'Don't mention the war!'
Hi again Dahn. I wonder if you could review recent edits at Iași concerning the mistreatment of Jews. How do we acknowledge revisionist views without giving them undue prominence. My concern is specifically with this edit, and a definite editorial pattern by the same editor. (for convenience, here are links to bios of the 'historians' concerned - Iosif Constantin Drăgan, Alex Mihai Stoenescu and Gheorghe Buzatu RashersTierney Best. (talk) 13:09, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Re:Peter Feldmann promoted?
For a person who claims to use professional level English, I am surprised that you do not know the value of clear communication. When DYK set are assembled there is often not enough time to wade through large walls of text in an attempt to extract subtle shades of meaning (see Too long; didn't read for further explanation). Instead, as explained in the Editnotice for all DYK nominations, there is a system of symbols used to highlight whether a review is completed and if there are any outstanding issues needing to be resolved before promotion. If you examine the nomination in question you will find only two comments are so marked and that the most recent (made more than three days before promotion) showed no outstanding issues. If there where still problems it would have been nice of you to actually make this clear by actually following the instructions at the top of the edit page. --Allen3 talk 12:18, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Emigrating does not imply naturalization
You assume that to be an "x emigrate to y" someone needs to be naturalized. We do not limit categories like Category:Peruvian writers to people who were citizens of Peru. If we did we would end up excluding some people from any by nationality category at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:51, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 24
Hi. When you recently edited Românul, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Russophile and Nativism (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

New Terms of Use
Hey, I figured I'll let you know of the new Terms of Use. Here's something to consider when editing Wikipedia: '''

Responsibility — You take responsibility for your edits (since we only host your content).

Civility — You support a civil environment and do not harass other users.

Lawful Behavior — You do not violate copyright or other laws.''' --Redroom2 (talk) 13:06, 29 April 2012 (UTC)


 * To imply that I would ever have violated those terms, even before they were official, is trolling. Go away, Anittas. Dahn (talk) 11:23, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Salut. Nu vrei să dai o mână de ajutor şi la pagina ro:Editura Ion Creangă? Observ că tu ai creat articolul în engleză şi bănuiesc că tu l-ai scrie cel mai repede şi în română. (Terraflorin (talk) 06:40, 3 May 2012 (UTC)).
 * Eu te-am întrebat pe tine dacă poţi completa articolul din același motiv - lipsa timpului (acum sunt prins până peste urechi cu ro:proiect:Fizică - apropo te poți înscrie la acest proiect dacă vrei, cam bate vântu în general la ro.wiki). În legătură cu Editura Ion Creangă repet ce am scris mai sus (bănuiesc că tu l-ai scrie cel mai repede și în română) sau putem face altfel: completezi cât/cum/când poți și mă ocup eu de diacritice dacă asta ar fi problema cea mai mare!

Less time
I'm sorry to hear you've been through something similar.

In my case the damage is permanent. The threat is still active (and too few seem to care), which by a certain chain of implications means I will have much less time for Wikipedia, basically only the weekends. So if I seem to take a week or longer to react, you will know why. Just in case you want to know details, see this, although the story might disgust you as much as it disgusts me. — Adi  Japan  15:41, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I forgot to mention that I looked over the section in Românul you pointed me to, and I didn't find anything suspicious in it, including the linguistic statements. But then again I know too little about Românul. From what I read in the article, I'm guessing that Caragiale, in his O noapte furtunoasă, might actually be referring to Românul when he mocks Vocea Patriotului Nationale and their spelling idiosyncrasies.
 * About the threat, I don't plan on doing anything else now, other than just survive. A supervision wouldn't help much, because it is not the community's behavior that needs to be corrected, but the attitude (which in turn would then automatically lead to an improved behavior). The community must realize that threats are destructive and shouldn't be tolerated, and hold that as an important value, but the reaction I got was almost to the contrary: I was criticized even more than the perpetrator. And the irony is that some people say ro.wp is under my control...
 * But I have signs (mostly through email) that reasonable people actually agree with me, just like you do. The problem is that those reasonable people avoid taking part in the debate, as if by agreeing with me they would have to suffer too.
 * Anyway, I guess time will heal everything. Thanks for offering to support me. — Adi  Japan  14:52, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

bro, i just got back from Berlin and it was A-Ma-Zing! I visited the Pergamon, the Altes Museum and I was stunned! I was like, holy Motherfucker ... this is what I'm talking about! You know what I'm saying? The whole city is majestic, I would even say grand (yes, I hate that word, too); and the people are friendly, albeit a bit rigid and their English is a bit ... meh ... but it was still good! So whatcha been up to lately? Any dead commie I should know about? Dude, I'm telling you, Berlin was so awesome and the people are goodlooking and healty and they have nice a nightlife, beautiful parks and stuff but beware 'cause it can all get expensive. The entry to the zoo is like 16 euro and if you want an icecream (a Magnum), you'll have to pay 2.50. If you want to party and 'taste' beer, I'd recommend Prague. Oh, oh ... and I went to see the new Snow White movie and it was bloody good, much better than i expected (although imdb.com only gives it a 6.7).

why am i (you keep referring to me as annitas) turning into a complete moron? was she, or was she not, known as Codoi? Why do u consider me a moron? My IQ is above average so the shoe doesnt fit. whats ur iq? --Madmans stone (talk) 13:25, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Lost in translation
Hi Dahn. A new edit at Antiziganism seems to me to be overstating what it claims are contained in references. My Romanian has become a little rusty, (long overdue a visit back), and I wonder if you could confirm/allay my doubts. This is the section:
 * There were also a few criticisms of the Professor's Dr. Ioan Bradu Iamandescu experimental study, which linked the listening of "manele" to increased level of aggressiveness and low autocontrol and set a correlation between preference for that music style and low cognitive skills 1, 2.
