Gypsy Article
Hello Ioncristi Yesterday you left this message on my userpage:

I can see that you are new to Wikipedia, and your input is of course welcome. Being from Romania, you surely have a unique perspective to offer. As you become more experienced wikipedian, you will notice that such statements above are found not on userpages, but on the "discussion" pages (userpages are considered the domain of the user), that people sign their posts (with four ~s), refrain from using invective, and assume good faith of other editors, unless there is compelling reason not to. There are of course many more things you will pick up as you go along and I wish you well.

As to the statement itself, I take it as flattery your assessment of my Linux and internet skills. As for the Gypsy article, I would point out that the sum total of my edits there is one reversion, and I, like any human being on the planet (save those who have already been hardbanned) may edit this or any wikipedia article (this is the beauty of the wikipedia). As for the statement of what is and is not a gypsy, I can agree with you except for the "gypsy is not a Roma" statement - indeed "Roma" is self-reference used by the group referred to in English as "gypsy", and as you surely know, there are many Romanians and Hungarians who are also gypsies.István 13:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
