Romanians
Hi Lorra4ro, thank you for choosing better representative Romanians. On the other hand I have two remarks. First, I think Michael the Brave should be included too for his achievement, the unification of Romanians. The second, Clara Haskil perhaps could be selected as a representative of Jews in Romania. -- Regards, Saturnian (talk) 18:47, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Romanians
Hi, thank you for your kind words! I really felt that it should be changed, so I am happy to know I wasn't the only one who thought this way. When I made that collage, I thought of the people who are representative internationally. But you're right, Michal the Brave's merit is too big to not be included. I will change the mosaic no later than two days.

Regarding Clara Haskil, I do not think there's any problem that she was, ethnically speaking, Jewish. Her nationality was Romanian, just as Napoleon Bonaparte was French, although he had only Italian blood, or as Sigmund Freud was Austrian, even though he was an ethnic Jew.
 * You are welcome, thanks. -- Regards, Saturnian (talk) 15:20, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Maria Tănase, Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade, Petre Țuțea and Nicolaus Olahus could be included too.


 * The new collage looks great! Congratulations and Happy Easter! --Saturnian (talk) 07:50, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Christ is risen! Thank you for your wishes! I also liked the collage, but someone removed it some days ago without posting a comment. I don't know if I should undo his action... --Lorra4ro 13:31, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Christ is risen! I had the misfortune to encounter those guys, Dahn and Anonimu. I found them hateful. In my opinion they are plain anti-romanians even it seems they are Romanian citizens. -- Saturnian (talk) 16:28, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Lorra4ro,

The file you created was deleted from Commons because the license terms for each image from collage were not specified. I think most of the images from the collage are public domain and probably only the newest pictures (eg. of Hagi) could be an issue. The best way would be to upload on Commons each picture you used in the collage specifying for each the license terms. Please let me know if you need help. -- Regards, Saturnian (talk) 12:34, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Virigina Zeani article
Thanks for the good work you've been doing to this article, but please note that the following links, which you've added, are essentially raw URLS, i.e. there is no explanation of what they mean:

So, for example, taking the first one, it needs to look like this when it appears in the list of refs: "An Afternoon with Legendary Diva Virginia Zeani" 23 January 2011, on verobeachopera.org

 * Hey, no problem. Certainly, it is better to have references, rather than none!  You're making it an interesting article, so keep up the good work. Viva-Verdi (talk) 19:16, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Lorra4ro, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Maria Björnson has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:34, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
