Hy,

I've seen that you are intrested in Romania-related subjects. I hope you will find these links intresting and useful:
 * Romanian Wikipedians' notice board
 * Portal:Romania/New article announcements

The first one is a message board for the romanian related subject and editors, and the second one is a page were we use to add the newest articles such that they can be examined and hopefuly improuved by the group.

Thank you Mihai -talk 21:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Iliescu
First of all, please sign your posts. Concerning Iliescu. What I believe is not important. What is important is that while Iliescu was president he had no official party function, and no right to interefere in party business. Just like Constantinescu and Basescu. How can I put it: you can question the way the law is applies in Romania, because everybody interferes with party business. However, the intervention is not official, so I cannot write "Iliescu ruled PSD while president". Dpotop 10:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Vino la pagina de discutii Transnistria
În 17 septembrie va fi referendum în Transnistria legat de independenţa regiunii. Cu această ocazie probabil multă lume va căuta pe Wikipedia informaţii despre Transnistria. Am încercat să adaug în articol nişte informaţii legate de acest referendum, anume:

- faptul că mai multe organizaţii antiseparatiste au lansat un apel la boicotare, considerînd referendumul "farsă"

- faptul că din 46 de ţări membre ale Consiliului Europei, 45 sînt împotriva recunoaşterii referendumului, numai RUsia are altă părere

- faptul că datele Comisiei Electorale Centrale din Tiraspol au fost schimbate în mod ciudat, anume numărul total de alegători s-a micşorat cu 7% faţă de 2005, ceea ce ridică suspiciuni asupra unei încercări de creştere artificială a prezenţei la vot prin raportarea unui număr mai mic de alegători înregistraţi.

Totdeauna am dat lincurile care dovedesc cele scrise de mine, n-am născocit nimic din burtă.

Userul Willian Mauco, care pare fan Tiraspol, mereu mi-a şters adăugirile. (vezi istoria paginii)

Puteţi vedea la pagina de discuţii Transnistria ce argumente a adus. Anume: ăia care cer boicotarea referendumului din Transnistria sînt foşti KGB-işti, că aşa zice o organizaţie rusească de analiză (a dat un linc pentru asta). Întîi a spus că respectivii nici nu sînt din Transnistria, ci doar din Basarabia, dar i-am dovedit că unii dintre semnatarii apelului la boicot sînt transnistreni. Am fost împăciuitor, i-am zis că n-are decît să adauge părerea organizaţiei ruseşti că antiseparatiştii sînt foşti KGBişti, că n-are decît să-i considere pe cei care vor boicotarea referendumului drept băieţi răi, dar faptul în sine, că s-a cerut boicotarea referendumului, trebuie menţionat. Degeaba, mereu mi s-au şters adăugirile - pentru celelalte 2 fapte nici n-a adus argumente.

A mai fost o adăugire care a şters-o, despre arestarea a 4 persoane din Transnistria care sînt împotriva separatismului (între timp li s-a dat drumul). În cazul ăsta am renunţat eu să mai insist pentru includerea informaţiei în articol (deşi informaţia e incontestabilă), tocmai fiindcă n-am vrut să mă cert prea mult.

În perioada asta cînd agenţiile de ştiri vor menţiona referendumul de la Tiraspol, se va citi articolul Transnistria în Wikipedia poate mai mult decît într-un an întreg. De aia acum e nevoie să existe în articol informaţii despre contestarea corectitudinii referendumului. Nu cer să se menţioneze ca adevăr absolut faptul că referendumul e incorect, ci doar că există unii (OSCE, 45 din 46 ţări ale Consiliului Europei, unele organizaţii din zonă şi din Basarabia) care consideră asta. Vă cer de aceea sprijinul ca să interveniţi pe pagina de discuţii Transnistria pentru a susţine rămînerea informaţiei în pagină şi să repuneţi informaţia atunci cînd Mauco o şterge (eu nu pot să verific chiar 24 de ore din 24). Evitaţi atacurile suburbane, păstraţi ton civilizat. mulţumesc.

Who is William Mauco Here is an article about a Wikipedia celebrity, William Mauco, and his relations with the International Council for Democratic Institutions and State Sovereignty (ICDISS), an organisation "which seems to be a front organisation for a Kremlin-backed rogue statelet called Transdniestria" (quote from the article) http://0.bypass-filter.com/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL2Vkd2FyZGx1Y2FzLmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8yMDA2LzA4L2dvdGNoYS0yLmh0bWw%3D

Edward Lucas wrote about Mauco: "The other lead is William Mauco. He has an extensive record of posting intelligent and fairly neutral entries on Wikipedia, not only about TD but about other unrecognised statelets. Crucially, these predate ICDISS's birthday of January 2006. And he also claims to have been at their conference in Mexico City in April of this year. I have written to him asking to get in touch, and had a friendly email in reply. I am planning to follow up this research in an article in European Voice at the end of August, so watch this space!"--MariusM 08:41, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Votează contra ştergerii articolului Heaven of Transnistria
Împreună cu EvilAlex (un tip din Tighina - Transnistria) am creat un articol despre propaganda separatistă a Tiraspolului Heaven of Transnistria. I s-a cerut ştergerea. Te rog ajută-ne să păstrăm articolul, votînd contra ştergerii. Destul s-a şters din articolul principal Transnistria, Wikipedia e plină de propagandă a Tiraspolului, să avem măcar un articol care explică această propagandă--MariusM 18:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

LGBTProject
Hi, MIsterMan! Thanks for tagging Lavender scare! Just FYI, I've reverted it because those tags go on the talk page. Again - thanks for your help! By the way, have you considered joining the LGBT WikiProject? Take a look, and if you're interested, sign up - we'd love your participation! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 21:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Monica Macovei
Hi! I'd just like to say a word of appreciation for your work on Monica Macovei - this article about one of the most important personalities in Romanian politics was much needed! I think it could even be nominated as a featured article candidate soon. Cheers, Ronline ✉ 10:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Gay rights in Romania
Hi! I think the improvements made in the gay rights record of Romania since 2000 have been notable, particularly considering the country's very poor record in this area in the 1990s. Since 2000, there have been four significant reforms made in this field: the repeal of Article 200, the equalisation of the age of consent, the introduction and application of broad anti-discrimination laws, and the organisation of gay pride parades. I think these four achievements for gay rights can be classified as "notable". While I believe that there is still a lot of progress to be made, particularly regarding social acceptance, hate crimes and partnership laws, it has to be acknowledged that in the past decade the country has moved from one of widespread legal discrimination and homophobia to one where minimum gay rights standards are met and LGBT people are treated rather well by the law.

Additionally, I don't think that painting Romania in a bad light will do anything to help the gay rights movement. I think the best approach is something like, "We've made a lot of progress, but more needs to be done". As to inequality in marriage being an anti-gay law, this comes down to semantics. I think that the "Laws against gays" section should only refer to laws which are explicitly anti-gay, such as sodomy laws, unequal ages of consent, bans on LGBT people serving in the military, etc. On the other hand, you're right in saying that by discriminating against same-sex couples in marriage, the Family Code can also be seen as "anti-gay", so I think the current version is fine.

Bună! I've been working to set up the WikiProject Dacia to organize better the articles about Dacia and improve their quality. We need help expanding and reviewing many articles, and we also need more images. Maybe you find it interesting and wish to join.
