Speedy deletion of File:1 Decembrie 1918 Boulevard.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:1 Decembrie 1918 Boulevard.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Constanta Area
Hi Taxicon,

We rely on official data from |INSSE and |Eurostat. Based on these sources, the figures for Constanta are 124.89 km2 and, respectively, 1013.5 Km2 (for metropolitan area).

In Romania, there is no official definition for urban area and INSSE use the only indicator as "administrative teritorial area" (for cities and communes), area that includes residential area, industrial area, roads area, agricultural, forest and water areas (include adjacent territorial waters). Eurostat has definitions for core city and Larger Urban Zones.

Constanta has a land area of 124.89 km2.

Thank you,

(Rgvis (talk) 07:09, 17 May 2010 (UTC))


 * Dear Taxicon,


 * First, a friendly advice: watch your language and review this: WP:CIV;


 * Please, start using my talkpage for any response you would have for me;


 * INSSE (and official statistics) is the first reliable source for dealing with this kind of data;


 * Statistically, there is no difference between a municipality and a city (you can get some official explanations at http://www.mures.insse.ro/main.php?id=433), the municipality term defines the rank (of development), so all municipalities are cities but not all cities are municipalities; there is one (and the same) area for one city (municipality or not);


 * The 2002 Census came with data for population density for each city; at that time, those data (used to be at http://www.insse.ro/cms/rw/resource/populatia_recensamant02.xls?download=true) had been used on Wikipedia to calculate the area of each city; there is one (and the same) source for all cities; you can get these informations from the INSSE Tempo Databases at: https://statistici.insse.ro/ or from http://colectaredate.insse.ro/phc/public.do?siteLang=en


 * Sure we can use other sources, statements, or articles but in this case we would not have the same standard of comparison; for example, the official website of The Romanian National Tourist Office — North America, (part of Romanian Ministry of Tourism), claims that the area of Constanta is 58 km2 (http://www.romaniatourism.com/constanta.html);


 * Now, using the common sense, and observing what you did on Romanian Wikipedia, I am asking you (more ore less a rethorical question), is Constanta a city with an area of 35 km x 35 km or does the metropolitan area have an area of 46 km x 46 km !!?? I do not see Medgidia, Topraisar or Ciocârlia being part of the metropolitan area or Siminoc, Eforie, Murfatlar, Cumpana, Navodari, Lumina or Valu lui Traian, in the administration of Constanta City Hall. I am asking you, do you have any ideea how does a city (without metropolitan area) of 1,000 square kilometre look like? If not, please, check these links: Berlin (891.82 km2), Toronto (630 km2) or New York City (789.4 km2).


 * Using the same common sense, and analyzing the map with the designated metropolitan area for Constanta (http://www.zmc.ro/harti/), it can easily be observed that the area of Mihail Kogalniceanu commune (165.51 km2) is larger than the territorial area of the City (Municipality) of Constanta! How come you can see City of Constanta as an area six times larger than area of Mihail Kogalniceanu commune??? Or the area of City of Constanta as half of the entire metropolitan area??


 * What is definition for a metropolitan area?
 * -a geographical region with a relatively high population density at its core and close economic ties throughout the area, or
 * -a large population center consisting of a large metropolis and its adjacent zone of influence, or of more than one closely adjoining neighboring central cities and their zone of influence.


 * Also, you might also be interested in what urban area does mean and the connection between this definition, the population density and urban sprawl!


 * So, if you insist to be ridiculuos, go ahead! The city of Constanta, with 1121.66 km2 and 302,171 inhabitants (as of 1 January 2009), would have a density of 269.4 people/square kilometre (??!!) and Constanta Metropolitan Area, with 446,595 inhabitants (as of 1 January 2009) on 2121.39 km2 would have a density of 210.5 people/square kilometre!!

I have noticed the discrepancy between data for many Bulgarian cities (not only for Varna) and Eurostat data. If there is any doubt about the authenticity of data in these cases, you can use the fact templates: Template:Reference necessary or Template:Citation needed for raising questions of unsourced text (data).

Soon, we will be able to use one single source for all major cities in EU: please, check these links: http://www.urbanaudit.org/ and http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/region_cities/introduction

Varna, for example, is shown (for 2001) with a population of 312,889 and a density of 1,733 inh/km2, so the area would be 180 km2 and a Larger Urban Zone (the LUZ is a definition of the metropolitan area in EU) of 360,396 (2007) at a density of 333 inh/km2 (data for 2001), so it would have an area (for LUZ) of about 1050 km2.

On the other hand, how much of the area (of any city) is used as urban (real city) area is a different story. In Romania, the PUG (Planul Urbanistic General) is what defines the urban (intravilan) area.

Examples:


 * for Timisoara (total area 129.2 km2): http://www.primariatm.ro/timisoara/index.php?meniuId=15&viewCat=135

According to the data received from the Timis Agency for Cadastre and Real Estate Publicity, the Timisoara Municipality has the following Agricultural Real Estate (in 2004):

The total surface area of the Timisoara Municipality is of 12,926.83 ha (129.2 km2), of which 7902.61 ha arable land and 5024.22 ha non-arable land;

The surface of 7902.61 ha (79.02 km2) agricultural land comprises: 7130.57 ha arable land; 425.57 ha pastures; 223.25 ha hay-fields; 39.20 ha vineyards; 84.02 ha orchards.

The surface of 5024.22 ha (50.24 km2) of non-agricultural land comprises: 649.08 ha forests; 317.31 ha waters, ponds; 2920.36 ha constructions; 1062.51 ha roads; 74.96 ha unproductive land.

On the other hand: http://www.timisoreni.ro/info/recreatie_tratament/Spatiile_verzi_din_Timisoara.html

So, for Timisoara, from 129.2 km2 total area, the "visible" urban area (constructions, roads, parks) is about 50-60 km2.

The situation is different for other cities:


 * for Cluj-Napoca, from a total area of 179.5 km2, only 40 km2 (in 2004) were "intravilan" (99.31 km2 agricultural land, 28.12 km2 forest, 33.97 km2 constructions, 3.95 km2 roads, 2.86 km2 water, etc.) (http://www.primariacj.ro/proiecte-dezbateri/Dezvoltare%20urbana.pdf)


 * for Iasi, from a total administrative area of 93.9 km2, in 2006, 73.3 km2 were "intravilan"; that means Iasi has much less agricultural land than Timisoara and Cluj-Napoca have! (ref: http://89.42.111.10/action/article?ID=19597)

I do not know the data for Constanta, but, probably, from 124.89 km2 around 50-60% is the urban area (as we can assume from maps).

For Bucharest about 70% from 228 km2 is urban area, 30 km2 forest, parks, 13.5 km2 water, agricultural land, etc..

As a conclusion: I do not see major differences in terms of real urban area between the main cities in Romania but Bucharest is only about 2.5 - 3 times larger (in area) than the other cities and that's why it is so crowded!

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called TAXIcon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name TAXIcon~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
