October 2011 Census

Whoever edited the data based on the recent census, please read the INSSE press releases and revert it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.115.126.119 (talk) 19:54, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

National Institute of Statistics of Romania (INSSE), Press Release, 1 November 2011: In order to avoid any misinterpretation: These results do not represent the population of Romania! First partial results of 2011 census are going to be published at the end of January 2012 and first preliminary data in April - May 2012!

To 81.229.43.123: are you that thick? Read the frigging INSSE site and get a clue about what an encyclopedia means. (comment added by initial poster) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.115.126.119 (talk) 20:22, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I noticed this issue when reading over page protection requests. Using edit summaries such as "vandalism" or comments like above, is unhelpful to discussion. The issue as I see it here is the altering of population figures, using a source that has been noted as incomplete. Given the fact that the census data indeed is noted by the publisher as incomplete, thus unreliable, so I think that using it at present would not be advisable. It should be made clear in the article that the current data is as of a certain date (2004 from what I saw) but until full results of the 2011 census are published, they shouldn't be used. Hopefully this helps, but I've added this page to my watch list so will see further developments. Steven Zhang ^{The clock is ticking....} 21:37, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

If you check this: 81.229.43.123 and this: User contributions you will understand what "type" of editor is this guy (and how many articles have been already altered).

On the other hand, on Romanian Wikipedia the same person was immediately stopped and reverted (ro.wiki contributions)!

And still, it makes no sense to dismiss the preliminary October 2011 census results, yet insist to use that random July 2011 estimation of 21,904,551 people which is even further from reality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.118.254.150 (talk) 12:21, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Isn't the official data of the 2011 already available? The article says total pop. stands at 21.9 mil which is 2.9 mil over the number officially released. Dapiks (talk) 06:44, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

The data are provisional, but there is no reason not to update statistics with the latest data, as per first (2 February 2012) official (2011 census) data releases from the National Institute of Statistics [1]. Anyhow, provisional census data are more accurate than old data estimates.

On Wikipedia, it is a common practice to have statistics (provisional, preliminary, or final) data updated, for example: 2011 census of India#Census report + India#Demographics.

Thank you, (Rgvis (talk) 07:51, 20 February 2012 (UTC))

External history/culture links

I'm not going to edit the article since my views on this might not be shared by most, but an external history link about the number of jews killed in Romania during the second World War? Really? That's the history of a country? Two years? I'm not trying to minimize the importance of it or hide anything, but the article already mentions it and there are several other dedicated articles about it where the editor also included that link. Not to mention the tone of the linked webpage. So my question is, should that link really be there? Because it doesn't sound neutral to me. I'm not sure about some of the others, but that one stands out. 82.208.147.138 (talk) 23:05, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Agree with your POV, but this is not presented as an entire history of Romania, it is just added as an external link (section). It doest point out that much and this link can be very useful since contains many important information about the Jewish population in Romania. Maybe a new subsection under external links, something like Jews in Romania during the second World War and add this link there? What do you think? Adrian (talk) 09:56, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Why? There's a whole article, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Romania. If that warrants a separate section, what doesn't? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.208.147.138 (talk) 11:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Clear enough for me :).Adrian (talk) 11:58, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
