Strange moves

How many of these recent moves look like they need to be reverted? A couple might be OK, but Arad, Arad looks absurd. - Biruitorul ^Talk 21:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean "absurd"? Don't you know the song?... If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere... Dahn (talk) 23:30, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Heh. Speaking of absurdity, he's also doing this sort of thing, creating three columns out of six items, and two asterisks next to each column heading - personally, I see nothing wrong with the old version, but some people don't know where to stop "improving" things. Sort of like the guy who's still relentlessly spreading the "related information" heading no one asked for... - Biruitorul ^Talk 00:18, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I moved them all back, since they were all towns and cities, for which we have "Town, Romania", whereas for communes and villages, we have "Village, County". bogdan (talk) 22:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that's right. Thank you. - Biruitorul ^Talk 23:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Do you still do maps?

B, I'm hoping you still edit maps and will enjoy helping me on this. With the overview of sources outlined in Ion Antonescu, it may be worth transforming Transnistria as it appears here into a hachure or something (whatever you feel is consistent with the style you effectively introduced with the original maps). While Ro certainly occupied and administrated the region, sources note that it was not actually/clearly part of Ro territory - even though it appears Antonescu hoped to turn it into one once a particular dystopia was to take hold of Europe. Since I once tried editing vector maps and ended up with a small disaster you may remember, and since I'm no more educated in it than I was back then, I'm not touching it myself. Dahn (talk) 01:14, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I'll try to do it. bogdan (talk) 21:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

No rush. Dahn (talk) 22:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

The 'spam links' on the names pages

>> You wrote on my page: "Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia..."

Hello Bogdan, thanks for your message on my discussion page. I regret that you have removed a lot of links on the pages I have recently edited (by the way, you have left a lot of empty 'References' sections in those documents when removing the links). I should say that my goal is not to promote any web site or spam the Wiki pages. I just think that any article (I am working on the names pages, since this is my favorite topic) should cite reliable sources, otherwise people just won't be able to trust the information they see, since you know that all the pages are being permanently damaged. I usually revert several vandalisms on the names pages a day. So, when you see that the name John means "carrot" you need to check and verify this information somehow. Regarding what I am doing - I always do some research before editing an article, fix its errors, add some additional information and a link. I am the member of the WikiProject Anthroponymy project, and I did get an approve of the group founders/members to do this work. Regarding the external links I usually add - I use that web site since I really like its quality and the way they present the information. I do see hundreds of similar links to the web sites like behindthename.com or thinkbabynames.com, and I do not think that anybody needs to look through all those pages and just remove the links. I could use some other web site, but I do not see a big difference here - you could rebuke me for promoting any other web site, as well (for instance, behindthename.com). All the links I add to the articles are highly relevant to the topic, so this is definitely not a spam. When I started doing this work several months ago, the founders of the WikiProject Anthroponymy project did tell me that my work is quite useful, but if you think that I should stop editing the names pages, and this work is harmful - I can just tell the project members that I stop doing this.

thank you,
