Aromanians descendents of Ancient Macedonians

Hello dear Sir! I want to ask you something.. do you know that the Oficial Since of FYROM recognise Alexander the Great as "vlasi" ? Why do you delete the macedonian native name of today "aromanians"? Thank you. (Mintimenu (talk) 22:14, 13 July 2010 (UTC))

Look, I can only find the part about Alexander being Vlach amusing. And I would've laughed hard if I hadn't already seen a decent number of ridiculous claims around him. That's not the place and time for a huge discussion as to why this could not be so, but I'll refrain to a simple explanation as to why I reverted your edits:
  1. The ridiculous number of Aromanians you put.
  2. The fact that you removed the scientific term "Macedo-Romanians"
  3. The fact that you didn't check the page on Macedonians prior to adding this name there (without even providing us with some sources).--Laveol T 23:23, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Turtucaia

Arguments
- it belonged to Romania for 27 years: 1913-1940
- is located on the border with Romania
- there is an article "Battle of Turtucaia" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.117.163.149 (talk) 11:00, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Arguments against:
  • There is significant Romanian population.
  • It was part of Romania for a mere 27 years (or even less).
  • The fact that such an article exists does not determine what should be in this one. --Laveol T 12:28, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring at Tutrakan

You're being discussed by administrators at WP:AN3#Laveol reported by 79.117.148.221 (Result: ). You should respond there and promise to wait for consensus before reverting again. EdJohnston (talk) 16:36, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

The case has ended with a warning to you. Anyone who sets about removing alternate-language versions of place names from Eastern European articles is in danger of sanctions under WP:DIGWUREN. See the advice of Anonimu at Talk:Tutrakan#Romanian name, and be sure to obtain consensus from others that your edits comply with WP:PLACE before removing any alternate names.
