Hello,
I am one of the contributors from the Polish Wikipedia.
Could you possibly create and upload also a blank map of Romania (with no lettering) so that help other language Wikipedias benefit from your hard work. Thank you.

I really like that map you use of Romania. I wish every province/state/country article on Wikipedia had one that like that. What software did you use?
Hi, you cast a vote in the TEMP5 debate. The Temp5 proposal was voted down by 61.3% to 38.6%. We seem to be going around in circles on the whole issue of the main page. A new vote is now taking place to clarify what exactly we want, namely
As of now, the whole issue seems surrounded by complete confusion. This way, finally and definitively, we will know what we want and when we want it. So do please express your opinions. The vote is on the same page as the previous votes. FearÉIREANN 20:31, 13 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Your series of articles on Romania could, and IMHO should, be reduced to a single one. Most of them would form a single paragraph in a consistant history, whereas now you have to jump from article to article to learn it. Given the way the 'net works, I assure you that your readers will stop after the first one.
No, actually its YOUR view that are not accepted by moden historians. There is not one shred of proof to support continuity, and every evidence against it. What youve written on this topic is idiocy - truly. I am not Hungarian and have no preference for hungarians. If you are an educated person, you will reflect on the crap you post and take out any other lies youve added to wikjipedia.
Why did you put ? by the birth years for Austin Clarke and Seán Ó Ríordáin in Irish poetry? The years given are correct. Bmills 10:09, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Hello! Could you please take a look at Talk:Romance languages? Thanks! Boraczek 16:19, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)
I saw you changing the Rumania spelling so I ran a query on an old dump: User:Dori/Queries#Rumania. In case you were using google to find them, you might have missed some (obviously some will have been fixed already). Dori 21:42, Nov 26, 2003 (UTC)
Hi Bogdangiusca, i presume you are online at present. I started writing more about one of your countrymen but was involved in an editorial conflict with you. So i will just leave it you to find out and write more about this musician. Norwikian 14:10, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Thanks for the help on the Dacian words. Your English is obviously better than my Romanian. I had translated the article from the Romanian-language site, which could (of course) presume that the meanings of these words were self-evident. I obviously should have been looking things up instead of assuming I know meanings. Normally I do better than this, honest. Jmabel 19:18, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Bogdan, te rugăm să votezi cu da sau nu dacă vrei ca Wikipedia românească să folosească un logo pentru Crăciun, pe pagina ro:Wikipedia:Vot_Crăciun --User:Danutz 19:30, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Bogdan, could you have a look at my questions/comments on Talk:B.U.G. Mafia? -- Jmabel 01:02, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the diagram for Zeeman effect, it needed it :) --AstroNomer 06:21, Feb 6, 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for checking the Lord's Prayer on the Dalmatian language article! I thought it was wrong somehow, but I couldn't figure out how. I just thought it a nice idea to make it in 3 columns instead of simply writing it one after the other, and now, I guess, it's even correct :) --denny vrandečić 21:18, Feb 6, 2004 (UTC)
Please see my reply to your comment on Wikipedia talk:Translation -- Jmabel 22:55, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hi Bogdangiusca, I'm just dropping you a note to let you know that I've completed the translation of Picard language (as well as I could). :) fabiform | talk 20:24, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I'm a little unsure about the edits you made to Dagestan. Could you take a look at the talk page and explain? Thanks, Isomorphic 05:46, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Pretty much completed the translation of Romain Rolland, although I'm uncertain on a few book titles. -- Jmabel 07:26, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I've completed your requested translation of fr:Hêtre to European beech. Nathan 15:04, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
There was an interesting comment a few days back at Talk:Dacian language, basically: "vjeverica is squirrel in Croatian". This is probably worth integrting into Dacian language and maybe some other related article. I'm currently dealing with back problems, not able to go to work, only on line about 50 mins a day (hence lagging by several days even on monitoring my watchlist) & don't have time to follow through, but thought you might. -- Jmabel 21:50, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
On the heads of state pages, I've generally put not fully sovereign rulers indented (**) within the state to which they owed allegiance. Thus, Wallachian rulers ought to go under Ottoman Empire (which, of course, does not yet exist on most of these pages). Romania did not become fully sovereign until 1878, did it? john 07:54, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Yes, autonomous, certainly. But they were not considered sovereign, as far as I am aware. I mean, Bulgaria was de facto independent from 1878, but it was still considered to be technically part of the Ottoman Empire until 1908 - the liberal government of that year was even going to have Bulgarian reps in the new Ottoman parliament. So, autonomy, yeah, maybe even de facto independence, but de jure the regions were considered (at least by the other European states) to be part of the Ottoman Empire. john 08:12, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Agreed. The European states recognized Romania only after the Independence War of 1877. Bogdan | Talk 08:20, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Have a look at my most recent comments in Talk:Bucharest. -- Jmabel 20:54, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Some comments on your Nicolae Paulescu article.
1) Paulescu was definitely NOT the "discoverer of insulin", by any definition. The nature of insulin, although it was not called this at the time of course, was first discovered by Oscar Minkowski in 1889, and further developed by Eugene Opie in 1901.
2) Paulescu was not the first to use insulin. This honour belongs to Georg Ludwig Zuelzer in 1906, followed up with similar studies by E.L. Scott and Israel Kleiner in the pre-war era, all predating or being contemporaries of Paulescu's work. In fact it appears that Paulescu's methodology was a copy of Scott's.
3) Paulescu's method could not be used for the treatment of diabetes. Like the other teams, his methods extracted the insulin by essentially grinding up the pancreas. This makes it impossible to extract the pure insulin from the other biological material, thus making it essentially useless for injection into anyone but the person it came from. It was Banting's idea to naturally "kill off" the rest of the pancreas that was the key to successful extraction, something no-one else suggested before.
4) Banting and Best did NOT duplicate his experiments. Banting's notebook on his unique method predates Paulescu's publications by well over a year. Moreover the experiments are completely unlike each other. There appears to be no evidence that he was even aware of Paulescu's experiments until after he won the Nobel in 1923. Later that year Paulescu wrote to Banting including his papers, assuming he had read them.
I know there are a lot of Romanian sites claiming Paulescu to be a "victim" of some sort of conspiracy, but the historical record is pretty clear on this: Paulescu was one of many steps on the long road to the successful extraction of insulin, but certainly by no means was he the first (discoverer) or last (successful) step.
Bogdan, you may notice I have recently done some copyediting on several of your articles on Romanian topics. I hope you like what I've done. --Gary D 07:02, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
