Salut! Mulţumesc şi eu pentru mesaj şi nu ezitaţi să mă contactaţi dacă aveţi vreo problemă, nedumerire sau întrebare! --Vlad 12:19, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apăi să nu vă faceţi griji din asta, doar sunteţi la Wikipedia în limba engleză. Puteţi să fiţi sigur că orice veţi scrie, va fi cineva vorbitor nativ, care va corecta dacă este cazul. Problema este că există vorbitori de engleză britanică, engleză americană, engleză australiană etc. deci fiecare va corecta după cum este obişnuit. Apoi mai există români plecaţi sau care vorbesc engleză la un nivel foarte bun, aproape de vorbitorii nativi sau profesional. Poate îi puteţi scrie lui Dahn, este singurul de până acum pe care să-l "cunosc" care să vorbească engleza la nivel profesiona sau Ronline dar el e destul de ocupat cu treburi administrative (de mediere); altcineva foarte bun este Jmabel un american care a petrecut ceva timp în România şi a prins drag de România: vorbeşte şi scrie româneşte, fiind vorbitor nativ de engleză. --Vlad|-> 12:49, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mulţumesc, asemenea! :) --Vlad|-> 13:10, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vlad, I find "a prins drag de România" a bit strong, but, yes, I'm always glad to help translate.

Vintila, welcome, and thank you for your friendly remarks on my talk page. As you can see, in the article on Tănase, I came about as close as I could to simply reciting your version of the events (and I'll add your recent remarks about the film). As I think you understand, most blogs, forums, and personal web sites cannot be cited the same way we can cite a published book, an official statement, or a peer-reviewed paper. So the most we can do is cite it, indicating where we got it, and say that it "has the ring of truth". (Indeed, some would say that is more than we should do, but in this case I think it was defensible.)

Anyway, I hope you stick around. Do remember that when writing encyclopedia articles, it is strongly recommended to cite one's sources clearly. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Citing sources. -- Jmabel | Talk 17:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know: if you add a link to Portal:Romania/New article announcements, your article will be checked. No need do contact a particular individual to do the job. - Jmabel | Talk 16:53, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
