A star for you

You deserve this to balance out Anonimu and Anittas. —  $PЯINGεrαgђ  02:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. By the way, did you see this? Bwahahahahahaaaaa! ;-) K. Lásztocska^talk 03:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Yay?

Yay? :) AdrianTM (talk) 02:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm preparing the champagne... just in case, if not, at least I can get drunk :D AdrianTM (talk) 03:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Unsinkable...nuclear...rowboats. Jeez. Just think, they'll still be talking about us centuries from now! Incidentally, do check out the link KIDB just posted to my page--the video is in English and it's hilarious...sad, but hilarious. K. Lásztocska^talk 13:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

BTW, what does "cinstire eroilor" mean? K. Lásztocska^talk 17:38, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

something along the lines of "honor/praise the heroes" -- AdrianTM 17:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

LOL at the deliberate ambiguity, but your main antagonist is gone now, so I'm afraid all you'll get is a few blank stares. But hold on, so you avoided making a pro-Legionnaire statement by issuing an outright provocation to the Transylvanian Hungarians?? Shame on you, you ultranationalist Székely-kicker! ;-) K. Lásztocska^talk 00:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

But blue?! Doesn't that say "Lăncieri"? :D Dahn 01:21, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Indeed: better dead than... but then there's Bluze Albastre ;) Not even I know where this came from... Dahn 03:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

BTW, you are not accused of being philofascist, you are accused of being a fascist canibal... (sorry, but I got an image of a painted canibal wearing a German helmet) :D AdrianTM 03:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah but, you see, he admits to the charge of being a cannibal. It was bound to pop up sooner or later. :D Dahn 04:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

"Their mighty ships once again raised from their watery graves, our Intrepid Heroes of the good ships Dacia and Hungaria looked cautiously over the newly-calm waters, not daring yet to fully believe...but yes, it was true...could it be? The storm was over, the sea was peaceful, their latest battle had run its course. Hoisting their flags high to flutter cheerfully in the cool breeze, the various captains and admirals set sail for the mainland, there to beat their swords into plowshares and spend their time building great monuments in words to Romanian literature, Hungarian music, and various characters on all sides of the political spectrum. At last, all was well."

Now, THAT'S how we should have ended it. (Dahn, did you see what odd path I've taken the Balaton tale down?) Incidentally, Biru, I got your message and have replied on the forum. :) :) :) K. Lásztocska^talk 05:34, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, you see, what I do is I enter the forum page, open the newest posts page, click on "Edit", "Find in this page", type "Dahn". I then proceed to read the five words before the highlight and the five words after. What I couldn't help notice is that there was no highlight for quite a while now, ahem.

No, but really now: it's truly hilarious. The Arpads touch... I guffawed. But, hey, forget Funar: there's a new guy in town who, although he scored miserably at the Euro elections, knocked out Vadim and won more than Tokes (he's the new yardstick when it comes to ground-level agitation). Plus, he should add more color than the bland monomaniacal Funar. Here's the man, here's the dream. Enjoy. Dahn 06:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

What happened, have all the people who had a trace of common sense left Romania? Who can vote for such a guy? -- AdrianTM 06:45, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Ask Biru ;). But no, hey, I'm mean. Becali didn't get that much - did he, after all, gain that one seat they were still hoping for? On the other hand, I came to admit myself that Becali is at least one class over Vadim: I mean, he is really simple, but, unlike Vadim, he is not of the feces family. Especially when it comes to insignificant offices such as MEP, I prefer Becali. Dahn 06:52, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

From the little I saw of him, he looks like a reasonably good stand-up comedian. Speaking of which, how come there is no one from Romania in Category:Stand-up comedians by country? How about Birlic, or Constantin Tănase — would they qualify for Category:Romanian stand-up comedians, if such a cat were to exist? Anyone alive that could go in such a cat (besides jeejee, that is)? Turgidson 07:05, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, the fans made sure (I cringe...). Btw, we should have articles on Divertis and its members at some point. I did my share - does he qualify? Dahn 07:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Backing up a bit: good Lord. Dahn, you're right, I completely left you out of the most recent chapter. *hangs head in shame and slinks off into a corner.* Glad you liked the Árpád bit though: it's a recent recurring daydream of mine, as in recent months I've become quite fascinated with early Hungarian history and mythology--the thought that there might still be an (illegitimate, most likely) Árpád line out in the backwoods somewhere, and also an excuse to bring the story of Prince Csaba into the mix.

DYK

On 28 November, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Franklin Place, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

«Panoramic» image

It was not a personal Photo, just my mistake (I remembered I had one but it was b/w and not that detailed). This is a scannend image (can't remember where from though), not mine. Fair use. --Alex:Dan (talk) 10:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

what is this comment supposed to mean?

"more Nergaal specials coming our way" Nergaal (talk) 00:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I believe it is more important to have a stub article that can appear in the queue of a search, than to wait until someone has the energy to write something decent. This means that there is an interest in having those articles. Also, once an article is created, there will be some interested users in de-stubing them, or at least in making them 'acceptable' (as you just proved). Please keep in mind that those many of your contributions have been well below our standards are only a part of way more many articles I create and expand. Nergaal (talk) 01:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC

Roger Federer records page

Not sure why you feel this should be deleted. It is very notable the records that he is breaking and it takes a considerable amount of time to compile the records together in one place, which is why the article is valid. If your complaint is the sources, then you should compel the authors to source each one of the records.

Juan Carlos

I think the section you removed should be retained although perhaps not the top section of it above Robert of Worms (which might be made up.) But the section below Robert of Worms is undeniably accurate and I think it adds to the article to see how the man's ancestry can be traced back to the beginnings of his royal house, the house of Robert - this line also happens to be one of the longest in the world, which is cause for mention.

If you disagree, can I suggest a move to House of Bourbon? There, it would show the ancestral beginnings of that house, which would definitely be useful.

Mark J (talk) 22:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, that's fine. The same proposal appears to have been accepted by other royal houses, such as House of Tudor and House of Stuart. Cheers Mark J (talk) 16:56, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

ABP

Thanks, and yes, it looks quite reasonable. In fact, I don't know why they didn't simply add a "spouse" section in the infobox to begin with. Fascinating character, wouldn't you say? Dahn (talk) 18:05, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

On Eliade: fire at your own will - I'm sure they can find a place in the article, and we could expand on them from some stuff I posted for safekeeping on the talk page there. The word I'm thinking of when it comes to the other articles you mention is "spam" - better the redlinks (or, well, nothing).

In the meantime, I tickled the dragon on rowiki, and it seems that the controversy there revolves around a small cluster of people who actually want to promote extremist and antisemitic sites (or are even involved in promoting those sites). They write their own policies, act as if the project belongs to them, and have collectively flame warred me and other users with all sorts of attacks (some coming from an admin, who currently proposes demoting admins who do not agree with him). I want to take this further, because we are clearly talking about abuse, but just how much time and energy would this require? Little wonder that project has gone to hell. I'm as jaded as back in the Icarian days. Dahn (talk) 18:27, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the encouragement. As we stand, this is me and others praying to the Virgin (if you have the energy to read through it, you'll see what aspects this has come to involve, and who the usual suspects are - perhaps you could look through the recent history of the page, as you'll perhaps agree with me that two involved parties double as the prosecutor and the judge). Meta looks like a good next step, but one would have to start from scratch and deal with all the noise, threats and accusations yet again. This early assessment, alas, looks dead on for now. Dahn (talk) 19:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Argh! How could we get our hands on a PD photo of this? Dahn (talk) 23:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Their website says we can't. You can take photos if one pays 50 lei, but one can't use them for anything other than personal purposes. That's what they claim, but Paciurea died more than 70 years ago, so his sculpture is PD by now. bogdan (talk) 00:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I remember brushing into that absurd regulation when I noticed how one user was, shall we say, braving it (which, if you were to ask me, was a merit - just what legislation does that state museum think it is operating under?). Dahn (talk) 00:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, they claim a "taxă de fotografiere profesionişti: 2000 lei / oră" which is absurdly high. The Louvre allows anyone to take photographs for free.

BTW, I visited that museum last week and I was reprimated for doing something which a guard considered "obscene". (how do you dare kissing her? this is a museum!) :-) bogdan (talk) 00:40, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

What the guard did would only make sense if "her" was a painting or a sculpture. :) Dahn (talk) 00:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I think they have no statue of Galatea, but they do have a copy of Rodin's The Kiss. :-) bogdan (talk) 00:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

And speaking of ABP, you did a terrific job with that article! bogdan (talk) 00:53, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! It's all part of my hidden and subversive agenda. :D Dahn (talk) 01:06, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I knew it! You're part of the Great World Conspiracy! BTW, next time you meet your Grey extra-terrestrial overlords, can you please take a picture of them? The article severely lacks a good photo. :P bogdan (talk) 10:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you: you see, I don't work for those guys. I'm with these guys. :) Dahn (talk) 16:06, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Cristero War - Mexican Revolution

It seems that you insist that the Cristero War had its roots on the Mexican Revolution. Could you please give some evidence to this?

Edsonland (talk) 06:24, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Now I agree that the Cristero War might have had its roots on the policies that where implemented on the post-revolutionary period. It just however doesn't seem to me that it was actually a consequence of the revolution happening.
