Semi-protected edit request on 12 December 2024

[edit]

In the interest of keeping wikipedia unbiased, accuracy and avoiding false information please include in the intro the following: " Romania is a country under the neo-marxist influence, where every election cycle since 1989 to date human rights and democracy have been infringed upon with blatant disregard of Romanian people explicit vote" this is based on current evolution of the subject and can be verified from multiple sources.

Have Iohannis removed as president from the page

[edit]

His tenure is constitutionally over. Put Ciuca (who is president of the Senate) as interim president. CartofulMaro (talk) 22:06, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There would need to be a reliable source indicating that Ciuca is officially interim president and that Iohannis is not actually still holding power. A quick search on Google reveals power has not changed hands. Axedel (talk) 00:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then at least put "Vacant" at the president. Iohannis is no longer legally president. CartofulMaro (talk) 12:14, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
His mandate has been extended, the office is not Vacant. CMD (talk) 12:36, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The mandate cannot be extended unless it's a war or declared emergency state. None of these are applicable.
The mandate expired yesterday.
The position is Vacant. 170.52.81.244 (talk) 16:27, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia does not work that way. You have to WP:CITE WP:RS for your claims. tgeorgescu (talk) 18:27, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 8 January 2025

[edit]
  1. Have some organisation with the timelines of the formation of the state! Look how neat it is on Hungary's Wikipedia page, with their predecessor states and key historical changes! Take some inspiration! This is how the Formation of Romania should be set out.

Historical Romanian Principalities:

- Principality of Wallachia - 1330

- Principality of Moldavia - 1359

Little Union - 24 January 1859

Independent Kingdom - 25 March 1881

Great Union - 1 December 1918

Socialist Republic - 30 December 1947

Romanian Revolution - 16-30 December 1989

  1. The principalities should be listed under the subtile "Historical Romanian Principalities" due to the fact that the next event (Little Union) is a unification between the two principalities to form the modern Romanian state.
  2. The Romanian Revolution is a more noteworthy event since not only did it directly lead to the current constitution but it is still widely referenced in modern Romanian society today and is of unique significance since it was the only violent revolution to bring down a communist government in the Easter Bloc. Napoli0079 (talk) 19:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not done for now: Napoli0079 I'm closing this request simply because your suggestion would be a fairly significant overhaul of the article's History section and is unlikely to be acted upon by editors patrolling edit requests (and who may or may not be, but likely aren't, subject experts on Romania). I would recommend one of two approaches: either edit a few more times using your current account so you become autoconfirmed and can edit this semiprotected article, then boldly begin implementing your changes (making sure to hew closely to how reliable sources approach the structure of the nation's history), or enter into a discussion on this talk page regarding your proposed changes in order to come to a consensus with other editors about what changes should be made. Alternatively, you can open new edit requests, but I would recommend individual, smaller suggestions using a "Change X to Y" format and using reliable sources for your proposed changes.

Refining of Romanian History in inital page

[edit]

May I understand why people are opposing my edits, I know they're bold, but they're all correct and true and unbiased and can also be backed up with historical sources. Let me explain, - Climate in initial paragraph is archaic and isn't distinct (Even the Greek page doesn't mention climate in the opening paragraph) - The cities after Bucharest in the opening paragraph are the next four more POPULOUS so therefore are naturally more significant, I don't know who ordered them like they are now but it's always been unsatisfactory to me. - It feels putrid to undermine Romanian History like they do on this Wikipedia page, starting from 1859, really? Every country in Europe entails a brief history from the Middle Ages to the present, having Romania start from 1859 when it had not one but TWO medieval predecessors is shocking... and shows a lack of disrespect to the country, I feel my wording illustrates a better summary of it. - The formation page should also be changed, it's just sloppy, having independence listed from the Ottomans then immediately 4 years later a constitutional monarchy established is redundant, also the Romanian Revolution far outweighs any other event in modern Romanian history and DIRECTLY leads to the Constitution, so that should also be implemented.

Tell me how I'm wrong, because I've read the wikipedia criteria and all my edits abide by it. Napoli0079 (talk) 17:57, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My main concern is the huge history addition to the lead ,,,this is not a history of article. See Canada or Japan to see how much history is in the lead see also WP:COUNTRYLEAD. Moxy🍁 18:37, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I'll trim it down a little. Napoli0079 (talk) 18:40, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wikipedia articles needing factual verification from December 2024: anti-communist resistance was one of the most long-lasting in the Eastern Bloc.[169][verification needed]
  • Articles with failed verification from March 2024: According to the Council of Europe, the Roma makes up 8.32% of the population.[321][failed verification]

In addition, some claims and at least two entire paragraphs appear unsourced:

  • The charges for which they were executed were, among others, genocide by starvation.
  • Following the experience of economic instability ... communities in Italy, Germany, and Spain.
  • They are surrounded by the Moldavian and Transylvanian plateaus, the Pannonian Plain and the Wallachian plains.
  • Romania has also made clear since the late 1990s that it supports NATO and EU membership for the democratic former Soviet republics in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus.
  • Conscription stopped in 2007, when Romania switched to a volunteer army.
  • and has a prefect, a general mayor (primar general), and a general city council.
  • Romania's main exports ... single largest trading partners.
  • Metropolitan areas have been constituted for most of these cities.

Some sources appear (at least superficially) to be unreliable:

  • 263 heritage foundation
  • 265 & 281 statistica
  • 367 Petre et al (dubious MDPI journal)
  • 422 Bloodyelbow

It is also unclear to me whether Romania Insider is reliable.

I think this is a quickfail, at least by WP:GAFAIL #3 (valid cleanup banners) and probably #1 (not close to meeting GA sourcing criteria). It was not ready for GA nomination. I hope, though, that this review can provide guidance in what is needed for another GA review once these issues are dealt with.
