Where I does the magic

This user declares his annoyance at browsing through articles initiated by US or UK users which fail to mention that the theme has to do with one of the two countries (arguably because they assume that English language wiki means "English/American wiki").

Puttees

Dunno about puttees, Soviet soldiers had worn them too (Russian ones still do, AFAIK)...

The poster reads: "Remember (about) Bessarabia!"
"In the 10 years of the bloody occupation of Bessarabia (a list of unspeakable evil deeds most certainly follows)"
(vertical) "Hands of Romanian invaders away from Bessarabia!" (the sentence is a bit malformed in Russian, it either addresses the Romanian invaders ("get your hands off!") or someone else who should do it ("let's get their hands off...!"))
The star below probably lists the MASSR achievements in the same 10 years.

PS: Note the swastika.

On Goma: no need for translations that was sufficient. What's the other controvercy? The commission on Communism? --Illythr 23:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Puttees: They were (and probably still are) standard issue in the Soviet (Russian) army. At that time, they were standard for all the world's armies, I'd wager.

Swastika: Well, MASSR was founded in 1924. +10 years makes the poster's year 1934...

Commission: But they did condemn Communism... Why were the far rightists unhappy? --Illythr 00:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Joseph Nasi

Thank you for getting in touch. The note I made and subsequently incorporated didnt have full details; I intended to put in the other details later. Anyway here is the complete reference: The Venetian Empire, by Jan Morris; Penguin Books; London, 1980. I originally had the hardback, but in the paperback edition it seems the relevant page is 102. There is an interesting amount of information about Nasi as a rival of Venice in the Aegean; remarkably, the treaty between Venice and the Ottoman Empire that confirmed the cession of Cyprus to the Turks was signed by one of his associates, also Jewish.

Culianu & mysticism

Salut! Culianu avait l'air d'être un personnage intéressant... pas grand chose à voir - quoique...-, mais tu connais Alejandro Jodorowsky? En tout cas, "democatholic" semble être un néologisme, en français ça fait bizarre, on dirait plutôt démocrate chrétien, "démocrate catho" ça fait étrange (voire même oxymorique ! - on a plutôt tendance à dire "réac catho" !) Si c'est effectivement en référence au contexte français (probablement d'un point de vue extérieur) ça peut vouloir indiquer le ralliement d'une partie des catholiques à la Troisième République vers 1900, sur les traces d'Adolphe Thiers et autres Orléanistes. Grosso modo les cathos votent à droite, et la droite a longtemps été anti-républicaine, comme tu le sais... Quoi qu'il en soit, l'inventeur du terme "democatho" a probablement voulu souligner le fait qu'il ne s'agissait pas de protestants ou d'orthodoxes, et cela n'a guère de sens en France, où le vote protestant & autres (si ça existe encore) est plutôt à gauche — c'est comme cet usage anglais d'écrire "Roman Catholic Church" au lieu de simplement "Catholic Church" ou même "Church" tout court. Sinon, il y a l'air d'avoir une tendance confirmée en Roumanie de spiritualisme et de mysticisme que je ne connaissais pas, ça tend à valider une partie des thèses de Zeev Sternhell qui n'a pas hésité à traiter le personnalisme d'Emmanuel Mounier comme précurseur du fascisme, bien que cela s'apparente en réalité bien plus à un existentialisme ou/et humanisme chrétien, pas très différent à vrai dire ni de Alain ni de Sartre (du premier Sartre en tout cas). Un mélange de cette tradition de l'occulte avec les thèses racialistes d'un Xenopol donnent en effet le cocktail du nazisme, positivisme + spiritualisme, vraiment étrange... Je ne sais pas si l'Huma exagère toujours autant, mais lire leurs articles pendant la Révolution roumaine doit être quelque chose - mais cela vaut pour l'ensemble de la représentation médiatique de cet événement, malheureusement... Il est clair que ces règlements d'appart sur la Côte d'azur n'étaient officiellement pas appliqué, prétexte paradoxal de leur maintien. Dans un autre registre, on vient de s'apercevoir qu'une loi datant de Napoléon interdisait aux femmes le port du pantalon ! Connaissant, néanmoins, les pratiques de discrimination raciale en vigueur dans diverses agences d'immobilier, ainsi que la popularité des thèses racistes dans le sud, je n'assurerai pas qu'ils n'étaient vraiment jamais appliqué, ces fameux règlements vichystes... A + ! Tazmaniacs

Quick request

Hello - could you, when you have a moment, take a look at Iosif Chişinevschi? I had a question on the talk page, which I tried to answer in footnote 1, but perhaps you can confirm or modify my explanation. Biruitorul 12:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

VT on p. 159 of the English edition does say, "Chişinevschi had personal connections in the Soviet secret police, as an agent of which he infiltrated upper ranks of the Romanian communist hierarchy." However, do take your time - it's not urgent.

Yes, very disruptive and should be reverted on sight. If you're facing 3RR issues, let me know and I'll help. Anyway, I suspect some of these individuals are due for banishment from here. Biruitorul 12:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Old Church Slavonic

I think I remember you suggesting such a Misplaced Pages with pre-1917 reform rules before... Well, there it is! :-D --Illythr 14:13, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Awwww... :'-( --Illythr 15:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've decided not to block you for breaching our Three revert rule policy today, instead preferring to protect the page whilst you and Icar (along with all other interested users) come to an agreement over the content, preferably by using the articles talk page. If you persist in reverting more than 3 times in any 24 hour period following this warning, I will have no hesitation in blocking you in future. -- Nick 14:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm willing to help you both, if you want to.--HIZKIAH (User  Talk) 14:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I reported you --HIZKIAH (User  Talk) 15:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Alas, I was away while protection occurred. Cine pleacă la plimbare, pierde locul de onoare, at least temporarily. Biruitorul 15:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, done. Biruitorul 17:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

It's good to let your ego be punctured once in a while. Most of us, after several years and tens of thousands of edits, start to put a lot of our egos into our work here, more than we originally either intended or anticipated. While it's natural for this to happen, the unintended consequences include feelings of ownership over one's contributions and a quickness to react in poor faith, and even with arrogance. Someone reverted your edits with a sarcastic edit summary? Let it go. Someone called you a bad name somewhere? Don't retaliate. Let it go. While it hurts at first to let these things go, being able to do so is the true test of strength and maturity. You only gain in the long run. Retaliating not only brings you discredit, but it increases your anger, and corresponding risk of over-reaction, as the number of related provocations rises. --HIZKIAH (User  Talk) 17:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I am not having this conversation, HIZKIAH. You have simply reverted several articles to vandalized versions, so all of this coaching is out of place. Dahn 17:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages's worst enemies are those whose vanity has been wounded. They may be moderately notable people, such as Daniel Brandt, who failed to control the article on himself; or they may be people who worked hard on an article which was deleted by the community; or they may be people who attempted to push a POV which was rejected by the community. Usually they invoke a higher moral principle in support of their campaign against the project, such as censorship, free speech, conspiracy against them, or whatnot, as their own vanity prevents them from recognizing that vanity itself is the source of their displeasure. --HIZKIAH (User  Talk) 17:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I repeat: none of that has any relevancy to a situation where somebody erases scholarly sources on they basis that they "have been used to much". You may continue to talk about ego and whatnot, but that weighs nothing on this very simple issue. Dahn 17:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I suggest you an Adaptive behavior which is a type of behavior that is used to adapt to another type of behavior or situation. This is often characterised by a behavior that allows an individual to substitute an unconstructive or disruptive behavior to something more constructive. These behaviors are most often social or personal behaviors. For example a constant repetitive action could be re-focused on something that creates or builds something. In other words the behavior can be adapted to something else. I try to help you, if I fail ...I hope not. --HIZKIAH (User  Talk) 17:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I do not answer to straw men. I see no relevancy for this type of messages on my talk page, so if you continue to discuss my psychology or whatnot, I will simply remove your future posts from this page. Dahn 17:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Racovschi

Firstly, I will look for that image and scan it. It can be found in Trotskys Balkan War correspondence. Secondly, I have his work "Republica Federativa Balcanica" in Romanian lying around somewhere as a collection of images photographed of a photocopy. If you want these I'll render them to you aswell (I am about half way through translating it into English).

About the anti-Semitic stuff, it is quite sad. There isn't much that can be done but wait and hope more fair minded users turn up. Although, scandal has in the past served to bring other Wikipedias more in line. I believe they had a significant problem on the Serbian Misplaced Pages and Jimbo intervened. But I don't remember the exact details. If you come across any other articles let me know. - Francis Tyers · 16:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
