- This article is supposed to refer to the folklore of Romania, yet it looks like someone typed a passage on Romanian culture and famous people. Also, this article should have links to more relevant folklore aside from vampires and werewolves. - This article is supposed to refer to the folklore of Romania, yet it looks like someone typed a passage on Romanian culture and famous people.

First and foremost, Manole was not a "craftsman" and apparently the title of that legend is translated into english word for word without any deep thinking done. He was a builder / arhitect and that is what the whole tale is about. To quote from the legend "we was better than all the other 9, nine of the best" ("Noua mesteri mari / cu Manoli zece / care-i si intrece")
I propose calling the tale just "Manole" in English to avoid any possible confusion.
Also, I fail to see any major refferences to Romanian traditional music (wheras in other similar articles this section is covered well)
To end with, I believe that the whole section about Romanian genesis legends should be broken off into its own article, because this article should be more general about folklore, not so specific. I see this article being more of a page filled with links to the relevant articles.
I myself am a little bit busy these next few weeks/months, but if the articles remains the same, I guess I'll end up rewriting it (and I'm not to very confident in my article writing skills). ] (]) 09:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
