"that Timişoara, a city in western Romania, was the first European city to have electric streetlights?" In 1884 Timisoara -Temesvár- was a hungarian city. Not romanian-hungarian. 80.98.112.210 22:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is in Romania now, and I believe that is what the sentence refers to. TSO1D 22:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think so that remarks about Timisoara would take place in Portal:Romania; but remarks about Temesvár (when it was not Timisoara) would take place at Portal:Hungary. These are two different countries (even then it's Romania now). ♥♥♥: Gubb ✍ 2006. July 5 12:55 (CEST) 12:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

actually if it was in 1884, it would belong on Portal:Austria-Hungary, but that one seems pretty abandoned... – Alensha [[Usectober 2006 (UTC)

Expand/cleanup

Bine Bozgore ca asa gindesti, rar invata rominesta intai si apoi istoria romaniei si istoria lumii, si apoi da lectii de istorie la copii tai, pina atunci pofo be

An article about the Teleki library was submitted today by a new Wikipedia editor. I categorized it and tried to improve the context, but I just don't know enough. I thought I'd drop a line here and see if anyone's interested in expanding and improving it. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 19:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Damian Radu —Preceding undated comment added 14:00, 21 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Did you know section

Did you know [...] "...that Romanian is the second-spoken language at Microsoft"

I will remove this entry. Please be prepared with evidence before reinstating it, since it sounds ridiculous. And furthermore, "at Microsoft" is very vague... where at Microsoft? In their Redmond HQ, or their Bucharest office, or perhaps their Beijing office??. Bogdantudor (talk) 04:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

en.wiki vs. ro.wiki

Observ ca articolele de aici, in special cele despre romani/Romania, sunt mai bune decat versiunile lor in limba romana. De ce romanii care contribuie aici nu o fac si la wikipedia in romana?! Observ ca wikipedia in romana este mai saraca in continut, dar si in calitate, fata de versiunea engleza. Deasemenea articolele bune din versiunea in romana sunt mai mult traduse din versiunea in engleza. De ce nu exista mai mult interes, si mai profesionit, pentru dezvoltarea wikipediei in romana? --5.12.134.86 (talk) 08:04, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notice from the Portals WikiProject

WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:43, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Place of the week removed

I removed the Place of the week entry on the portal page. There was only one entry, for Timișoara, which is now used in the Selected article section. Below is the wiki-markup that was removed. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:50, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trilulilu

According to its article, Trilulilu is the biggest user-generated content website in Romania. About two weeks ago, on 21 March, an IP editor marked the website as being inactive. I do not live in Romania, but for me, the website still appears inactive. It displays the message "Am plecat să ne jucăm. Revenim în curând" which Google Translate translates to "We went to play. We'll be back soon". Going by the article, its official blog website is Crocodilu.ro, which appears to be down. This all makes me wonder, what's going on with Trilulilu. Does anyone, maybe an editor from Romania, know if there's a reliable source that discusses it being inactive, and perhaps even why? --143.176.30.65 (talk) 12:33, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I'm a Romanian editor, and I can confirm that the website Trilulilu was a content website in the late 2000s in Romania. It recently got changed to a children's entertainment website, similar to the YouTube Kids app. I could not find any quotations to signal upon the fact as to why it wasn't active during that time, but most information which was found on the marked quotation given is correct. It got bought by a different corporation, Digitap Entertainment SRL^[1]. -- cherish1012 (talk) 14:58, 9 October 2021 (UTC+2)
