User talk:Andrei Stroe/Ion Luca Caragiale

Hi, Andrei. I was wandering about, and found that you were doing this (I suppose it is translation from the Romanian article). Recently, I proposed User:Turgidson and User:Biruitorul to join me in a common project to enlarge the enwiki article on Caragiale, going beyond the rowiki article - in fact, i proposed starting it from scratch. This is mainly because, even though the rowiki article is FA, it is incorrectly so (it is virtually unsourced, it lacks even basic info on a lot of crucial issues, and it was partly copied from unspecified sources). The opportunity for expansion is immense, and the reliable sources abound (I can tap into about six of them) - meaning that, as complex as the subject is, it can eventually go FA here, through its own devices. This also means that the various statements it makes will need to be checked against sources, and only kept if they comply with them or are trivial.

I got a positive response from both users (albeit they are not active at the moment), and am now asking you if you would like to join in as well. I am asking you this not only because I want to spare us all the effort of doing the same thing at the same time, but also because I fully respect you as an editor, and I am glad we both take an interest in this (the more, the merrier). We were going to sandbox the article somewhere - we could do it anywhere, but, in case you're interested in this project, we could do it here. Thank you, and looking forward to a reply.
