Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Recognition of same-sex unions in Romania may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Not alt

I have taken the liberty of removing the {{publicuser}} tags you applied to user talk:Mr. Straub and User:Mr. Straub/hang14/. The publicuser tag is used to indicate that a user operates more than one account, ie. a different user name. As far as I know Mr. Straub has only one account - do you know different? User:Mr. Straub/hang14/ is simply a perfectly normal user subpage. I see no reason for any notice at the top of the page over and above the present "Back off!" notice. Do you agree? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 03:36, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

So, I guess the Right Honorable Gentleman was mistaken about Mr. Staub having multiple accounts. -- Keshetsven (talk) 01:54, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I was mistaken but it is still the case that the tags you applied were totally inappropriate. User:Mr. Straub/hang14/ did not need a tag and the tag you applied to User talk:Mr. Straub did not state his other account. User:David Straub contains a perfectly acceptable declaration of his other account and the symmetrical message that I added at User:Mr. Straub#Personal account completes the declaration. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 02:13, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

In regards to your note on User:Biruitorul‎, please note that 'vandalism' in Wikipedia does not apply to content disputes. Wikipedia:Vandalism provides more detail. --Soman (talk) 03:08, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Re:Siguranta

As a contributor to the English language Wikipedia, I consider it a matter of politeness to discuss any matters in English. Siguranta was created in 1908 as "Direcția Poliției și Siguranței Generale". Some decades later, apparently in 1924, the name indeed changed to "Serviciul Secret de Informații", only to be changed again in 1940. The communists, the main target of the Siguranta in the interwar period, made a point of not using "siguranta" or a derivative in the title of any secret service, choosing instead a synonym, "securitate" (for the English speakers, both words translate as "security"). A Google book search shows that the name "Siguranta" is commonly used by English language scholars to refer to the service throughout its existence (1908-1948).Anonimu (talk) 15:38, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Citing a Google search is a big bluff and has no standing. Also, you should have known that regime change has nothing to do with a mare synonym; Siguranța Statului is indeed the commonly known name (and referred to) for the Romanian Secret Service during the interwar period. But you should also acknowledge that it hold different names during different periods of time. --Keshetsven (talk) 16:33, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm not citing Google search, I'm just indicating a list of sources, most of which fit WP's definition of reliable sources. And Google Book Search has for a long time been used on WP as a raw indicator for scholarly usage of terms. And as you acknowledge yourself, "Siguranta" is the common name for the subject, and should therefore be used as the title of the article, per our naming policy. Furthermore, the various official names (both the English translation and the Romanian originals) are dully noted (and made bold) in the article's lead, informing the user about the name changes.Anonimu (talk) 17:44, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Guccifer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Romanian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

July 2016

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Barnevernet into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

  The move was to Bodnariu case on 15 February 2016‎. This message is merely to inform you of the need for attribution. 220 of ^Borg 07:31, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Move of Barnevernet

I have suggested to move Barnevernet to The Norwegian Child Welfare Services (because the latter is the official English name of the services, and this is English Wikipedia). Now I realised from the article's revision history that you have moved the article in the opposite direction some months ago. If you disagree in the move I have suggested, please explain your reasons on the article's talk page. Best wishes, Hanno (talk) 06:08, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Bodnariu case for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bodnariu case is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bodnariu case until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Hanno (talk) 19:51, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
