Talk:History of Romania

Daco-Romanian continuity reflected in this article

The lead section of this article, and the layout of the initial four sections, seems to imply that Daco-Romanian continuity is a fact, whereas that article says that it's one of several valid theories. Even this article states "Roman conquest of Dacia stands at the base of the origin of Romanians." at a later point, so it stands to reason that the article should not have separate "Prehistory" and "Dacia" sections, but rather a single section that would explain this in a more neutral manner. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:13, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Also, it looks like the main article for the topic, now a redirect Prehistory of Romania, possibly renamed to Early history of Romania, History of Romania before the Romanians or similar, should be created in order to expand on the topic, which would go a long way in being able to reduce the amount of chatter in the top part of Template:History of Romania. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:20, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

First mention on Romanians

Taking into account that the subject of the article is the History of Romania, do we need to dedicate a long section to random references to the Vlachs living anywhere in Southeastern Europe? A major problem that the section contains fringe theories (not mentioned in academic works about the history of Romania), like the alleged Hellenic chronicle and its Vlachs. The section also presents PoVs as facts, associating obscure populations mentioned in early medieval Muslim writers as living somewhere between the Mediterranean and the Ural Mountains as Vlachs. Why do we need to know in an article about the history of Romanian that Blachernae in Constantinople may have been named for the Vlachs? This piece of information is not mentioned in standard literature about Romania's history. I think 90% of the section should be deleted and the rest could be integrated in other sections. Borsoka (talk) 05:03, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

As always, you are right. Romanian historiography is a mishmash of semi-facts, legends, and wishful assumptions. 2001:4C4E:2480:FE00:5ABE:E53B:683E:DA1A (talk) 09:41, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

English variant change

Special:Diff/1279590391 and the subsequent edit improperly changed the English variant of this article against MOS:RETAIN. The sockpuppet even altered the spelling of a citation, a direct quotation, and several organization names. The article was predominantly written in American English prior to those edits. As evidence there was an identifiable variety, here are some word counts prior to the edits: center (8), centre/centres (2 in prose, 1 in a citation), defense/defenses (5), defence (1 in a citation), favor/favorable/favored/unfavorable (10), favour (0), honor/honorary (2), honour (2 in the same citation). I have undone the spelling changes and updated the template to Template:Tlx. The prose additions have been edited too much by other editors and their date format fixes were appropriate so I've left those intact, but I did fix the spelling of a few added words for consistency. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:29, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

After the main "undo" edit, I found 4 more words I needed to change. Note that's 4 words in comparison to roughly 36 words changed by the sockpuppet contrary to MOS:RETAIN. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:02, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
