THIS IS AN ABUSE! Please STOP to eliminate the Quotations about Leonard Oprea's work!

[edit]

YES, dear Victoriagirl, I READ and I understood very well the Wikipedia's policies concerning self-published sources and Self-published and questionable sources in articles about themselves. Therefore, I have to tell you firmly: this book of Leonard Oprea is published in the USA by a POD Publishing House. I mean - a book published by a Publishing House, NOT by a self-publishing venture etc. More - these quotations BELONG to their authors, cultural American VIP beyond any doubt, NOT to some other people. And this you or anybody else can easily check up. Thus, if it will be necessary I will RE-introduce again and again these quotations and I am telling you again:




To: --Mihai -talk 07:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Mihai ! Thank you for your message. Thank you for the nice editing of my article regarding Leonard Oprea.

Concerning this matter : ( you wrote me: ) It wa good for you to try and popularise his works, but adding them into the Fine examples of Romanian literature I think it was too much …

Well, I’m not too young and I’m involved in it. You know well, ars longa,vita brevis. I used to be an editor , I have a Ph.D. in comparative literature and I did some literary translations in my life.

Therefore, according to the Wikipedia list of Fine examples of Romanian literature, but also it seems, according to your opinion, the Romanian literature almost died 35 years ago. I mean the literature of universal value.

Oh,my God! Dear Mihai, yes - the Wikipedia list of Fine examples of Romanian literature is a very good list of classical values. Yet, it is only, but only a high school list ( probably reminiscent in some ways of Ceausescu’s dictatorship era ). Please, no hard feelings. This is my opinion.

You know, God is very alive. Therefor, the Spirituality&Culture of any people are very alive. So, the Literature of any people is very alive. And times change eternally. Also - people, writers, hierarchies of values etc.

With all my respect, but I believe you have some preconceptions. My friendly advice for you: I think you should be reading more contemporary Romanian writers and leave behind you any preconception.

Concerning Leonard Oprea … Well, and it is not only my opinion, his novel The Straitjacket and also The Book of Theophil Magus or 40 Tales about Man are masterpieces. Forever.

Cheers, Yours sincerely, Judetadeus.


Hi, It's very nice of you to write a new article about a contemporary writer. try formating it into a more wikipedia standard like that used on Andrei Codrescu or Mircea Cărtărescu.

It wa good for you to try and popularise his works, but adding them into the Fine examples of Romanian literature I think it was too much.

Thank you. --Mihai -talk 07:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quotations about Leonard Oprea’s work

[edit]

Hello Judetadeus, concerning your last edit. In both my edit summaries and at Talk:Leonard Oprea I have pointed out the reason for the deletion of the 'Quotations about Leonard Oprea’s work' section. Judging from your last edit summary, it would appear that you've not yet read Wikipedia's policies concerning self-published sources and Self-published and questionable sources in articles about themselves, which I am citing here for the fourth time. I respectfully suggest that you familiarize yourself the policies. You may wish to read over the policy concerning the three revert rule, as well. Victoriagirl (talk) 22:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Judetadeus, I have responded to your post titled 'THIS IS AN ABUSE! Please STOP to eliminate the Quotations about Leonard Oprea's work!' at Talk:Leonard Oprea. Victoriagirl (talk) 04:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:3RR which you have broken with 4 reverts.[1] Note that edit warring can lead to being blocked with less than 3 reversions. Please also remember to sign in and use your user name to avoid the appearance of transgressing WP:SOCK. Per Wikipedia:TPG#Good_practice you should avoid writing in capitals, which is equivalent to shouting and hence not civil. Thanks. Tyrenius (talk) 05:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As virtually your sole interest in wikipedia related to Leonard Oprea, you should read WP:COI and WP:AUTO. It may be better to let other editors make content decisions. Tyrenius (talk) 05:54, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Victoriagirl and Dear Tyrenius,

  • Please, I re-read carfully the 3RR. And, it is questionable if you are right concerning my possible violations of the 3RR. But, if you consider that I overreacted - O.K., I'm sorry.
  • On the other hand - yes, AuthorHouse is the former 1stLibrary Books. Yet, this is a POD Publishing House, not at all, I'm saying crystal-clear, not at all a self-publishing venture. With a POD Publishing House the author must respect the editorial international rules and, despite the fact that he pays some money for the editing&marketing of the book, the rest is the classic way to publish a book and make it available on the market. So, it is a pretty big difference between a self-publishing venture and a POD Publishing House. For example, the oldest POD Publishing House in the USA is Xlibris... a strategic partner of Random House Ventures. Therefore, may I ask: is Random House not credible for you Victoriagirl or for anyone from Wikipedia?
  • Last but not least, all your explanations concernig your checking up of these quotations are a totally false argumentation. How do you question cultural American VIPs like Vladimir Tismaneanu (see on English Wikipedia), Norman Manea (see on English Wikipedia), Adam J.Sorkin (see on English Wikipedia) and Andrei Codrescu (see on English Wikipedia) - who are American universitary professors and public persons? They can be contacted to verifiy if they wrote and agreed to publish these blurbs or not.
  • Concerning your research to check up on amazon.com the existence of Andrei Codrescu's quote about the literature of Leonard Oprea, well, you missed this reader's review (quote from amazon.com): / *****/ 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: A marvelous book � this unique vision !, November 17, 2003. I repeat you can find it easily among the 9 reader reviews of the book of Leonard Oprea. Regarding your research on Romanian Wikipedia, sorry, but you did it superficially as well.
  • My final conclusion: Dear Wikipedia specialists & cultural friends - please, do not eliminate again the quotations. Please, find a solution to keep them in the article. I am just an old professor who loves great books and great authors; I am not a computer geek. When I introduced this article 4 years ago I did it because I considered Wikipedia being the library of the future and a huge opportunity to transform culture in a living source accessible to everyone. The rest is silence, said Hamlet. God forgive us.--Judetadeus (talk) 17:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nota Bene: Wikipedia Good references and Quotations issue

[edit]

Dear Victoriagirl and Dear Tyrenius,

Therefor, my question: what is wrong with these Quotations?!! They are on a published book backcover (nota bene: not on a self-published book! ), they are on amazon.com and other authorized web sites... Anytime you can ask their well-known cultural American VIP authors, as I wrote you already... So, for God's sake: what is wrong?!! How should I consider this?!... Please, re-read: Good references: A reference must be accurate, i.e. it must prove the statement in the text. To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. You have to link to a source that proves his achievement is true. You must use reliable sources, such as published books, mainstream press, authorised web sites, and official documents. Blogs, Myspace, Youtube, fan sites and extreme minority texts are not usually acceptable, nor is original research, e.g. your own unpublished, or self-published, essay or research.

  • My final conclusion: Dear Wikipedia specialists & cultural friends - please, do not eliminate again the quotations. Please, find a solution to keep them in the article. I am just an old professor who loves great books and great authors; I am not a computer geek. When I introduced this article 4 years ago I did it because I considered Wikipedia being the library of the future and a huge opportunity to transform culture in a living source accessible to everyone. The rest is silence, said Hamlet. God forgive us.--Judetadeus (talk) 18:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed Wikipedia is "the library of the future and a huge opportunity to transform culture in a living source accessible to everyone." You are welcome to contribute to that, but so far your only contributions have been about yourself, which, with all due respect, is likely to create a somewhat limited library. Tyrenius (talk) 21:33, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Repeat request

[edit]

As above, please see Talk:Leonard_Oprea#Quotations and continue on the article talk page. Tyrenius (talk) 19:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Judetadeus, given that your last two posts relate specifically Leonard Oprea and respond to points raised on the discussion page, I respectfully suggest that the latter is the appropriate place in which to engage in a dialogue. In the interests of clarity, I recommend that you provide copies of the two posts at Talk:Leonard Oprea. Victoriagirl (talk) 19:07, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep the talk on the article talk page and don't do multiple posts of the same material in different places (like my talk page) which only confuses the issue. Tyrenius (talk) 20:57, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Or my user page.[2] Post to users on their talk pages. Thank you. Tyrenius (talk) 21:30, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warning! En Wikipedia anti-Romanian aggressions / message to International mass-media&Internet

[edit]

Date: Jan 2, 2008 3:33 PM Subject: Warning ! En Wikipedia anti-Romanian aggressions / message to International mass-media&Internet To: arbcom-l@lists.wkimedia.org, info-en-q@wikimedia.org

Enough is enough: Please stop to ask: "citation needed" for "Leonard Oprea" article concerning: "…anti-communist dissident in Romania…" and "…officially forbade the publications of his writings, considering them subversive…" You had already the necessary and authorized "needed" citations (see the article and see the below excerpt). Leonard Oprea was an anti-communist dissident in Romania and two of his books were officially banned by Ceausescu's communist dictatorship. According to the many distinguished Romanian critics, today Leonard Oprea is a very important Romanian writer. This English Wikipedia board attitude could be considered an English Wikipedia anti-Romanian cultural discrimination and a pro-communist attack against Leonard Oprea. And this kind of attitude could be the subject to the Romanian mass-media and, to the international mass-media as well. Certainly, through Internet this subject could be spread worldwide. On the other side, please stop to "clean up" arbitrary and using methodically only the elimination way regarding the Leonard Oprea article ( like was the last editing which eliminated the "contents", eliminated the "citations needed", eliminated the "external" links and created an un-professional lay-out of the article). Thank you.

Excerpt: ,,Leonard Oprea was an anti-communist dissident[1] in Romania during Nicolae Ceauşescu's dictatorship. Between 1980 and 1987 he published a book and several short stories, which were honored with national literary prizes. After 1987, the Securitate (the secret police of the Communist regime), officially forbade[2] the publication of his writings, considering them subversive[3]. ________________________________ [edit] citations needed [1], [2], [3] - from authorized sources information:
