The Romanian language Wikipedia (Romanian: Wikipedia în limba română ) is the edition of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia in Romanian .
It was founded in July 2003 and had around 380,000 articles at the beginning of 2018. In December 2004 the users of the Romanian language Wikipedia organized themselves by founding an association, the Asociația Wikimedia România .
history
The first articles in the Romanian language Wikipedia were written in July 2003, the first version of the main page was drafted on July 12, 2003. The user interface, which was initially in English, was translated into Romanian by Bogdan Stăncescu, who was registered under the username Gutza, when he received sysop rights. The same user subsequently contacted some Romanian universities that offered contact via the Internet and the Romanian Academy to attract new users. His efforts were soon noticed by the Romanian media, who invited him on various occasions to present the project to the public. By the end of 2003, the Romanian language Wikipedia had exceeded 3,000 articles and was 16th among all Wikipedia language versions. The 10,000th article was written on December 13, 2004 and the 50,000th on January 5, 2007.
In April 2004 the Romanian language Wikipedia supported the establishment of the Aromanian language Wikipedia (see also Aromanian language ).
Initially, the Romanian-language Wikipedia had problems with its demarcation through the creation of a Moldovan-language Wikipedia (see also Moldovan language ). A Moldovan language version of Wikipedia exists because it was automatically created together with a large number of other Wikipedia language versions, because the language was assigned a separate ISO-639 code ( mo / mol ), which the ISO withdrew in November 2008 has been.
At its beginning, the moldauischsprachige Wikipedia was only a portal that led to the Romanian language Wikipedia, but it was actually approved the creation of articles, even though it was intended only for the Moldovan Sprachie in Cyrillic, because this was before 1989 in the Moldavian SSR uses . Great editwars and endless discussions relax. From 2006, the Moldovan-language Wikipedia was write-protected and editing was no longer permitted after the Wikipedia users voted to close this language version. The question of the continuation of the Moldovan-language Wikipedia nevertheless arises from time to time.
In 2007, renegade Romanian-speaking Wikipedians founded another Romanian-language online encyclopedia, the Enciclopedia României .
The Romanian language Wikipedia reached the milestone of the 100,000th article on January 11, 2008. There were more than 45,000 registered users, 20 of whom were administrators.
In the last quarter of 2009, the number of hits on the English-language Wikipedia in Romania was twice the number of hits on the Romanian-language Wikipedia, and in 2010 the Romanian-language Wikipedia was ranked 10th in terms of the quality of its content.
In April 2011 there were 158,000 articles in the Romanian language Wikipedia.
The most controversial article on the Romanian-language Wikipedia was an article on the football club Universitatea Craiova , according to an investigation by the University of Oxford in 2013 .
particularities
The logo of the Romanian language Wikipedia used to differ slightly from the logos of the other Wikipedia language versions. The letter И in the logo has been replaced by the Romanian letter Ă (A with Breve ) in order to further adapt Wikipedia to its local readership.
Articles can contain spelling variants, mostly in subject to the letters â and î , both of which stand for the unrounded closed central vowel / ɨ / (see Romanian alphabet ). According to the spelling rules introduced by the Romanian Academy in 1993, / ɨ / is written either as î when it is used as the first or last letter of a word, or as â when it occurs in the middle of the word, where es there are some exceptions. Between 1953 and 1993, Romanian spelling only used î , with an exception being allowed in 1964 for derivatives of the word România ("Romania"), român ("Romanian") and related words. The academy rules are binding for government organizations and in state schools in Romania. The Republic of Moldova adopted the Latin alphabet for the Romanian language in 1993 before the spelling reform of 1993, but did not adopt the new spelling until 2001 and only used the letter î before that (exceptions were made for România and other related words that start with â ). In practice, both uses are accepted in both countries and in fact publishers and magazines use either one or the other or both of the rules. The Vojvodina uses the new Romanian spelling. Other spelling differences include sunt / sînt or niciun / nici un . The Romanian-speaking Wikipedia community allows both spelling before 1993 and spelling after 1993. Editing an article to change it from one standard to the other is considered unacceptable. However, conversion to another standard is permitted if the article is significantly expanded or rewritten.
The Romanian language Wikipedia uses the politeness forms of personal pronouns and verbs as salutation. A related regulation was discussed in early 2006 and a consensus was reached that dumneavoastră (the polite "you") should be used on their pages instead of tu (the familiar "you").
