GPL vs GFDL
I noticed that you have uploaded some pictures under the GPL, and I believe I have heard that the GPL is not compatible with the GFDL. Did you confuse the two or did you really mean the GPL? Thanks, Dori | Talk 00:31, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
- it comes down to whether an image and a page are interpreted as a single dervitive works or "mere aggregation" the same basic issues exist with creative commons licenses and for this reason those uploading thier own images are strongly encouraged to use the gfdl (multiple licenseing is ok of course) Plugwash 02:04, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I meant GFDL, but it seems that I tagged some of my older pictures as GPL. :) Bogdan | Talk 15:17, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Great image! (and I agree it must be PD after 3400 years). But do you maybe have a source? I would like to know which tablet it is, or at least from where the photograph is taken. cheers,

Sibiu article
hi there Bogdan, how should the copyvio situation regarding Sibiu article be solved ? Criztu 16:14, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi. You've helped with the
Question
Hey, Bogdan. Are you online. I want to ask you if you know where to contact some exceptional Romanian linguists with some extra time on their hands. Hey, my ideas seem pretty wild, but then again.(Decius)
Thanks Bogdan. Decius 00:03, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
You say that you are in Bucharest. I notice Sorin Olteanu is also in Bucharest. Since every time I email him his email doesn't work, I was wondering if you could try to email him for me, and tell him if he has time to read parts of the discussion page for the List of Dacian Words article, because 'Decius' invites him and would like his opinion. Thanks, if possible. Decius 06:41, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
His email is [email protected] Decius 00:32, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I don't know why should the email work for me, from here, in Bucharest and not for you. Bogdan | Talk 19:15, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Then I guess his email doesn't work. I wanted to make sure it isn't my connection being the problem.Decius 23:21, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Romanian Black Sea resorts
Bogdan, thanks a lot for adding the template to Olimp and Co (I couldn't figure how to do it...) As for the list itself, my preference would be Mamaia, Eforie Nord, Eforie Sud, Costinesti, Olimp, Neptun, Jupiter, (maybe Cap Aurora), Venus, Saturn, 2 Mai, Vama Veche, since these are the "traditional" summer destinations. In other words, I would leave Mangalia out (like Constanta). On a different topic, is this page the proper place to speak Romanian, or you have another page for that? Thanks, Dmaftei 19:05, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

Hi,
It's a very useful image. I notice though, that the concentric circles are centered at the northern tip of Sumatra. Is it possible to make them centered around the actual epicenter of the earthquake? -- Curps 11:35, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Earthquake_20041226_location_detail.png)
- I also believe the location is incorrect on your map.
- The epicenter is 160 miles west of Sumatra. I've reposted the location detail from the article in the image to the right.
- Also, before I copy this into the commons, is this image entirely built from public domain or GFDL imagery? If it is derived in any way from copyrighted images, I can't post it on the Commons.
- Thanks for such a timely map!
- Regards,

Hi Bogdan, can you please colour the western part of Malaysia (Sarawak) as the map indicates that that area wasn't a part of the country. Thanks. =) --Andylkl 14:49, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

FYI: An anon user reverted your map back to the last "Burma" version. I don't know how to un-revert it to "Myanmar", or I'd do it myself. Tverbeek 01:39, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi, nice job on the map. Good enough, in fact, that it's been picked up by Radio Free Asia to use in an article about the earthquake on their website [3]. Thought you might be interested to know that your work is getting picked up by other media. --Michael Snow 01:34, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- As long as we're discussing additional uses of your map, I noticed that Radio Free Asia has changed "Myanmar" to "Burma" (the typeface is slightly different). Is there a strong consensus one way or the other? I switched the map in the earthquake story on Wikinews to the "Myanmar" version, per comments here on Wikipedia that it was the recognized U.N. name, but now that I see Radio Free Asia using "Burma" I'm wondering if we are mistaken? — DV 07:00, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Like the people above, I found you through your earthquake map. It's quite nice, although the circumstances of its creation are tragic.
Anyway, I looked at your user page to see if you had done any other maps, which lead me to User:Bogdangiusca/Foto. When I got there, it was all lined up down the right side of the page and the headings were all off, so I... er... reformatted it. It's now using the new <gallery> tag. I hope you don't mind. -- Cyrius|✎ 20:50, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I didn't write that paragraph in the Thracian language article: it was there before I made my first contribution to that page. If you're going to accuse, first make sure, that's why the History pages are there. Decius 03:26, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Opening the file
I'm kind of embarassed to ask this, but to put it bluntly I don't know too much about computers. I downloaded that Sorin Paliga file but I can't figure out what program to open it with. If you're still there, and if it's not too much of an explanation, I was wondering if you could tell me how to open the files so I can read them. When it comes to computers, I'm pretty much a caveman in the stone age.Decius 16:39, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- They are compressed with zip, so, you should first extract them with a program such as WinZip (you can get it from here if you don't have it installed), then open the PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader (you can get it from here, if you don't have it installed.

Thanks for your change to
- "Agia" means "Saint" in Greek, so I think it would be better placed at Saint Paraskeva. This appears to be the term used in English by the Orthodox Christians [4]
Incidentally do you know what the technical term (in Greek or Romanian) is for those little metal votive plates? -- RHaworth 18:37, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)

The File has Opened
Alright, I finally got to open the file 20 minutes ago, and I read some of it, and I like what I see: Paliga comes to some of the same conclusions that I came to independently: 'abur' possibly being derived from 'apa'(though I also have a second option); 'balaur' being from 'bhel-', though this one was already known by others before; and so on. I've seen some stuff I disagree with (I think many of my interpretations are better for instance), but overall it looks great, and he's doing good work: there is hope for the revision of Romanian linguistics. I also see that some obvious connections were missed: 'baiat' is still a mystery to him, but I've clearly found the cognate for that. Anyway, thanks again. Decius 22:55, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I also see that he also noticed that Dusman is obviously NOT from turkish, but from IE, and he cites the anc. Greek word 'Dusmenes' with the exact same meaning, as I did independently: yet he beleives the word is not from Greek. In my opinion, it's more likely from Greek, but was borrowed in Dacian times. In 20 years, you won't be seeing any Romanian dictionaries saying this word is necessarily from "turkish". I've only read parts of the file so far. Decius 23:35, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Tnx for your corrections to the names. As I expanded the article and added few more names, I thought you may want to read it again, perhaps fix some more names, add ilinks, etc. I will be moving to 1620-1630 decade soon. Oh, and pehaps the section on
maps
I have seen your vector-based map of Dacia, and I was wondering if you have similar images for larger areas; specifically maps of Europe with the major rivers that could be used as a basis for maps like
