message: The oldest institution of higher education in Bucharest is St Sava National College. The college was created in 1694 following Constantin Cantacuzino's initiative, under the name of the Royal Academy. Classes were taught in Latin and Greek, later expanded to Italian and French and then the sciences. It subsequently became one of the most respected high schools in Bucharest. During communism, its name was changed to Nicolae Balcescu High School. Following the anti-communist revolution of December 1989, the high school was renamed St Sava National College. 
: Its name was actually Academia Domnească Sf Sava - "Royal Academy Sf. Sava". The University of Iaşi was the first higher education institution to be organised as a University. IulianU 15:16, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

message: "The inscription by which the existence of a Jassiorum municipium in the time of the Roman Empire is sought to be proved, lies open to grave suspicion."
This is an intriguing statement, so I started to dig where it comes from. According to István Gyárfás, a Roman inscription was discovered near Osijek (Croatia): „pro salute et felici Pont. Max. et Anniae Faustinae Aug. Coniugi C. Clod. VI. Praef. M. Dacorum Jassiorum hanc statuam in Auraria numinibus”, dating to the time of Antoninus Pius (AD 140). Gyárfás was a 19th century Hungarian historian who researched history of the jász (ias), jazyg people, as he himself belonged to the jász people who settled in Hungary. The quote appears in the book "A jász-kunok története" (The History of the Jazyg-Comans) published in 1870. vfek.vfmk.hu/gyarfas_istvan/jaszkunok/
Gyárfás mentions the source also: "Katanchich Istri Accol. Geogr. vet. P. II. 239. Nro. 151."
Matija Petar Katancic (Valpovo, 1750 - Budim 1825) was an archeologist, writer and the fist translator of the Bible into Croatian (he was a Franciscan friar). He wrote a book about the roman milestone: A Tractate on the Roman Milestone Discovered near Osijek - DISSERTATIO / DE / COLVMNA MILLIARIA / AD / ESZEKVM / REPERTA / QVAM / PETRVS KATANCIVS / PANNONIVS / O.S. FRANCISCI / SCHOL. HVMAN. PROFESSOR P.O. / CONSCRIPSIT. /ESZEKI / TYPIS IOANN. MART. DIWALT / MDCCLXXXII. Osijek: I. M. Divald, 1782. Along with an exhausting tractate, it also contains a drawing of this lost milestone. []
So the milestone is lost... but I cannot find any "grave suspicion" on this Croatian Franciscan friar.--Sattila 23:21, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

message: In what sense was Iaşi "under Nazi control" during the Iaşi Pogrom? I'm aware that the SS were present, and participated in the pogrom, but as far as I know, no portion of Romania was occupied by Germany at any point during the war. Antonescu's regime was quite in control of Iaşi, and whatever Antonescu may have been, he was not a Nazi. Nor was this during the period of the Legionary state: the Iron Guard were already out of power. At this time, Romania had just recently officially joined the Axis, but as a member, not an occupied country. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I understand that there was a progrom in which many Jews were systematically killed, but why must the section of this event be included in the article, in such a large space? There is already a separate article for this. From a historial perspective, I don't see this event holding such a great significance for the history of Iasi. I believe that Iasi was burned down at least 6 times (Tatars, Turks, etc.) and many people were killed. If we were to give each slaughter an equally long section, the article would be too long. I suggest the section to be shortened. Also, the Jewish history of Iasi is also too long. How is that of any significance for the article? If every minority was to have an equally long section, again: the article would become too long. The history of the Jews only mention a statistics of numbers, but where's the legacy? A theater that was only popular to the Jews? A cemetary and a synagogue? What's the big deal about that? In fact, the Greeks hold a much richer history in Iasi: many of the Princes were of Greek origin; many of the scholars that studied at Iasi, were of Greek origin; and the Greek revolution, which was going to turn very bloody, started at Iasi. Yet I don't see a section of the Greek history in the article, taking a lot of space. --Thus Spake Anittas 14:15, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. Why don't you write the section on the  Greek princes? That would be more constructive than proposing the deletion of an existing, valid section.--Redaktor 18:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I second Redaktor. The way to go here is to add material to other sections - missing content and available material make such requests for "balancing" utterly pointless. One does not balance an article by making all sections as vague and superficial as possible. Using this logic, we should also trim and turn more ambiguous our articles on the Holocaust, since killing millions of Jews sure made their presence in Europe less significant... Dahn 18:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Ditto to Redaktor and Dahn. On the pogrom: unless I am mistaken, Iaşi was 20-25% Jewish at the time. Anittas, are you seriously saying that if the Jews of the city had murdered half of the ethnic Romanians, you wouldn't consider that a very important event in the city's history? Similarly, on a city outside of Romania that was 25% Romanian for most of its history, wouldn't you be inclined to write a section on the history of the Romanian community in that city? - Jmabel | Talk 04:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Tatars did just that several times; and like I said: if we are to cover every such event in the history of Iasi, you'll have an article of the size of Bucharest, covering just the murderers of people. I didn't say that we should remove the text; I said we should reduce its lenght. And there are cities with Romanian minority in it, and I don't think it's important to write about Romanians having a cemetary there. Why should that be considered important? --Thus Spake Anittas 07:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Anitts, from what I know on the subject, a comparison with the Tatar raids is a gross exaggeration: before the pogrom, no massacre in Iaşi ever had such drastic effects. Dahn 09:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The Iasians lived among the Cumans and they left the Caucasus after the first Mongolian campaign in the West (battle of Kalka).
