Talk:Ruse, Bulgaria

message: I deleted the Romanian and Turkish names for Русе (Ruse) because the Romanian name nowadays is Ruse - try the Romana link. Rusciuc was older name and it is not used now. According to me, in English Wikipedia only English and national language should be in. Give your opinion.--Valkov 17:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Isn't there a nuclear power plant in or near Ruse? And shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? +ILike2BeAnonymous 19:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not exactly... our only active nuclear plant, the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant, is quite a lot to the west, and the Belene Nuclear Power Plant, construction of which is to begin soon, is somewhat closer, but still not really near. In fact, I think the Romanian nuclear plant in Cernavodă is the closest currently active one. All three are situated on the Danube, because it is used to supply them with nuclear fuel.

thread_title:  Nuke plant in Ruse 

message: I deleted the text "Rousse is being threatened by considerable air pollution" and the links (all of them in Bulgarian):
* http://standartnews.com/archive/2002/04/20/business/index.htm
* http://www.brjag.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2957&Itemid=2
* http://www.actualno.com/news_66780.html
because it puts undue weight to a hardly existing problem.  The first link dates back to 2002, and since then measures have been implemented to reduce pollution, including eco-filters and digital monitoring (just google for "ТЕЦ Русе" and scan the first dozen of results).    The second link describes a perceived "pollution" because of trash and automobile tyres set on fire.  The third link mentions a local (perhaps several hundred meters) and brief leakage of ammonia without serious consequences.
It looks that the above statement was part of a campaign by User:Groser to prove that all cities in Bulgaria face ecological problems along with Stara Zagora.    In my view, more weight should be given to the long-term trans-border pollution by a Giurgiu-based factory during the Communist rule of Bulgaria, and to the events which led to the 1989 coup d'état.  The current environmental threat is disproportional to that.

replies: text:  Tires set on fire have nothing to do with constant air pollution. It's not our fault that Stara Zagora has serious ecological problems. Vandalizing this page will not help you stop the pollution of your town.--Botam 13:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name 

message: thumb|'Ruse' in an early application of the Streamlined System.
I'd like to give another go of the naming issue. We all know the proper transliteration of the name is "Ruse" and it is seen as such by all BG authorities, which gives it kinda official status. And official status is what we aim for. Anyone having anything against a "Ruse" rename? --Laveol T 15:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay with me.  After all, that's been my recorded opinion for some 19 years now, as seen from the picture on the right. Apcbg (talk) 21:21, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

text: I've also always supported that generally. The only problem is that it would have to be Ruse, Bulgaria because ruse is a generic English word and it has a couple of other meanings in addition. Otherwise, I'm all for dropping that old-fashioned spelling. Todor→Bozhinov 21:33, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily I reckon; none of the other articles is titled just 'Ruse' (and anyway the city is more important than any existing or possible other meanings/articles), so we could use that name with a standard note "For other meanings see Ruse (disambiguation)" inserted. Apcbg (talk) 21:59, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Count me in! In fact, the occasion of the Transliteration Law becoming effective  would be a good one to make the translation used in it an official one recommended for Wikipedia (here). We should wait for Cameltrader's opinion, though (going to leave a message on his talk). Preslav (talk) 18:19, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Cameltrader didn't react, so shall we go for it and move the page to Ruse, Bulgaria? Preslav (talk) 05:43, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'd say we should go ahead. We'll need some bot help for all the Rousse links and redirects though. Todor→Bozhinov 06:58, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved the page and repaired redirects to it. There are plenty of Rousse's left to repair... Preslav (talk) 15:08, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name (again) 

message: The article states: Rousse is known for its 19th- and 20th-century Neo-Baroque and Neo-Rococo architecture. However, the link neo-rococo goes to rococo. The rococostyle was to my knowledge of the 18th century. Can anyone that knows Rousse tell me what is the correct category? I'm going to Rousse in September, but surely I would like to be prepared (and make sure that Wikipedia is correct)! Trygve W Nodeland (talk) 09:47, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, we cannot classify late-19th century architecture simply as Rococo because that style belongs to the 18th century. Late 19th-century architecture in Rousse and many other Bulgarian cities emulates Western and Central European architecture of prior centuries, i.e. it belongs to the revival styles: Neoclassicism, Neo-Baroque and such. I hope you have some great time in Rousse! If you need any advice do drop a line over at WikiProject Bulgaria, we have some contributors from the city who might be able to provide you with some valuable information :) Todor→Bozhinov 10:27, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

message: What about moving Rousse Province as well? There is a  current discussion about renaming related categories to use Ruse. Occuli (talk) 16:22, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rousse 

message: Dear contributors, we should discuss adding this article to the category "Divided Cities". This categorization would refer to the ~6€ per car per crossing toll tax instituted by the Bulgarian and Romanian governments at the Friendship Bridge that terminates within the city limits of Ruse and very close to the city limits of Giurgiu.
As a citizen of Ruse, I do not feel going to Giurgiu as going to another city but I do feel that the 12€ in toll taxes (back and forth) limit my freedom of movement. --TAfricanski (talk) 15:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that this toll is scandalous, but the two cities have never been considered a single city which was divided by a national border, which is the criteria for inclusion in this category. Kostja (talk) 12:43, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The article claims that the name, Ruse, may be derived from the Finnish word 'ruskea', which is said to mean 'blonde'. Nevertheless, 'ruskea' actually means 'brown' in modern Finnish, and in the past 'ruskea' has also referred to 'reddish brown' or 'red'.
The root of the word 'ruskea' may be indigenous to the Uralic languages, but loan etymologies from Baltic, Slavic and Germanic sources have also been proposed, so it entirely is possible that the name, Ruse, could be derived from an Indo-European language instead. 81.175.145.78 (talk) 21:30, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
