Talk:Gigi Becali

message: It has been said before: Gigi is a nickname - the actual name is "George". I asked for it to be moved to George Becali, because of this reason, it was, and now someone undoes this, and brings it back to Gigi? May I at least know why? I'm gonna ask for it to be moved again, and will not remove the demand, unless someone comes with a good reason (which I fail to find).diego_pmc (talk) 23:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it George or Gheorghe? And... most of the references talk about "Gigi Becali" and since Wikipedia is about references not about truth this page might very well remain here.  -- AdrianTM (talk) 23:54, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Geroge (look here). IMO, it should be called, as he's called, not nicked. The Romanian article for example is called Gorge, not Gigi. BTW, this: "Wikipedia is about references not about truth" must be the worst argument ever.;) Encyclopedias are bout the truth as far as I know. diego_pmc (talk) 07:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: well if you are such a firm believer in truth and want to have a bit of fun read WP:TRUTH... the thing is many public persons are listed under the names they were known at the time they became famous not under the real name from passport, see Stalin for example... -- AdrianTM (talk) 07:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I don't oppose strongly against the move, I just mentioned how other cases are treated on WP. If other people support the move that's fine by me. Start a poll... -- AdrianTM (talk) 07:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think this is enough, it depends who took the picture and if they released it under a free license -- AdrianTM (talk) 07:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I know this is not a forum, but...
This page has more edits than the articles on Mihai Eminescu, Carol I of Romania or Stephen the Great. I am not actually that shocked, but extremely saddened that this article about a person who hasn't actuall done ANYTHING for Romania except sell tabloids and probably instigated to violence gets this much attention. Nergaal (talk) 15:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Information is not bad in itself, Hitler probably gets a lot of edits too, I assume more than Beethoven... in the end who cares, people get the info they look for. AdrianTM (talk) 15:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Eminescu gets less edits for the simple fact that he's long dead, and every matter concerning him is long settled, therefore no contradictions. Becali on the other hand is alive (therefore every day there might be something new to add about him), and very controversial. Importance of that character has nothing to do with it here. diego_pmc (talk) 17:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand the reasons (as I said I am not that surprised), but I am still saddened. I bet there are other examples of Romanian persons still alive that are more important and still get less attention. As for the Hitler comparrison; while neat, still think that he actually did something, even though really bad; while the case here barely did anything. Nergaal (talk) 19:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Ethnicity = Aromanian??
La Hagi cand am scris asta ati sters in 24 de ore. Cum... Hagi e roman 100%, "macedo-roman" i-auzi, si alte vrajeli scrise si prin presa; dar de Gigi Becali... E "makedon", e "aroman", nu e roman, e complet diferit. Ce caractere aveti, mai rau ca Becali sunteti.
Sunt complet de acord sa scrieti ca e "Aromanian", dar scrieti asa si despre Hagi, Caragiale, Toma Caragiu, Nicu Constantin, Elena Ghoerghe, Zicu etc
Doar cand va convine scrieti ca e makedon? Or ii asumati pe toti or pe niciunul... 89.35.62.12 (talk) 04:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
