Talk:Carol I of Romania

message: I stayed at the Marine Hotel in Llandudno & was intrigued to find that Queen Elizabth who used the Pen Name Carmen Sylva had been at the hotel for about two years in the 1890's ~ there is a letter in a frame @ the Hotel in which she thanks the people of Llandudno for all their kindness & help in her difficulies...   how ever.....  after reading several books on the King and Queen, plus research on the Web I can find no refernece to her ever being out of Romainia for a period of time....  why was she @ Llandudno..  it is certain she was there as there are many references to her in the Town... Sylva.  and Carmen and Queen Elizabeth feature in so many places... is anyone able to enlighten me of this...  from all I have read she was well liked in the Country and she had come to live in and there is no seemingly reason for any exile.....   Crocus Rokersosski...   E mail address if it easier for reply/info is christefercrocus@fsmail.net
check out the last section 'life and family'. also the Queen Elisabeth article. in short, she actively encouraged an engagement between Elena Văcărescu, her lady in waiting, and Crown Prince Ferdinand, although the romanian constitution specifically forbade the marriage of royal family members and romanians. she was exiled for two years. ilya 09:06, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: i see someone corrected the date of death from the 27th of september to the 10th of october. i must point out that both dates are correct because romania at the time was using the julian calendar, meaning it was 14 days behind the western world...  the 27th of september is more correct because it's the romanian time and we are talking about someone who died in romania. if you want to point out the difference, you could use the general 27th of september/10th of october style...
:Was Romania really using the Julian calendar?  I've never heard this before. At any rate, I think that both dates ought to be given for any event after 1582 in a country that adopted the Gregorian calendar later. john k 21:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes. It switched to Gregorian calendar only in 1919. bogdan 22:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I have read the article about John Hunyadi, where it is emphasized, that he was a Romanian. I suggest adding to this article, that Carol I was German. Just to follow the same pattern.Zmiklos 12:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  day of death 

message: ; following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Russo-Turkish War he was proclaimed King of Romania with the consent of both the Turkish Sultan and the major European powers on 26 March 1881.
I have a huge problem with this sentence. The 1881 act did not require (nor asked) for any consent - Romania was an independent country by then, and could pursue any choice of government desired. The act proclaiming independence, required no consent from the outside world (just countersignatures from the ministries, the heads of the two chambers of parliament and the head of the Supreme Court). Further, since the Ottoman Empire was defeated and all claims were declared null and void through the treaties of San Stefano and Berlin, the Turks could not de jure even give their accord!--Xanthar (talk) 02:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The new king, Ferdinand (under the influence of his wife, Marie of Edinburgh, a British princess), was more willing to listen to public opinion.
Well, it is a long way from the first Crown Council held by King Carol I , to the phrase above.This phrase should be , at least to King Ferdinand article.Further more ,what has Queen Marie to do with King Ferdinand decision.And last but not least is a contradiction in the article.One time it yelds that the Old Kingdom of Romania was led in reality by the political figures of the time such as I I C Bratiano, then this.Hm?2003:CF:BBCE:24D:127:29F9:F7F2:A658 (talk) 10:26, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: As much as it is brave of you to stand up and talk about this, I honestly don't know what you are talking about. Which passages are 'lies' in the ro.wiki article? Do you see anything specific? In that case, I encourage you to discuss it in that version's Talk page, or even to edit things yourself, provided you have multiple sources for fixing the 'lies'. As for the 'hideous images', this is the one you cited: , which seems absolutely fine to me, even moreso as it was made by a recognized painter. The other ones in the article are all either portraits of him, family photos, or a picture of a crowd gathered at his burial. Again, please clarify as I have no idea what you want us to do with this information. Double Plus Ungood (talk) 18:07, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: I expanded the article, which was rather short for such an important historical figure and was missing much information regarding his reign and legacy. For example, the War of Independence was the historical event most associated with Carol's reign and it only consisted of two lines. Also, the article only had two references outside of the Honours section and I tried to properly cite both the new text and the claims that were already in the article. 
As this was a pretty big change to the article and it's obvious that the article can be be made better, I'm looking forward to receiving feedback on how to further improve it.
