Talk:Ghica family

message: Isn't it however understood in the sources that whether they were Aromanians or not, they anyway were Vlachs in its oldest and widest meaning? ObRoy 00:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not known whether they were anything but Albanian - it is believed that they were, but not known for sure. For the rest,it seems to be backwards: whatever they originally were, many of their descendants chose to be Romanian. Dahn 00:57, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The section titled "Origins" is a total propagandistic POV: one source only is sistematically used to deny the general consensus of the historians about the Albanian origins of the family and claim that it was of Romanian ethnicity, and this source isn't even written in English but.. in Romanian.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.34.203.162 (talk) 02:50, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

replies: text:  One source is one source and you can't fill a section of POV statements from a Romanian article which is not even written in English. There is not a lot of reliable material in the section named "Origins".. How can such a sentence be reliable, in instance: "Modern Romanian historiography has expressed vexation at the appropriation, undertaken by Albanian historiography (and by the unscientific Western scholarly works relying on faulty and superficial theories), of not only the Romanian feminist activist and writer Elena Ghica, but also of the whole Ghica family", when I show a modern Romanian academic source written by Romanian scholars and published by the Cluj University Press stating so: "Grigore IV Ghica, a member of a family of Albanian descent and Greek culture" (Maria Crăciun, Ovidiu Ghitta, Ethnicity and religion in Central and Eastern Europe, Cluj University Press, 1995, p. 202)?
A large part of the claims in that section denying the Albanian origins of the family is based on one source quoted several times. Basing a whole section on  personal ideas and the original theory of one scholar is not a reliable attitude. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.34.183.206 (talk) 00:52, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I know nothing of how to correct them, but the dating of the early princes seems off. In particular, Gheorghe is given multiple tenures as prince of both Wallachia and Moldavia, which is of course possible, but nearly a century apart in the case of Moldavia [1650s and 1730s-40s].
