[edit] Dispute tag

Any reason why this article is still disputed? If there isn't, the tag should probably be removed. Khoikhoi 04:43, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I see no reason of dispute in this article. And if someone does, should use the talk page for clarifications first. Hectorian 04:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed. Khoikhoi 04:51, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DISPUTED

We would have removed the disputed caption, but we didn't know how to. We are still learning how to use Wikipedia.

[edit] This article is just for laughs.Pure anti-Greek propaganda.

As if Greece is oppressing them.They are considered Greeks.They consider themselves Greeks.Many prominet figures of Greek culture are Aromanians.It's rediculous the way this article is surrounded by the notion of the bad Greek state even though that Aromanians have absolutely equal position with any other individual in Greek society.This article is crap.Pure ant-Greek propaganda.

It's not Anti-Greek Propaganda, It's Anti Greek-Propaganda. The Aromanians don't have equal position in Greece, no minorities do. Alex 202.10.89.28 11:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

That's why there are Aromanians Politicians, army men etc ; The family that baptised me is of Aromanian anchestry you asshole and noone discriminates anyone of these people in work or anywhere else.In fact noone cares.155.207.250.54 13:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

And do they consider themselves Aromanians? Do they speak Aromanian in public? Even if they do, can they learn it in any form of school? The family that baptised you are called "Latin-speaking Greeks" by everyone else. That way, Greece is 100% Greek. If I'm an asshole, you're a tool. Apparently the Greeks invented democracy. It must be only if you're Greek. Alex 202.10.89.28 10:24, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, yes, and yes, if they wanted to. When he was education minister, George Papandreou asked Vlach leaders if they wanted their traditionally unwritten language to be taught in schools. They politely declined. The Vlachs are, on the whole, so well-integrated that they have no interest in being a minority in Greece. The right not to belong to a minority cannot be dismissed. As for those who invented democracy, they regarded and treated foreigners (barbarians) with far more contempt than their modern counterparts. Don't confuse democracy with twentieth-century Canadian or Australian-style multiculturalism; they're not the same thing. ·ΚέκρωΨ· (talk) 15:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It's not only anti-Greek it's Anti Aromanian

A pure Romanian propaganda article. How can a non-speaker of the language and a pseudo-historian write an article? Eeamoscopolecrushuva 15:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Britannica

Francis, why are you removing the Britannica ref?--Ploutarchos 08:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

The solution for an issue like this is to quote better sources than Britannica. I'm pretty certain the identification of Arumanian as a dialect of Rumanian is made in parts of the relevant literature, but in such issues we should be quoting specialist material. Non-specialist tertiary reference works like Britannica are too often imprecise on such questions. I'll check next time I get time to visit the Romance department library.

"Aromanian, otherwise known as Macedo-Romanian or Vla(c)h is a dialect of Romanian, but sometimes considered as a distinct language..."

[edit] "related groups" info removed from infobox

For dedicated editors of this page: The "Related Groups" info was removed from all {{Infobox Ethnic group}} infoboxes. Comments may be left on the Ethnic groups talk page. Ling.Nut 16:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

We need pictures of Aromanians. Did the copyright on the previous ones expire? I don't know how to add any but I suggest Pitu Guli, Tose Proeski and Gheorghe Hagi because they would be the most obvious. Alex 202.10.89.28 10:42, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
