Untitled[edit]

Not neutral enough? A local naming issue again? Or perhaps it's not considered "beautiful" by all? --Wetman 17:01, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, I would like to see beautiful removed or replaced by something a little more neutral and encyclopaedic. While we're at it, it should probably be molded into more of an article and less of a list of facts. Hold on, I'll give it a shot, see if I can't refactor it so both issues get solved in one swell foop. --fvw * 21:38, 2004 Dec 28 (UTC)

I have changed the number of people reported to the official information of the latest census. The accurate number is 55,153 persons. The information was obtained from the official page of the town hall in Medias, for reference here is a link to it: Statistic data (.ro). Also, the Romas (rroms, gypsies - not polliticaly correct term) population is reported as 1959 people, the unnoffical number is reported as ~ 7000. I have changed the reported Romas number and decreased the "other" value so that numbers match.

I will continue to translate the information in the romanian version of the article and try as best as I can to adapt it to the English language.

Orthography[edit]

This article does not comply with correct Romanian orthography. Romanian uses ș (s-comma) and ț (t-comma), not ş (s-cedilla) and ţ (t-cedilla).

--Sohoscribbler (talk) 18:37, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While in theory you are certainly right, all articles in Wikipedia take into account that a large part of the readership has problems displaying the correct Romanian diacritics. More details on your talk page. — AdiJapan 08:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to Vitrometan? No more porcelain? No more glass?[edit]

I'm Belgian, but I know Romania enough to know that it was a firm to build glass or porcelain. My wife said that she heard (she's from romanian origin) that the firm was sought to Germany or a foreign firm, that Vitrometan doesn't exist anymore. Is that true? Why did the romanian Government sell its patrimony, a piece of its economy to a foreign firm? Please put any information on the following address : daniel.davenne@just.fgov.be? My wife, that was a touristic guide before we married, told me that Medias (Vitrometan) built a marvelous porcelain, pretty, with a high quality. We're so sorry. Thanks a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.191.241.1 (talk) 13:03, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Typo year??[edit]

n the 19th century, unions started to merge and build factories. The first factory, called "Karres", was established in 1881 and produced various leather products. In 1888, a factory that manufactured cloth and various textiles was built, followed in 1985 by a factory called "Salconserv" that produced salami and cans. The company used to produce the famous brand of salami called "salam de Sibiu", for the company "Theil & Co. A.G. Salami und Selchwarenfabrik", located in Sibiu.

In 1921, Mediaș started to manufacture windows

I wonder if there's a typo on the year 1985, and that it perhaps should be 1895 maybe?
