Orthography
Wikipedia has no current standard on which orthography to use vis a vis the ș and ț characters. This article was using a combination of 'ş' and 's' instead of 'ș'. I have standardised on 'ș' except where doing so would break a link. - Francis Tyers · 07:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Come on, Francis! Not only is this arbitrary (I note your "except where doing so would break a link"), but it breaks with consensus at a time when tens of thousands of articles with millions of "ş" (not "ș") characters exist out there, and when nobody uses "ș" on wiki or anywhere on the net.

To Francis: I'm not sure what standard you're talking about, or how there could a single standard, because ş is a different letter from ș, and I'm sure there's languages out there that only use one and not the other. Seeing as Romanian uses ș, I think that's the one that should be replaced throughout the entire article.
To Dahn: Standardizing on ș is arbitrary? It's in the Romanian alphabet! Who cares how many other articles use "ş"? That does not have any bearing on which letter should be in this article. They are different letters; it's like suggesting that the English o should be replaced with ø because it's "tens of thousands of articles". rpop (talk) 18:40, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
The railway arrived in...
According to this article the railway arrived in 1882 in Ploieşti. According to this site Ploieşti had its railway connection (with Bucharest and Galati) already in 1872. Rather enigmatic however is a phrase on Republic of Ploieşti: On the evening of 9 August [1870! Fvn], soldiers from Bucharest arrived at the Ploieşti train station. If that's correct, there must have been some railway even in 1870... Any specialists? Fransvannes (talk) 18:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I've added a climate table. I got the data from the URL below, but I don't know how to reference it properly. URL= http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/wxclimatology/monthly/ROXX0012 --IoanC (talk) 16:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
