Length and date ok. QPQ done. Close parahrase not found. But for the original hook, the sentence "he drafted the law on secularization of monastic estates, and was the only bishop in the Principalities to support the policy of Cuza in this endeavor." needs a direct reference. Likewise for ALT2, regarding Bismarck, and ALT3. ALT1 is a bit too speculative for DYK. As per ALT4, the article gives no indication of current activities of the foundation. I think the original hook or ALT3 would be the most interesting if properly referenced. --Soman (talk) 07:07, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

@Soman: - Thank you for the review. I believe I've addressed your concerns. - Biruitorul ^Talk 15:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks, and sorry for forgetting to ping you. (Romanian language source) on original hook, ALT 2 and ALT3. My preference is original hook. --Soman (talk) 15:57, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
