Hey, Dc76, you can read Russian, right? Here, this book should provide an interesting perspective for you. Read at least the "Хаос как средство обогащения" and "Создание армии ПМР" chapters, if you don't have the time for the whole book. -- Illythr 14:31, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Soviet system in Eastern block is here described (if it is described at all) in articles related to individual countries. I have started two articles synthetizing Sovietisation in many countries, one of them was quickly removed by a small group Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Soviet university. I find it very sad, that the former Eastern block nations aren't able to cooperate in describing their Soviet past. Xx236 06:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
For what it's worth, my apologies for the "bullying and stigmatization" you'd to suffer for taking part in the discussion. If it makes you feel any better: imagine that some of us had to live through such discussions with the same users for years... makes you wonder if we should really dedicate our lives to it, sometimes, doesn't it? But I hope you don't give up with occasional contributions to related subjects - I had seen too many good editors chased off wiki by such atmosphere, and I am hoping that this ArbCom will finally stop what you have so well described.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 18:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Marxism-Leninism differs greatly from stalinism. I would even dare to say that stalinism has nothing to do with communism. The reason why wikipedia does not want to recognize it, is probably great number of neo-soviets around who find the definition of stalinism offensive towards their beliefs.

He isn't happy if he's not the one in control. Kingjeff 20:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
That suggestion seems fine, although I believe Eurocopter is going on a short wikibreak anyways, so it shouldn't be a big deal. I admit that I was a bit upset with Eurocopter when I made the comment at the 3RR noticeboard, but I'm well over that. Truth be told, he/she isn't really the problem with regards to reaching compromise at the article, I've worked with Euro earlier on essentially the same issue on a similar page, and we (Euro, another editor, and I) were able to reach a suitable compromise; User:Lear 21 is the one who apparently will not attempt to compromise.

Can you write me at digwuren@gmail.com for discussion of some above-mentioned problems? Διγυρεν Εμπροσ! 05:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your updates. The page is more than 60kb, the history part taking a good part of it, so it was quite appropriate to write a separate article on it, taking in consideration false statements in it anyway. For example it was full of, in my view, inappropriate passages about Romanian army generally speaking and not relating to Bălţi as such. Hence, all the links will be re-established. In WP we trust, Moldopodo.
I clearly do not appreciate some of your contributions, and if you continue so I will have to take further action as far as your account is concerned. I am referring to the passages where you express nothing else but your personal political view. This is an encyclopedia and not a political forum.
Since 1989 All local elections are won by the old Soviet apparatus candidates, the Russian minority being stronger politically not least because of its higher turnout rate. However the policies of the local authorities have evolved from one individual to the next, so that although extreme left by today's standards, some of them would have been considered quite liberal in Soviet times.
Currently, the municipal activity is done in Russian and Romanian, in disregard with the 1989 national language law, which states that Romanian/Moldavian is the only official language of the country.
- First of all, what do you mean by "higher turnout rate" for Russian minority? Russian speaking Moldovans are just the same as Romanian speaking Moldovans, it's not a question of minority or majority. If Russian speaking professionals get elected, it's probably because of their competence (and you truly can see huge improvements in the city at all levels, compare to first years of Moldavian independence where Romanian speaking peasant elite was pushed forward).
- Secondly there is no law violation, as there is a law that Russian is a language of intercultural communication in Moldova. Besides, in some parts of Moldova, like Transnistria and Gaguzia, Russian, Ukrainian and Gagauz respectively are official languages.
These are just some examples of meaningless personal politically colored statements that have no place at WP.
In WP we trust, Moldopodo.

Înainte de toate celelalte, să rămână, frate! OK, here's the idea. Revert wars have been started on 12 articles: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. I can't fight a 12-front revert war, so you, Dpotop and other like-minded editors will have to help. I'm sure you know why we're doing this, but the basic argument is as follows. We have an article called Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, and Wikipedia, based on reliable sources, recognises that an occupation did in fact take place. "To cede" means "to yield or grant typically by treaty" or "to assign, to grant". It does not have innately hostile connotations like "occupation" does, and more importantly, no sources calling it a "cession" have been produced. (Of course, some cessions, like the Mexican Cession, are done under pressure, but history calls it a cession, which is why we use the term; history calls June 1940 an occupation.) If the parties on the other side wish to start a WP:RM for that article, they may, and if they succeed, we'll discuss further. Until then, though, it will continue to be called an occupation, as long as we have a say in the matter. Biruitorul 00:31, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't think the argument needs to be repeated a dozen times, just the link. (Thank you for your comment, too, Adrian: massive military casualties don't normally accompany a "cession", so that's quite useful.) I've seen the Digwuren case but have no participated. Good luck with the Bălţi business, where I will try to lend some assistance. Some of those 12 articles have been reverted again, and so it goes... I'd like to e-mail you but first you should enable e-mail. Biruitorul 22:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
First of, please leave such names as "smart man/woman" for yourself. Secondly, I edited the talk page and you edited in the same time, that's what probably caused the accident. However, you have deliberately deleted the whole section I wrote about your controversial edits, which fact I have to consider as vandalism No 2. By the way, I can't see what do you have to edit, as you have already presented your point of view, it's not a game of persuasion. Anyway, I have enough of it for the time being and let you edit until further notice. Bye! Moldopodo 16:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)Moldopodo

Cred că te referi la scrierea cu â şi î din câte am înţeles din mesajul tău. Aceasta este introducerea celui mai recent Dicţionar ortografic publicat de Academia de Ştiinţe A Moldovei (corespondentul DOOM-ului din România). Acesta anunţă că "în noua ediţie se aplică Hotărârea Adunării Generale a Academiei Române din 17 februarie 1993 privind revenirea la "â" şi "sunt" în limba română".
Totodată aici găseşti curriculumul la limba română pentru liceu (publicat în 2006). Între conţinuturile de lecţie recomandate pentru clasa a X-a (prima de liceu) se numără şi:
Cu toate acestea în Moldova prea puţin se face caz din ortografie, o problemă mai stringentă este denumirea limbii, sau supremaţia limbii române. De aceea poţi să observi că în ciuda faptului că curriculumul vorbeşte despre modificarea ortografiei limbii române - şi recomandă la clasă ca elevilor să le fie aduse la cunoştinţă modificările, - el este scris cu grafia veche. -- Danutz 18:17, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dc76 & thanks for your comment.
I don't have any info on just how extensive the emigration from Bessarabia was but if I find anything that's relevant I'll let you know. I have two books about the Volga Germans generally, one in English and one in German -- but neither is very well organized or documented.

Hi Dc76! About Anittas, I regret very much what happened to him, and I maintain that he was dealt with too harshly, and I intended to protest his indefinite block. However, he informed me that he has decided to leave Wikipedia, and that even if the block can be shortened that he is not interested in returning. I find his decision unfortunate, but that is his own choice.
As for Moldova, thanks for your offer of help. The article is in a rather sorry state, and I always had it at the top of my list but never quite got around to it. Indeed, there is much work to be done. I am trying to make the article follow the guidelines listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries. As my model, I have other featured articles on countries, such as Belgium, Turkey, and Germany. The problem is that now there is little structure to the Moldova article and much random (and some inaccurate) information. Of course, if there is relevant data, I don't want it lost, so if it's just too detailed for the main article, it should be moved to the sub-articles. My idea for a schedule was to first create the skeleton of the article, meaning that only the sections from the Countries projects should be kept and rest integrated or moved. Then, all the sections need to be reworked, some to be expanded, others made more compact, others need sources (and most existing sources need to be changed to standard formats). Then, various issues of style need to be changed (i.e. to make the article pretty), which means finding some nice images, making the tables look nicer, etc. And finally, the article will need to be copy-edited and checked for errors. So if you want to help, it would be great if you could work on any of those aspects, or any other. See you around! TSO1D ( talk) 03:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
About Elizavetovca, I'm not sure that this is not the official name. Looking at the webiste of the

Hi - looks like a good initiative to start that list, and I'll try to see what I can do to work on making it better. I'm not quite sure what the right format would be -- probably some of the material can go back and forth from/to the respective biographies, and the "parent" article on the Securitate (as well as related articles). Before getting into the details, let me ask a question that is bound to arise: what about the personal data about those officers and leaders of the Securitate -- how much of that is necessary and/or appropriate in such a list? Such questions have been debated at length in the respective biographies, with much heat but not much light coming out. I personally think it's more important to get to the bottom of what happened, and describing in detail the mechanisms and structures of that repressive apparatus, than to get bogged down in what are, arguably, side issues of personalities. Don't get me wrong -- I still think it's important to analyze personal stories, and pinpoint individual responsibility -- but maybe that's best done in the individual articles, where one can hash out those details. In a list like the one you initiated (or in a similarly broad article), I would concentrate on the general themes, important connections, etc, keeping in mind readability, and organization of info in an easier-to-follow format. Now, one also needs some good sources for such a project -- it would be very good to have something there in a References and/or External links section, for other people to consult. Finally, about those pics: yes, it's always a source of frustration to not have enough available pics for articles. I tried uploading pics for a while, but my experience with that has been quite poor (many have been deleted), and I kind of given up on adding pics, till I understand what it really takes to have them accepted, say, with a >90% chance of success (right now, it looks more like 20%, or so).

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Teohari Georgescu.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Dahn ( talk) 23:11, 23 November 2007 (UTC) Dahn ( talk) 23:11, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Speaking of which: you certainly do not own the copyrights to most, if not all, the images you uploaded recently. I have to let you know that this is considered disruptive. Dahn ( talk) 23:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
To clarify my point. At the bottom of the template you used, you will find this: "This tag should not be used. Instead, use either one of the more specific tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use or {{non-free fair use in|article name}}" (where "article name" should be turned into "Teohari Georgescu"). I do not know why they still hold to the template, but note that the only alternative offered is "fair use of... in the article...". So, no, you cannot use it anywhere but in one article. Unless I'm mistaken, that category of templates also requires a low resolution for all pictures it is applied to (so that they cannot be reproduced for commercial purposes using wikipedia).
I ma open to the possibility that the original image is not actually copyrighted. However, we do not know this for sure (the law bluntly states that they aren't, and provides no exception), and, in all other such cases, the images uploaded were deleted or had to be taken to "fair use" instead of "uncopyrighted". Taking a photo of a copyrighted photo is also not a way to evade copyright - this may work for sculptures and buildings (and it does not apply at all in, say, Italy), but it is a very debatable tactic when it comes to images that can only look a certain way in every single photo. Had you taken of photo of the photo including a large part of the board it was on, I'm not sure it would have applied (I'm also not sure it would have qualified as a portrait of Teohari Georgescu). Dahn ( talk) 14:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
You can't move the categories; you can only change the text of the [category:xxx] wherever that appears in the individual articles. TSO1D ( talk) 17:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Very good idea to use the official name. However, there is a small translation issue. In Romanian (Moldovan?) it's Mitropolia Chisinaului si a intregii Moldove. Should we put there a whole Moldova? I'll let you decide. Dpotop 20:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

The first article of the Constitution says Moldova is independent. It's a fallacy to say that those who voted the Constitution didn't also vote the first article. Of course there was, but there was not a "complete destruction", and it's not more relevant than the opinion of the Moldovans in Romanian ruled Bessarabia which you deleted. Xasha ( talk) 20:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Voting a Constitution whose first article you don't support puts in doubt your intelligence. It's quite difficult to define who's and who's not an "elite", so much more to put such a dire percentage. Also, it's not sourced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xasha ( talk • contribs) 20:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I'll try to participate in the edits the following days. It's quite clear that Russians are now on the offensive (including on Wikipedia). So, it's going to be painful (remember Mauco and Anonimu?). Dpotop ( talk) 10:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Now, in what concerns the Union of Bessarabia with Romania, it's not always black and white. The guy seems to be right when saying that a Russian general sent in Romanian troops. However, the Romanian troops were there on demand from the Bessarabian government (albeit indirectly). And the assembly did vote the union with Romania, because there was no "Russia" left. There was only the Soviet Union. What I am trying to say is that the union decision is not smaller. Au contraire. The online book cited there is quite ond, but good reading.

Of course I still ardently support him being an admin. I have enormous respect for Biruitorul. I'll gladly join you in sponsoring him for another round of RfA. Last time, nearly all of the objections were (1) lack of experience (long since met, I'd imagine) and (2) that he said he was interested in fighting vandals but hadn't yet given many warnings (frankly, I could care less, but if I remember correctly he said at the time he'd follow up on that front). - Jmabel | Talk 20:53, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that Anonimu affair did put a stain on his standing. We really should have nominated him back in July, as I suggested (but totally forgot). I bet Ghirla will now vote "oppose" as well... As for Irpen and Mikka, they refer to this ("Moldova, Moldovan language") rally-like demarche by Dpotop. I understand his frustration, but what the hell was he thinking, providing people with reasons to believe that there's a Romanian Nationalist Cabal conspiracy on Wikipedia like that? Also, since Biru is, er, remarkably patriotic, their concerns about his impartiality are quite valid. This, however, was one of my reasons for supporting him. If Biru the admin does something that would even remotely look like nationalist POV in the mainspace, he can be desysopped pretty quickly, with "see, we told you!" from M&I. This makes adminship come with an effective killswitch for Biru so he will have to be even more impartial than before (no longer just in the mainspace). Devious, no? ;-) -- Illythr ( talk) 00:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
You know, now that you mentioned it, I don't think what I'm doing amounts to crucifixtion. After all, crucified people tend to go to heaven and sometimes get whole religions worshipping them below. No, I have a far worse fate in store for Biru: to keep him on Earth, firmly chained to the Wall of Neutrality by the Shackles of Good Faith, slaving his life away as a cog in the Empire of Jimbo the Great. -- Illythr ( talk) 10:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi there! I saw that you merged three categories into Category:Government, institutions and politics of Moldova. Unfortunately, this goes against our well-established categorization structure, which through naming conventions divides those three categories. In addition, the optimal method of merging such categories is through WP:CFD. Thus, I've reverted your recategorization. Feel free to CfD the categories and test the community's opinion there!

Is Xasha Moldopupo? -- 90 1 AQ ( talk) 04:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I apologize for the delay, RL has been time-consuming as of late. The personal philosophy I have behind flagship categories like Politics of, Government of, etc. is that they should remain separate as long as there is one article in them. Now it's true that many of our countries do not have as many articles as the United States. I don't believe, however, in building a categorization structure according to what we have. I prefer building one on what we could have. To me, just because we don't have articles relating to a topic doesn't mean they don't exist. There are many facets of Moldovan government that we do not explain as sufficiently as we do for the United States, such as the judicial system and the members of the Moldovan parliament.
In addition, I prefer the separation of Politics and Government for technical reasons. The Government category should be about the government itself: the offices, the departments and ministries, the structure, the rules and procedures, etc. The Politics category should be about the political aspects of Moldova: politicians themselves, elections, political parties, scandals, political movements and philosophies, and anything of that nature.
Now, you mentioned some specific examples. You're correct about judges and the judicial branch; they do not belong in Politics sections since their jobs are not political. MPs were one, and the practice is to include the MPs themselves in both Politics subcats and Government subcats, since they are elected government officials.
Another philosophy that comes into play here is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Each of the categories is fine on their own, so we shouldn't try to change what's working at the moment. The naming conventions balance structure with room for growth, and ensure that no category will become unmanageable. I hope I've answered a few of your questions, but if not, please feel free to ask! -- Hemlock Martinis ( talk) 20:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

"Buying votes" is a very loaded term and may hurt unjustly. If a mayor candidate promises to create more workplaces in the city, is this vote shopping or genuine concern for well-being? If Biruitorul promises to use more edit summaries with is edits, is this vote shopping or recognition of his drawback? Is their promise to not use his admin power in Romania-Moldova wikipedian wars if it will help to avoid possible tensions and accusations in taking sides possibly false but wasting everyone's energy - will it be a demonstration of goodwill or hypocrisy? Please notice that my vote of opposition (see its beginning) is not directly related to this promise. My opposition is related to my opinion that Biruitorul does not consider it in a proper way. I would understand if he started saying that no this promise would not help to defuse possible conflicts or that impartial admins are not much interested in this remote and not very important conflict area.

As you may know, I very rarely enter various wikipedia controversies. (I can list exactly 4 cases.)

Xasha is correct in that the article is very POV. Should someone report it to AFD it'd probably get speedied.

Marxism-Leninism differs greatly from stalinism. I would even dare to say that stalinism has nothing to do with communism. The reason why wikipedia does not want to recognize it, is probably great number of neo-soviets around who find the definition of stalinism offensive towards their beliefs.

Can you write me at digwuren@gmail.com for discussion of some above-mentioned problems? Διγυρεν Εμπροσ! 05:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your updates. The page is more than 60kb, the history part taking a good part of it, so it was quite appropriate to write a separate article on it, taking in consideration false statements in it anyway. For example it was full of, in my view, inappropriate passages about Romanian army generally speaking and not relating to Bălţi as such. Hence, all the links will be re-established. In WP we trust, Moldopodo.
I clearly do not appreciate some of your contributions, and if you continue so I will have to take further action as far as your account is concerned. I am referring to the passages where you express nothing else but your personal political view. This is an encyclopedia and not a political forum.
Since 1989 All local elections are won by the old Soviet apparatus candidates, the Russian minority being stronger politically not least because of its higher turnout rate. However the policies of the local authorities have evolved from one individual to the next, so that although extreme left by today's standards, some of them would have been considered quite liberal in Soviet times.
Currently, the municipal activity is done in Russian and Romanian, in disregard with the 1989 national language law, which states that Romanian/Moldavian is the only official language of the country.
- First of all, what do you mean by "higher turnout rate" for Russian minority? Russian speaking Moldovans are just the same as Romanian speaking Moldovans, it's not a question of minority or majority. If Russian speaking professionals get elected, it's probably because of their competence (and you truly can see huge improvements in the city at all levels, compare to first years of Moldavian independence where Romanian speaking peasant elite was pushed forward).
- Secondly there is no law violation, as there is a law that Russian is a language of intercultural communication in Moldova. Besides, in some parts of Moldova, like Transnistria and Gaguzia, Russian, Ukrainian and Gagauz respectively are official languages.
These are just some examples of meaningless personal politically colored statements that have no place at WP.
In WP we trust, Moldopodo.

Înainte de toate celelalte, să rămână, frate! OK, here's the idea. Revert wars have been started on 12 articles: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. I can't fight a 12-front revert war, so you, Dpotop and other like-minded editors will have to help. I'm sure you know why we're doing this, but the basic argument is as follows. We have an article called Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, and Wikipedia, based on reliable sources, recognises that an occupation did in fact take place. "To cede" means "to yield or grant typically by treaty" or "to assign, to grant". It does not have innately hostile connotations like "occupation" does, and more importantly, no sources calling it a "cession" have been produced. (Of course, some cessions, like the Mexican Cession, are done under pressure, but history calls it a cession, which is why we use the term; history calls June 1940 an occupation.) If the parties on the other side wish to start a WP:RM for that article, they may, and if they succeed, we'll discuss further. Until then, though, it will continue to be called an occupation, as long as we have a say in the matter. Biruitorul 00:31, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't think the argument needs to be repeated a dozen times, just the link. (Thank you for your comment, too, Adrian: massive military casualties don't normally accompany a "cession", so that's quite useful.) I've seen the Digwuren case but have no participated. Good luck with the Bălţi business, where I will try to lend some assistance. Some of those 12 articles have been reverted again, and so it goes...

Cred că te referi la scrierea cu â şi î din câte am înţeles din mesajul tău.

Cu toate acestea în Moldova prea puţin se face caz din ortografie, o problemă mai stringentă este denumirea limbii, sau supremaţia limbii române. De aceea poţi să observi că în ciuda faptului că curriculumul vorbeşte despre modificarea ortografiei limbii române - şi recomandă la clasă ca elevilor să le fie aduse la cunoştinţă modificările, - el este scris cu grafia veche. -- Danutz 18:17, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dc76! About Anittas, I regret very much what happened to him, and I maintain that he was dealt with too harshly, and I intended to protest his indefinite block. However, he informed me that he has decided to leave Wikipedia, and that even if the block can be shortened that he is not interested in returning. I find his decision unfortunate, but that is his own choice.
As for Moldova, thanks for your offer of help. The article is in a rather sorry state, and I always had it at the top of my list but never quite got around to it. Indeed, there is much work to be done. I am trying to make the article follow the guidelines listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries. As my model, I have other featured articles on countries, such as Belgium, Turkey, and Germany. The problem is that now there is little structure to the Moldova article and much random (and some inaccurate) information. Of course, if there is relevant data, I don't want it lost, so if it's just too detailed for the main article, it should be moved to the sub-articles. My idea for a schedule was to first create the skeleton of the article, meaning that only the sections from the Countries projects should be kept and rest integrated or moved. Then, all the sections need to be reworked, some to be expanded, others made more compact, others need sources (and most existing sources need to be changed to standard formats). Then, various issues of style need to be changed (i.e. to make the article pretty), which means finding some nice images, making the tables look nicer, etc. And finally, the article will need to be copy-edited and checked for errors. So if you want to help, it would be great if you could work on any of those aspects, or any other. See you around! TSO1D ( talk) 03:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

17:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi - looks like a good initiative to start that list, and I'll try to see what I can do to work on making it better. I'm not quite sure what the right format would be -- probably some of the material can go back and forth from/to the respective biographies, and the "parent" article on the Securitate (as well as related articles). Before getting into the details, let me ask a question that is bound to arise: what about the personal data about those officers and leaders of the Securitate -- how much of that is necessary and/or appropriate in such a list? Such questions have been debated at length in the respective biographies, with much heat but not much light coming out. I personally think it's more important to get to the bottom of what happened, and describing in detail the mechanisms and structures of that repressive apparatus, than to get bogged down in what are, arguably, side issues of personalities. Don't get me wrong -- I still think it's important to analyze personal stories, and pinpoint individual responsibility -- but maybe that's best done in the individual articles, where one can hash out those details. In a list like the one you initiated (or in a similarly broad article), I would concentrate on the general themes, important connections, etc, keeping in mind readability, and organization of info in an easier-to-follow format. Now, one also needs some good sources for such a project -- it would be very good to have something there in a References and/or External links section, for other people to consult. Finally, about those pics: yes, it's always a source of frustration to not have enough available pics for articles. I tried uploading pics for a while, but my experience with that has been quite poor (many have been deleted), and I kind of given up on adding pics, till I understand what it really takes to have them accepted, say, with a >90% chance of success (right now, it looks more like 20%, or so).

Speaking of which: you certainly do not own the copyrights to most, if not all, the images you uploaded recently. I have to let you know that this is considered disruptive. Dahn ( talk) 23:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
To clarify my point. At the bottom of the template you used, you will find this: "This tag should not be used. Instead, use either one of the more specific tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use or {{non-free fair use in|article name}}" (where "article name" should be turned into "Teohari Georgescu"). I do not know why they still hold to the template, but note that the only alternative offered is "fair use of... in the article...". So, no, you cannot use it anywhere but in one article. Unless I'm mistaken, that category of templates also requires a low resolution for all pictures it is applied to (so that they cannot be reproduced for commercial purposes using wikipedia).
I ma open to the possibility that the original image is not actually copyrighted. However, we do not know this for sure (the law bluntly states that they aren't, and provides no exception), and, in all other such cases, the images uploaded were deleted or had to be taken to "fair use" instead of "uncopyrighted". Taking a photo of a copyrighted photo is also not a way to evade copyright - this may work for sculptures and buildings (and it does not apply at all in, say, Italy), but it is a very debatable tactic when it comes to images that can only look a certain way in every single photo. Had you taken of photo of the photo including a large part of the board it was on, I'm not sure it would have applied (I'm also not sure it would have qualified as a portrait of Teohari Georgescu).

The first article of the Constitution says Moldova is independent. It's a fallacy to say that those who voted the Constitution didn't also vote the first article.

Now, in what concerns the Union of Bessarabia with Romania, it's not always black and white. The guy seems to be right when saying that a Russian general sent in Romanian troops. However, the Romanian troops were there on demand from the Bessarabian government (albeit indirectly). And the assembly did vote the union with Romania, because there was no "Russia" left. There was only the Soviet Union. What I am trying to say is that the union decision is not smaller. Au contraire. The online book cited there is quite ond, but good reading.

Last time, nearly all of the objections were (1) lack of experience (long since met, I'd imagine) and (2) that he said he was interested in fighting vandals but hadn't yet given many warnings (frankly, I could care less, but if I remember correctly he said at the time he'd follow up on that front). - Jmabel | Talk 20:53, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Err, shouldn't we inform Biru first of his impending doom? -- Illythr ( talk) 18:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, he will, now! (evil chuckle) -- Illythr ( talk) 21:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes, that Anonimu affair did put a stain on his standing. We really should have nominated him back in July, as I suggested (but totally forgot). I bet Ghirla will now vote "oppose" as well... As for Irpen and Mikka, they refer to this ("Moldova, Moldovan language") rally-like demarche by Dpotop. I understand his frustration, but what the hell was he thinking, providing people with reasons to believe that there's a Romanian Nationalist Cabal conspiracy on Wikipedia like that? Also, since Biru is, er, remarkably patriotic, their concerns about his impartiality are quite valid. This, however, was one of my reasons for supporting him. If Biru the admin does something that would even remotely look like nationalist POV in the mainspace, he can be desysopped pretty quickly, with "see, we told you!" from M&I. This makes adminship come with an effective killswitch for Biru so he will have to be even more impartial than before (no longer just in the mainspace). Devious, no? ;-) -- Illythr ( talk) 00:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
You know, now that you mentioned it, I don't think what I'm doing amounts to crucifixtion. After all, crucified people tend to go to heaven and sometimes get whole religions worshipping them below. No, I have a far worse fate in store for Biru: to keep him on Earth, firmly chained to the Wall of Neutrality by the Shackles of Good Faith, slaving his life away as a cog in the Empire of Jimbo the Great. -- Illythr ( talk) 10:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi there! I saw that you merged three categories into Category:Government, institutions and politics of Moldova. Unfortunately, this goes against our well-established categorization structure, which through naming conventions divides those three categories. In addition, the optimal method of merging such categories is through WP:CFD. Thus, I've reverted your recategorization. Feel free to CfD the categories and test the community's opinion there! Best wishes. -- Hemlock Martinis ( talk) 00:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Is Xasha Moldopupo? -- 90 1 AQ ( talk) 04:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I apologize for the delay, RL has been time-consuming as of late. The personal philosophy I have behind flagship categories like Politics of, Government of, etc. is that they should remain separate as long as there is one article in them. Now it's true that many of our countries do not have as many articles as the United States. I don't believe, however, in building a categorization structure according to what we have. I prefer building one on what we could have. To me, just because we don't have articles relating to a topic doesn't mean they don't exist. There are many facets of Moldovan government that we do not explain as sufficiently as we do for the United States, such as the judicial system and the members of the Moldovan parliament.
In addition, I prefer the separation of Politics and Government for technical reasons. The Government category should be about the government itself: the offices, the departments and ministries, the structure, the rules and procedures, etc. The Politics category should be about the political aspects of Moldova: politicians themselves, elections, political parties, scandals, political movements and philosophies, and anything of that nature.
Now, you mentioned some specific examples. You're correct about judges and the judicial branch; they do not belong in Politics sections since their jobs are not political. MPs were one, and the practice is to include the MPs themselves in both Politics subcats and Government subcats, since they are elected government officials.
Another philosophy that comes into play here is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Each of the categories is fine on their own, so we shouldn't try to change what's working at the moment. The naming conventions balance structure with room for growth, and ensure that no category will become unmanageable. I hope I've answered a few of your questions, but if not, please feel free to ask! -- Hemlock Martinis ( talk) 20:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Not as much wrong, as opinionated. Sometimes rather vague in his research. And to use that nationalist flame as a conclusion, ugh. -- Illythr ( talk) 21:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it chose to unite on its own free will, same as the Baltic state did, about 20 years later. The presence of foreign troops was really just a cultural influence... that prompted to change the council's opinion 180 degrees within a few weeks' notice. Meh. -- Illythr ( talk) 21:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Then I wish you best of luck, and lots of perseverance. It is a very interesting, and almost totally unknown, topic, which can become a great article (or series of articles). Keep it up! Cheers, Cplakidas ( talk) 23:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
"Buying votes" is a very loaded term and may hurt unjustly. If a mayor candidate promises to create more workplaces in the city, is this vote shopping or genuine concern for well-being? If Biruitorul promises to use more edit summaries with is edits, is this vote shopping or recognition of his drawback? Is their promise to not use his admin power in Romania-Moldova wikipedian wars if it will help to avoid possible tensions and accusations in taking sides possibly false but wasting everyone's energy - will it be a demonstration of goodwill or hypocrisy? Please notice that my vote of opposition (see its beginning) is not directly related to this promise. My opposition is related to my opinion that Biruitorul does not consider it in a proper way. I would understand if he started saying that no this promise would not help to defuse possible conflicts or that impartial admins are not much interested in this remote and not very important conflict area. Instead he chose to think in terms of himself, not in terms of wikipedia.
As you may know, I very rarely enter various wikipedia controversies. (I can list exactly 4 cases.) But I am starting to believe that Mikka's proposal has more merits than "admins open to recall" - The latter one is indeed turning into a "vote shopper tool", especially when people start putting various subjective conditions for recall and when recalled start wiggling out.

Don't mess with topics you have no idea about. If you ever lived in Moldova, it's clear you missed a lot of geography classes. Nobody uses the outdated concept of "Northern Bessarabian Plateau" nowadays, and there's no "Northern Moldovan Plain" in Romania. Xasha ( talk) 02:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I have nominated Bălţi Plain, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bălţi Plain. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.-- Moldopodo ( talk) 14:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Dc76, this is for your special efforts on behalf of Biru during his RfA. Though unsuccessful, your efforts on behalf of your friend were laudable and won my respect and admiration. For this I award you this Special Barnstar, which you very much deserve. All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk) 16:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC) |
While I rather doubt that what amounts to nearly the entire population of the capital managed to stuff itself into a single street back then, it is quite naive to call them all "frontists". I wonder if even 1/100 of the participants really knew what the gathering was about. -- Illythr ( talk) 21:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I did not reverted your edit on that page. Moreover, I left you a relevant note on the discussion page. I am supposed to edit only articles I have edited before. If I were to believe you, I shouldn't have edited any article on Wikipedia, because I did not contribute until a month ago. This is a free Encyclopedia. When you create an article in my area of interest you have no right to prevent me from editing it. If you don't want others to edit it, write in in your personal blog. It was not a random tag, and it was fully explained on the discussion page. Xasha ( talk) 20:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Xasha is correct in that the article is very POV. Should someone report it to AFD it'd probably get speedied. As it does cover a relatively important topic, I would suggest a heavy dePOV, starting with "martyrs of the faith" in the title. Using exclusively Romanian sources doesn't hdlp the POV, too. -- Illythr ( talk) 21:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
