Revision as of 13:54, 19 October 2006
Jamason, for your dissertation you should check out the essays on this page: http://artofwar.ru/janr/index_janr_21-1.shtml
It contains first-hand accounts for many of the fighters who participated in the 1992 war of Transnistria. In particular, the texts show the strength of feeling of community, and how this is an internationally-oriented patriotic sentiment which crosses the ethnic and national divides.
It should be required reading for those who claim that the conflict is "economic" or "fuelled only by elites," something which completely misses the point. - Mauco 15:28, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Smirnov
I have also greatly enjoyed our discussion. Good luck with your dissertation. TSO1D 00:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Ditto here! I would enjoy seeing you more active on Misplaced Pages in the future. Not just on the Smirnov page, but in general. - Mauco 13:19, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Transnistria talk page
As I heard you made some studies about Transnistria, please join Transnistria talk page where is a dispute between me and Mauco on this topic. Thanks.--MariusM 09:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
If you know Romanian, you may find this link http://ro.altermedia.info/politica/conflictul-transnistrean-vzut-de-un-transnistrean_4421.html interesant for your studies about Transnistria.--MariusM 11:00, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Your dissertation
Is your dissertation about Transnistria available somewhere on-line? I would like to read it, as I am interested also in the Soviet (especially Moldovan) politics and about Transnistria. If your work is not on-line I would appreciate if you can e-mail me the relevant parts about Transnistria. We may discuss further this kind of issues. Thanks.--MariusM 14:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
14th Army, PMR 1992
John, I just sent you an excerpt from http://www.moerike.net/Andrea/Abstract%20-%20Military%20as%20Political%20Actor.pdf and some fascinating "insider" Nixon Center information. Enjoy! - Mauco 16:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
vandalism
Hi Bhadani: I think this (http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:71.102.196.123) was a mistake. I was editing my own userpage, I just hadn't remembered to sign in (i.e. definitely not vandalism). Thanks! Jamason 21:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Jamsin, fine. I deleted the page so that unnecessary conclusions may not be drawn at a future date. Have a nice time, and all the best! --Bhadani 01:18, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Original research
Keep reading the guidelines and the policies. The main one: Verifiability. I think that you are more than in clear with your work (and more so than 95% of everyone else who contribute here), BUT if you still have a specific concern, then come see me and let us work on fixing it together. You know that I've sent you sources in the past, and I am sure that in the future I will be able to find the sources to support what you say and thus avoid the charge of original research. After all, it is not as if you are making any outrageous or exceptional claims which are not substantiated by the source material... - Mauco 01:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Transnistria, use of your name
Another editor made the following change in the opening para of the main Transnistria article, claiming that this was done after talking to you:
- "The unrecognised state made a declaration of independence in September 2, 1990, and gradually imposed its power at most of pretended teritorry through a campaign of intimidation and forced eviction of Moldova's loyalist civil servants."
In the changelog we can see that he says that this phrasing is the result of discussions with you ....Not so sure, however, as he has a history of lying and deceiving in the past. That is why I thought that I would check with the person whose good name is being used. You can either answer directly or else on the Transnistria Talk-page where I have also raised my concern. Or, if you prefer, just email me like you did yesterday. - Mauco 02:22, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- I responded on Transnistria's talk page. The conversation to which he is referring is also on that page under the title "de facto independence" (you are already familiar with it since you took part). I may not have made my objections to the changes clear enough at that time, or he may not have intended to imply that I agreed to the changes, only that we discussed them. Either way, I offered an alternative that might be acceptable to all three of us. Jamason 04:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to give us all such a detailed and well considered reponse. This is a good opportunity to clean up an opening section which has suffered for the past several years of the "too many cooks in the kitchen" syndrome. I have made a suggestion on the Talk page of Transnistria. I hope that you see things the same way and will second my proposal. - Mauco 05:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Comments on your thesis
Just to informe you that I sent through e-mail my comments on your dissertation.--MariusM 13:04, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi
There are archives for this. Its not a subect anyone is overly interested in and a queiry on the same subject matter could raise eyebrows.
A tad far for you to travel I'd guess.
Take a look at the tragedy of the 'wine blockade' and how it hurts everyone.
Looks like the Americans are going to buy the wine en-masse so it may be solved.
similar story in PMR but no breakthrough
- Alan, I don't understand Mark's comment at all. Do you? I am mildly sympathetic to Tiraspol Times but this paragraph is not constructive at all. I don't get it. Is he critical of you because you are American? Remember that on your own user page and talk page, you are in control. Just clean out what you don't consider helpful. - Mauco 23:37, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed! Luckily other inquiries have been more fruitful. Asking Mr. Street was something of a shot in the dark, but this was an unexpected response. Jamason 04:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Marakutsa
Would you agree that Grigore Mărăcuţă can be considered one of the founding fathers of the PMR and/or that played an instrumental part in its proclamation? If so, would you also agree that this is one of his defining characteristics or at least important enought that it should be mentioned in his Misplaced Pages encyclopedia entry? I thought so, based on my own understanding of the situation, but I would like another opinion on the matter too. My entry to this effect has repeatedly been deleted by another user (someone who has a Romanian nationalist viewpoint and goes by the handle of "MariusM"), even with the usage of misleading edit summaries. - Mauco 13:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
