Boodlesthecat's sock Malik Shabazz

Hello. At least six ArbCom members agree that there is no evidence that Boodles and I are related accounts, but you described me as Boodles' sock. Would you do me a favor and edit that? Thanks. — ] (] · ]) 00:07, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that; I misread the proposal in my haste to finish authoring my notes.
I've adjusted the text in question as requested.

Moldova articles under nationalist attacks

Really, User:Dc76 is trying so hard to impose the nationalist Romanian view on Moldova, that I think it'll soon demand the merging of the article about Moldova to that about Romania. He's already began, by linking the prehistoric phase of Moldova to Prehistoric Romania at thsi template. Note also the strong nationalistic overtones: The 1917 Moldovan Democratic Republic that half of it's life claimed to be part of Russia is now included under "Union with Romania", and even Greater Romania is linked in that template (that would be like putting the article British Empire in the US history template), while the MASSR and MSSR are put under "Soviet occupation", even if nobody else than Soviets ever claimed MASSR and that MSSR was on territory designated as Soviet by the 1947 Paris Peace treaties (unlike the Baltics!). Also he forcefully integrates two separated geographical regions at thsi article, even if the article says that the term used by Romanians doesn't extend in Moldova (and there's no such Moldovan region under that name, which the article fails to mention). Also see an equally nationalist interpretation of both countries geographies at here, noting also that except headers, most of the text is written in Romanian. The example can continue, but it would mean me to provide you a lot of historical info on Moldova that I'm not sure you're willing to know. He's also really destroying articles about Moldova: just look at Moldova: he added a huge fragment of text about the 1990-2004 era that fails WP:MOSS and has serious POV problems like the joining two ethnic groups to make a point "In the 2004 population census, first since independence, of the 2,638,125 Moldovans and Romanians (78.3% of the country's population)" and much more (I could present them you, but again, this would mean a quite long presentation of Moldova - that I am willing to do if you accept). Also, at Moldovenism he copied large tracts of text from other wiki articles thus creating an anachronic article, since the AfD for that article established that "moldovenism" is a neologism used by Romanian critical of independent Moldova exclusivley when talking about the positions of post-Soviet Moldovan gvt (never about Soviet policies in the region). This is clealry tendentious editing, and with no other Moldovan editors, Dc76 will make Misplaced Pages articles about Moldova present only a Romanian textbook version (actually a version found in some outdated nationalist textbook, since no current Romanian textbook joins separate geographical regions for the sake of making a point).Xasha (talk) 17:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
