This is what would reasonably happen, Mark. In my
opinion, of course.
Currently people "give a damn" because it represents incorreclty Moldova.
Personally, I cannot stand when my country is represented n'*importe comment

We don't use this writing, Mark. Apart from exceptions, nowhere. This
writing, for all areas of life, is a reality of the past. And do not try to
discredit my words stating that "he is not in Moldova". I lived my whole
life in Moldova, which makes, roughly, 20 years. I read news. I return to
Moldova at least one time per year. I know what happens there. We don't use
this writing. Other Moldovans that are currently in Moldova could easily
backup this.
If you want to write articles, I have nothing against it. Moving all you
have done on
would in no way
interrupt your work. And your work would cease disturbing people
concerned.
But enough on this. Let's see the way the current
Is that a threat?
Why should anyone "give a damn" now? What reason is there for people
to not just ignore it and work on the Romanian Wikipedia? Really,
there is no good reason. Any good Wikipedian should focus on fixing
articles, writing new articles, etc., instead of fussing about
something like this.
I just want to write articles, but you and your friends insist on
interrupting.
