2 things as well:

If your language is called "Romanian", as you contend in the topic
line, why do you care about the Moldovan WP? You can't have your cake
and eat it too.

Also, the name of the holiday is not "Our romanian language", it's
just "Our Language", there is very specifically no mention of the name
because this is controversial. Same with the national anthem - not
once does it mention Moldova, Moldovan, Romania, or Romanian, although
it does talk a lot about the beauty of the language. Also it does not
mention alphabets.
