Gutza, the problem with such a solution is inequality of numbers. Every time this has been discussed previously, such forums have been dominated by Romanians from Romania with very little input from Moldovans and 0 input from Transnistrians. This is unfair and steps should be taken to remedy any systemic bias of this type. Although the solution of Milos of individuals or groups negotiating privately is not ideal, it seems to me better than rule-by-mob in which it will end up, as on the vote for closure of mo.wp, a battle of numbers between Russians and Romanians rather than a discussion of any substance between informed or involved parties with different views.

I've been watching the conversation on this topic from the bench. Milos, this is a highly sensitive issue, you can't tell "private parties" to settle this privately and come back with a solution -- this has to be settled in a public medium (if only for the consensus to be visible). I suggest a page on Meta, e.g. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2010_Decision_on_Moldovan_Wikipedia
