That's right. I didn't mean to cause any other impression. Neither did I want to question the existance of content in Cyrillic in general. I only wanted to point out that the discontentment with the current way Wikipedia handles this issue ought to be taken seriously.
Arbeo, your proposal was pretty on-the-spot. I think it reflected well the current situation in Moldova.
You probably don't know the history of the language well. In fact both
Romanian and Moldovans has been Orthodox Christians and used Cyrillic script for several ages.
I knew that the Cyrillic script had been used in Moldova before the Soviet era. I must admit that the fact that it has been used in Romania as well is completely new to me.
A modified version of the Cyrillic script was used in *parts* of present-day Romania until the 1800s. Transylvania never used this script. Wallachia and Moldavia, the other two historical regions, converted to Latin script after this time. So for around 150 years, Romanians have been writing in Latin script only. Outside of historical documents, the Cyrillic script is never seen anywhere in Romanian.
By the way, do you know much about the unfree days? They were not totally that "unfree".
:) Be more neutral. ;)
Of course I don't know so much about them for I grew up in Western Europe. What I do know is the way officials (not the people in general, of course!) treated us and other tourists during a visit in the Eastern Bloc (I could tell some appalling things but they don't belong here). I also remember how every how each and every letter we sent to friends at other side of the "Iron Curtain" (or that they sent to us) was opened and read by people for whom it was not intended. Or how there was a third person in every phone call. Or how the secret service stole Christmas or birthday gifts we sent to our friends.
The situation was pretty bad, I can tell you. I've heard of how Romania was before 1989, I don't know about Moldova, but from studying history, the Soviet Union was very unfree, and Moldova was further unfree because it went through an even more rigorous policy of "de-Romanianisation" and Russification. Many Russians, and Moldovenists (people that support a Moldovan ethnicity separate of Romanian) will tell you that "Moldovans wanted self-determination from Romania, they were never forced by the 'liberating' Soviet Union". Well, that's just propaganda.
