Hoi,
Either the information is correct, and given that it is said to be
information from the Romanian language Wikipedia it should be both
correct and NPOV. If it is not correct or NPOV, /both/ the Romanian and
the Moldovian language Wikipedia are to be considered problematic. All
the rest is very much politics, posturing and intransigence.
I am sure that this continued existence is best ignored. Consider you
are either a party to this dispute or you could not care less. When the
argument is that the mo wikipedia is occupied by trolls, remember they
thrive by getting attention.
Thanks,
GerardM
