[edit] Your changes

Salut domnul 24.201.83.39,

I have some things I would like to say to you.

  1. When two separate users keep reverting your edits, and nobody is reverting back to your version except for you, you're really between a rock and a hard place.
  2. When a page is in the middle of a careful ceasefire by two different parties, it's unwise to step in and make such changes as you have.
  3. When something has been discussed for quite some time and a consensus or compromise version has finally been reached, it's not OK to make such drastic and obviously controversial modifications. If you have something new to add to the discussion, you're welcome to do so on the Talk: page, but if you don't, please leave the content page alone.
  4. Although my record may not be entirely spotless, I have been a registered user here since November of 2003, and I contributed anonymously as early as October 2001. I have a good track record in editing pages regarding languages and linguistics, and I would at least like to think of myself as a member of the en.wikipedia linguistics community (along with Chris Sundita and a few others). You, on the other hand, have not yet registered, and you've only been contributing since May 25th of this year. A substantial number of your edits are reversions or borderline vandalism. You are also the creator of the article Anti-Romanianism which even patriotic Romanians haven't been willing to defend so far and which has been challenged for POV, references, and factual accuracy. At least 50% of your edits are immediately or almost immediately reverted, and not by a single user, but by a number of different users (Chris and I on the moldovan language article, others on various other articles including but not limited to Russification). Essentially, my credibility is better than yours, so if you "report me for vandalism", you're not going to be able to take advantage of the system as you may've hoped.
