[edit] Moldova/Republic of Moldova

Hi! I noticed you changed a lot of instances of Moldova to Republic of Moldova. There are two problems with this. The first is that the page is at Moldova, not Republic of Moldova. Because of this, we should be consistent with that title throughout all of Wikipedia. If you disagree with the title, you're more than welcome to make a comment at Talk:Moldova. The second point is that this is this is English Wikipedia, and the most common meaning of "Moldova" is the country. So, until the page is renamed, I don't think it's a very good idea to link to redirect. Cheers, Khoikhoi 22:41, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Harghita County

Nice work. - Jmabel | Talk 18:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation needed

Hello. Good work on rephrasing the sentences from articles, many of them sound better now. I noticed you put in a lot of 'citation needed' markings in several articles. You may want to use Template:Fact or other related templates in order to show the article requires citation.

And please, try not to break paragraph spacing. Paragraphs are separated by two end-of-line characters in the source. Good luck and keep it up! - Andrei 14:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lucretiu Patrascanu

I don't see a pressing problem here, although the edit summary was more assertive than perhaps was warranted. The diacritics do seem to be appropriate, and it is almost certainly easier to re-insert the textual changes than the diacritics. I left a friendly note on User talk:Dahn, but he seems to be a contributor with a long history of decent contributions, so I advise you assume good faith and take it at face value. I see no evidence that Dahn will be unwilling to engage in civil discussion about any given edits. My experience of Romanian articles is that you need a large stack of WP:CALM pills before going anywhere near them, there have been many notorious trolls engaging in highly disruptive editing of these articles, and the one thing that's guaranteed to start a war is taking any particular editorial action personally.
