[edit] Ethnic

Hehe, Olahus, take a look at what Britannica writes in Moldova:Ethnic composition: The Moldovans, who ethnically are kindred to the Romanians... ;-) --Illythr (talk) 18:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

1) Olahus, your "Nationality versus Ethicity" thing is your original research. Please adhere to the same sourcing policy you demand from your fellow editors. 2) 1924 (when the idea of a separate Moldovan identity first surfaced) was not yet in Stalinist era (see the article Moldovenism). The US library of Congress source omits this, preferring to focus on Stalin's name instead. It doesn't say anything about the notion's origins, only that Stalin used it. 3) As for your latest addition of "sometimes... otherwise" - c'mon, this is getting silly. This thing is official in Moldova no matter how much you or whoever else doesn't like it. Voronin makes a point of it, and as long as he's in charge - it stays. Maybe in 2009 this will change, but for now it is so. --Illythr (talk) 19:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
