Де ла Википедия ын лимба молдовеняскэ

Contents

  • 1. There must be some regional/national differences between Romanian Romanian and Moldovian Romanian? That might merit a separate page on Romanian as it is used in Moldova.
  • 2. Certainly anything Moldovian in its relationship to the world at large deserves a treatment in Wikipedia under a Moldovian (mo.) entry, not under Romanian (ro.).

1. If you made this page, why not to make one in Aztek, Maya, Atlantis languages :) You must do it :) 2. Guys, Moldova had it's international identity code as MD not MO. Everything is wrong with your idea on this page :) Mda, world is full of "interesting" people :)

There is already a Wikipedia in the language of the Aztec. http://nah.wikipedia.org/
This Wikipedia is for the Moldovan language, not for the nation of Moldova. The ISO code for the Moldovan language is mo. NOT md. --Node ue 07:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Finally a fair solution! Did it really take that long a time to do, and was it really worth reverting my edits to the main page which would have implemented such a solution anyway? Anyway, it's done and that's great. Now you can add all the Cyrillic content you want. We reached a good compromise. That doesn't mean there still aren't outstanding issues, but the whole thing has become a lot fairer with this biscriptal main page. Ronline 07:55, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Very good solution. I'll try to make the page look nicer. Don't you think we should put Moldovenească (Română), or Moldovenească/Română? For the moment I won't add this, but I'd like to hear your opinion. --Danutz

It would look like this:

This is supposed to be of some intelectual value but instead the Moldovan Encyclopedia serves Stalinist interests in Chishinau and Tiraspol

Having a Moldovan encyclopedia would suggest that it is a sepparete language from Romanian which we cannot accept.

Cu respect Organizatia Romana Unionista

Sorry, the Romanian language written in Latin is a pure perversion imposed by 19th century's leaders of Vlach from today's Romania. The Romanian script is Cyrillic, and the Romanian faith is Orthodox. The Latin script you are trying so hard to impose on Moldova only serves the Vatican interests. That's the same they've done in Albania in the beginning of 20th century, and what they are doing in Serbia since 1918. Long love Cyrillic! Long live Romanian Cyrillic! Therefore, long live Moldavian Wikipedia, the only REALLY Romanian stuff on the net.

The Moldovan section of Wikipedia should be deleted

It is not normal to create a special Wikipedia section for the Moldovan language. There is no Australian English, nor American English or British English sections as all these - even though they have slight differences - are the same language: English. The only difference between Romanian and Moldovan is their name. All the rest is identical: grammar, vocabulary, alphabet, everything. In Moldova we use as reference Romanian language dictionaries edited in Romania. What i have learnt at lyceum ("Mircea Eliade" Lyceum) in Chisinau was Romanian language. The Moldovan language does not exist. We cannot consider the bad spoken Romanian language in combination with Russian slang words as the Moldovan language. All the documents in Moldovan Government are written in Romanian and in Russian (Russian is not a state language; at the moment when Russian was introduced as a state language, a sharp protest on the streets of Chisinau has begun so that in less than two weeks the decision was annulled). Romanian is used with the Romanian alphabet, and not the Cyrillic one. The Cyrillic alphabet was never specific to Romanian language, and even to the Romanian language in Moldova. After the fall of the USSR, Moldova has decided to return to the historically correct Romanian alphabet (the alphabet of Latin origins) and since there was never in discussion even the possibility of returning to the Cyrillic alphabet. It was introduced only to serve as a means of effacing the Romanian culture and traditions in Moldova. It was introduced only in the try to demonstrate that Moldovans and Romanians have developed isolated from each other. Romanian written with Cyrillic is an abnormality. All content related to Moldova should be included in the Romanian section of Wikipedia, that is ro.wikipedia.org. In my opinion mo.wikipedia.org should be deleted. At most a subsection of Romanian Wikipedia should be opened for the case when someone wants to insert content in Romanian written with Cyrillic alphabet (taking into account the works edited during the Moldovan SSR, after the Second World War till the Moldovan declaration of Independence and Sovereignty).

I compleetly agree with you guys :)

Unfortunately, I will have to remind you that Cyrillic WAS ALWAYS specific to Romanian language!!!! Until in 1950s some "genius" tried to impose the Latin script and "Rome" identity to Vlachs. Shameful. You have lost the Serbian Vlachs and Aromans already. Are you trying to lose the Moldavians? We are all Vlach, but you are somehow too persistant in the unification process under the Romulus + Remus + Lupoaica + Latin script + Roman name. Wrong. Cyrillic is ours. I will personally try to force the Cyrillic Vlach alphabet in Serbia officially. Long live Cyrillic, the only Romanian alphabet! therefore, long live Moldavian Wikipedia. Well good for you!

hahaha, I was just making the same arguments on the main cyrilik maldabanian site. I think we should do something about it. We should challange the neutrality of the entire "Maldavanian" Wikipedia.

how do u put the POV hand?

The guy who keeps this page up and going has clear Stalinist and anti-Romanian intentions since the NPOV thing to do would be to state loud and clear that Moldovan is nothing else but the Romanian language. If you go to the cyrilic page and look at the discussion there you will see how he argues with this guy over the language when its clear as the blue sky that "Maldavanian" does not exist as a language.

This page is rather an anti-Romanian propaganda page, it does not belong in a Wikipedia

It should be erased. I do not know how to put the POV template on but I will most certainly look into it. I think we should go even further and nominate the page for deletion.

about the Moldovan wiki ...

First of all, no Moldovan Wiki should be allowed to exist if it's ment to do propaganda for the stanilist regim. At the current time Romania/Russia are in peace.

A solution to this problem would be the deletion of the MO.Wiki, as people from the Republic of Moldova HAVE the choice to either enter ro.wiki for all their articles in .ro or tu join ru.wiki for all their articles in russian/cyrilic.

I'l go this days and request a deletion of this wikipedia. I can se that the romanians and the russians have the same opinion about this Wiki.

Compromise solution?

Hi, I dropped in on this page by one of my "random walks" on Wikipedia. Though I do not know much about the subject, and have not fine-read the above discussion, I would like to propose a compromise solution. I propose calling this Wikipedia Romanian (Cyrillic), or similar in Romanian. The abbreviation should be changed to ro-cy (or the appropriate Romanian name) instead of mo. While this is blatantly wrong, and probably a violation of the "no original research" that is at least consensus on English wikipedia, it should be a good solution because

  • many Romanians appear to be offended by someone calling the language spoken in Moldova "Moldovan". They should be able to accept this solution
  • I assume that some people may have migrated from Russia to Moldova in the Soviet era and learned "Moldovan" in Cyrillic. In addition, it appears to be the case that this is the way the language was taught in schools in the Soviet era; thus, some people may be more comfortabe writing or reading Cyrillic. Even if this is only a small group, and the script/language combination may not be around in seventy years or so, should we deny them their own Wikipedia?

I see the solution as something akin to the name of the "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia"; though a silly name, it appears to be an acceptable solution to both the Greek, who think Macedonia is in Greece, and the Macedonians, who want to call their country.. Macedonia. Okay, maybe a bad example, but you get the point? If I seem to ignore replies to this post, contact me here. en:User:Jørgen

Wikipedia should not become political

Moldavian is a dialact of the Romanian language - they're not identical. There are many Wikipedias in dialects such as Alemanic, a dialect of German. The decision of the - defintely not Stalinist - Moldavian government to use the cyrillic alphabet and the name "Moldavian Language" is political. But the decision to close the Moldavian Wikipedia is not less political - it is a supression of a dialect and a used form of the Romanian language. I support the remaining of the Moldavian Wikipedia, but in this Wikipedia, it should be clearly said, that the Moldavian is not a language but a dialect of Romanian and for political reasons the official language of Moldova. (-Ententeich-)

Yes, but:
  1. The standard version of Moldovan is virtually identical to Romanian, so the case is not comparable to German and Allemanic (it's like how in Switzerland, High German is the standard version).
  2. In Moldova, the Latin alphabet is actually official. The Moldovan government has not used the Cyrillic alphabet since the fall of the USSR.
However, a version in Moldavian dialect, which is also spoken in the Moldavia region of Romania, may not be a bad idea. There is just no standard form and, unlike, say, Alemannic or Samogitian, there are no publications in Moldavian dialect to follow as a standard. Ronline 11:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

The so-called Moldovan language is not a dialect in the sense Allemanic and German are, but in the Romanian sense of "grai". Grai means "speech", and that reffers to the accent, and surtenly not to the written form. So there is no need for such a version. Besides, there is no support to found such an Wikipedia by native speakers of the language. The domain mo.wikipedia.org was created following the ISO codes, when a sereies of Wikipedias were created, without asking for support from native speakers. But the Wikipedia policy asks a new language version to be discussed before launch. We cannot create a Wikipedia just for fun, if we donnot have contribuitors for it. We could not find support for such a Wikipedia from Moldovans, because the existence of Moldovan language is limitated to the constitution and a small numbers of official papers. In schools the langauge is called Romanian. In the Internet too. The Moldovan Academy of Sciences (the official regulator of the state language of Moldova) uses the term Romanian, and it doesn't recognise the term Moldovan. Ethnologue doesn't have a code for Moldovan. Also there is a law that still applies in Moldova stating that Romanian and Moldovan are identical (the law concerning the use of languages from September 1989; according to the Constitution that law still applies).

But most important. Native speakers don't ask for a Moldovan version of Wikipedia. --Danutz

What is it with you guys? It seems like Ronline is the only one from ro.wp who is not absolutely obsessed with repeating over and over again mindlessly "blah blah blah identical blah blah blah blah blah" like a robot, using bold letters.

Greetings from Iceland

Бунер зиуа! Мер нуметс Jati and I am from Iceland. I am studying Moldovian, and yeah, I read and laughed at these comments. Why are people so mad at a wiki in Moldovian? I mean, Moldovian is just another language, that happens to be similar to Romanian but in the cyrillic alphabet. Besides, there is a seperate country too, I know if I was Moldovian i would be mad to to have to use the Romanian one, and having a Moldovian wikipedia is a sense of international pride and respect.

Yeah, I dont fully understand the crisis as I don't live there, but I did visit Chisnau once and it is a beautiful city. That is why I an studying Moldovian, although my spelling is not good. I will help out with this Wikipedia in geography, countries, and whatever else I can do :)

Hey, why do you make such a problem? If some people wish to support Moldovan version of Wikipedia, just let them do that! Anyone who doesn't like it or doesn't wish to admit the existence of Moldovan language (despite the fact that it was approved by the government of Moldova as an official language) is free to choose another version of Wiki (mostly adherents of ro version). Just use the version you like and don't impede those who want to support this language resource.

let us make it clear for all idiots: moldoveneasca is just a dialect of romanian just like australian is a dialect of english. and for the moron from Iceland: look who's talking about ignorance. you really need to do an urgent iq upgrade.

Disconnect between Moldovan public opinion and opinion of editors of this page

There is a disconnect not only between the Moldovan public and the people editing this page, but even between at least what the English-language Wikipedia says about Moldovan as opposed to Romanian. While, in the aftermath of 1991, there was some speculation that Moldova and Romania would become closer or even merge, this never happened. Moves toward adopting Romanian symbols in Moldova were reversed. To quote the Moldova article on the English Wikipedia:

However, the initial enthusiasm in Moldova was tempered and starting in 1993, Moldova started to distance itself from Romania. The constitution adopted in 1994 used the term "Moldovan language" instead of "Romanian" and changed the national anthem to Limba noastră. The 1996 attempt by Moldovan president Mircea Snegur to change the official language to "Romanian" was dismissed by the Moldovan Parliament as "promoting Romanian expansionism".

Unless we're prepared to argue that the Moldovan parliament is some kind of insane body out of touch with Moldovans, we have to assume that they represent the views of Moldovans "in the street" pretty well. At the risk of making this a considerably more pointed comment than simply laying out the disparity between the Wikipedia article and this deletion, I suspect that the reason that we see almost unanimous support for deleting the Moldovan page on Wikipedia is that Romanians, as generally wealthier than their Moldovan compatriots, have more access to the Internet. Or at any rate Moldovans haven't yet discovered Wikipedia. That's not a reason to delete a page for a language which is recognized as separate at least by a nation-state--of which it is the official language.

I don't think it's appropriate for Romanians to come in and call for the deletion of the Moldovan page on the grounds that it's the same language any more than Russians should be able to go onto the Ukrainian wikipedia and insist that it's just a peasant dialect of Russian. Linguists may debate about whether Moldovan is a language or a dialect, but let's face it, the supports of this page's deletion are playing politics, not engaging in an academic enterprise. As the parliament pointed out, discounting the Moldovan language in effect, if not in intent, promotes a political platform of union of Romania and Moldova. And that's not the position of a majority of Moldovans. I think it would be wrong to let vocal Romanians destroy Moldovan Wikipedia because it suits their ideological prejudices. Unfortunately, voices of reason here seem to be in short supply...

Could we perhaps call for some kind of arbitration? I'm unfamiliar with the procedure for this.

--James Honan-Hallock 17:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Although your statment may stem from noble intentions, I believe that you are not fully informed of the details of this dispute. The fact that the Moldovan government calls the language Moldovan does not mean that it IS distinct from Romanian, nor does it mean that they perceive it as such. Various high-level officials, including the former minister of education, Beniuc stated that although the prefered name for the language in Moldova is Moldovan, it is in fact Romanian. The body that regulates the usage of the official language in Moldova calls it Romanian. In various official documents that mention the official language, the term Romanian is often used. What I am trying to say is that first of all there is no scientific debate as to whether the literary forms of Moldovan and Romanian are the same, and second that the Moldovan government accepts this fact to a great extent. As for the political implications you mentioned, I agree that they should not have a bearing on the discussion, but that goes in both directions. The fact that the linguistic commonality of the two lands provides supports the position of unionists should be used as a factor in evaluating the validity of the initial point. I also disagree with you that the majority of Moldovans view Moldovan and Romanian to be separate, in fact the latest polls and the census show the opposite. I myself am Moldovan (by nationality), and although my opinions might be shaped by personal biases, I believe that the position I presented here would be accepted by the majority in Moldova. About your question regarding what processes are available to resolve the dispute, there is a discussion on the topic at meta:Proposals_for_closing_projects. Vania tractoristu 02:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I will assume good faith in James Honan-Hallock.
The reason for the conflict here is simple: There is no Moldovan editor on the entire wikipedia. To be more precise, all wikipedia editors that can contribute in "Moldovan language" say that they speak Romanian, not Moldovan, and have no interest in contributing here.
The pages you see here are a heaven for trolls of various denominations. Dpotop 16:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
