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,
