Hello GerardM,
Accusing Bogdan of trolling is utter nonsense.
And, to cite you, I've had my fill with this nonsense
too often.
As to your "arguments":
Of course, the Soviet Union managed to create an ISO
code for Moldovan. Still, the language is regulated by
the Moldovan Academy, which states that standard
Moldovan is identical with standard Romanian.
Don't invent your nice world full of endangered
minorities. Moldovans are not a minority in Moldova,
nor intend to unite with "Imperialist Romania". So,
the Moldovan Academy is doing its job without external
pressure.

shows quite clearly
that under both ISO-639-1/2/3 there is a code for
Moldavian. To
complicate this
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=mol
does nor agree with this sentiment. So nobody gets
it right, not even
the organisation that maintains ISO-639-3.
We have had our fill with this nonsense too often.
Mark is correct where
he says that the language is not the country. The
Dutch language is just
one example where the name does not imply that
everyone who speaks Dutch
as his or her mother tongue is Dutch. Bogdan your
argument does not
wash. When you mention trolling, I wonder when you
looked last in a
mirror. Anyway the best you can do is ignore. That
may be kinda hard but
consider, if this project stinks, anyone
knowledgeable will be able to
sniff it out personally. Then again, roses grow best
on dung.
Thanks,
GerardM

Yes, it has been discussed this before: it's not
standard Moldovan,
as used by the government of Moldova. So why is
it
at the mo subdomain?
Shouldn't it be at
mo-cyr.wikipedia.org ?
I think that's the main point of disagreement and
both Moldovans and
Romanians disagree with the current state.
Anyway, Mark, what do you want to do with this
encyclopedia? I don't
that in the last six months it got *any* new
original content, despite
the thousands of trolling edits by numerous
sock-puppets of Romanian,
Russian, Bulgarian, Greek, American and possibly
Georgian origin.
