Hi there...
Although not Moldovian or Romanian, I would like to bring some "outsiders"
insight to this discusion that seems (to me) more of a political issue.
I recall the problem with the, then known, Serbo-Croat. It was very similar
writen in Latin and Cyrilic scripts. Today, by a strong degree of political
pressure, the language is refered as Croat in Croatia and Serb in Serbia. I
understand that Serb and Croat have some distinct diffrences but are largely
the some language writen in different scripts.
If this situation is similar to the ro and mo issue, then the mere fact that
Moldovian is the recognized and oficial language of a soveran state should
give it the right to existe as a seperated wiki.
But I not in for a dispute (I'm portuguese)

By any linguistic standards I speak the Moldovan dialect of
Romanian (with the accent). And I do it correctly. This fact alone
should allow me to participate in the vote and discussions. I can
even read and write using cyrillic script. Correctly. :)
Somehow I doubt you are able to read and write "correctly" in
Cyrillic.
Mark, I have some questions which I think you should answer before
anyone takes you seriously on this matter:
1. How old are you?
2. Where do you live?
3. Where were you brought up?
4. How many languages do you claim to speak?
5. How did you learn those languages?
