[Wikipedia-l] Moldovan wikipedia?

Well, it's not frozen.
An anonymous IP (I suspect it's Mark, a.k.a. User:Node_ue) and the belarussian Gabix are creating loads of two-line pages to prove that there is activity there.  Again, a political stunt, like those that made me write against this wikipedia after checking that Moldovans themselves are against it (or at best neutral, but never supporting or editing).

Cheers,

Even though this in itself is not a particularly good reason against closing
down the Moldovan Wikipedia, the Cyrillic script for Moldovan is very much a
relic of the Cold War. This can be seen by the fact that Latin was
introduced in Moldova right after the Cold War. Transnistria itself can be
seen as relic of the Cold War - it's government still glorifies the symbols
of the USSR and Communism.

But, anyway, it's been agreed (see Anthere's message) that the Moldovan
Wikipedia should be frozen for any editing.
