Linkspam

If you look at the guidelines for external links, they are meant to be used to show the reader content that cannot easily be added into the article. Wikipedia is not a link repository. In the case of the external link I removed, it's clear that, were editors really sincere in avoiding someone's commercial benefit, the content can be integrated into the article, which is quite flimsy as is and in need of material. Finally, I suspect that the link was added by the author of the page himself, and the rules are very strict that one cannot link to sites that one is affiliated with.

I am surely not the author of the page. I am Romanian and Dl.goe stands for Domnul Goe. The link seemed to me a good example on what personal development articles are about. But I understand your arguments and changed the pages personal development and self-help as follows:

• Personal development
• Self-Help

I kept the chapter Self Help Texts and the second external link (to a Self-Help book), just to ask a second opinion, but maybe they should be removed too from Self-Help article.Dl.goe 09:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Tiraspol

Hi! The way you can solve problems like these is by citing reliable sources. I noticed you provided a Romanian source for the info about the Soviet tank, I think it would be better if you found a non-partisan source instead. Otherwise, we'd have to phrase the sentence as, "according to Romanian sources...". I think the picture looks better at the top of the article, as it's pretty much the only image we have of Tiraspol. If you could find others that would be good. I'll check out the discussion at the talk page. Cheers, Khoikhoi 20:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. Thanks for fixing that. It was an honest mistake. - Mauco 18:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Isolated violent incidents

I do not understand this edit remark: "please provide reference if you want to enter the word isolated" with regards to "violent incidents." The incidents are listed in the article (with references). There are very few, and they are spread out over a long period of time. They also did not happen in the whole country, but just in a few, specific points. If there were more, and if they happened all the time, all over the place, they would not be isolated. But they are precisely isolated because they are NOT frequent. Maybe English is not your first language, but please understand the difference between isolated and non-isolated, frequent, common, routine, etc. - Mauco 17:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

The word isolated implies a judgment and is a point of view. Can one draw a line between isolated and non-isolated? Which is this line? The violent incidents are listed, and so is the size of the region. The reader should judge whether they are isolated or not. I think NPOV includes presenting the facts without judging them.Dl.goe 17:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Tank& Lenin

Happy New Year to you too!

I guess you can count the votes of Vecrumba, Marius and Alex automatically. I'm interested to see how the others will react. --Illythr 00:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Dl.goe, happy new year. :-) I'll check it out. Khoikhoi 02:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

History of Transnistria

As I saw you are interested in Transnistria, please join History of Transnistria and share your thoughts about the sources we need. Also, please tell in Talk:Transnistria your thoughts about open issues.--MariusM 00:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Vote shopping, are we? Be careful with the company you keep, DI.goe, because in the future, this will reflect badly on you. - Mauco 00:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
