You mean to add "Wikipedia:" in front? I am not sure I fully understand the WP rules regarding naming, the objection and how to resolve it. Obviously, I'd support 100% adding "Wikipedia:" in front of the name or smth similar.:Dc76 13:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
A question from someone who has no idea
If this page is not dead I have a question: what does an average Moldovan think about independence of Republic of Moldova? I know what did the official referendum showed in 1994, but I couldn't find out clear reasons for the outcome. Can somebody explain/expand? Thanks Nergaal (talk) 14:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

- That referendum and recent opinion polls show that the majority of Moldovans wish to remain independent. There are many reasons for this. First of all, Bessarabia has been separated from Moldavia since 1812 with a few exceptions, so the region was never influenced by the Romanian unification movement and Romanian nationalism as the Regat. Then Bessarabia has only been part of Romania for a very brief period between the Two World Wars and that did not have a very lasting effect on the region. In fact, some people did not have a very pleasant experience during this period, either because they resented the changes of the period or felt that they were treated as inferior. Finally, the Soviet period, played a huge role in affecting the views of most Moldovans, as all passed through its education system, which also included a healthy dose of propaganda about the Moldovan identity and the "crimes of the Romanians". As a result, after the break-up of the USSR, most Moldovans after having lived in the USSR all (or at least most of) their lives, did not really feel Romanian, and also felt a certain kind of hostility towards the country based on Soviet indoctrination. Furthermore, Romania's economic situation was almost as bad as that of Moldova during that period, and many people felt it would be disadvantageous for them to join Romania.
