Introduction section

The introduction in this 'wiki' on the Moldova-Transnistria conflict is contradictory. It opens by stating that fighting broke out in November, 1992. It then goes on to state that fighting intensified in March of 1992 and a ceasefire was agreed in July of the same year. These two events - intensification and ceasefire - are written as taking place prior to when initial fighting broke out. I have conducted research on this conflict and would argue that it was in March, 1992, that the conflict broke out, and July, 1992, when ceasefire was agreed (Sanchez, 2009). Intensification can be argued as happening in the months during the short conflict. If the author who cited conflict beginning in November, 1992, can put forward a citation to prove otherwise that'd be great. But, otherwise it should be regarded as starting in March, 1992.

Thanks for pointing this out! Someone changed the date from 1990 to 1992 a week ago and you are apparently the first to notice. --illythr (talk) 19:31, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal to Russian Irregulars

Anyone know who issued a televised appeal to Russian citizens to come fight for Transnistria during 1992? The claim needs a citation and I would be interested to verify this claim. In general, the citations are sparse in this article. jamason (talk) 18:38, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There wasn't such appeal. I delete this information simply because it is not true. If somebody is going to insist, show a proof. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Balalayker (talk • contribs) 08:41, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Casualty figures

I can see that the reporting of casualty figures here relies a lot on sources with links to the waring parties (Russian and Moldovian sources). Are there any UN statistics for these figures? I removed the uncited civilian casualties figures already and added the Uppsala Conflict Data Program's low and high estimates for at least one non-biased total figure.Wareditor2013 (talk) 12:11, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

War?

Was it a war? I am not sure about the definition, but it was always referred to as an "armed conflict" around here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qeek (talk • contribs) 07:24, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Leaders?

It is only fit that if the Romanian president appears as "belligerent leader", Boris Yeltsin appears as a "belligerent leader" as well, especially since the Russian involvement in this conflict is much better documented and much heavier than the Romanian one. 67.87.145.157 (talk) 16:01, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Iliescu was added along with Kravchuk by an anonymous editor without explanation. Kravchuk was removed later, so I removed Iliescu: No source, no mention in the article. Russian involvement rests solely on Lebed', whereas the Romanian one was limited to an indirect supporting role unfit for listing in that infobox section.--illythr (talk) 20:28, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
