Elena

My proposal? What proposal? I just changed Stefan cel Mare to Stephen III of Moldavia and I added that Elena was a Moldavian princess. The rest of the info was already there. --Candide, or Optimism 14:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So what's the point of your changes? How do they improve the article? --Ghirla | talk 14:11, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was agreed that we use that name version of Ştefan cel Mare (see the article talkpage). In addition to that, I thought it would be good to say that the princess was Moldavian. You usually mention that in articles. King X married a Princess X of whatever. --Candide, or Optimism 14:14, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is said that she was "of Moldova". Is that not enough? --Ghirla | talk 14:22, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to remove that part. The English name for the principality is Moldavia, so to not confuse with Republic of Moldova. Moldova should be replaced with Moldavia. --Candide, or Optimism 14:26, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see the agenda behind your edits now. Let's replace "Moldova" with "Moldavia" then. No need to repeat the toponym several times in one sentence. --Ghirla | talk 14:27, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, done. And agenda or not, it's true: the English name for the principality is Moldavia. --Candide, or Optimism 14:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So is the Russian name :) --Ghirla | talk 14:34, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
