  • ... that in June 1946 Nikita Salogor called for expanding the borders of Soviet Moldavia (territorial claims pictured), which may explain why he was removed from his position as Moldavian leader in July? Salogor's full report to Stalin on expanding the borders, its context, and the authors' theory that this is why Salogor was fired, in Cașu, Igor; Pâslariuc, Virgil (2010).

  • 5x expansion. New enough, long enough. It is sourced. The hook needs reworking (tightening). Perhaps an alternate hook. I also suggest copy-editing the article further. Nice work. --evrik (talk) 04:32, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
  • @Evrik: Thanks, Evrik. Could you suggest a tighter hook and explain what sort of copyediting is needed? Dahn (talk) 06:32, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Alt1 ... that Moldavian leader Nikita Salogor called for expanding the borders of Soviet Moldavia in 1946 (territorial claims pictured), which may be why he was removed as leader later that year? --evrik (talk) 20:37, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
  • It passes, but the prose is rather dense. I have suggested a new hook, but this removes me from approving this. --evrik (talk) 20:37, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Passes as noted by evrik above. Alt1 hook sounds good. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 22:31, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
