  • Just one question though... @Dahn: I see the ALT2 fact in the article's lede ("Touring the Budjak subregion, he had a major contribution in canvassing Gagauz votes for Romania's far-right groups.") but can't easily find the info in the relevant section of the article. Where is it? BorgQueen (talk) 06:32, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
    • @BorgQueen: Please search the text for "massive support" (without the quote marks, though), which is part of a direct quote (mention of his canvassing is scattered across several other paragraphs, but that quote should anchor the more relevant part). Dahn (talk) 06:53, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
