"So called Moldovan language" and romanian

Hello Preacher King of Mao!

You are right! There is no Moldovan language! is a soviet invention! but there are some russian there who edit and revert this thing! maybe you can help us.

The truth is that "Moldovan" doesn't exist. It's about romanian with a different name. The fact is that is identical with romanian. Romanian is a latin language like french, italian, spanish, portuguese. The Soviet propaganda and the russians experts since 1812 tried to make a difference on political reasons. Even internationally at the most official level is recognized that "so called moldovan" is nothing else but romanian. [[1]] Please feel free to express your opinion!  Bonaparte  talk & contribs

Warning

Next time you do something like with Moldovan language, you will be blocked for vandalism. BTW, Bonaparte lies: in 1812 there was no sch thing as "Moldovan language". mikka (t) 22:51, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I assume that you are simply have no wikipedia experience, rather than a frolicking troll, so I am spelling it to you: By replacing the article with a redirect you deleted a huge amount of information and work of dozens of people. Wikipedia is not a playground and somebody else may be less tolerant to an irresponsible behavior. mikka (t) 23:13, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

He has Wikipedia expierience, an I am personally supporting of his actions. There's a revert war going on there. One of the versions is POV, one is factionally inaccurate. The entire thing would be better off as a redirect, as it originally was. - Kookykman|(t)(c)

You both are entitled to your opinions, but this was wrong way to put it forth. This is my last comment on the topic; see you in two years when you grow up. mikka (t) 02:54, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

they use abusive and illegal measures

These are the arguments posted on the page of "Moldovan language".

For these facts many users have been blocked and more forced to accept an unilateral point of view of the Administrator Mikkalai and 16 years old Kid Node ue. He does not bring arguments as we do, instead he uses his power to block many times (for one week or 24 h). Like for yourself, he warned you and mock on you saying that you don't have the right to say something.

I agree with you when you say to redirect to "Romanian language". Anyway "Romanian" was once recognized in the constitution as official language of the Moldova between 1991-1994 and many attempts to remake this were done.

"Moldovan language" is in fact indentical with Romanian language, renamed as a "language" for political reasons by the government. Although similar theories have been fielded for other languages, this proposal is now believed to have been made to serve political purposes only, and nobody has provided any evidence so-far towards the idea that Moldovan and Romanian are not from common linguistic stock.

The term "Moldovan" is also a soviet invention (see Dept. of State & CIA). A separate language based on these was declared and promoted for political reasons, in order to further advance a Moldovan identity separate from that of Romania.

The soviet Russians called people of Moldavia Republic: "Moldovan" because they wanted to create a new nation different from Moldavians/Romanians.

There is also in Romania a region called Moldova.

Russians manipulated people of Republic of Moldova and washed their brains to create a new person, the soviet "Moldovan". The real name in English is Moldavian, in Romanian is Moldovean and in Russian is Molidavanin. So "Moldovan" belongs to no language!

Artificial creation of the "Moldavian language". Evolution from Romanian to so called Moldavian

Lately were discovered some facts that prove that the theory of the both languages romanian and "moldovan" - was prefab since the 1812-1918. Some important aspects of the problematics: functioning of the romanian language in the sphere of the laic education system from Bessarabia of the year 1812-1918, the attempts to codyfing the romanian language in conditions of a linguistic situations, causes that determined to degradation of the language compared with spoken romanian on the right side of the river Prut, taking out the name "romanian" and introducing the term "limba moldoveneasca", the intention of the tsarist government "to create a dialect neared to the slavic language".

In the first years of russian occupation (after 1812), because 95% of the population being romanians which they knew only their mother tongue, romanian was admitted as an official language in the institutions of Bessarabia, used along with russian. Gradually the russian language win importance. According to the dates offered by the Dept. for ruling the Bessarabia from 1828, the papers from bureau were held only in russian, and around 1835 it is established a term of 7 years time in which the state institutions will still accept acts in romanian language. As concerning the education, romanian was admitted as language of teaching only until 1842, after that being taught as a separate object. Thus, at the theological Seminar of Chişinău, romanian language is found on the list of compulsory subjects, with 10 hours weekly, until 1863, when the department of romanian is closed for good. At the highschool no. 1 from Chişinău the pupils had the right to choose between romanian and german or between romanian and greek until 9th of Feb. 1866, when the state counselor of the russian government interdicts teaching of the romanian language because the pupils "know this language in the practical mode, and its teaching follows other goals". Around 1871, the tsar published an ucaz "On the suspension of teaching the romanian language in the schools from Besserabia", because "In russian Empire are not taught local speeches".

Two examples of the identity were given: (one is from the constitution of both countries – see the identity)

Comparison Romanian/Moldavian

The example below demonstrates that a formal text in Romanian and Moldovan may be completely identical, the only difference being the spelling of the î vowel in the word vântul. The colloquial languages show more difference, which varies over the area.

Moldavian	Romanian	English
Vocala este un sunet din vorbirea omului, făcut cu trecerea sonoră, liberă şi fără piedică, a vîntului prin canalul sonor (compus din coardele vocale şi întreaga gură) sau un semn grafic care reprezintă un atare sunet.	Vocala este un sunet din vorbirea omului, făcut cu trecerea sonoră, liberă şi fără piedică, a vântului prin canalul sonor (compus din coardele vocale şi întreaga gură) sau un semn grafic care reprezintă un atare sunet.	The vowel is a sound in human speech, made by the sonorous, free and unhindered passing of the air through the sound channel (composed of the vocal chords and the whole mouth) or a graphic symbol corresponding to that sound.
Aşa bunăoară, avem şase vocale ce se fac cu vîntul ce trece prin gură, unde limba poate să se afle într-un loc sau altul şi buzele pot să stea deschise un soi sau altul.	Aşa bunăoară, avem şase vocale ce se fac cu vântul ce trece prin gură, unde limba poate să se afle într-un loc sau altul şi buzele pot să stea deschise un soi sau altul.	This way, we have six vowels that are produced by the air passing through the mouth, where the tongue can be in one place or another and the lips can be opened in one way or another.
Vocalele pot să fie pronunţate singure sau împreună cu semivocale sau consoane.	Vocalele pot să fie pronunţate singure sau împreună cu semivocale sau consoane.	The vowels can be pronounced alone or together with semivowels or consonants.

Second example is taken from the Constitution of Moldova and Romania. The identity is more than obvious.

As you can obvious see from these examples they are identical. We speak here about one language. But they Mikkalai and Node ue don't accept such examples and they constantly delete them without any argument. They delete them because the examples demonstrates all …

AmE-4 or 5?

I made a template almost just like tours about AmE. Who came up with it first I was wondering. schyler 19:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Urgent, LordRevan

Hello Hank el-Bashir. I was wondering if you were aware of the many cencorships of the right-wing templates by the Adminstration. I am outraged by this and believe that we should band together against this politically correct move by the administration. Spread the word. LordRevan 22:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Jeopardy!

With regards to a previous message that I found on my talk page before archiving (hopefully I caught you before you go off to tape the show!), you mentioned that you would be on Jeopardy!

First and foremost, congratulations on this achievement. However, I must ask, how did you find my page, of all places to ask about Jeopardy!?

As for tips I have, you may not want to listen to me, as in my game, I was last place. But, if you still want some advice, here goes:

1. Review presidents, Shakespeare, mythology, and other topics that Jeopardy! loves to focus on.
2. Review the previous teen tournament at the Jeopardy! Archive. The first game can be found here, and continues chronologically. Expect similar topics in your game.
3. Know your strengths and weaknesses. Study whatever are your weak areas more than your strong areas. You should still study what you consider to be your strong areas, but you probably want to focus on your weak areas.
4. Watch Jeopardy! daily, and play along. Or tape it, and use your remote to pause your VCR/DVR and practice your buzzer timing.
5. Study using previous questions from the Jeopardy! Archive [4].
6. Know wagering strategies. Use the J-Archive's wagering calculator to assist you in your studies.
7. Read the Jeopardy! glossary (also at the J-Archive): here
8. Post a message on the official Jeopardy! message boards asking what you should do to prepare. I'm sure that they have more ideas that I can't think of.
9. Stay calm. Don't look at the score monitors until Final Jeopardy! (or until you get a Daily Double). If you are ahead at the time you look, you may get cocky and slack off. If you are behind, you may get discouraged and frustrated.
10. Eat a good breakfast. You don't know when you'll tape, so try to eat something, despite your nerves.

That's all I can come up with off-hand. I know you won't be able to tell me how you did before the show airs, but I'd like to know when you'll be on so I can watch. Good luck, congratulations, and most importantly, have fun, win or lose.

Cheers! If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 04:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Best of luck and can't wait to see you on the show. (Are you allowed to reveal your tape date and/or airdate yet?) Do drop by the official board when time's right. Robert K S 13:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
