Are you talking nationality, ethnically? I don't have a preferred version, I just know more than a few Moldavians, who tell me they are the same ethnically as Romanians. Even the language is the same, even if it is called Moldavian. They say it is the same thing genetically to be Romanian or Moldavian. What separates a Romanian from a Moldavian is simply where one is born. I'm not ready to fight over it, but adding "Romanian from" seems redundant and very unnecessary.

Well, in past Moldova was part of Romania (most recently: 1918-1940, Kingdom of Romania), and there is number of Moldovans with dual citizenship (Moldovan + Romanian), another part could identify themselves as Romanians, but other are Moldovenists (eventually anti-Romanians) or of another unrelated ethnicity (Russians, Ukrainians, Gagauz, Gypsies, etc.) - for more details see also "Controversy over ethnic and linguistic identity in Moldova". Even if the language is the same, we can't keep in article such a statement without a reliable source (I searched a bit for them, and didn't found anything). XXN, 20:32, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm almost sure that actually his name is Ion, while Nicolae is only a patronymic name, and if so there should be placed a {{Patronymic name}} template. I just can't find a realiable source for this at the moment. --XXN, 11:25, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
