Talk:Moldova

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 18 October 2023
Vandalization alert: the sentence/phrase "pierogi (called 'Chiroște' in Moldovan) are another traditional staple and are often stuffed with a soft cheese in Moldova." is factually incorrect as any Moldovan/Romanian person may confirm.

Proposed change: Delete the sentence/phrase

Pierogi is a Polish food, and it's something akin to dumplings. No such word "Chiroște" exists in Romanian: https://dexonline.ro/definitie/chiroște (or 'Moldovan' as it was written by the person who vandalized the article), neither in cultural register of speech nor in informal register of speech anywhere in Moldova.

 * I can verify from a simple search that the dish exists and is well-known in Moldova. The statement is sourced (albeit to blogs), and the article about pierogi also includes the same statement with a different reference. I have, however, amended the sentence for other corrections, including the reference to the Moldovan language. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 04:57, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

"other" in Ethnic Groups section
This should link to Demographics of Moldova as with other countries wikipedia pages. 2605:A601:AA3B:5500:1006:275C:69:C830 (talk) 02:49, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Excessive WP:Recentism in the History section
Looking at the historical section, there seems to be excessive detail and trivia regarding the post-2019 period. Thus, there are 1,532 words about the first 2,000 years, 909 words about 1918-1989 (70 years), 1,375 words about the period 1989-2019 (30 years), and 2,385 words about the 2019-2024 period (5 years)!! I urge editors seeking to add anything related to this period to first take a moment and think whether a particular event is really relevant for a historical overview. I also invite watchers to try and summarise the content already in the article in order to achieve some kind of balance. Regards. Anonimu (talk) 13:24, 30 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Could we just hive the whole excess off to History of Moldova, which contains about four paragraphs for the same period? CMD (talk) 15:24, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Please edit this sentence
Please change "Notably, Moldova has among the highest alcohol consumption per capita in world, at 15.2 litres" to "Notably, Moldova has among the highest alcohol consumption per capita in the world, at 15.2 litres"

Thank you! JohnR1Roberts (talk) 20:22, 14 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Also, maybe remove the word "Notably" since it's sort of editorializing? don't know about that though JohnR1Roberts (talk) 20:22, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
