Gherghel
Since I'd rather not spend the rest of my days going round and round with you on this one, we may as well talk it out. Look, I know that the Romanian-speaking Roman Catholics of Moldavia may well "really" be Csango Hungarians, that an ordinary Romanian is called Grigore and that "Gherghel" likely derives from Gergely, and so on. However, when dealing with a Romanian citizen, the assumption is always that he's an ethnic Romanian (and thus ethnicity remains unstated and implicitly Romanian), unless a) a reliable source says otherwise or b) the name is unequivocally of another ethnicity, say "Péter Gergely" or "Mehmet Kılıçdaroğlu" (in which case it will anyway be easy to find corroborating sources). Neither of these criteria is met here, and so we require a reliable source saying Gherghel is a Csango or a Hungarian. Please don't reinsert that until you find such a source.

Your manipulation of census data also needs to end. Again, I know the Moldavian Roman Catholics perhaps are "really" Csango. But they, not you or I, get to decide what to tell the census takers they are. In, for instance, Faraoani, this is what they said. Of 5176 people (of whom 5143 are Roman Catholics), 5129 said they are Romanians, and we don't question that. 4 did say they are Hungarians, and 41 did say they are Csango, but the overwhelming majority said they are Romanians, and that's what we record. I hope this is clear. - Biruitorul Talk 15:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
