• On a community project such as this, what makes Ambi's word any better than another person who might have faithfully watched the site for years, yet only just now decided to make entries? Any evidence it's not true? Gosh, google. Well, you sure showed me.

I'm afraid you've got it all wrong. The onus of proving that something is true is on the person who puts it on the site. I know it isn't true - the fact that you have no evidence of these wild (not to mention defamatory in a couple of cases) claims just makes it all the more obvious. Ambi 13:19, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. This is known and indisputable fact. Ambi's attitude is disappointing. If I can be so frank. This onus of hers is particularly unreasonable when she decides the qualifying standard of proof, which on other pages has been as thin as 'I know this guy in real life'.

• Keep There is little evidence that it is not true, and it is hardly defamitory

Comment: Sure you're only pointing out the truth, but doing so in a way that discourages newbie participation. Wikipedia isn't about respecting some opinions over others based on experience, there are no elites in the open source philosophy. Explain how the above user's inexperience is pertinent to the outcome of the vote, or please retract your comment.Jamesss 13:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment: -- I'd comment, but I know you're wasting my time. - Longhair | Talk 14:53, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete all this idiot's vandalisms Proto 14:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Romania's foreign ministry lists embassy staff's names on each embassy website. As such, a search on two engines should have turned up the page for whichever embassy she works at, if she's real. As it stands, exactly two pages were returned by Google & AltaVista combined in searches for "Marija Taflaga", both showing it as a person's username - and not on Romanian sites. As such, the "person" is clearly non-notable, if not entirely fictional. The Literate Engineer 14:41, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete — does appear to be a hoax. — RJH 15:09, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment:Jojojr I can honestly say that I am not aware of any sock puppets, teasing aside. I know you guys are geeks, but is it really such a stretch for you to believe someone could get 4 friends to vote for this? That's kinda depressing- 'Jojojr 15:10, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)JoJo'

• Delete hoax Pburka
• Keep I know a friend or a friend who is Romanian, and swears it is true. It's a government cover up that has led to the website being altered to hide her existence- 'Hotpants 07:11, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)Hotpants'
