[edit] Bendery
Where have you got the information that Tighina is a Turkic name? Afaik, that Тягянакача thing is (old) Slavic... --Illythr (talk) 20:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

- I think I read it some time ago in a book about prestatal Moldavia (by Spinei, if I remeber well). I knew that book said it was Turkic (although I don't remember very well what kind of Turkic), and by searching Google for "Tighina" and "cuman" I've found several Romanian sites that support this version (although it could be another attempt to erase the Slavic memory in Moldova). I don't remember what they implied it meant, but no viable stem comes to mind when thinking at it as a Slavic one.Xasha (talk) 21:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

It's generally considered impolite to delete stuff from your talk page (unless it's really nasty). Consider archiving instead. --Illythr (talk) 20:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've seen others do it and, anyway, the "history" subsection acts virtually as an archive.Xasha (talk) 21:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] template malfunctions
Can you please clarify - or point me to an example --Matilda talk 23:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Golden horde
Actually, instead of the Golden Horde, it would be a better idea to have an article about the Tatars and Cumans in Moldova. The Golden Horde's control of Moldova was ephemeral, but those Turkic people came and stayed there. bogdan (talk) 15:05, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Appeal response
I was reading through this discussion and it appears that your question is why you were first warned by administrator Rlevse. You were warned about being subject to ArbCom's specific editing restrictions on the Digwuren RfARB. You were placed under this restriction because this comment of yours clearly violates this warning. After this valid warning by Rlevse was given to you, you made this commment which clearly violated the specific editing restriction you were just placed under, and therefore subjected to a block per the ArbCom case's Enforcement by block.
Hopefully this clears everything up, if not let me know exactly what is unclear and I'll try to provide further clarification. Dreadstar † 17:10, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm bothered by that part in which he calls me a racist.Xasha (talk) 17:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- I assume you're referring to this reason given for your being blocked. I won't quibble too much over the fact that it refers to your commments as racist and disruptive, not you personally, but I do agree that your comments [1] can appear to be racist in nature. I haven't gone through all your edits, and I haven't contacted the other administrator who blocked you (which is the block Rlevse is actually referring to), but the one edit mentioned does appear to have racist overtones (e.g. the very first sentence in the post, and accusing others of russophobia). Dreadstar † 18:14, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- Then I'd suggest being much more cautious and completely avoid any use of sarcasm or satirization of other editor's purported positions, beliefs or statements. Repeating racist remarks or making comparisons to racist movements, even to be sarcastic, is not something that should be done. It appeared racist and was remarked upon as such. Dreadstar † 18:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- As I explained above, it looked racist to me. I'd suggest leaving this be and moving on. Dreadstar † 19:14, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- I was just writing a suggestion that you approach Rlevse in a different manner than you first did, but I saw you already did that with good results. Nice job. Dreadstar † 22:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
