Hi, Brian, I have a discussion wtih Italian Mysterious Contributor and he removed me access on Transnistriaball as quote: political-biased vandalism against Russia. I tried to talk with him about this but he wouldn't listen, answer or even consider my argument.

It all started when I edited Moldovaball and Transistriaball.

The edits I made were: - Replacing Moldovaball's language with Romanian - That '''he also undoed 3 times, and I had to redo it again. I should also mention that I tried to tell him that currently the official langauge of Moldovaball is Romanian'''. Only in Transistriaball the Romanian language is still officially called "Moldovan". but he wouldn't listen / consider it / answer, he basically just ignored it. And now he restricted access towards editing Transistriaball.

Of course, there's an ongoing debate amongst citizens whether the language is "Romanian" or "Moldovan", but maybe if in Moldova officially speaking the language is called Romanian, meaning the state calls it Romanian, it should be labeled as Romanian. In December 2013, a decision of the Constitutional Court of Moldova ruled that the Declaration of Independence takes precedence over the Constitution, and since then the state language is "Romanian". And I'm not saying this from wikipeadia only, I have friends from Moldova.

Meanwhile in Transistria the language is not called Romanian but Moldovan (long story), so I added that there, and I also added "Ukrainian" as part of the official languages. Which it is. Ukrainian is also an official language in Transistria.

I also edited the alignment section, adding icons and changed it from "Moldovaball" which isn't the case. Quite the opposite, Transistria wants to break from Moldovaball to "Russiaball" which is, the Transistrian war of 2005 started because Transistria disagreed with Moldova's orientation towards the west desiring to remain true to the east, and currently they have free gas and protection from Russia, and they also do everything that Russia says. In the breakaway region of Transnistria, Moldovan is declared an official language, together with Ukrainian and Russian.

'''About why the Romanian Moldovan! thing''' (because I suggested to write Romanian Moldovan! on Transistria page), it's an inside joke. Moldovan is a dialect of Romanian, they're not 'mutually inteligible' but literally the same language spoken with different accent (like American English and British English) and minor differences. It all started when the Russian Empire took Bessarabia and made 'Moldovan Identity' campaigns to differentiate them from the Romanians.

And now Transistria claims Moldovan is a whole different language, nothing like Romanian. This is as ridiculous as modern Macendonians' claimed ancestry and I'm not saying that because of my poltical views, it's just dead simple, like arguing whether the sky is blue or red, check any phrase in both languages, or read what most linguists say.

Let me give you some examples about Romanian and Moldovan similarities:

RO: Sunt acasa si mananc multi cartofi.

MD: Sînt acasa si mananc multi cartofi.

RO: Parintii mei s-au dus vara asta la munte.

MD: Parintii mei s-au dus vara asta la munte.

Sounds like a joke but I'm serious, you can google it and check it yourself.

Anyway, even if he wouldn't have belied me when I wrote the reasons for my edits, he could have at least questioned me or give me his response or choose not to be an ignorant easily check his sources on wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldova

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria

Dispite being in the wrong he didn't say why he undoed the changes, while I mentioned why I made the changes. I have no doubt that he means well too. But his behaviour of undoing my changes without mentioning a proper reason then refusing to address my explainations and saying it's just 'political-biased vandalism against Russia.' is uncooperative and unfit for a moderator, and if anything he's politically-baised towards russia. He should at least check his facts before making unfounded undo like that, multiple times.

Given the situation I wish to ask you if you can lift the access to Transistriaball and maybe attention him about his uncooperative and politically-biased behaviour, in a way it's abusing his moderator power. And also quite offensive, calling my edits 'political-biased vandalism against Russia' when in fact he was the one who doesn't know what he's talking about.
