Talk:Moldova

Please replace Balkans with Carpathians in the first sentence: Moldova, officially the Republic of Moldova, is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, on the northeastern corner of the Balkans.

The Balkan Mountains are located south of the Carpathian Mountains.

The Balkans are not in the vicinity of Moldova.

I believe the author meant to speak about the Carpathians instead of the Balkans.

The intended description of Moldova located "on the northeastern corner of the Carpathians" is correct. Sebpop (talk) 02:52, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

:As I parse it, though I'm not particularly familiar with relevant editorial decisions, "the Balkans" refers primarily to the countries and the geographical area, not the mountain range. Indeed, the article you link on "The Balkans" shows Moldova just slightly northeast of the region defined as the Balkans. Quoting the article, "Although they have no territory on the peninsula, Hungary and Moldova are sometimes incorporated into the Balkans region due to cultural and historical affiliations." I don't think this edit should be made. Keller Scholl (talk) 13:53, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Saigas are not currently considered critically endangered, only near-threatened (https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/19832/233712210). Therefore the wording in the biodiversity section should be changed to reflect that. In particular the following changes should be made:

Change "Saigas are a critically endangered species that is now extinct in Moldova." to "Saigas are a near-threatened species that is now extinct in Moldova." in the image caption.

Change "[...] eradicated the native saiga herds which is currently threatened with extinction." to "[...] eradicated the native saiga herds."

"A referendum on joining the EU is planned for autumn 2024, there will be no voting stations in Transnistria, however residents there will be free to travel into other areas of Moldova to vote, should they wish to." This is incorrectly in the future tense, and should ideally be replaced with a citation about what happened for Transnistrian residents. Keller Scholl (talk) 13:55, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

See paragraph:

"Under the presidency of Maia Sandu, elected in 2020 on a pro-Western and anti-corruption ticket, Moldova has pursued membership in the European Union, and was granted candidate status in June 2022. Accession talks to the EU began on 13 December 2023. Sandu has suggested an end to Moldova's constitutional commitment to military neutrality in favour of a closer alliance with NATO. He strongly condemned Russia's invasion of neighbouring Ukraine."

Why are the Wiki pages in English related to Moldova so out of date? Likewise, so is the page about Maia Sandu. Almost no updates for 2 or 3 years! Can the administrators please do some actual work? Or ask someone knowledgeable to do it? Thanks. 2A00:1858:1054:8BDC:6C32:86BF:AFF7:B47 (talk) 05:45, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
