In the thread at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanians_in_Ukraine, it seems that you have not deleted mainly a point of view, but the census numbers of people who identified themselves as Moldovans, Ukrainians, Russians, etc., and of the census Moldovans who said that their language was Moldovan and of those who said that their language was Romanian in various localities, raions and oblasts. It seems that you didn't like something in the information included in there, and that you deleted, probably out of anger, a lot of useful information/facts. Sometimes you have made some changes to my postings (2603:6013:7D40:BE00:50D:6DE9:60D7:F198) by invoking the 2001 Ukrainian census, but now you have deleted a lot of its results. And, by the way, the number of self-identified ethnic Romanians in the Storozhynets raion was over 30,000, not 2,923, the number to which it was reduced by your edit.
Dear anon, if some people decide to identify as Moldovans, Wikipedia will report them as Moldovans, not as Romanians. I removed article text that tried to conflate their number in the number of Romanians, which violates WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. Sorry for deleting one digit from the number of Romanians in Storozhynets, and thanks for fixing that.Anonimu (talk) 18:32, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Including the two groups separately could be useful, including if one shows how more and more people are displaying a Romanian identity, which is what I have done. Thanks for making the change indicating who makes the argument about the changing identity of some from "Moldovan" to "Romanian". And there is no problem that you got a digit wrong. Also keep in mind that I am not seeking conflict with you or anybody else. By the way, your latest deletion of some of what I posted on July 26 is within the reasonable range.
On the other hand (and there are opinion polls in both Moldova and Ukraine indicating that), there are some individuals (I will make available the opinion polls when I will have the books in my hands again) who have both a Moldovan primary and a Romanian secondary ethnic identity. These individuals are particularly numerous in northern Bukovina and in Hertsa (that is, outside Bessarabia), where most of the census Moldovans also have a Romanian ethnic identity. The Moldovan census of 2024 has allowed individuals to have multiple identities, and we will soon see that many do. And people's identities in the internal documents are (in most places slowly) changing from Moldovan to Romanian, and more often from "only Moldovan" to "Moldovan and secondarily Romanian". The regional board of education of the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine (though the study is not public) surveyed all the students and the parents, and most of those with a Moldovan identity also had a secondary Romanian identity. My source is a person who worked for the regional board of education, and had a ... Romanian grandparent. I am also partly descended from the ethnic Moldovans/Romanians in what is now Ukraine, and I have relatives with a census Romanian and a census Moldovan (and sometimes exclusively Moldovan) identity. Some of them used to like the idea of "Moldovan schools" distinct from "Romanian schools". Now nobody among my relatives does. And the argument "the Moldovans are ethnic Romanians" made by the Romanian government, Romanian-American diaspora, etc., has prevented the use of the self-identified Moldovans as cannon-fodder in the war against Russia. And even those with an exclusively Moldovan identity are benefiting from this. 2603:6013:7D40:BE00:85EC:2B76:6C1C:5A4A (talk) 19:59, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
