message: Why do you revert to the version that mentions the version of the name in Moldovan written in Cyrillic? The official Moldovan alphabet is written in the Latin alphabet, not the Cyrillic alphabet. 
(Четатя Албэ in the Moldovan alphabet).

replies: text: My own 2 cents: because it was in use. Better ask Dpotop why he reverts to the POV-push that was shown to be non-compliant. Dahn 21:15, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't buy that. Many such names were written in Cyrillic, including our own town names. Should we include the Cyrillic version of those names as well? How about the Turkish version, or the Greek version? We may even find an Arabic version for some of the cities. --Thus Spake Anittas 21:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can document them, the Cyrillic could be used in a separate section on names. I'm not sure that the other ones are relevant enough to be listed (the Ottoman Turkish forms tend to vary a lot for the same word, and are generally inaccurate; Greek versions may not be relevant for most cities, as, I'm guessing, they are generally modern transliterations from the Romanian, and not alternative place names). Outside "Ottoman Arabic writing", your reference to "Arabic version" is just a lame joke. Dahn 21:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Archaic written versions have no place there as long as a modern version of that same language is presented in the article. --Thus Spake Anittas 22:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

text: You are wrong—it does hurt, but that's irrelevant. What is relevant is that it is now obsolete and should not be used because it serves no purpose. It serves no historical purpose, as you say and could lead to having all versions of several languages and alphabets included in similar articles, which can only contribute to an overdosed article. Also, why include the Moldovan Cyrillic version and not the Latin version? In fact, yes, I think we should have a Moldovan version: the version which is official and not obsolete. --Thus Spake Anittas 22:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, but Wikipedia is not censored. Even though it's obsolete, the whole "Names" section is mostly historical names, not ones that are currently used today. How does it serve no purpose? We already have the Latin name: "From 1918 to 1940 and 1941 to 1944, the city was known by its Romanian name of Cetatea Albă." Khoikhoi 22:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It has nothing to do with censorship. It's about irrelevancy. It's not about not adding the name, it's about the alphabet used, which in this case, is an obsolete alphabet; and no, it was not used for a long period of time. You are more than welcome to add the Moldovan name by its official alphabet, which strangely was left out. --Thus Spake Anittas 22:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is it irrelevant? No one's denying that it's obsolete today, but it was still in use from 1940 to 1944. Khoikhoi 03:33, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks, Irpen, but I have to revert it back because the text is misleading. Some readers may think the Cyrillic alphabet is the official alphabet of Moldova--which it isn't. If you guys want to keep that obsolete version, then you should make it clear that it no longer is in use. I don't know what the purpose of that would be, but that's your choice. It would also be good to include the name written in the Latin alphabet. --Thus Spake Anittas 06:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
