Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Bender, Moldova, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Tighina, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.
Warning
editYou currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.
Your recent edits
editHello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:16, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Copy and paste moves
editPlease see Help:Move#Before_moving_a_page, Do not move or rename a page by copying/pasting its content, as you did here and here.Repetition of these actions will lead to a block. The correct procedure, when an edited redirect prevents use of the Special:MovePage/ function is to add {{db-move}} to the article. In this particular instance, the page name is a controversial issue and was fixed at its current location as the result of a Requested Move (RM). Moving it without listing a request at WP:RM will likely be regarded as disruptive. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 19:10, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
