Excessive WP:Recentism in the History section

Looking at the historical section, there seems to be excessive detail and trivia regarding the post-2019 period. Thus, there are 1,532 words about the first 2,000 years, 909 words about 1918-1989 (70 years), 1,375 words about the period 1989-2019 (30 years), and 2,385 words about the 2019-2024 period (5 years)!! I urge editors seeking to add anything related to this period to first take a moment and think whether a particular event is really relevant for a historical overview. I also invite watchers to try and summarise the content already in the article in order to achieve some kind of balance. Regards. Anonimu (talk) 13:24, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could we just hive the whole excess off to History of Moldova, which contains about four paragraphs for the same period? CMD (talk) 15:24, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, maybe remove the word "Notably" since it's sort of editorializing? don't know about that though JohnR1Roberts (talk) 20:22, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No such thing as "too long to read comfortably" as long as the information is relevant

The message "This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably" is just silly. 38.13.12.13 (talk) 20:13, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
