And this is what makes Wikipedia lose contact with the real world

The city is called BENDERY. An all supported politically correct move made this article laughable. I am not a fan of the breakaway republic, but NOWHERE in the city can you see the name Bender. Also a majority of the people who live there, also ethnically from Moldova, don't use it. But in the name of political correctness Wikipedia will gave the name Bender and not the one that is on the city gates, railway station etc. Sad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.253.103.139 (talk) 23:36, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia articles in the English language about cities like Moscow and The Hague could be called Moskva and Den Haag, respectively, but those are not the names commonly used in English. So besides historical reasons, and possibly political correctness, there could be a linguistic motivation here. But I'm not a native English speaker. I'm Dutch, and it doesn't bother me at all that the article about The Hague is not called Den Haag :). I understand in the case of Bender(y) there is more political/ethnic tension involved, unfortunately.145.97.223.96 (talk) 22:49, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bender is not really an English name of the city. It's the Romanian name of this city. The city has never been so well known internationally, hence there are no exonyms for it. I've been in Bendery, and the language that's almost exclusively spoken there is Russian, even among ethnic Moldovans. Russian is used as the official language there and Bendery has been predominantly Russian-speaking since at least the second half of the 19th century, as confirmed by old censuses. The only reason Wikipedia uses "Bender, Moldova" instead of "Bendery" is that most here side 100% with the Moldovan side in this conflict. --Maturion (talk) 15:01, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, the Romanian name of the city is neither Bender, nor Bendery; it's Tighina. Just that you know! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.78.21.199 (talk) 05:44, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
