Irina Bulmagă → Irina Bulmaga – WGM Irina Bulmaga clarified this issue many times and it's extremely frustrating to see this error being perpetuated because of Wikipedia. The fact that her name is Bulmaga ‒ and not Bulmagă ‒ can be verified in many ways. In a comment on Facebook, she was asked about the correct spelling of her name. WGM Irina Bulmaga replied, "The correct pronunciation is Bulmaga". Romanian language is phonetic, so words are pronounced the way they are written. Therefore, the correct spelling is Bulmaga. If you're logged in to Facebook, you can see how she spells her name ‒ https://www.facebook.com/ibulmaga/posts/4195312113816247?comment_id=4804305576250228&reply_comment_id=4806412396039546&notif_id=1623663064046225&notif_t=comment_mention&ref=notif Likely to offend (talk) 22:09, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. Suffice it to glance at the three Irina Bulmagă#External links, including FIDE, to determine that she does not use the Romanian diacritic. Even the Moldovan Romanian link listed under Irina Bulmagă#References ([1]) does not use the diacritic. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:31, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
• Support Contrary to the above, the databases of FIDE and Chessgames and those that pull biographical info from them (like 365Chess.com) never use any diacritics to begin with, so none of the external links provided in the article can be relied on for such an issue. However, sources such as the Moldovan federation's tournament reports or the Romanian federation's directory should be reliable for this, and indeed they use <a>, not <ă>.
