 ::Agree. It's also much closer to Ukrainian spelling (Dnister). Let's make Dniester a Wikipedia convention. Best wishes,  

 == Names == 

 There were too many names in the article. I left only the languages which are relevant to the geography nowadays (Ukrainian, Romanian, Russian) and Latin (as it can be found on many older maps) and I removed: 

 :Polish Dniestr, Yiddish‫נעסטער ‬ (nester), Serbian Dnjester 

 

 == Invaders and defenders == 

 It would be neutral to say ""During the war, battles were fought on the banks of the river between the German and Romanian invaders and the Soviet defenders."" This does not imply any value judgment. It is an objective statement, because an ""invader"" is someone coming from the outside and trying to take over the territory, whereas a ""defender"" is someone who wants to prevent that from happening and who is already there. If we need to clarify, we can specify the left bank of the river. On the right bank, the Romanians would not be invaders since they already held that territory. The Dniester was an international border at the time. -   

 == Separating Moldova from Transnistria NPOV == 

 I'm concerned that it is inaccurate to say ""the Dniester separates Moldova from Transnistria"". First there is the region's overall controversial status, secondly there are certain areas on the left bank where Moldova has defacto/dejure control.  

 I have rephrased the statement to make up for this shortcoming: ""...after which it flows through Moldova for 398km, separating most of it from Transnistria.""  

 Feel free to make suggestions for a more eloquent way of expressing this.
