In its original form, as created on June 6th by user:Jingiby, the article's penultimate paragraph contained a passage, which, in turn, included the following sencence: "Per Political Liberty, every Macedonian should be regarded as a Bulgarian, Serb, Greek, etc., as he is, but on the first place, as a “political slave”". The paragraph's reader was referred via a note at the end of the paragraph to consult p. 140 from the Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Macedonia. I happened to check the relevant page of this book, I found that it only contained material that was related to the last sentence of the paragraph. I thus placed the relevant template aking for a source, and Jingiby subsequently provided a reference to Tchavdar Marinov and Alexander Vezenkov, "Communism and Nationalism in the Balkans: Marriage of Convenience or Mutual Attraction?", in: Roumen Daskalov and Diana Mishkova (eds), Entangled Histories of the Balkans, 2 (Brill, 2013), ISBN 9004261915, p. 503. Jingiby also provided a citation from p. 503 relating to part of the passage, but not the sentence I quoted above. I provide here the relevant passage from page 503:
Jingiby's text was not only lacking a source, as required per WP:V, but contains a claim that is the *exact opposite* of what is stated in the source he subsequently added. At a minimum, the text has to be modified to conform with what the source actually says, but I must confess I find this a very troubling incident and probably at least the rest of the article should be checked to make sure that is does not contain similar falsifications of source material.
