BorgQueen ( talk) 21:54, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Greetings, Todor. First of all, thanks for the details on the article. Now, for some criticism: I notice that, quite a lot of times, you insert your references in texts using a certain format, regardless of what format the texts already use. I have absolutely no problem with that format, as long as it has all the relevant data mentioned, but using several formats in the same place not only looks sloppy, it also gives other editors something to do that they rather wouldn't (i.e., unify the formats - in this case, it was me). I understand that you're most comfortable with that format (even though I find it very restrictive myself), and I certainly don't expect you to format all other references when you're just inserting one, but wouldn't it save us all a lot of work if you just go with what's in the text? This also goes for your use of Cyrillic, which seems to be adapted to Bulgarian wiki formats but doesn't really make sense over here: sure we shouldn't transliterate the title, but it should be implied that we transliterate author, publishing house and city.
Also, there seems to be another problem with one of the sources, and I think it's quite serious: yes, the book you link to may have been published, but the domain is a personal page, and this fails WP:RS.
Now, there's another thing that bugs me. Even if you gave the complete reference details for one source, another one was incomplete (and the order you used elsewhere reversed), while the other one (Thomas Tartler & Josef Trausch) simply lists no relevant details other than title and authors (what about year? publisher? page?!). I suspect the explanation here is that you simply copied the reference not from the original work, but from a secondary source - when I tried to fill in the publishing details, I came upon this (it cites the text and the book exactly as your addition does). I would say "why not just cite the secondary source?", but, really, to what measure is this a reliable source? Dahn ( talk) 23:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the kind remarks about my contributions, though I'm sure I don't deserve them. One of the great things about this pan-Eastern European reaching-out is that we have a chance to accomplish not only more cooperative efforts than was the norm in our history, but also more than what happens on other sections of wikipedia (I've seen this happening in the Hungarian-Romanian equivalent, but activity among the former group of editors is, alas, sporadic).
Indeed, I did not object to the sources and did not remove them (if anything, because I have full confidence in your competence and power to discern). The problem was with the links, and I'm glad we came to an understanding. About the Cyrillic spelling: your approach is reasonable, but I still find it inconsistent (still, I won't press the matter further).
I am sure that one day you'll add
Romania to your collection of those you visited on
Earth. Perhaps then you'd get too see the Black Church entry - it's really not that impressive up close, but the church itself is pretty intimidating; in nay case, if you're ever forced to chose between Braşov and Sibiu, I strongly recommend Sibiu. As for the traditional monasteries and churches: I like many of them myself, but the style can get unnerving - they're copying it in every new church nowadays, and, where there were already too many churches around, they're building one every time a pimple is cured or a pup is born (this also means that churchgoers have come to prefer shiny new things, so they either leave some of the old ones to cave in or, which is even worse, "improve" the old in some intrusive way or another).
But perhaps this is a good place and time to let you in on some "secrets" of my own. For starters, one of my maternal great-grandfathers was half-Bulgarian (born in Bulgaria, actually), and all my maternal family hails from an area where Bulgarians and Romanians lived side by side (incidentally, my Bulgarian great-grandfather was in denial, probably because he was an orphan raised by his relatives in Romania - did his best to forget Bulgarian and was quoted by my elders saying that, had he known what part of him was Bulgarian, he would have chopped it off). Amusingly, although they never spoke Bulgarian or anything, some of his descendants have inherited the "inverted" nods for yes and no, which they alternate with the "normal" ones - picture what comes out of this. On the other hand, my Bulgarian great-grandfather's son-in-law (my grandfather), from a Romanian family, always had a special love for Bulgaria, which he visited over and over again, where he made friends, and which he wanted to see cooperating with Romania in every way possible (even within a Balkan Federation). I have visited Bulgaria only once, a rather long time ago (though I have friends who go there almost every year); I was impressed with magnificent Plovdiv, but I also found that Bucharest does not compare with Sofia (our capital has grown ugly, dirty, flashy, exhausting and aggravating; yours I remember as pretty, clean, decent, refreshing and quiet). Dahn ( talk) 17:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm not god ... move it back and add the refs. Maybe it ll get loaded. It is tough. If yous isnt a dud and its obviously not an orphan then see if you can get someone to review it. Sorry if your upset, its not intentional Victuallers ( talk) 21:13, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't know Wikipedia policy (whether or not to mention other names, in what criteria) when a place has different names in various languages. If you are talking about 8% Turkish population then the Romanian name should not have mentioned in the first place.

Application of the law has started, comrade! (Well, I'm not sure this has Communist origins; Romania's equivalent was imported from France, which invented the whole idea. Either way it's quite absurd. I suggest petitioning the Bulgarian Parliament to change the law, though I doubt that would have much effect, given most Bulgarian politicians seem to have other masters than the people who elected them.) -- Biruitorul Talk 05:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello MR Bozhinov, the bulgarian editors seem to be full of ethnographic materials from the early 20th century regarding Macedonia. I was wondering is you have any information on the village of "Katafygi/Katafigi/Katafigion" amongst the old turn of the century publications. If so, does the text mention the ethnicities present in the village at that time. The village was just excluded from V.Kanchovs Macedonia;Ethnography and Statistics report of 1900. As you can see here. If you know of sources, please do tell. PMK1 ( talk) 12:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Not at all: Ioannina had an Albanian population, till 1923. If you know greek, you can see the official site of the municipality, in the history section, which speaks about this albanian population (not to mention other NPOV sources). Secondly, Ioannina was part of what was called Ottoman Albania by Encyclopedia Brittanica 11th edition (you can check it there). Ioannina was part of Pashalik of Janina, ruled by albanians. Ioannina had its delegates in the Albanian Declaration of Independence#Delegates. So, it is an important city, not only for greeks, but for albanians as well. Balkanian`s word ( talk) 20:21, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I have to look on them. Qind in albanian means one hundred and it is used as qind-arka which means cent. Buka is bread, keq in albanian means bad, and qelesh in gegh albanian is used for a lot of things that derive from wool. But, I cannot help you if these are the roots of the bulgarian words, because I have no book of it and most of all I do not know the words` evolution in Bulgarian, i.e. if these albanian words may be transformed in the meshtreski words, according to bulgarian phonetic rules.

Hi there! I've recently created Wikipedia:WikiProject Bulgaria/Municipal templates in a drive to build a detailed guide to Bulgaria by municipality by adding villages, notable landmarks, people and culture from each municipality. Please follow Template:Smolyan as a guideline and help get Bulgaria covered in detail in this way. I am creating the bones of the templates first but I will need help placing the notable articles into each new municipality template and then of course starting the missing articles we have for each of them in abundance. Feel free to start adding links to all of the others like Template:Smolyan. Thankyou and I hope people will see their potential for building a more detailed guide to Bulgaria!

Hello The greek names that i added in some Bulgarian cities they're not inapropriate at all. It's just the official greek name of the city, how they call it in Greece. And it's common to add the name of a place of a neighbor country in use. And that because of the historical value of some etymologies, not some "nationalistic agenda". It's so sad to think like that! And of course i haven't added only greek names but any name in use today for some places or cities, also greek ones, in many languages. User talk:Atanasio
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Emanuil Vaskidovich, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Emanuil Vaskidovich seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Emanuil Vaskidovich, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

Sorry about that, it got caught in a blizzard of blind deletions. For the record Emanuil Vaskidovich fails WP:V, it has no inline citations and the items listed as references are problematic; in accordance with WP:NONENG. Cheers. Semitransgenic ( talk) 19:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC) Citations are always useful, if you speak the language, cite the text and provide a translation, that would help I think.

I would appreciate your input/view on the issue I have raised [2]. Thanks, Polibiush ( talk) 23:27, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
I am interested in putting the South Slavic names for Xanthi, Myki, Kotyli, Alexandroupoli, Amaxades after all the people there are Pomaks who speak the Pomak language. I mean we all know that they speak bulgarian and you know that in West Macedonia, the Macedonian language is spoken. By the same logic we could add SE-Slavic to all the cities i just mentioned, apparently bulgarian isnt spoken there. PMK1 ( talk) 05:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I would like to than you for taking on the makedonisti and contending for the Bulgarian character of the Macedonian Slavs. I am a Canadian whose roots go back to the Kostur region. From my parents and grandparents, I have been told that our language is Bulgarian and not "Macedonian". Indeed, the Kostur dialect has many east Bulgarian features. Keep up the great work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.15.52.86 ( talk) 22:21, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Todor
I would like to translate a few pages about Bulgaria from English into Russian. I don't understand Russian myself (and only have editing of English pages activated), but I do have a Russian translator who can do the translations. What is the best way I can get the Russian translations entered?
I tried asking this question on my talk page and they suggested talking to the Russian group, but I am not sure how to do this. Am I right in thinking you are responsible for Bulgarian topics? Is this page the best way to communicate?
FromBG ( talk) 18:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

hi, apart from the open debate as to whether "Grecoman" was/is most often used in a pejorative way i think you should reword that part leaving the term out, solely based on the bias to be expected from Bulgarian sources regarding this specific characterization my request should be reasonable. I can't evaluate the references myself, so please judge from the context and re-phrase (or at least omit what those people were exactly). Thanks. -- Zakronian ( talk) 22:27, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

BorgQueen ( talk) 21:54, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Greetings, Todor. First of all, thanks for the details on the article. Now, for some criticism: I notice that, quite a lot of times, you insert your references in texts using a certain format, regardless of what format the texts already use. I have absolutely no problem with that format, as long as it has all the relevant data mentioned, but using several formats in the same place not only looks sloppy, it also gives other editors something to do that they rather wouldn't (i.e., unify the formats - in this case, it was me). I understand that you're most comfortable with that format (even though I find it very restrictive myself), and I certainly don't expect you to format all other references when you're just inserting one, but wouldn't it save us all a lot of work if you just go with what's in the text? This also goes for your use of Cyrillic, which seems to be adapted to Bulgarian wiki formats but doesn't really make sense over here: sure we shouldn't transliterate the title, but it should be implied that we transliterate author, publishing house and city.
Also, there seems to be another problem with one of the sources, and I think it's quite serious: yes, the book you link to may have been published, but the domain is a personal page, and this fails WP:RS.
Now, there's another thing that bugs me. Even if you gave the complete reference details for one source, another one was incomplete (and the order you used elsewhere reversed), while the other one (Thomas Tartler & Josef Trausch) simply lists no relevant details other than title and authors (what about year? publisher? page?!). I suspect the explanation here is that you simply copied the reference not from the original work, but from a secondary source - when I tried to fill in the publishing details, I came upon this (it cites the text and the book exactly as your addition does). I would say "why not just cite the secondary source?", but, really, to what measure is this a reliable source? Dahn ( talk) 23:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the kind remarks about my contributions, though I'm sure I don't deserve them. One of the great things about this pan-Eastern European reaching-out is that we have a chance to accomplish not only more cooperative efforts than was the norm in our history, but also more than what happens on other sections of wikipedia (I've seen this happening in the Hungarian-Romanian equivalent, but activity among the former group of editors is, alas, sporadic).
Indeed, I did not object to the sources and did not remove them (if anything, because I have full confidence in your competence and power to discern). The problem was with the links, and I'm glad we came to an understanding. About the Cyrillic spelling: your approach is reasonable, but I still find it inconsistent (still, I won't press the matter further).
I am sure that one day you'll add
Romania to your collection of those you visited on
Earth. Perhaps then you'd get too see the Black Church entry - it's really not that impressive up close, but the church itself is pretty intimidating; in nay case, if you're ever forced to chose between Braşov and Sibiu, I strongly recommend Sibiu. As for the traditional monasteries and churches: I like many of them myself, but the style can get unnerving - they're copying it in every new church nowadays, and, where there were already too many churches around, they're building one every time a pimple is cured or a pup is born (this also means that churchgoers have come to prefer shiny new things, so they either leave some of the old ones to cave in or, which is even worse, "improve" the old in some intrusive way or another).
But perhaps this is a good place and time to let you in on some "secrets" of my own. For starters, one of my maternal great-grandfathers was half-Bulgarian (born in Bulgaria, actually), and all my maternal family hails from an area where Bulgarians and Romanians lived side by side (incidentally, my Bulgarian great-grandfather was in denial, probably because he was an orphan raised by his relatives in Romania - did his best to forget Bulgarian and was quoted by my elders saying that, had he known what part of him was Bulgarian, he would have chopped it off). Amusingly, although they never spoke Bulgarian or anything, some of his descendants have inherited the "inverted" nods for yes and no, which they alternate with the "normal" ones - picture what comes out of this. On the other hand, my Bulgarian great-grandfather's son-in-law (my grandfather), from a Romanian family, always had a special love for Bulgaria, which he visited over and over again, where he made friends, and which he wanted to see cooperating with Romania in every way possible (even within a Balkan Federation). I have visited Bulgaria only once, a rather long time ago (though I have friends who go there almost every year); I was impressed with magnificent Plovdiv, but I also found that Bucharest does not compare with Sofia (our capital has grown ugly, dirty, flashy, exhausting and aggravating; yours I remember as pretty, clean, decent, refreshing and quiet).

I don't know Wikipedia policy (whether or not to mention other names, in what criteria) when a place has different names in various languages. If you are talking about 8% Turkish population then the Romanian name should not have mentioned in the first place. You might want to put the Turkish name in vote or just delete it, honestly I don't really care.-- Infestor ( talk) 13:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I can't put the image of Hristo Batandzhiev in the infobox that I created in his article in the English Wiki. The image is avalable in the Bulgarian Wikipedia. Why is that? Do I need to upload the picture AGAIN in the English wiki? -- Chief White Halfoat ( talk) 08:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Application of the law has started, comrade! (Well, I'm not sure this has Communist origins; Romania's equivalent was imported from France, which invented the whole idea. Either way it's quite absurd. I suggest petitioning the Bulgarian Parliament to change the law, though I doubt that would have much effect, given most Bulgarian politicians seem to have other masters than the people who elected them.) -- Biruitorul Talk 05:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Освен да ги тагнем както е казал първия и да приключим с това. Другото е, че ако имаше проблем в Комънс щяха да са писнали.

Hello, I want to know what the proper pronounciation, Tundzha is. Just [tunza] Right? or somthing... Because I translated the contents to Korean wikipedia and need to modify. maybe I have wonder what if the Bulgarian or Turkish pronounciation would be different. If you know, please let me know! :) Pju0353 ( talk) 09:20, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
If they were so aware of this Macedonia regionality, than why didn't they put it as a complex coat under the Bulgarian one. No offending mate, but it's silly.

Could you check on what I've exactly done on Vlado Chernozemski and Dimo Hadzhidimov. They were moved by a certain editor as you'll see and then I moved the first to a wrong location. Then I think I performed what is called a "cut-and-paste" move. This is not the proper result now, is it? -- Laveol T 17:23, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello MR Bozhinov, the bulgarian editors seem to be full of ethnographic materials from the early 20th century regarding Macedonia. I was wondering is you have any information on the village of "Katafygi/Katafigi/Katafigion" amongst the old turn of the century publications. If so, does the text mention the ethnicities present in the village at that time. The village was just excluded from V.Kanchovs Macedonia;Ethnography and Statistics report of 1900. As you can see here. If you know of sources, please do tell. PMK1 ( talk) 12:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Not at all: Ioannina had an Albanian population, till 1923. If you know greek, you can see the official site of the municipality, in the history section, which speaks about this albanian population (not to mention other NPOV sources). Secondly, Ioannina was part of what was called Ottoman Albania by Encyclopedia Brittanica 11th edition (you can check it there). Ioannina was part of Pashalik of Janina, ruled by albanians. Ioannina had its delegates in the Albanian Declaration of Independence#Delegates. So, it is an important city, not only for greeks, but for albanians as well. Balkanian`s word ( talk) 20:21, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I have to look on them. Qind in albanian means one hundred and it is used as qind-arka which means cent. Buka is bread, keq in albanian means bad, and qelesh in gegh albanian is used for a lot of things that derive from wool. But, I cannot help you if these are the roots of the bulgarian words, because I have no book of it and most of all I do not know the words` evolution in Bulgarian, i.e. if these albanian words may be transformed in the meshtreski words, according to bulgarian phonetic rules.

Hi there! I've recently created Wikipedia:WikiProject Bulgaria/Municipal templates in a drive to build a detailed guide to Bulgaria by municipality by adding villages, notable landmarks, people and culture from each municipality. Please follow Template:Smolyan as a guideline and help get Bulgaria covered in detail in this way. I am creating the bones of the templates first but I will need help placing the notable articles into each new municipality template and then of course starting the missing articles we have for each of them in abundance. Feel free to start adding links to all of the others like Template:Smolyan. Thankyou and I hope people will see their potential for building a more detailed guide to Bulgaria!

Hello The greek names that i added in some Bulgarian cities they're not inapropriate at all. It's just the official greek name of the city, how they call it in Greece. And it's common to add the name of a place of a neighbor country in use. And that because of the historical value of some etymologies, not some "nationalistic agenda". It's so sad to think like that! And of course i haven't added only greek names but any name in use today for some places or cities, also greek ones, in many languages. User talk:Atanasio
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Emanuil Vaskidovich, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Emanuil Vaskidovich seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Emanuil Vaskidovich, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

Sorry about that, it got caught in a blizzard of blind deletions.

I am interested in putting the South Slavic names for Xanthi, Myki, Kotyli, Alexandroupoli, Amaxades after all the people there are Pomaks who speak the Pomak language. I mean we all know that they speak bulgarian and you know that in West Macedonia, the Macedonian language is spoken. By the same logic we could add SE-Slavic to all the cities i just mentioned, apparently bulgarian isnt spoken there. PMK1 ( talk) 05:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I would like to than you for taking on the makedonisti and contending for the Bulgarian character of the Macedonian Slavs. I am a Canadian whose roots go back to the Kostur region. From my parents and grandparents, I have been told that our language is Bulgarian and not "Macedonian". Indeed, the Kostur dialect has many east Bulgarian features. Keep up the great work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.15.52.86 ( talk) 22:21, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading
File:Elin Pelin CoA.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Todor
I would like to translate a few pages about Bulgaria from English into Russian. I don't understand Russian myself (and only have editing of English pages activated), but I do have a Russian translator who can do the translations. What is the best way I can get the Russian translations entered?
I tried asking this question on my talk page and they suggested talking to the Russian group, but I am not sure how to do this. Am I right in thinking you are responsible for Bulgarian topics? Is this page the best way to communicate?
FromBG ( talk) 18:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
I've made a request for a translation at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Bulgaria#Help_needed_with_translation that would help develop the article about Dobruja, to which you have contributed in the past.

hi, apart from the open debate as to whether "Grecoman" was/is most often used in a pejorative way i think you should reword that part leaving the term out, solely based on the bias to be expected from Bulgarian sources regarding this specific characterization my request should be reasonable. I can't evaluate the references myself, so please judge from the context and re-phrase (or at least omit what those people were exactly). Thanks. -- Zakronian ( talk) 22:27, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
