Greetings everybody.
User:Barbov has created a new stub template for Bulgarian politicians - {{ Bulgaria-politician-stub}} - and listed it on the proposal page of WikiProject Stub Sorting WP:WSS (usually, it is the other way around.) The reason I am writing to you is that I could only find 57 stub articles relating to Bulgarian politicians, and our stardard requirement to approve a new stub template is that it is used on 60 stub articles. So if any of you could, say, create 5 new stubs articles, the template will be sure to be approved. It probably will be anyway, but reaching 60-65 stubs will make it certain. Any new articles don't have to contain much information - e.g. "XYZ is a Bulgarian politician. He / she has been a member of Parliament since ... representing the ... political party."
If any of you create these missing articles, please tag them with either {{ Bulgaria-politician-stub}} or both {{ Bulgaria-bio-stub}} and {{ euro-politician-stub}}. (I've used the last solution myself.) If the template is approved, I will update all articles to use the new template. If any of you create the "missing" stubs, please tell us where the proposal is listed on [1] Best regards from WP:WSS. Valentinian (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello! I've been recently trying to make the Bulgarian town template look better by making it a real infobox with optional parameters and so. I'd like to include some space for a
coat of arms (герб) left of the map and a Cyrillic name for the town under the {{PAGENAME}} (the PAGENAME I feel should be only displayed when there's no, say, {{{NAME}}} specified), an optional parameter for the party of the mayor displaying it <small></small> and in parentheses (скоби) right of his name, a parameter for the municipality (община) and other optional parameters that one would include in an infobox. Could someone more experienced with wiki and HTML markup make these changes to
Template:TownBG or give some hints. I've been looking at other templates' sources and could ultimately cope with the task, but it's not an easy job after all.

The snow scene at Shipka Pass photograph by User:Psy guy is set to appear on the Main Page on 3 June (a Saturday). Greetings everyone!
Also, the Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria article is currently being peer reviewed and will soon be nominated to become a featured article. Everybody is welcome to express his opinion when that happens. Todor Bozhinov → 18:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
I think some work should be done on categorisation and naming of Bulgaria-related subjects. I think for artificial lakes (яаэовири), "Dam" should be used for the barrier and "Reservoir" for the lake behind it. "Mountains of Bulgaria" should be renamed "Mountain Ranges of Bulgaria", containing the ranges (planini) and subcategories for each range that contain the mountain peaks of that range. Comments? Preslav 17:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I've now created a category for each province of Bulgaria (e.g. Burgas Province has Category:Burgas Province). Make sure you add any new articles you create to the category in case they have a relation to it. Thanks! Todor → Bozhinov 22:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 16:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Well aware this isn't Wikiproject Romania, but you guys are just over the border... could you please take a look at Transformations imposed by the Soviet Union in Romanian Education after the WW II.. needs some attention and comment.

While creating Template:Bulgarian monarchs I discovered that articles on this subject are quite a mess in terms of naming and numbering of monarchs, particularly during the Second Kingdom, and there are discrepancies between the bg and en versions. They need to be taken care of by someone with relevant qualification in history. -- DStoykov 20:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I have (again) nominated the article Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria for featured article status at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates.

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 20:55, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
The Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria article has been nominated for a featured article yet again :) If you'd like to voice your opinion, you're encouraged to do so on the nomination page. Thanks! Todor → Bozhinov 18:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi folks, a few days ago I was asked to take part in
Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing Bulgarian Films. Never known there were so many BG movies and only 4 were done when I joined the initiative. I added "
Orkestar bez ime" and "
Opasen char" and will keep on adding. I have here "Toplo", "Lyubimec 13" and "Manevri na petia etaj" and will add them as well. So, if anyone would like to join the effort, the link is above.
Cheers,

I encountered several articles linking to Bulgarian Alternative Synod. Would anyone know what it is, and if yes, could anyone write its article? Nikola 21:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I am in the trial runs of the User:AlexNewArtBot (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/AlexNewArtBot). The bot reads all the new articles for a day and puts suspected Bulgaria-related articles into User:AlexNewArtBot/BulgariaSearchResult, the articles are suppose to be manually put into the portal page and/or removed if irrelevant. Or whatever you want to do with them.
The list of rules are in User:AlexNewArtBot/Bulgaria, there is also the log on the User:AlexNewArtBot/BulgariaLog explaining the rules that sent an article to the search results (the log is cleared every day, so try to look into the history of the log). Please contact me if you are interested in the fine tuning of the rules
That is all. Any suggestions are welcome. Alex Bakharev 07:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I've just nominated the Simeon I of Bulgaria article, which I wrote, for a featured article. You can see the nomination at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Simeon I of Bulgaria, where you're all invited to vote and comment! Thanks! Todor → Bozhinov 19:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
As part of Messedrocker's Contest, I've considerably improved the Banat Bulgarians article and I've nominated it for Good article status. If you'd like to review it, please do so according to the guidelines that you can find at Good article candidates. Thanks in advance! Todor → Bozhinov 16:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I have nominated a map of Livingston Island and Greenwich Island by the Antarctic Place-names Commission of Bulgaria for featured picture status. The map is related to Bulgaria because the two islands are abundant in Bulgarian toponyms, and the Bulgarian St. Kliment Ohridski Base lies on Livingston Island. Please vote at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Map of Livingston Island and Greenwich Island. Thanks! Todor → Bozhinov 19:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I would like to invite you all to participate in a discussion at this thread regarding bilateral relations between two countries. All articles related to foreign relations between countries are now under the scope of WikiProject Foreign relations, a newly created project. We hope that the discussion will result in a more clean and organized way of explaining such relationships. Thank you. Ed ¿Cómo estás? 18:33, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I had created an invitation template for WPTR a while back at {{ WPTR-Invitation}} and I thought a similar one could be used here. The code is {{ WPBG-Invitation}}. Feel free to modify it to suit WPBG better if needed. Baristarim 21:22, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I was thinking that maybe you would like to join the WikiProject Bulgaria. There you can also find and contact users who are trying to improve Bulgaria-related articles. If you would like to get involved, just visit the participants page and/or inquire at the project's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. |
Hey,
I was just looking at an article in your WikiProject, and noticed a redlink to GA-Class Bulgaria articles. There was an errant mass-deletion of various categories some while back. You need to check all your cats and see if others are missing too!-- Ling.Nut 19:25, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed that in the many new articles about (a.o.) Sofia suburbs, the decare is used as an area unit. I would suggest to use hectares (=10 decares) instead, as this is a much more common unit in the English-speaking world. I've started to edit some of the articles already.

Does anyone know how to make it work? Right now, it seems to just stick the full banner in the overarching nesting box, but doesn't get minimized like others I've seen. - Bbik 21:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
I was surprised that the Hadzhi Dimitar and to lesser extent Haiduti (because it covers haiduti from several countries) didn't fall under the banner of the wikiproject bulgaria when they are clearly valid pieces of Bulgarian history. Is there any way to add them? VmanBG 14:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

After browsing trough the Wiki articles devoted to the World Wars and the seperate front it seems that the articles involving Bulgaria are in need of revision. The overall Balkan Theather of Operations (for WWI) article and the different fronts (Serbian, Romanian, Macedonian etc.) are severely lacking information about Bulgarian unit names, strenght, casualties, commanding officers, overall tactical and strategic situation of the army. Worst are the articles for the different battles (Ovche pole, Morava, Doiran, Tutrakan etc.) which baraly give any usefull info, with possibly the exception of the Tutrakan Epopee, though this could also be expanded.
I would, but sadly my English isn't all that great. Still, I'll work on the articles, but I hope someone can check them after that?
As a member of WikiProject Football I'm naturally very interested in football. This interest also include Bulgarian football of wich my knowledge is regrettably poor. The 2006-07 season of the "A" group seem to have been rather less fortunate for Chernomorets Burgas Sofia with a points deduction and all losses except from one draw. This sparks a lot of interest, as well as the club's name and its connections to Chernomorets 919. As I understand, there are quite a few Chernomorets teams from different parts of Bulgaria, including a third Chernomorets Burgas team in the Amateur "V" Group. Unfortunatly it's difficult to get information on Bulgarian football for a non-Bulgarian. So, if a football-interested member of WikiProject Bulgaria would like to enlighten the Footballing community on Wikipedia and the rest of the world on any of these subjects I know I wouldn´t be the only one who would be very grateful.

can anyone translate the bulgarian (church slavonic?) words on this [4] (click 2-3x to enlarge) picture to english? -- 78.55.242.157 ( talk) 20:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
“ | Magicians and healers are devil's servants, that's why the devil often [...] and plays in front of those (that come to them). And what they (water) and feed is devil's vileness. Those who abandon God, the laws and the church and go to healers, they are not God's, but devil's servants. | ” |
The parts in round brackets I am not sure about. The [...] part contains two verbs that I cannot read well. Hope I was of help :) The language is Bulgarian, somewhat archaic though. Curious picture, by the way. Best, Todor → Bozhinov 18:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Deciphering an inscription is an interesting challenge for me, so I had a go at this. Wikipedia has a different
color photo of that painting plus two of its neighbors; I located
another version of this that I like better (Creative Commons 2.5 licensing) and downloaded it. Then I set to work with Paint Shop Pro. I adjusted perspective, and uploaded
that, I got brave and put it on Commons.
Then I extracted only the part of the photo that matches the Krankenbehandlung... image, and mega-tweaked color (have not uploaded this yet oops! I mistakenly uploaded that file first, [[
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Detail_of_Rila_Monastery_wall_painting.jpg here), so if you want to have a look at it, you can!
Finally, I extracted the inscription only, and played with various parameters to make the writing as clear as I could. I've also upload this, but I not on Commons, because I don't think it's keeper-quality (correct me if I'm wrong) - but I want other people to see what my tweaking made of the inscription. Here is what I think it says (I can't seem to find the proper character for у):
“ | Магесницыте и вражілицыте са дѧволски слуги за това и дѧволъ о многосе радува, скача, и играе, предъ оніѧ, що идат при ни, и това |
” |
Translation:
“ | Magicians and healers are servants of the devil that's why the devil rejoices greatly, jumps around (cavorts?), and plays in front of people who come to them, and |
” |
If this looks correct to people, then I can enter this info in the description(s) - but it'd be nice to have all the alphabet details correct including stress marks, and I'm not quite up to that, myself. — Martha ( talk) 03:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
So, User:Cameltrader/Rila monastery inscription is looking very good to me (I looked long and hard to find that lovely old "у" character, but I guess it must be considered simply a calligraphic variant). What's next, on this? Should I put both my earlier version of that panel, and the inscription-work, on Commons, and get them deleted from Wikipedia where they now are? If I do that, how can I link them to the larger picture? And...is it WORTH it? or is it just a curiosity? I can incorporate the text and/or translation into the "description", too. Advice? — Martha ( talk) 23:43, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello there, as I just read Simeon I of Bulgaria, how can I tell if the sources listed under References and Footnotes is accountable in the eyes of a non-Bulgarian language user? Ktsquare (talk) 03:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I've been eyeing the Dospat Dam page for some time. I have some beautiful photos of this place, and a bit of knowledge about it (plus, I read Bulgarian well). I have two questions at the moment:
I stumbled on the page Tryphon Zarezan — why would this be the transliteration of this name? Is there some precedent that I don't know about? I know Bg well, and it would never occur to me to search for Трифон зарезан with that spelling! I find also a stub for Saint Trifon (supporting my preferred spelling), but I also find a (brief) article for Saint Tryphon of Pechenga (supporting this spelling). Unless there is solid historical (or other?) precedent for the "Tryphon" spelling, can't we stop it before it multiplies??? — Martha ( talk) 00:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Fellows, please comment on whether we should keep these articles: Severozapaden, Severoiztochen, Severen tsentralen, Yugoiztochen, Yugozapaden, Yuzhen tsentralen. They are not (yet) formatted, categorised, linked, and interwikied, the titles are bad (nothing more than transliterated compass directions), and I think the content has barely any encyclopaedic value. -- Cameltrader ( talk) 10:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Currently, 1580 articles are assigned to this project, of which 234, or 14.8%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 14 July 2008.) Are you interested in finding out more? I am offering to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings for details. More than 150 projects and work groups have already subscribed, and adding a subscription for yours is easy - just place a template on your project page.

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 22:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Bulgaria, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Bulgaria, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added.
The articles in question are listed in Category:Bulgaria articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:
...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 306 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.
By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.
The articles are all marked with {{ coord missing}} tags, which need to be replaced with {{ coord}} tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Wikipedia:Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members. Please let me know if this is useful, or if you have any questions! -- The Anome ( talk) 09:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello everyone, without discussing, User:Mukadderat has began forking some of my articles on the localities in Pleven Province. What he did was essentially copy content from the town article and the Pleven Province article to make a municipality stub.
Now, he claims that we have a precedent with the bot-created stub municipality articles on the BG and RU Wikipedias. I say we have a precedent in the town+municipality one-article solution used by Serbian and Norwegian places: see e.g. Kraljevo, Bosilegrad, etc. I believe the better solution is to unite the two in one article for the sake of writing an actual article: if we split content before it is ready to be split, we'd end up on countless stubs on the Geography of Pleven, History of Pleven, Pleven municipality, and no complete article on Pleven itself. The user responded by copying my writing style and my points and writing the opposite: a classic method of trolling, and reverted all my changes.
That has forced me to organize this vote. Please voice your opinion whether we should have administrative centre + municipality in one article (example: the GA Chiprovtsi), or in two separate articles (example: Dolna Mitropoliya and Dolna Mitropoliya municipality).
The vote is to last one–two weeks, depending on how many opinions we can get.
Editor behavior. Todor-Bozhinov presents his opinion in absolutely non-neutral tone presenting me as a brainless idiot and troll and starts the vote without bothering to present opposing pointrs of view in equally balanced way. I can go exactly in the same way. SO let us see here. User Todor without even discussing with me started reverting my edits being endlessly sure he is right and other wikipedian in not. He falely claims that I am "forking" his articles. He probably has to read and understand what WP:FORK in wikipedia means. Furthermore, during his reverts he deleted new content added by me. His behaviour is clear demionstration of WP:OWNership and lack of desire to let other people edit text he created. Please be advised that once you put something in wikipedia you no longer own it, and other people may move your content whenever they want. I have never crossed my paths with this editor so far and his animosity shown in some wording is worrisome. Mukadderat ( talk) 15:38, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Article content My points were presented in Talk:Pleven Province#Pleven province municipalities and I received no convincing counter-argumens. Basically, a town and the corresponding obshtina are very different entities. Wikipedia is not paper and I see no reason why these data must be kept in one place. There is no almost no common content which would benefit from putting into one article. The way wikipedia works, we expand articles by adding more content. Please expand obshtina articles. Please take a look into pages, e.g., bg:Община Червен бряг and see that there is plenty of content possible for separate obshtina articles. I am starting to expand the pages, see Cherven Bryag municipality for my first work. Please join the work, not the fight. Mukadderat ( talk) 15:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Why don't we have a Barnstar to reward editors who have written exceptional articles relating to Bulgaria, or have otherwise furthered the work of WikiProject Bulgaria? Barnstars are part of the Kindness Campaign and are meant to promote civility and WikiLove. Many other country related WikiProjects have them, and I think it will have a very positive impact on the Project Community and would encourage other editors to get involved in improving and writing articles about Bulgaria. Please give your opinions on this proposal below. P.Marlow ( talk) 15:08, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Here are my ideas for designs:
Also I don't know what we could award them for. Please comment what you think of them.
and The Bulgaria Barnstar of National Merit may be awarded to an editor who contributes significantly to expand or improve Wikipedia's coverage of Bulgaria as the caption. The same applies for the ribbon equivalent. I will shortly make templates for both.
Here is the template:

this WikiAward was given to WikiProject Bulgaria by P.Marlow ( talk) on 20:36, 8 November 2008 (UTC) |
and for what it should be awarded:
The Bulgaria Barnstar of National Merit is awarded to users who have made extraordinary contributions to Bulgaria-related articles, and to any editor who contributes significantly to expand or improve Wikipedia's coverage of Bulgaria.
To give it to someone you have to type {{subst:Bulgaria Barnstar of National Merit|message ~~~~}}

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! Count Blofeld 14:32, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
I made an overview about what naming style for municipality articles is currently used. You can see it at Category_talk:Municipalities_by_country#Naming. Only few contries have municipality articles that can be identified as such from looking at the title alone. BG is on of the 10 or so front runners. Also I saw that other entities further up in the hierarchy use uppercase, e.g. it is "Abc Province" not "Abc province". How about joining Denmark, Sweden, Venezuela etc. in their Abc Municipality naming scheme? From the above discussion I guess the articles are quite fresh, so the sooner the switch is done the less work in fixing links and redirects is required. I personally think the switch is inevitable in the long run anyway. Thoughts? LocodeMaster ( talk) 19:22, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Yes I also usually insist that they are capitalised, I in fact moved most of the Central American districts to ...District. However in the case of municipalities, this is a matter of greater debate. Normall y I see municipality in lower casing such as has been done with Mexico etc. However they should be consistent I think. One solution might be to change the convention to Municipality of .....

anything more about Battle of the Red Wall. I happened upon the article while working through WWI battles for WP:MILHIST. The way it's written struck me as a little bit odd, and I can't find anything about it through Google searches. Does anyone know any English-languages sources that mention this battle, online or offline? Many thanks, The Land ( talk) 13:13, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Tim Group was about to die as a proposed deletion. The existing article had major issues, so I replaced it with a 1-line stub.

I want to expand the article about Dobruja in a month or so, and if we want to propose it for WP:GA it needs a decent geography section. After some searches, I was able to find an up-to-date(1980s) reliable source that deals with the geography of the Bulgarian part Dobruja: the first chapter of Istorija na Dobrudzha, vol. I. However, it is in Bulgarian, and I know too little to make use of it on my own and OCR-izing it to try Google-translating it is a very tedious process. Could one or more Bulgarian speakers take a look at that chapter I scanned and uploaded at this address, make an adequate abstract and insert it in the Dobruja article (or even create a new article about the Geography of Dobruja if he finds it necessary)? Note that on page no. 10 it was just a generic topographic map of the region, and I haven't included it in the scan. Baltaci ( talk) 02:40, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Dear all,
the picture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kozhuh-rupite-imagesfrombulgaria.jpg placed in this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupite do not contains Kozhuh hill. It contains Skalata hill. See this map:

I have spend about 15 days investigating local herpetofauna on both hills during last three years.
Kozhuh hill has quite different shape than Skalata hill. And through the middle of the Kozhuh hill leads electrical line on high columns, which are not at Skalata hill as well as mentioned picture.
I'am sorry for my English and maybe bad location of this post.

I recently wrote the article SM UB-45 about a German submarine that sank off Varna in November 1916. I've found a Bulgarian-language article that may give additional information about UB-45, and I'm hoping that someone who reads Bulgarian can confirm some details I have gleaned from a Google translation and possibly answer some questions. The article is on pages 45–48 of this pdf file of a Bulgarian magazine/journal.
This is what I think the article says:

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Can anyone provide a citable source for an approximate conversion of the lev to either USD or GBP in the 1930s?

Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks.

A proposal has been posted for a contest between all 200 country WikiProjects. We're looking for judges, coordinators, ideas, and feedback.
The Transhumanist 00:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

I am interested in joining this project, seeing as I am a Bulgarian born in the UK.
How do I join the project, may I ask?
The main service I am offering is direct translation of articles from Bulgarian to English, but I am of more use than simply translating. I am also offering myself up as a proofreader, seeing as I already spend vast amounts of time reading (and correcting) Wikipedia articles), so I might as well be useful in the meantime.
I am 100% supportive of increasing knowledge of Bulgaria around the world (too many people in the UK cannot even point out Bulgaria on a map, think we speak Russian, think we are still under communist rule and believe we are a third world country!)
In reference to standardisation, I recommend that the chosen regional variant of all Bulgarian pages on EN Wikipedia is British English, except when the article is about America/Canada/Australia/etc. and Bulgaria or Bulgaria's influence in such countries, or when quoting names or text. The reasoning behind this is not only the proximity of the United Kingdom to Bulgaria, but also to the fact that the Government has adopted British English in signposting infrastructure (e.g. roads) and education (teaching of english in schools). Usage of GB-EN in both signposting and education is EU policy (I am led to believe). Also, standardisation will eliminate any possibility of edit wars and disputes over spelling, grammar and word usage corrections.
The Z UKBG (talk), 28/10/09 @ 16:57 UTC
Well, if you have time, there is plenty of work to do :) For example some sections of the First Bulgarian Empire and Second Bulgarian Empire would probably needed to be rewritten; the article Battle of the Gates of Trajan is a candidate for GA and you can correct punctuational or stylistic mistake. You may see and correct the mistakes in Church of St Sophia or the Old Bishopric because I bet that there are plenty of them since I am not sure how those thing would sound in English - the article is a translation from the Bulgarian one and you can see what is meant of the English text is confusing :) You can make articles for the birth places of you relatives. Those are only suggestions. Поздрави! -- Gligan ( talk) 11:57, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello everyone. I am currently updating some of the functions in the edit window here in Wikipedia. Below the edit window we have a list of Cyrillic characters, so it should be easier to insert them in articles.

Greetings everybody.
User:Barbov has created a new stub template for Bulgarian politicians - {{ Bulgaria-politician-stub}} - and listed it on the proposal page of WikiProject Stub Sorting WP:WSS (usually, it is the other way around.) The reason I am writing to you is that I could only find 57 stub articles relating to Bulgarian politicians, and our stardard requirement to approve a new stub template is that it is used on 60 stub articles. So if any of you could, say, create 5 new stubs articles, the template will be sure to be approved. It probably will be anyway, but reaching 60-65 stubs will make it certain. Any new articles don't have to contain much information - e.g. "XYZ is a Bulgarian politician. He / she has been a member of Parliament since ... representing the ... political party."
If any of you create these missing articles, please tag them with either {{ Bulgaria-politician-stub}} or both {{ Bulgaria-bio-stub}} and {{ euro-politician-stub}}. (I've used the last solution myself.) If the template is approved, I will update all articles to use the new template. If any of you create the "missing" stubs, please tell us where the proposal is listed on [1] Best regards from WP:WSS. Valentinian (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello! I've been recently trying to make the Bulgarian town template look better by making it a real infobox with optional parameters and so. I'd like to include some space for a
coat of arms (герб) left of the map and a Cyrillic name for the town under the {{PAGENAME}} (the PAGENAME I feel should be only displayed when there's no, say, {{{NAME}}} specified), an optional parameter for the party of the mayor displaying it <small></small> and in parentheses (скоби) right of his name, a parameter for the municipality (община) and other optional parameters that one would include in an infobox. Could someone more experienced with wiki and HTML markup make these changes to
Template:TownBG or give some hints. I've been looking at other templates' sources and could ultimately cope with the task, but it's not an easy job after all.

I think some work should be done on categorisation and naming of Bulgaria-related subjects. I think for artificial lakes (яаэовири), "Dam" should be used for the barrier and "Reservoir" for the lake behind it. "Mountains of Bulgaria" should be renamed "Mountain Ranges of Bulgaria", containing the ranges (planini) and subcategories for each range that contain the mountain peaks of that range. Comments?

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 16:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

Or whatever you want to do with them.
The list of rules are in User:AlexNewArtBot/Bulgaria, there is also the log on the User:AlexNewArtBot/BulgariaLog explaining the rules that sent an article to the search results (the log is cleared every day, so try to look into the history of the log).

I've noticed that in the many new articles about (a.o.) Sofia suburbs, the decare is used as an area unit.

I was surprised that the Hadzhi Dimitar and to lesser extent Haiduti (because it covers haiduti from several countries) didn't fall under the banner of the wikiproject bulgaria when they are clearly valid pieces of Bulgarian history. Is there any way to add them? VmanBG 14:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

After browsing trough the Wiki articles devoted to the World Wars and the seperate front it seems that the articles involving Bulgaria are in need of revision. The overall Balkan Theather of Operations (for WWI) article and the different fronts (Serbian, Romanian, Macedonian etc.) are severely lacking information about Bulgarian unit names, strenght, casualties, commanding officers, overall tactical and strategic situation of the army. Worst are the articles for the different battles (Ovche pole, Morava, Doiran, Tutrakan etc.) which baraly give any usefull info, with possibly the exception of the Tutrakan Epopee, though this could also be expanded.
I would, but sadly my English isn't all that great. Still, I'll work on the articles, but I hope someone can check them after that?
As a member of WikiProject Football I'm naturally very interested in football. This interest also include Bulgarian football of wich my knowledge is regrettably poor. The 2006-07 season of the "A" group seem to have been rather less fortunate for Chernomorets Burgas Sofia with a points deduction and all losses except from one draw. This sparks a lot of interest, as well as the club's name and its connections to Chernomorets 919. As I understand, there are quite a few Chernomorets teams from different parts of Bulgaria, including a third Chernomorets Burgas team in the Amateur "V" Group. Unfortunatly it's difficult to get information on Bulgarian football for a non-Bulgarian. So, if a football-interested member of WikiProject Bulgaria would like to enlighten the Footballing community on Wikipedia and the rest of the world on any of these subjects I know I wouldn´t be the only one who would be very grateful.

“ | Magicians and healers are devil's servants, that's why the devil often [...] and plays in front of those (that come to them). And what they (water) and feed is devil's vileness. Those who abandon God, the laws and the church and go to healers, they are not God's, but devil's servants. | ” |
The parts in round brackets I am not sure about. The [...] part contains two verbs that I cannot read well. Hope I was of help :) The language is Bulgarian, somewhat archaic though. Curious picture, by the way. Best, Todor → Bozhinov 18:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Deciphering an inscription is an interesting challenge for me, so I had a go at this. Wikipedia has a different
color photo of that painting plus two of its neighbors; I located
another version of this that I like better (Creative Commons 2.5 licensing) and downloaded it. Then I set to work with Paint Shop Pro. I adjusted perspective, and uploaded
that, I got brave and put it on Commons.
Then I extracted only the part of the photo that matches the Krankenbehandlung... image, and mega-tweaked color (have not uploaded this yet oops! I mistakenly uploaded that file first, [[
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Detail_of_Rila_Monastery_wall_painting.jpg here), so if you want to have a look at it, you can!
Finally, I extracted the inscription only, and played with various parameters to make the writing as clear as I could. I've also upload this, but I not on Commons, because I don't think it's keeper-quality (correct me if I'm wrong) - but I want other people to see what my tweaking made of the inscription. Here is what I think it says (I can't seem to find the proper character for у):
“ | Магесницыте и вражілицыте са дѧволски слуги за това и дѧволъ о многосе радува, скача, и играе, предъ оніѧ, що идат при ни, и това |
” |
Translation:
“ | Magicians and healers are servants of the devil that's why the devil rejoices greatly, jumps around (cavorts?), and plays in front of people who come to them, and |
” |
If this looks correct to people, then I can enter this info in the description(s) - but it'd be nice to have all the alphabet details correct including stress marks, and I'm not quite up to that, myself. — Martha ( talk) 03:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
So, User:Cameltrader/Rila monastery inscription is looking very good to me (I looked long and hard to find that lovely old "у" character, but I guess it must be considered simply a calligraphic variant). What's next, on this? Should I put both my earlier version of that panel, and the inscription-work, on Commons, and get them deleted from Wikipedia where they now are? If I do that, how can I link them to the larger picture? And...is it WORTH it? or is it just a curiosity? I can incorporate the text and/or translation into the "description", too.

I've been eyeing the Dospat Dam page for some time. I have some beautiful photos of this place, and a bit of knowledge about it (plus, I read Bulgarian well). I have two questions at the moment:
I stumbled on the page Tryphon Zarezan — why would this be the transliteration of this name? Is there some precedent that I don't know about? I know Bg well, and it would never occur to me to search for Трифон зарезан with that spelling! I find also a stub for Saint Trifon (supporting my preferred spelling), but I also find a (brief) article for Saint Tryphon of Pechenga (supporting this spelling). Unless there is solid historical (or other?) precedent for the "Tryphon" spelling, can't we stop it before it multiplies??? — Martha ( talk) 00:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Fellows, please comment on whether we should keep these articles: Severozapaden, Severoiztochen, Severen tsentralen, Yugoiztochen, Yugozapaden, Yuzhen tsentralen. They are not (yet) formatted, categorised, linked, and interwikied, the titles are bad (nothing more than transliterated compass directions), and I think the content has barely any encyclopaedic value. -- Cameltrader ( talk) 10:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme! For the 1.0 Editorial Team, §hepBot ( Disable) 22:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Currently, 1580 articles are assigned to this project, of which 234, or 14.8%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 14 July 2008.) Are you interested in finding out more? I am offering to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings for details. More than 150 projects and work groups have already subscribed, and adding a subscription for yours is easy - just place a template on your project page.

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 22:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Bulgaria, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Bulgaria, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added.
The articles in question are listed in Category:Bulgaria articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:
...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 306 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.
By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.
The articles are all marked with {{ coord missing}} tags, which need to be replaced with {{ coord}} tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Wikipedia:Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members. Please let me know if this is useful, or if you have any questions! -- The Anome ( talk) 09:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello everyone, without discussing, User:Mukadderat has began forking some of my articles on the localities in Pleven Province. What he did was essentially copy content from the town article and the Pleven Province article to make a municipality stub.
Now, he claims that we have a precedent with the bot-created stub municipality articles on the BG and RU Wikipedias. I say we have a precedent in the town+municipality one-article solution used by Serbian and Norwegian places: see e.g. Kraljevo, Bosilegrad, etc. I believe the better solution is to unite the two in one article for the sake of writing an actual article: if we split content before it is ready to be split, we'd end up on countless stubs on the Geography of Pleven, History of Pleven, Pleven municipality, and no complete article on Pleven itself. The user responded by copying my writing style and my points and writing the opposite: a classic method of trolling, and reverted all my changes.
That has forced me to organize this vote. Please voice your opinion whether we should have administrative centre + municipality in one article (example: the GA Chiprovtsi), or in two separate articles (example: Dolna Mitropoliya and Dolna Mitropoliya municipality).
The vote is to last one–two weeks, depending on how many opinions we can get.
Editor behavior. Todor-Bozhinov presents his opinion in absolutely non-neutral tone presenting me as a brainless idiot and troll and starts the vote without bothering to present opposing pointrs of view in equally balanced way. I can go exactly in the same way. SO let us see here. User Todor without even discussing with me started reverting my edits being endlessly sure he is right and other wikipedian in not. He falely claims that I am "forking" his articles. He probably has to read and understand what WP:FORK in wikipedia means. Furthermore, during his reverts he deleted new content added by me. His behaviour is clear demionstration of WP:OWNership and lack of desire to let other people edit text he created. Please be advised that once you put something in wikipedia you no longer own it, and other people may move your content whenever they want. I have never crossed my paths with this editor so far and his animosity shown in some wording is worrisome. Mukadderat ( talk) 15:38, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Article content My points were presented in Talk:Pleven Province#Pleven province municipalities and I received no convincing counter-argumens. Basically, a town and the corresponding obshtina are very different entities. Wikipedia is not paper and I see no reason why these data must be kept in one place. There is no almost no common content which would benefit from putting into one article. The way wikipedia works, we expand articles by adding more content. Please expand obshtina articles. Please take a look into pages, e.g., bg:Община Червен бряг and see that there is plenty of content possible for separate obshtina articles. I am starting to expand the pages, see Cherven Bryag municipality for my first work. Please join the work, not the fight. Mukadderat ( talk) 15:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Why don't we have a Barnstar to reward editors who have written exceptional articles relating to Bulgaria, or have otherwise furthered the work of WikiProject Bulgaria? Barnstars are part of the Kindness Campaign and are meant to promote civility and WikiLove.

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!

I made an overview about what naming style for municipality articles is currently used. You can see it at Category_talk:Municipalities_by_country#Naming. Only few contries have municipality articles that can be identified as such from looking at the title alone. BG is on of the 10 or so front runners. Also I saw that other entities further up in the hierarchy use uppercase, e.g. it is "Abc Province" not "Abc province". How about joining Denmark, Sweden, Venezuela etc. in their Abc Municipality naming scheme? From the above discussion I guess the articles are quite fresh, so the sooner the switch is done the less work in fixing links and redirects is required. I personally think the switch is inevitable in the long run anyway. Thoughts? LocodeMaster ( talk) 19:22, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Yes I also usually insist that they are capitalised, I in fact moved most of the Central American districts to ...District. However in the case of municipalities, this is a matter of greater debate. Normall y I see municipality in lower casing such as has been done with Mexico etc. However they should be consistent I think. One solution might be to change the convention to Municipality of .....

I want to expand the article about Dobruja in a month or so, and if we want to propose it for WP:GA it needs a decent geography section. After some searches, I was able to find an up-to-date(1980s) reliable source that deals with the geography of the Bulgarian part Dobruja: the first chapter of Istorija na Dobrudzha, vol. I. However, it is in Bulgarian, and I know too little to make use of it on my own and OCR-izing it to try Google-translating it is a very tedious process. Could one or more Bulgarian speakers take a look at that chapter I scanned and uploaded at this address, make an adequate abstract and insert it in the Dobruja article (or even create a new article about the Geography of Dobruja if he finds it necessary)? Note that on page no. 10 it was just a generic topographic map of the region, and I haven't included it in the scan. Baltaci ( talk) 02:40, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I have spend about 15 days investigating local herpetofauna on both hills during last three years.
Kozhuh hill has quite different shape than Skalata hill. And through the middle of the Kozhuh hill leads electrical line on high columns, which are not at Skalata hill as well as mentioned picture.

I've found a Bulgarian-language article that may give additional information about UB-45, and I'm hoping that someone who reads Bulgarian can confirm some details I have gleaned from a Google translation and possibly answer some questions.

This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

I am interested in joining this project, seeing as I am a Bulgarian born in the UK.
How do I join the project, may I ask?
The main service I am offering is direct translation of articles from Bulgarian to English, but I am of more use than simply translating. I am also offering myself up as a proofreader, seeing as I already spend vast amounts of time reading (and correcting) Wikipedia articles), so I might as well be useful in the meantime.
I am 100% supportive of increasing knowledge of Bulgaria around the world (too many people in the UK cannot even point out Bulgaria on a map, think we speak Russian, think we are still under communist rule and believe we are a third world country!)
In reference to standardisation, I recommend that the chosen regional variant of all Bulgarian pages on EN Wikipedia is British English, except when the article is about America/Canada/Australia/etc. and Bulgaria or Bulgaria's influence in such countries, or when quoting names or text. The reasoning behind this is not only the proximity of the United Kingdom to Bulgaria, but also to the fact that the Government has adopted British English in signposting infrastructure (e.g. roads) and education (teaching of english in schools). Usage of GB-EN in both signposting and education is EU policy (I am led to believe). Also, standardisation will eliminate any possibility of edit wars and disputes over spelling, grammar and word usage corrections.

Well, if you have time, there is plenty of work to do :) For example some sections of the First Bulgarian Empire and Second Bulgarian Empire would probably needed to be rewritten; the article Battle of the Gates of Trajan is a candidate for GA and you can correct punctuational or stylistic mistake. You may see and correct the mistakes in Church of St Sophia or the Old Bishopric because I bet that there are plenty of them since I am not sure how those thing would sound in English - the article is a translation from the Bulgarian one and you can see what is meant of the English text is confusing :) You can make articles for the birth places of you relatives. Those are only suggestions. Поздрави! -- Gligan ( talk) 11:57, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello everyone. I am currently updating some of the functions in the edit window here in Wikipedia. Below the edit window we have a list of Cyrillic characters, so it should be easier to insert them in articles. That list is currently not complete, so I would need some help from some editors than can read and write Cyrillic. See MediaWiki talk:Edittools#Cyrillic (2).
Oh, and please don't start a discussion about the edittools here on this page, instead come to that page.

Dear Sir/Madam,
You wrote to me: "Very few or no other articles link to it. Please help introduce links to this page from other articles related to it. " I tried to add some external links but you have just deleted them. I cannot understand what I should do. Please tell me what do you mean by "other articles related to it".
Yours faithfully, V.N. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vladislava1306 ( talk • contribs) 22:19, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Actually, you wrote that you have deleted only the youtube link. But the others are aslo gone. Does that mean I can add them again (without the youtube link)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vladislava1306 ( talk • contribs) 22:33, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for helping me! I am sorry that I bother you. I hope you and I finally succeed in creating this page! :)

I would like to ask you why the remarks at the top of the page are still there. I think I did what they adviced me. Vladislava1306 ( talk) 09:05, 22 December 2009 (UTC)Vladislava1306
Hello! Thank you very much for helping me. I would like to ask why the wiki page "Konstantin Evtimov" does not come out when I type "Konstantin Evtimov" in Google. Yesterday it worked. If it is because of the remarks, then why other pages WITH remarks do come out in Google. For example the page "Arto Noras" does not have even one reference but when I type "Arto Noras" in Google, it comes out in the first place! Please tell me where is the problem. Thank you!

Супер! :) Много благодаря! Лошото е, че за първи път се занимавам с такова нещо и малко ми е трудно да разбера какви точно са изискванията. Не разбирам защо хем искате още информация, хем казвате, че тази е много и трябва да се намали.. Радвам се че можем да си пишем на български :))) Ако може не трийте нищо, ще се опитам да го променя.
