Welcome!

Welcome, SamiraJ!

I'm Hersfold, and I noticed that you haven't been welcomed yet, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on 6,912,283 articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:- Template:Multicol

Be Bold!
Don't let grumpy users scare you off
Policies, guidelines, and rules
How to create a page, edit a page and write a great article
Who, what, why?
A handy tutorial, and a picture tutorial

Template:Multicol-end You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.

I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, Hersfold 15:45, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Second Bulgarian Empire

That is a view supported only by the Romanian historians and, like the case of the Macedonians with Samuel of Bulgaria and Alexander the Great, makes no sense. Kaloyan was called by most western sources King/Emperor of the Bulgarians and the Vlachs but it does not mean that the country should be called "Vlach-Bulgarian Empire", or even more laughably, "Romanian-Bulgarian Empire" (there was nothing like "Romania" or "Romanians" in 13th century). And then again, you cannot say that there was anything like Vlach-Bulgarian Empire in the middle 13th century or in 14th century and that article is about the Second Bulgarian Empire, which existed between 1185 and 1396. Therefore, the two names are not synonymous. Regards, --Gligan (talk) 12:04, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
