Portals

Здравей! Have you seen the recent creation Portal:Macedonia (there is also a Portal:Bulgaria, Portal:People's Republic of China etc). Feel free to share your thoughts :-) --Latinus 14:18, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I do not think the portal name is appropriate. If there's a vote I'll vote for Portal:Republic of Macedonia. Thanks for the pointer. FunkyFly 15:51, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

3RR

Please do not keep undoing other people's edits without discussing them first. This is considered impolite and unproductive. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Kafziel 04:56, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

ArbCom

Hi, take a look at WP:RFAR if you like. User:Bitola is trying to get the administration to impose renaming Republic of Macedonia to Macedonia and Macedonians (ethnic group) to Macedonians. I have presented my (Greek) views on the issue. You can make a statement and endorse or oppose Bitola's request if you like (just be very polite). --Latinus 18:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I looked into it but I'm not listed under the involved users, so I'll just observe for now. FunkyFly 18:14, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm also thinking of starting a renaming poll for that portal of theirs. I saw the diff you posted at ChrisO's talk page - this is getting out of hand; I have no problem with them worrying about their national identity and using their self-identifying names (with approppriate disambiguation as per Wikipedia:Naming conflict - that bit about the disambiguation always gets overlooked...), but I think they're going too far. Look at what User:Macedonia did yesterday. --Latinus 18:22, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I saw it, for an obnoxious addition like that one, it seems like he's just testing how far he can go before he can be reverted. FunkyFly 20:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I always thought that Bulgarians are good friends of Macedonians and have an understanding and sympathy regarding our name and nationality (just to mention that Bulgaria was the first country that recognized the independence of Macedonia and it was done under the constitutional name, we have similar languages, music, culture etc…), but, unfortunately, I was probably wrong…Bitola 11:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

We were only discussing Macedonia's map, and its questionable value. And yes, Bulgaria was the first to recognize Macedonia under the name of "Republic of Macedonia", not Macedonia. I dont see how the rest of the comments have anything to do with the discussion. FunkyFly 15:49, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I have a funny feeling that Bitola is evoking the divide and rule principle ;-) This is not about alliances - it's about NPOV. --Latinus 12:15, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Please see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Macedonia if you can. --Latinus 12:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I just voted. FunkyFly 15:22, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

My posts

What is the matter with you? Why are you messing with my posts? Have you revised Wikipedia rules? You can add a comment about it, but not interfere and change my messages. Bomac 17:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I did not know that the picture is part of your post, so chill out. I made my own copy now. FunkyFly 17:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

FYROM

I believe what we've been searching for is simply this: WP:NPOV#Undue weight

"NPOV says that the article should fairly represent all significant viewpoints, in proportion to the prominence of each."

WikiProject Bulgaria

Hello! WikiProject Bulgaria, devoted to better organizing, maintaining and developing the network of Bulgaria-related articles, is currently gathering members in order to be started. If you're interested in participating, add your name to the "Interested Wikipedians" subsection of the proposed project's section in the list of proposed WikiProjects. → Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov → 16:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Ами няма нищо точно определено и поставено като задача, всеки си избира върху какво да работи и в проекта няма нищо задължаващо, целта е хората, които работят по теми свързани с България, да могат да си взаимодействат и сътрудничат, да обсъждат проблемни теми и всичко това за да бъдем по-ефективни като цяло. Вместо разпиляна група от потребители се превръщаме в нещо по-организирано, в отбор. За много други държави има уикипроекти, че даже и за отделни градове, което показва, че наистина вършат работа и има смисъл от тях. Надявам се да съм обяснил добре същността на проекта и ще се радвам, ако се включиш. → Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov → 19:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Bulgarian language

my bad. I only looked at the last few edits made by the anon, which were variant spellings of "place", so i ust reverted all the edits. I'll look closer next time . . . thanks for the heads up --Heah? 08:38, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Linguistics?

When was the last linguistic course you took?

"Object reduplication is the placing in the verb phrase a clitic pronoun which agrees in gender, number and case with the object. In Bulgarian, object reduplication is entirely optional, while in Macedonian object reduplication is compulsory in certain cases." (from my essay)

"Unlike Macedonian and Albanian, however, Bulgarian object reduplication is entirely facultative and thus subject to discourse-bound variation. Although (1a) could also be an acceptable Bulgarian sentence, the reduplicated pronouns 'mu' and 'ja' would not normally be present, i.e. (12) is normal Bulgarian but dialectal, substandard or ungrammatical Macedonian" (from Friedman (1994) - referenced in my essay)

Regarding your other complaint, that I didn't cover lexical differences/similarities. My essay deals with word stress. You'll note that in my essay I put:

There was deliberate care taken to try and purify the lexicon of the standard. "Serbisms" and "Bulgarisms", which had become common due to the influence of these languages in the region were rejected in favour of words from native dialects and archaisms. An example being the word for "event", nastan which was found in certain examples of folk poetry. The Bulgarian and Serb ´ian words that had been in common use were sobitie and dogagaj respectively. This is not to say that there are no Serbisms or Bulgarisms in the language, but rather they were discouraged on a principle of "seeking native material first" (Friedman, 1998).
