Last post from me

Just a last word (I wont post anymore), if you are not interested in my replies then why did you continue to edit war with me and call me a vandal (you still have not properly responded to my queries to back up your statements in calling me a vandal etc). Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.232.75.208 (talk) 12:14, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

i have NOT broken the 3 rever rule (another one of your unexplained comments) - I have not reverted 4 times but 3 times, so I have not broken it. Dont worry, I will not let this injustice pass, I will report you, and the other 3 editors to a couple of admins, and I will explain the WHOLE situation to them, in as much detail as possible, if you think that I will back of easily, you are certainly mistaken. "From now on it is vandalism" again an unjustified comment with no basis I have not once vandalised 9according to wiki rules), at all - if anyone is vandalising it is you,plus the other 3, for removing sourced info and ignoring wikipedia neutrality rules. AGAIN you have not really explained yourself, so just because of other 3 editor's opinions and of yourself (who seem to be pushing their POV) I am now a vandal? I dont think so —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.232.75.208 (talk) 12:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bulgarians

Please direct your attention here. Cheers, m.o.p 02:06, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your very well-composed and reasonable answer.
Though you have the right to go elsewhere on Wikipedia (and, trust me, I understand the value of distancing yourself from a conflict!), would it be alright if you stuck around this issue for a bit longer until we've resolved it? I'd like to make sure every party is happy with as little punishment as possible; punitive measures are for children, not for mature adults.
In terms of compromise, would it be acceptable if the IP editor changed his prose to indicate that this theory has been put forth, but is not confirmed? After all, nobody ever said facts have to be completely proven to be on Wikipedia; if somebody has reported on it, and they're reliable, then it should at least be mentioned. Of course, I'd avoid phrasing any inclusion as "fact A is completely true because party A says so"; rather, "party A has suggested that fact B is really fact A". Would this be an improvement?
Cheers, m.o.p 08:47, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The lack of sources does make things hard. I've suggested a final compromise, in which the information would be moved to the bottom of the Genetic Origins section and trimmed down to avoid giving it undue weight. However, if this isn't sufficient for you guys, then we'll just have to wait for more sources. I've elaborated (a bit) on the 3RR page.
Thank you again for putting the time and effort into your replies, though! Cheers, m.o.p 19:57, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting question

Hello Todor, my friend. :) I have an interesting question for you. I am now reading a book about the interwar Czechoslovak First Republic and there is a short story about an assassinated Bulgarian politician. His name was Rajko Daskalov (Czech transliteration). He was a government minister in the government of Aleksandar Stamboliyski and later an ambassador in Prague. He was assassinated by Macedonian nationalist in August 1923 in Prague. His assassin, Jordan Ciconkov (Czech transliteration), claimed he killed him, because Daskalov (as minister of the interior) persecuted and ordered to kill many Macedonian patriots. Ciconkov was initially freed but later sentenced to 12 years in prison. In 1926 he committed suicide in prison. Daskalov is commemorated by a memorial plaque in the Holeček Street in Prague, at the spot of his assassination. He was buried at the Olšany Cemetery in Prague. Seems like an interesting story. Have you heard about it before? - Darwinek (talk) 15:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. If you would create Daskalov article, let me know. Take care. - Darwinek (talk) 16:29, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just FYI, the assassination spot and the memorial plaque is located at 50°4'39.558"N, 14°24'5.119"E. You can see the plaque here. - Darwinek (talk) 22:35, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. The article looks great, you've done a good job there. It is definitely worth nominating to DYK. I have added some details from the book I have. The only contradiction seems it claims Daskalov was shot on Sunday, 25 August before the noon and died in the Podolí sanatorium at 13:30 the very same day. The WP article claims he died on 26 August. - Darwinek (talk) 11:08, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. According to this website, 26 August 1923 was Sunday, so it is clarified. :) Seems like 25 August was just a tiny mistake in the book. Will you nominate the article for DYK or should I do it? - Darwinek (talk) 12:28, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Todor! I've rewritten Momchil's article, and I'd like you to take a look whenever you have a chance. The English sources are a bit contradictory (especially Fine) on the chronological sequence of his actions, and I'd appreciate some feedback from the Bulgarian side. The Bulgarian source included in the article seems to have some nice info, it'd be nice to include it. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 01:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great work! I've added a few more details and a nice quote from Kantakouzenos. Nice DYK hook. I also feel the article could go for GA at this point, unless you think there might be more to add.

Питания

Greetings! I would like to ask your assistance on several issues.

1. Do you know how to make a parallel list, next to the one here, which would contain the artificial lakes?

Може не съм се изразил хубаво. Мисълта ми е да сложа отделна таблица за язовирите в същия списък, която да е успоредна (отстрани) на тази с езерата. Ако направя каквото ме съветваш (това всъщност го пробвах преди да те питам), таблицата минава отдолу :)
In fact, now I see that there is already such a list. I will just put the table there. Sorry for losing your time on that :D

2. Do you think it would be useful to create a template called "Bulgaria-related lists", containing all lists linked to the country? There is already such category but I think it would be more illustrative to have them in a template. However, I have not yet found anything like that in Wikipedia and that is why I ask for your opinion.

So, I will do it today or these days.

3. Do you know how to make visible the inverted commas in the citations in Peter (diplomat), in the way they are in the Bulgarian-language article?

Thank you very much for that :)

4. Do you think I should write in the talk pages of Ruy Mountain and Milevska Planina that I have put standard maps instead of the older ones?

The map of Central Serbia is not more appropriate in my opinion. It would be a good idea to generate a map which includes relatively equal areas of both countries... but I don't know how to do it. Can you make such a map or tell me exactly how to make it myself?
But in general on that issue, I think that if a mountain/peak or whatever is situated in two countries, if there is no map including both of them, then a map of the country that comes first in alphabetic order should be used. And the same should apply to names, too. Including on Midzhur.

The Round Church is a large partially preserved early medieval Eastern Orthodox church in Preslav, the former capital of the First Bulgarian Empire, today a town in northeastern Bulgaria. Unearthed and first examined in 1927–28, the church dates to the early 10th century, the time of Tsar Simeon I's rule. Considered to be one of the most impressive examples of medieval Bulgarian architecture, the church takes its name from the distinctive shape of one of its three sections, the cella (naos), which is a rotunda that serves as a place of liturgy. The church's design also includes a wide atrium and a rectangular entrance area, or narthex, marked by two circular turrets. The church has been likened to examples of religious architecture from the late Roman Empire, the Caucasus, and even the Carolingian Pre-Romanesque of Charlemagne because of its characteristic plan, which is significantly different from contemporaneous Bulgarian or Byzantine buildings. The church's alternative name, the Golden Church, stems from its possible and popular identification with a "new golden church" in Preslav. The Round Church's rich interior decoration, which makes ample use of mosaics, ceramics and marble details, distinguishes it from other churches in Preslav. (more...)

Thomas the Slav

Hello again Todor! I've just finished a major (and long-intended) overhaul of the article on Thomas the Slav. It is a complex subject where many differing views have had to be represented, and I don't know how it looks to an uninvolved reader. I am also seriously considering splitting off the rebellion to a separate article, and keeping a condensed form at the biographical article. Before going to peer review at WPMILHIST or GA, I'd be grateful if you, as one of the most experienced editors for the period, could run it through whenever you have time and make copyedits or suggestions for clarifications, improvement or even wholesale restructuring as you see fit. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 02:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for taking the time :). I also mostly lean towards keeping the article as it is, since Thomas is primarily known for and through his rebellion. I have however taken it to WPMILHIST peer review to get a few more opinions, and then I'll submit it for GA etc. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 17:24, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Bulgarian monarchs

Здравей! Can you look through the list of Bulgarian monarchs which I am trying to improve, correct my rough style and share your opinion on the general design? My main concerns are:

  • The lead is not very well written, I am sure you can rewrite it in a better manner
  • I wonder if the colours of the table are too bright. What would you suggest? Is it appropriate to colour the currently white boxes of the rulers with very, very light green?
  • Do you think there should be other information in the section "Notes/Death"?

Поздрави, --Gligan (talk) 13:46, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the review :) I have changed the colours to something less bright but I still don't like them very much... I will place the list in Wikipedia.

ПС: Днес пак си направил отлична статия за деспот Шишман. Не знам дали съм ти казвал, но вече съм се отказал да правя статии за наши благородници, защото не разполагам с източниците които ти ползваш, а и да ги имам, стилът ти е просто много по-добър. Мислил ли си да продължиш с подобряване на статии на владетелите? Спомням си, че беше решил да правиш Иван Асен ІІ избрана статия преди време. Като гледам какви статии правиш за благородници, за които не се знаят много факти, би могъл да направиш цялата династия Шишмановци/Срацимировци с добри или избрани статии. Предполагам, времето е най-големият дефицит :) Поздрави, --Gligan (talk) 22:16, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Благодаря за мнението :) Според мен, обаче, не всичко опира само до нивото на езика, но се иска и малко талант за писане. Писането ти се отдава (както и на Константин, който пише че е компютърен инженер, а прилича на византинист, при това добър) и за това статиите ви са страхотни. На мен българското средновековие ми е интересно и много от нещата просто ги знам (почти никога на правя справки за години и т. н.) и може би за това и моите статии в тази област не са за изхвърляне, но определено нямам този талант, за който говоря :):) Като така и така съм седнал да ти пиша общи работи ще ти кажа какво отчасти имам в предвид. Това най-често си личи в увода и заключението, които рядко мога да издокарам и често са ми несъразмерно кратки. Можеш да го видиш и в битката при Булгарофигон, и в Преславския събор, и във Въстанието на Ивайло и т. н. Просто не се сещам какво да напиша.
А иначе има още доста какво да се свърши за средновековна България. Статиите за двете царства трябва да се оправят; има какво да се пипне за българо-византийските войни и битки; трябва да направя статия за икономиката (все не остава време дори да прочета нещо по въпроса); има и други.

Bulgarians in Turkey

Hi again, I see you wrote the 300 000 Bulgarians in Turkey are Turks from Bulgaria, could you check Ethnologue report again there is written "dialect: Pomak", "alternate names: Pomaks" and "language use: Spoken by Muslim Pomaks in Turkey and Greece. Also use Turkish ". I am sure you know that the Pomak refugees from Bulgaria are not the same as Turk refugees from Bulgaria. And to add the turkish newspaper in the article estimates the turkified Pomaks in the country at about 600,000, which means that there is a Pomak community in Turkey.

Hi, Todor. :) Considering you are not a native English speaker and like to use it quite often, you may want to familiarize yourself with the actual meaning of anachronism. The Prilep-Bitola dialect is and always has been part of Macedonian dialectology. The only change was with nomenclature and that is exactly what the source states. Your rewording is unrepresentative of what the source states and could even be interpreted as a distortion. --124.148.245.171 (talk) 11:27, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry if I am wrong because I am relatively inexperienced wikipedian and English is not my native language. But, anyway, I will explain my arguments and please accept my apologize if I am wrong. There are three issues, for now, with this article.
  1. List issue. I think that there is a list in the article. That is a list of sources that can be used to further research the topic of the article. The type of that list is bulleted list. If I am not wrong, two of them are not referenced as source in the text of the article (Бърнард Теодора and last source which is web site on serbian language). That means it is not list of sources referenced in the text of the article, but list of sources for further research the topic of the article. In that case the appropriate name of the section is something like "Further reading" and bulleted list of works within that section should follow chronological order.
  2. Naming issue. I think that you should follow the recommendations of WP:MOS when naming the sections. It is explained that Sources is alternate title for References. You should not have both of them in one article, if I am not wrong.
  3. Referencing style. Naming of the sections contradicts the style you use for referencing, which is WP:CITESHORT if I am not wrong. In that case you should have subtitles "Notes" and "References". And only in the case that works listed within References section are in fact list of referenced works in the text of the article within Notes section you should use alphabet order to list them. If that is the case, you should put two unused sources to new separate section (i.e. External links or Further reading)
Once again, sorry if I am wrong with this. My only intention is to help.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 14:48, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Still not quite right - I think the citation in the article is needed after "She was exiled to a monastery in the beginning of Ivan Asen's reign, after he arranged his marriage to Anna Maria of Hungary." thats the only point in the article where it is mentioned that her exile occured after he took the throne.

There is a tool that has been recommended to me for DYK checking. It should be copy pasted to edit line and it shows if articles meet requests for DYK. When I do that, articles are often categorized as stubs, although they are declared as suitable for DYK. I am now not sure how to interpret it.

javascript:importScript('User:Shubinator/DYKcheck.js'); dykCheck();

--Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:42, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Now when you removed a stub template the above mentioned script does not classify this article as stub. Funny thing is that I was reluctant to remove the stub template because of that classification. Anyway, thank you for good advice.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 13:11, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again my friend. I request your assistance or guidance in Bulgarian Copyright Law. I have written an Hebrew article about Petko Karavelov, including a paragraph about Ekaterina Karavelova, who was an outstanding figgure herself. I scanned a photograph of her from a book in Hebrew. It was taken in the early 40's in Bulgaria by an anonymous photographer. I uploaded the photo in fair use. Do you know if according to Bulgarian Copyright Law this photo is in public domain? (Perhaps Bulgarian Copyright Act of 1993, §28?). Many thanks. --Assayas (talk) 08:12, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

70 years after the author's death is the general rule in Bulgaria. If you are sure the photograph is anonymous, than the rule is 70 years after it was published for the first time. Whichever the case is, it is most probably still copyrighted. I hope this was of help. --Laveol T 12:14, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, that's it. 70 years from author's death or 70 years from publishing if certainly anonymous. It's a close call, but I'd say it's copyrighted to be on the safe side... Thanks for another Bulgaria-related article in Hebrew, it seems that it's more detailed than both the Bulgarian and English versions! Best, — Toдor Boжinov — 12:32, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks. yes, even though the authors' name is not mentioned, because the photo is scanned from a book, makes it copyrighted. Todor, I had the privilege of writing most of the hebrew articles about bulgarian history and politicians. some of them like Petko Staynov [2] do not have an english version. Lately, an article I wrote about the jewish community in plovdiv, (my parents were born there), was elected as a Featured article.[3]. Again many thanks, you are most helpful. --Assayas (talk) 15:58, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, Pula Arena is bigger. I just brought a source of a creative writer who probably doesn't hold Pula as being in the Western Balkans. Serdica is in the Eastern Balkans.

Bulgarian despots

Hello Todor! I've been trying to track down the various despots and add them to the article, and came upon Shishman of Vidin. The article uses Bulgarian sources so I can't verify them, but Fine does not call him a despot (although he is usually meticulous about titles). Can you check the primary source or give me a quotation from the Bulg. sources? Oh, and feel free to correct any mistakes or omissions of mine. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 16:14, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also have trouble with the date George Terter was named despot: Fine says 1284, Guilland says ca. 1279: "Il y avait alors, en Bulgarie, un puissant seigneur, Terter. Michel VIII Paléologue, craignant l'ambition de ce dernier, conseilla à son gendre, le tsar Jean Asen, de le ménager et de se l'attacher par une alliance. Jean Asen donna en conséquence sa propre soeur en mariage à Terter, que Michel VIII créa despote à cette occasion (194). Chassé de son trône par Terter, Jean Asen se réfugia auprès de Michel VIII Paléologue (195). Plus tard, Andronic II Paléologue créa Jean Asen despote de Romanie (196), car il avait été convenu que, si Jean Asen ne recouvrait pas son trône, Jean Asen serait, en conséquence, créé despote." Personally, given the lower status of the despot rank compared to the imperial office, I find it hard to believe that Andronikos would give and even more, that George would accept it. Guilland's dating however is often outdated, so I don't really know... Constantine ✍ 16:27, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. Now, I think I'll leave Shishman out of it, unless we can get more information on him. On George Terter, I'll revert to Guilland's version, it seems more reliable. Now, Guilland also mentions that Ivan Asen was also named despot by Michael VIII. Do you perhaps have source on the exact date? Constantine ✍ 18:57, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info, I'll add it. :) Constantine ✍ 20:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ivan Shishman

Здравей! Бях започнал да разширявам статията за Иван Шишман, и понеже той присъства много в народния фолклор, реших че е добре да има подробна секция и за него, а ако има достатъчно материал, защо не и подсекции. Обаче, май съм неспособен да свърша това като хората. Просто не ми върви писането, когато се отклонява от сухата историческа материя... Би ли могъл ти да напишеш тази секция, както и когато сметнеш за добре? Аз смятах да вкарам и куплети от песен, на български и на английски (Търновска царица много ми харесва, обаче май не е много народна и не се пее само за царя; какво мислиш за това?), да се напише нещо за присъствието му в Софийско и Самоковско, за мястото му в песните и т. н., но дори не мога да се сетя как да ги подредя. В източниците съм посочил някои неща по тематиката, които съм намерил. Засега статията е тук, ако имаш времето и желанието да се захванеш с това, можеш да я преместиш на твоята страница, или направо където й е мястото. И, разбира се, както винаги имам проблем с уводните редове (много са зле) и с оценката на управлението (твърде кратка). Поздрави, --Gligan (talk) 10:39, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Съжалявам, че пиша чак сега, но нямах възможност по-рано... Много благодаря за поправките, които си направил :) Секцията за семейството ще е най-долу и затова още не съм я започнал; книгата на Божилов я нямам. Дано в крайна сметка да излезе нещо от тази статия :):) Поздрави, --Gligan (talk) 14:26, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sanjak of Niš in Ottoman Empire

I created article Sanjak of Niš. Then, after a while, I noticed that there is another article with name Niš Eyalet. Then, after I researched for a while, I noticed that sources contradict each other (or not?) because they say that in period 1864—1878 Sanjak of Niš was part of Prizren Vilayet, Vilayet of Novi Pazar, Kosovo Vilayet and Danube Vilayet. Then I noticed that some sources claim that anexation of Sanjak of Niš to Danube Vilayet was performed in order to allow easier bulgarisation of Slavic population of Sanjak of Niš. On the other hand, there is significant presence of Albanians in this vilayet....

I know that administrative division of Ottoman empire was ofter very fluid, but I was wandering if you perhaps know something about this part of history and have proposal how to deal with two different articles and contradictory informations.

Best regards,--Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:31, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. Bulgarisation was allegedly organized under influence of Russia who was then pro-Bulgarian (I did not mean to pay much attention to it anyway).

Could you help with some Bulgarian articles?

A new article, Koljo Karagiosov, came up for AfD. I've rescued articles in the past who's subject wasn't from a country who used the Latin alphabet. This one has me stumped. The user has created five articles in total. Some other are up for AfD, but I'm not sure right now... The creating user has deleted AfD tags and I need to go back and add them. The user has recently added "references" only in Bulgarian. Some, for example Габрово ДНЕС, make it hard for Google translate to read past articles. Could you add your input and help?
