This seems fine, there are just a few minor issues:

  • There should be no "?" in dates, see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Longer_periods
  • The word "eminent" in the lead seems a bit POV, "prominent" would probably be better.
  • The heading "Biography" is redundant - this is all his biography.
  • The term "despot" needs to be wikilinked in the main text, but should probably also be briefly explained.
  • The Бакалов book can't be found by following the ISBN link.
  • The bibliography should be alphabetical (I wouldn't know how to do that...) Lampman (talk) 12:39, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the review! I have introduced all changes that you suggested. I am aware of the issue with the Бакалов ISBN, I suspect this is because the source is an electronic (CD-based) encyclopedia which libraries normally would not have hold of. Should I remove the ISBN or retain it? Best, TodorBozhinov
Better to keep it if it's actually correct. Perhaps use the "format=" parameter to explain that it's an electronic resource. Thanks for your work! Lampman (talk) 04:59, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thank you for your review! All the best, TodorBozhinov 06:11, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
