Invitation to discuss on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Cyrillic)

[edit]

Hello! As there is already an only proposed Wikipedia guideline on naming conventions (Cyrillic). The proposal is still in development, under discussion and needs of gathering consensus for adoption. Since I am well experienced on this subject, I would like to criticize the official transliteration of Bulgarian as it gives too many errors, which also causes some losses of sounds “ǎ (a hacek”), decentralise itself from other slavic languages (“c” and “š” voices), which is also conflicting in itself (see street signs 1 and 2). By this revision, it is away from being accurate and not able to satisfy the needs of an encyclopedia which claims to be scientifical. These are the reasons I invite you to read Scientific transliteration of Cyrillic and involve the discussion in order to contribute a possible concensus. Wish to see you here thanks Manaviko (talk) 13:29, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination has stalled a bit, sorry about that - I have asked for a copyedit and it is currently pending, so as soon as it is completed we can continue with the nom. GregorB (talk) 19:33, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, just ping me when it's done! Toдor Boжinov 13:21, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sarmadzhiev House, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Neo-Baroque. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Sarmadzhiev House

[edit]

On 16 April 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sarmadzhiev House, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk worked in the Neo-Baroque Sarmadzhiev House in Sofia, Bulgaria and his office has been preserved as a small museum? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sarmadzhiev House. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Sarmadzhiev House), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Gold Wreaths from Thrace

[edit]

As you have been editing my articles on Bulgaria posted recently, I thought of requesting you to add and edit here Template:Did you know nominations/Gold Wreaths from Thrace as I could not find more references. I have corrected the disambiguation required in the lead about Thrace. Some references in the local language papers and books may be available. Thanks. Also, please see if this Agushevi konatsi is good to post on DYK.Nvvchar. 10:07, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for letting me know and for starting these articles! I'm unlikely to have much time this week (on holiday from tomorrow) to check them both, I'll see what I can do though. But at first glance Agushevi konatsi needs more work, there are some inaccuracies with regard to the name and the owner. The gold wreaths I'm a bit surprised to see grouped together, as opposed to discussed in separate treasure trove articles like Panagyurishte Treasure or perhaps as an expansion of Thracian treasure (which I also find to be a weird article).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

March Madness 2017

[edit]

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

[edit]

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
  • updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

A tag has been placed on Template:Municipalities of Sofia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Thanks for uploading File:VMRO logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Notice

The file File:GSRakovski.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The page Macedonist (disambiguation) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguated only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ended in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguated zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • was a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that did not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review BDD (talk) 15:45, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TodorBozhinov. Someone has created an article in Spanish wikipedia called Kanato búlgaro del Danubio (in english the title could be Danubian Bulgarian Khanate). According to this page that state cover the period between 681 to 864, then it was succeeded by the First Bulgarian Empire. In the history of Bulgaria, there were a state called with this name or is just an invention. Could you answer my doubt, please? A greeting and be careful (I mean for the coronavirus disease). Kardam (talk) 17:06, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kardam! The medieval Bulgarian state never had the official name "First Bulgarian Empire" or "Danubian Bulgarian Khanate", these are names later introduced by historiography. It's common to treat the development of the Bulgarian state until the Byzantine rule in 1018 as the First and the state reestablished in 1185 as the Second. In this case, somebody in the Spanish Wikipedia has preferred to distinguish between the heathen period of Khans and the Christian period beginning with Knyaz Boris I too. It's relatively uncommon to divide the First Bulgarian Empire like this, as it remained a single state throughout. Hope that helps! Toдor Boжinov 06:26, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot TodorBozhinov for answering my question. Kardam (talk) 09:34, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,
