Not in the category edit

He is another revolutionary that does not fall in the category - he was born in Stara Zagora for God's sake. --Laveol T 10:47, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I thought we agreed that we would be more neutral for the revolutionaries. You cannot have it both ways. He is considered Macedonian in Macedonia and Bulgarian in Bulgaria, that is the truth. Just because he was born in present day Bulgaria does not mean he was ethnic Bulgarian, just as many of the revolutionaries born in Thessaloniki were not ethnic Greek.

Yes, but at the time Thesaloniki was not part of Greece, but Stara Zagora was part of Bulgaria. It is pretty obvious there is no way he could be an ethnic Macedonian. I'm going to formulate it like this - ethnic Bulgarian revolutionary, considered to be a national hero in RoM. --Laveol T 20:41, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
