Welcome!
editHello, Dimitar ot gorata, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in an English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with Russian; did you know there is a Wikipedia in Russian? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts! If you need help, please feel free to notify me on my talk page. – S. Rich (talk) 18:17, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- While the article text is in English, the supporting citations are not. How can we WP:Verify the accuracy of the text? Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 18:21, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for the warm welcome! The articles I linked are here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steve_Hanke&type=revision&diff=1089227034&oldid=1084123500 are in Bulgarian, not Russian. Non-English sources are allowed as per WP:Verify, so I don't believe the revert was warranted at all. Kindly re-revert them, I will try to find English language sources, but it is understandably hard to find them.
Now the opinion part (it should go without saying that everyone is free to disagree):
I have very low confidence of the veracity of this article in general, as the claim that he was intimately involved in implementing the Currency Board in Bulgaria all ultimately come from him or PR articles in media. He was never pointed out as such by either his boss Stoyanov, the cabinet that implemented the board, the legislators that drafted the legislation or the IMF. He has certainly invested personally a lot in this Wikipedia article, even making up a mini-conspiracy theory about an edit from 2013. I know rules are rules, but in this case I have broken none and his team has essentially used PR farms to create the bulk of this article. Its probably better if Wikipedia had no articles on living people if every semi-prominent person uses their time and money to convert what is essentially fake news into "facts".

- Per WP:NONENG we like English. Perhaps you can run the source articles through Google Translate. Also, WP:CX might help. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 19:44, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
