Re: Питания

Hi! Let me go through them all:

1. Just copy the formatting of List of lakes in Bulgaria and replace the content, if you'd like to keep that style.
2. A list of Bulgaria-related lists is not a bad idea, but I've never seen one, There's no List of Germany-related lists or List of United States-related lists, for example (but there's a List of lists of lists! :)). I haven't seen a template either... that doesn't mean we can't do it, though :)
3. Yup, that would be {{cquote}}, see formatting on the template's page.
4. Seeing that these mountains are in both Bulgaria and Serbia, I don't think it's a good idea to have a map of Bulgaria or Serbia only, and a relief map like File:Central Serbia relief map.png makes more sense. The best idea would be to generate such a map with the Bulgarian–Serbian border in the middle of it so we can use it for shared mountains. That should be easy to do with a pic from [1].

Happy Baba Marta to you as well :D

If it was a map of Serbia, it would be equally appropriate as a map of Bulgaria, and that's no improvement. However, it's a relief map instead of a political map, which makes it more suitable for a mountain. I don't think alphabetical order will work in that respect. The solution is to generate a relief map which includes parts of either country, with the border in the middle. I can easily make a screenshot from [2] and post it, but we have to make it work with coordinates... perhaps we can ask the guys over at Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Map workshop :) Best, — Toдor Boжinov — 17:49, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Mico Asen-coin-coppery.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mico Asen-coin-coppery.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 21:51, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

List of Bulgarian monarchs

Hi! Perhaps I'll have a chance to look through the list in the evening, but it seems like some good work! I don't think you should colour the 'standard' table boxes in any other colour. If anything, I would make the green boxes paler because they are way too bright for my liking. I think 'Notes/Death' is okay as it is, but I'll have to have a more detailed look at it. Best, — Toдor Boжinov — 12:23, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Great work! I tweaked the intro slightly. I do think you should change the bright colours in the table to something less pronounced. 'Notes/Death' seems good enough for the purpose. Best, — Toдor Boжinov — 21:43, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Благодаря, но и твоите подобрения на Battle of Boulgarophygon по нищо не отстъпват!

Честно казано не мисля, че английският ти е с нещо по-лош, а и за тези статии за благородници в никакъв случай не отказвам помощ. Сам едва ли ще мога да ги покрия всичките :) Иначе да, все още имам тези намерения за Иван Асен II и за него има чудесни и много детайлни изследвания, а и като цяло е сравнително добре документиран в средновековните източници. Наистина недостигът на време е основен проблем, но всъщност по-големият брой добри източници предполага повече четене, повече сравняване и 'помиряване' на различни гледни точки и тълкувания, откъдето и работата става по-трудна. Това, че за обикновените благородници има по-малко данни, всъщност предполага по-лесното писане на статии (стига информацията да не е крайно оскъдна, естествено), а и някак си ми е по-удобно да започвам нещо от нулата, отколкото да преработвам.

Радвам се, че успяваш да намираш някакво време за статиите от средновековната българска история. Има нужда от качествените ти приноси в тази област! Едва ли много хора по света си дават сметка, но благодарение на работата на една сравнително малка група хора английската Уикипедия се е превърнала в един от най-добрите и подробни източници на знания за средновековната история на Балканите изобщо. Поздрави, — Toдor Boжinov — 22:42, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

О, Константин е на по-високо ниво от мен откъм стил на писане... понякога трябва да вадя речника, за да разбера чисто английски думи, които ползва, и които предават с голяма точност именно смисъла, който той има предвид. Много може да се научи от него и статиите му за Византия са страхотно вдъхновение. Не на всеки всичко му идва от вътре, и за мен има области в Уикипедия, които са едва ли не непонятни. Колкото до увода, и аз имах такъв проблем. Добра идея е да го пренапишеш веднага след като си написал самата статия, като резюмираш най-важните факти и гледаш да не пропуснеш нещо съществено от тях. За статии с по-сериозен размер, каквито обикновено пишем и двамата, два параграфа са напълно достатъчни.

Иначе да, определено има накъде да се развива покритието на средновековна България. Статия за икономиката е страхотна идея.

Колкото до източниците, пиши на електронната поща от потребителската ми страница, имам идеи по въпроса :) — Toдor Boжinov — 14:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Relieve map blank of Bg and Byz.PNG
