Disscusion article Bulgarians

Number of Bulgarians The total number of Bulgarians according to the quoted and recognized sources is over 10 million, rather than 8 mln. The calculations were wrong-therefore I edited the article with the correct number. Furtermore 8 mln is unrealistically low number, having in mind that in 1989, only in Bulgaria lived 9 mln people(since then at least 1,5 mln have emigrated in the US, EU, Australia, etc.) Moreover, the Bulgarian disapora is historically large due to lost territories to neighbours and large waves of immigrations during the 18-20th century. Only in Ukraine, people of Bulgarian descent are at least 500 000, in Moldova 100 000, etc. Therefore, even though the realistic number is much higher than 10 mln, we should accept that number, since that is verifiable, according to all sources quoted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.126.1.125 (talk) 20:01, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Please, provide this quoted and recognized sources about 10,000,000 Bulgarians. If no, I will revert the number back to the previous simple calculation. Jingby (talk) 15:21, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Please, sum up the number of Bulgarians country by country and you would find that calculations add up to 10 mln. By "quoted and verified sources" I meant the ones, already recognized in the article. Simply sum up and you would see that it adds to 10 mln, rather than 8 mln. In addition, the mirror articles about Bulgarians in the Finnish and Lithuanian wiki projects quote number of Bulgarians between 10 and 11 mln people. In addition, in the articles for Bulgarian language many of the different wikipedia projects, quote the number of Bularian speakers as 11-12 mln.

Last but not least, in the article for Greece it shows 16 mln people (highly overestimated number) without any reference. Romanians claim that they are 29 mln including Moldovans without reference. Why such double standards and why would you not modify the article for Greeks and Romanians asking for a source? Why you would want to put a lower number than the real one, even though the calculations on the site add up to 10 mln?

ps the actual number is much higher, but let us stick us to the alredy verified sources. ps2 the number as it is now and the Foreign Ministry Data only refers to people born on the territory of Bulgaria and their descendants. Thus excluding large Bulgarian origin populations in neighbouring countries. But even such narrower concept of "Bulgarian" adds up to 10 mln, rather than 8mln. Therefore, instead of threats, let us better take calculators.

Lozhani buditel (talk) 17:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Jingiby, it seems like you just edit the information not because you are concerned wth obejectivity, but out of personal motives. Yes, it is not precisely 10 mln -it adds up to 9.600 000, but as you perfectly well know-the number here is a low estimate and it does not include all 202 countries in the world. Wikipedia is not pure mathematics and not pure science. Sometimes logic is as importany as figures and "sources". And I am doing a PhD Politics in England and perfectly well know what objectivity and verifiability stands out for. So I am not here to waist my time. Therefore 10 mln is a realistic (although still a very low estimate) number of Bulgarians around the world. Please, do not put your ego about logic and objectivity and leave the number intact.

Our nation is daing. This is the truth. Stop with the phantasy. Jingby (talk)

Well it seems you want to help it d(AI) die much sooner than it happens. And what kind of argument is that? I am far from PHantasy (fantasy), since I am very down to Earth and objectivity is my aim. I am doing a PhD Politics in England and trust me-what you are doing to change numbers just to suit your calculations for lesser number of Bulgarians and prove your ego is far from being of any academic or scentific worth. Therefore stop your alterations.Lozhani buditel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.126.1.125 (talk) 21:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Jingby, i don`t know which nation is dying, but first educate yourself and then write in EN Wikipedia. Even so, this is not demographic research in Bulgaria, but in whole the world. So stop reversing, i`ll ask for help from administrators, because you are absolute vandal! Подпоручикъ (talk) 21:55, 19 December 2008 (UTC) Whether the numbers of Bulgarians are currently shrinking or not has nothing to do with the statistical data backed by reliable sources. It is unacceptbale to forge the statictics to suit someones idea of a dying or a growing nation. If the summary of the most resent statistics shows more than 10 milion Bulgarians living around the globe then that is the number to be shown in Wikipedia. If in a few years a new data shows 9 million or less then it will be changed to that number. For now, lets leave it as it is - over 10 million. Internedko (talk) 22:03, 19 December 2008 (UTC) Jingby, it may sound like a cliché, but Bulgaria has always been one of the most influential pathways between the East and the West. Today, the NATO and EU membership, followed by the latest economic developments and the large investments in Bulgaria in its energy sector, are the hallmarks that guarantee peace and security in South-Eastern Europe, the challenging Caspian-Black Sea region and even the Middle-East. Only ignorant fools may think that this great nation is dying. Bulgaria is becoming a rich nation and this is a fact.

Many data forced by certain circles pertaining the Bulgarian population are biased. The claims that the total number of Bulgarians around the world is less than 9 millions is not logically and statistically correct. Only the number of post-1990 emigrants is around 1.5 million. Together with the descendants of the Macedono-Bulgarian emigrants of the World Wars at the beginning of the XX century, who now live in the USA, Canada and Australia, this may sum up to at least 2 millions. We must also take into account the inevitable process of unfolding the truth about the Macedonian Bulgarians, whose number is around 1.3 millions in the Republic of Macedonia. So, there are at least 12 million Bulgarians in Bulgaria, Macedonia, USA, Canada and Australia.

The overall well-being in the Bulgarian society stimulates the growth of the population and it will be significantly increased in the next decade. On the other hand, the talented people who left Bulgaria, dispersed all over the developed countries, will provide a solid background for further political and diplomatic support for their homeland, through their various professional orientations and the active involvement in the scientific and cultural life of the societies where they live.

As a Macedonian Bulgarian, born and living in the Republic of Macedonia, I would ask you Jingby to stop altering the numbers and respect the opinions of all other Wikipedians. Relativefrequency (talk) 22:43, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Do not put your ego above objectiviy

Jingiby in the article Bulgarians you deliberatley lowered all numbers by countries just to prove your point that Bulgarians are over 9 mln , but not over 10 mln people. Is taht objective? ..Pathetic —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lozhani buditel (talk • contribs) 20:40, 19 December 2008 (UTC) Не се изживявай като съвестта на България, защото нито имаш компетентността за това, нито правото да си последна иснатнция за обективност на всички българи, още повече че наистина това не е реалната бройка на българите и ти много добре го знаеш.

If this is an encyclopaedia, but not nationalistic phantasy forum...I am showing just the facts with references. Jingby (talk) 20:45, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

If you claim that you are that objective, why dont you correct the articles on Turkey and Greece, where without any references they claim they are 70mln or 16 mln -numbers highly exaggerated, but have double standards and apply them only to Bulgaria. Second of all, who told you you are the biggest expert in the field and only your data is objective-read the discussion everyone else told you to leave the number and you still change it. There is consensus rule in wikipedia. Reading your history it seems you have been annoying quite many people here with your anti-bulgarian entries. You are trying to hide your anti-bulgarianism with the mask of objectivity. Please, first learn how to write proper English and then claim yu can edit wikipedia. phantasy is spelled with "f".

Still banned

Jingiby, according to your entry in WP:ARBMAC, you are still topic-banned from all Balkans-related articles, even though your sockpuppetry block has run out. The topic ban was for six months, not three. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I know, one of the leading principles in the Roman and European Law is that more severe penalty absorbs the lightly one. I was banned from all Balkans-related articles several weeks before you banned my effectively from all topics for three monts! I think thе legal principles have to be valid here! Regards! Jingby (talk) 13:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Jingiby, but I think wikilawyering will not get you very far here. You were topic-banned for a longer time, and then you were blocked for a shorter time because you kept breaking the topic ban through sockpuppetry.

I'd like to acknowledge though that your edit to Bulgaria today seems to have been mostly good, and actually removed some Bulgarian nationalist POV material. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:57, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Future, I am banned still by this IP 88.203.200.74 for all, not only for Balkan-related topics? Jingby (talk) 13:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, you're right, that IP block went for two days longer than the main block; lifted now. You are definitely allowed to edit in other areas. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Anatolism

Sorry, I've had to delete that article of yours. It was totally copied (plagiarised) from its source. Moreover I doubt if it would have stood a test of notability. Anybody can coin a term in -ism; the question is whether it's a widely used concept beyond that one source you had. Also, those -ism terms are often inherently non-neutral and may be a very poor choice for framing the topic of an article. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Read the content before jumping to any hasty conclusions... The guy is a hungarian from Transilvania and what he added it's completely his personal opinion and completely original research, Cheers ! Rezistenta (talk) 11:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

The interpretation of those studies are made by him and that's original research . I think that's also the reason why you've reverted the article to the previous version. There are not pro-magyar arguments just anti-romanian arguments . The conclusions drawn by him don't emerge by the results of those studies Rezistenta (talk) 12:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Listen! I have a hard time understanding your presence on the Wikipedia sites related to Romania or Romanians, when your view, if I am to briefly present it, sounds like that: "Romania is only formed of Moldavia (a part of it) and Wallachia and that's it. Romanians are people coming from the Balkans, without any background and their presence on the actual teritorry of Romania is the result of more or less recent migrations". While this is your point of view, on which you are completely entitled to own, as a private, own view about history, it cannot be tolerated as a documented scientifical piece of knowledge. Sorry about that. And about the severly limited conclusions of User:Rezistenta, I will not loose too much time commenting them. I hope you understand my message and please do not push it more.

I respect the Turkic peoples, however the Bulgars were Turkic! Your problem are the reliable sources. According to Wikipedia articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. In general, the most reliable sources are peer-reviewed journals and books published in university presses; university-level textbooks; magazines, journals, and books published by respected publishing houses; and mainstream newspapers.

Hi, I am trying to improve the article today as I have already tried to give everybody the oppurtunity to try and improve it. I thank you for the work you did yesturday. The sentences that i am removing today are those of which do NOT support what we are writting, there is also alot of repetion which should also be removed. Also there are references like this; (Clisson et al. 2002) and (Rolf et al. 1999) which do not have any other informmation about the references, thus it is not reliable (and MUST be removed).

Ok, you were told not to edit any Blakan related articles, talkpages etc, so just don't. Be patient and don't breach your block - it would only make matters worse. If you have a comment on any of those articles leave it on my talkpage. --Laveol ^T 10:57, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Assistance needed with reading a Bulgarian source

Hi. In processing articles at the copyright problem board, I've encountered one with which I need assistance, and I'm hoping you can help. :) (I come to you by virtue of (a) your being listed here and (b) your active presence. Many of those editors are here intermittently if they come at all.) The article Dobroslavtsi Air Base has been tagged as a potential copyright infringement of this source. The tagger asserted a belief that the article was a direct translation. While it's okay to use the original as a basis of information, a direct translation is a "derivative work" and is protected by the copyright of the original. If you had an opportunity to review the source and the article as it stood before blanking and let me know if it seems to be too close of a translation, I would be grateful. If you don't, please let me know that, too, so that I can go down the list and look for another Wikipedian who meets (a) and (b). :D I'll be watching your userpage, so I'll see if you have an opportunity to reply. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:03, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

POV

Jingiby it is quite obvious that you have a major POV before even reading the articles. It is clear you are on one mission: Prove Macedonian = Bulgarian. It is evident by your statements in the Macedonians of Bulgaria, and the flags of Macedonia. It is amazing that many people have such interest in a landlocked country like Macedonia.

Krusevo set a precedent for Macedonia, and in the "use" it doesn't say it was used as the flag of Macedonia, but the flag of Krusevo therefore it is relevant. 98.243.158.123 (talk) 00:18, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

You have been reverting and adding information without discussing it first, which goes completely against WP policy. The only thing you should change without discussion is wording or spelling. Anyways, you are convinced Macedonians = Bulgarians even though the articles (though bias) provide information that Macedonian conscious grew in the 1800s from intellects of Macedonia. Again, great evidence with amazing timing by the Bulgarian government to find all this now. But, I also have documents which prove my argument, and its good enough for me.

700 AD map of Slavic tribes

Hi. Yeah i can do a new map.

I am aware of Zlatarski's theory. I think i have already discussed the issue regarding the Bulgarian colonization of the Kerramissian plain. Kuber's "Bulgars" were actually predominantly Roman Christian captives of the Avar khanate - a mixture of ethnicities. YEs, Kuber was likely a Bulgar himself, but we have not so far established any proof linking him to the DUlo clan. Nor do we have any evidence that his tribes established any sort of centralised state in Macedonia. In fact, many people scattered around back to their homes in the regions around thessaloniki despite Kuber's attempts to prevent this.

Kuber's clan is often referred to as the Seramisianoi - after Sirmium (where they were originally based). I can include themin the map, sure. But the map focuses on the Sklavinias. If i add every other tribe that also existed in the Balkans at that time - such as the proto-Vlachs, , it might get crowded. Hxseek (talk) 01:59, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Sure . I see your point that there weremore than 1 Bulgar settlements in Balkans. Nice maps. I can include them , but like i said, the map ocuses of the Sklavinias, no on every other single tribe in the Balkans also. I just also include establshied territories/ states.

ABout the Bulgar khanate: i don;t know where you got the idea that i am representing it as 100, 000 Bulgars. It is common knowledge that there were only 10 or 20 G Bulgars, as you say.

Българска екзархия

Здравей! По повод на текста за българската екзарихия, който махна в сатията за македонизма, аз мисля, че този текст беше съвсем коректен и информираше читателите, че преди македонизмът да се появи, мнозинството славяноезични в областта Македония са гласували за екзархията, т.е. разкриваше част от немакедонистката предистория на македонизма. Помисли, моля дали да не го върнем.--AKeckarov (talk) 19:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Не мисля, че е си струва. Добавих пак там във рубриката "виж още" статията "Македонския въпрос" и "История на етническите македонци" [4]. Който се интересува просто ще кликне там и ще се дообразова в детайли. Нещата са ясни. Поздрави. Jingby (talk) 19:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Извинявай, но някои твои намеси ме карат да мисля, че вършиш или си повлиян от македонистка пропаганда. Нали сърбо-македонисткото схващане е това за аморфната маса, липсата на национално съзнание, неопределеност и т.н. Брайлсфорд на много други места ясно си говори за македонски българи, но македонистката пропаганда набляга на едно от малкото, за които може да се хване. Къкъв е смисълът да й пригласяме и помагаме?--AKeckarov (talk) 16:44, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Уви, такъв е процеса на постепенна дебългаризация на региона. Искаме или не, но от началото на 20 век с малки изключения ние сме губещите, та чак и до днес. Мисля, че най-голяма вина имаме ние българите, но не е тук мястото за коментар. Jingby (talk) 16:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Съгласен съм, но като македонец не бих се съгласил да се подменя историята. Дебългаризацията може да е основен факт от един определен момент, но във всеки случай за болшинството от населението в МК в началото на ХХ век това не е така. Дебългаризацията намира своите основания и до ден чрез изкривяването на фактите за миналото, чрез пренасяне на някои днешни политически реалности върху миналото.--AKeckarov (talk) 16:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Човече, погледни картата. Виж какъв дял контролираме ние сега и прецени каква част от населението на днешната географска област се чувстват българи и колко са били преди 130 години, каква част от региона са обитавали и т.н. Коментарът е излишен. Jingby (talk) 17:03, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Нешо не се разбираме. Аз ти говоря за миналото и за факта, че и в началото на ХХ век славяноезичните жители на МК в голямата си част са се чувствали българи и не само това - те СА били българи. В този смисъл един от любимите лайтмотиви на сръбската пропаганда, възприети впоследствие от македонистката, е обяснението на всичко българско в МК с влиянието (разбирай пропагандата) на Екзархията - един абсурден аргумент, като се има предвид, че македонските българи са част от Българското Възраждане, а то започва много преди Екзархията. Затова ми е странно, че човек, който би трябвало да защитава обективното представяне на историята на МК, се хваща на тоя въдица. P.S. Благодаря за популяризирането на един антибългарски материал със спорни исторически компетенции като този.--AKeckarov (talk) 17:13, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Аз не защитавам ничия позиция. Това е световна енциклопедия. И пак ще повторя, българската позиция през последните 100 години, включително и сега не е за защита, а за ожалване. За разлика от сръбската, колкото и да ми е неприятно. За гърците, които бяха 15% от населението на областта, а днес са над 50% няма да коментирам. Jingby (talk) 17:49, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Точно защото е световна енциклопедия, би следало да се възразява на македонистките (не македонските) твърдения и да настояваме да се представят нещата честно и обективно. Колкото до българската позиция, тя ще бъде още по за ожалване, ако не се намери начин да бъде представена адекватно. Аз впрочем, в случая на мисля, че защитавам българската позиция, тъй като става дума за въпрос, който едва в последните десетилетия някои пропаганди успяха да поизкривят донякъде. Преди това, включително и в конкретния времеви контекст той имаше сравнително ясен отговор сред съвременниците си, особено чужденците - македонците в голямата си част са българи. Т.е. македонец е регионално понятие. Разибира се, могат да се намерят и изключения, но, ако ние самите почнем да ги търсим и представяме, значи македонистката пропаганда е спечелила още една победа.--AKeckarov (talk) 18:39, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Pomaks

Can you please read my comments before undoing? Your text has been moved, not deleted. It has no place in the intro because it is giving too much importance to a fringe theory. If you believe Bulgarians are predominantly Thracian descendants, that's your opinion, but it's sharply in contrast with the scholarly concensus: that Bulgarians were formed by Slavs and Bulgars mostly, i.e. you're POV-pushing plain and simple. The disputed DNA paragraph (which I call bullshit because genetics and ethnicity are very far-apart concepts) has been moved to the "Alternative origin theories" section: at the moment, your text is duplicated in the article, so undo your edit and let only one copy of it remain. I hope you're not really blind, in which case I apologize, but I believe what I've done is so apparent that your edits are simply ridiculous.

DNA

Paleo-mtDNA analysis and population genetic aspects of old Thracian populations from South-East of Romania Cardos G. et al.

ABSTRACT:

We have performed a study of mtDNA polymorphisms (HVR I and HVR II sequences) on the skeletal remains of some old Thracian populations from SE of Romania, dating from the Bronze and Iron Age in order to show their contribution to the foundation of the modern Romanian genetic pool and the degree of their genetic kinships with other old and modern human European populations. For this purpose we have applied and adapted three DNA extraction methods: the phenol/chloroform, the guanidine isotiocianat and silica particles and thirdly the Invisorb Forensic Kit (Invitek)-based DNA extraction method. We amplified by PCR short fragments of HVR I and HVR II and sequenced them by the Sanger method. So far, we have obtained mtDNA from 13 Thracian individuals, which we have compared with several modern mtDNA sequences from 5 European present-day populations; (Italian, Greek, Albanian, Bulgarian and Romanian). Our results reflect an evident genetic similarity between the old Thracian individuals and the modern populations from SE of Europe. Jingby (talk) 19:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

By the 5th century BC, the Thracian presence was pervasive enough to have made Herodotus (book 5) call them the second-most numerous people in the part of the world known by him (after the Indians), and potentially the most powerful, if not for their disunity. Jingby (talk) 19:52, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Two haplogroups (E3b1a2-V13 and J2b1-M102) after several last researches (Cruciani et al 2007 etc) hypothetically in the old time could be united tribes groups or some tribes concentrated in area of modern Albania and in territory of ancient Illyria and a part of Thrace. Their peak frequencies there. E3b1a2 in Albania (Kosovo) has frequency about 32 % (and with downturn in Macedonia - 18 %), and J2b1 in Albania - 17 %. Areas with the lowered frequencies - Macedonia, Bulgaria also is connected to Thracian tribes and was exposed to numerous intrusions. Interesting that J2b1 also is high enough in a turkish part of Thrace. It is possible to assume, that J2b1 hypothetically is "the thracian genetic signature ", also time as E3b1a2 can be named "illyrian". It is known also, that the population of Thrace as a matter of fact were a mix from Illyrian and Thracian tribes and made a part a mix of earlier IE-tribes with a fair impurity local peace tribes groups (farmers).Jingby (talk) 20:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Is it that hard to understand that genetics are very far apart from ethnicity? Such "research" is bound to fail for that very reason: you're equating totally different concepts. Identity and nation are so distant from genetic origin that it's not even fun to explain it. What is noticeable about the genetic proximity list above? That geography seems to be the main factor. And location is hardly an argument for ethnicity, am I right? 12:47, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

This are evidences for origins not for ethnicity. The matters are different. Jingby (talk) 09:53, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Jingiby. This is very nice to read, but also wrong in some general details: It is possible to assume, that J2b1 hypothetically is "the thracian genetic signature ", also time as E3b1a2 can be named "illyrian". Actually I've found somewhere that actually E3b1a2-V13 was connected to Thracians, the position of its origin and evaluated time completely corresponded to the proto-Thracian migration from Anatolia 9.000 yrs ago. Both E3b1a2 and J2b1 were components of Neolithic agriculturist migration story from the east to Europe, or subcomponents developed after migration in the same place. J2 groups were probably the main components to form proto-Greek people (J2a1 - was defined somewhere as proto-Greeks, it originated in Greece).

Connecting E3b1a2 to Illyrians is completely wrong, although it certainly contributed to the Illyrian ethnogenesis, but more to the eastern Illyrian tribes, often described as Thraco-Illyrians (like Dardani tribe) and not "Illyrians proper"! Illyrians proper are defined by "Illyrian culture" - not too much influenced by the Hallstat culture coming from the west. Illyrians proper settled an area between Glasinac in Bosnia to northern Albania, or in modern geography: the most of Bosnia&Herzegovina, southern Croatia (Dalmatia), Montenegro, northern Albania. It's exactly a region with huge frequency of the autochtonuos Paleolithic I2a. Ie Dalmatae tribe who belonged to the Illyrian proper group lived in the central Dalmatia where you can find absolute peak of I2a - over 70% and very very low E3.

It's known that Illyrians in general (70-100 different tribes in the western Balkan) developed during the Bronze Age as admixture of the autochtonuos Paleolithic settlers and Indo-Europeans who came during the Neolithic. However in that period those people were still not "Illyrians", but rather proto-Illyrians. Only in the Iron Age when their tribal organization (Indo-European influence) was finished, we can speak about Illyrians. Illyrian Kingdom was established by the Ardiaei tribe, settled by the Adriatic coast and islands in the southern Dalmatia and western Montenegro. By time other tribes were included and paralelly this Kingdom grew up and spread to the east and south (Epirus), so therefore included also those tribes that were settled in the northern Albania (like Taulanti tribe). If you want to search for the main genetic component of the Illyrians proper, then it's I2a in the 1st place. E3 subgroup found in small percentages by the eastern Adriatic coast is not (possible) "proto-Thracian" E3b1a2, but rather another subgroup that came with sea migrations from the Asia Minor, during Neolithic. So if there was some significiant contribution of E3 to Ardiaei or Liburnians (northern Dalmatia), it was this Levantine E3 and not Balkanic E3b1a2. Large percentage of E3b1a2 found among the Albanians could have been rather of their Arvanites component than their Illyrian component.

However it's also very important to notice that genetic pool in the western and northern Balkan didn't change a lot from the Iron Age up to now. Probably only R1a somewhat increased because of the late Antique immigrants from the north, but it's question how much. R1a certainly contributed in some degree to the Pannonian "Illyrian" tribes (not Illyrians proper) or some other like Iapodes (who were practically inland family to the maritime Liburnians). Also there was probably even lower percentage of E3b1a2 and J2 in B&H, since it's logical to presume that a large part of these people moved during the Ottoman expansion to the west and settled there. Of course this is all simplified, but I guess it helps you to get the better picture. And it's definitely very hard to speak about Y-chrommosome HGs and people by ethnicity - ethnicities change rapidly!

Hxseek prepares an article about the genetic pool of the South Slavs, we have discussion in his talk page, so feel free to contribute. Some stuff about the Bulgarians will be appreciated, I guess. Zenanarh (talk) 13:27, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

The DNA data about Bulgarians are very scare. However in the Bulgarian DNA Project - the Results, which are published from the Group Administrator are following:

1) Haplogroup I - 22,6%,

2) Haplogroup E1b1 - 21,5%,

3) Haplogroup J1 - 17%;

4) Haplogroup R1a - 13%;

5) Haplogroup R1b - 12,5%;

6) Haplogroup G2 - 0,04%;

7) Haplogroup Q - 0,02%;

8) Haplogroup L - 0,01%.

In Eupedia's Distribution of European Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) haplogroups by region in percentage is written: Note that figures are only indicative. Several sources were used and averages recalculated by merging the data available. Being approximations, numbers were rounded up to 0.5%. The results are following:

1) Haplogroup R1b - 18%

2) Haplogroup R1a - 14%

3) Haplogroup I1 - 3%

4) Haplogroup I2 - 33%

5) Haplogroup I2* - 1%

6) Haplogroup J - 17%

7) Haplogroup K + T - 1%

8) Haplogroup G - 1%

9) Haplogroup E1b1 - 12%

Jingby (talk) 14:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Approximations are OK. There's always +/- tolerance included, small pattern represents a whole area or a group + other distortions, but not often quoted :) Zenanarh (talk) 17:42, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Some good data, that Eupedia site is good. But Bulgarians do not have 17% of J1. Rather, it's J2 which they have at rates of over 15%. J1 is only 5% (still a rather high proportion as far as euro's are concerned). See Semino 2004 and di Giacomo 2004 (ref on Haplo J2 page here on wiki). It will certainly be used for my article hat I will (hopefull ) write soon

And yeah, Zennarnah is right. We cannot euquate E3b with Thracians, and I2 with Illyrians. Populations back then were just as mixed as they are now. Rather, these haplogroup frequencies suggests migratory patterns. And Y-DNA data is only one part of the picture, only shows 25% of the genetic picture. There's also mtDNA and autosomal DNA. But, essentially, what seeems to be the case is that geography is the ultimate factor influencing genetic make up, moreso than language or culture. This means that the genetic make up of European populations was largely made by the end of the Bronze age at the latest. Later migrations of Slavs, Bulgars, Goths, etc did little to disrupt this pattern Hxseek (talk) 23:39, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I am confused becaused all the references next to the figure you put state 800,000 Turks in Bulgara. I believe that the figure you added is from the 2001 census and therefore I have not changed it.

I am not shure if the Turks in Bulgaria are more or less then the official data 746,664. The Bulgarian population decreased constantly in the last 20 years (including the Turks). Regards.Jingby (talk) 17:01, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I have tried looking for recent articles indicating the 800,000 figure:

• The Embassy of Bulgaria (United States) http://www.bulgaria-embassy.org/WebPage/About%20Bulgaria/Jewish%20Heritage.htm
• Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (2005) http://www.birn.eu.com/en/45/130/1860/

I have found more references but I dont want to bother you too much- please let me know if you want more references before I change anything on the template. Once again, thank you. Justinz84 (talk) 18:58, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Prilep1944.jpg}

Thank you for uploading File:Prilep1944.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Iraq and Syrian Turkmen

These groups are Turkish- just like the Cypriots etc. In 1959, the Iraqi government made the Turkmen term official to further isolate the Iraqi Turks from Turkey. Also the TURKISH language has become an official language in Iraq just a few months ago. They are not Turkmen people- if they were they would be in that article.

Turco85 (talk) 12:59, 6 February 2009 (UTC) Hi Jingiby! Hope your well. Unfortunately there is very little on this subject however I have obtained an Iraqi Turkmen site take a look at this:

• http://www.kirkuk.us/ index . php ? action= Definition of the Turkmen -this reference backs up what I said about the Laussane Peace Treaty negotiations in 1924 which tried to isolate the Iraqi Turkmen from Turkish people
• http://www.kirkuk.us/index.php?action=Origin -this reference states all the times of immigration and specifies on the immigrations of the Seljuk’s, and Ottomans especially during the time of Suleiman the Magnificent.
• http://en.apa.az/news.php?id=94167 - In late december (2008) the Kirkuk parliament passed a decision to make the Turkish language one of the official languages of the region.

File:Bulgarian dialect map-yus.png

Hello, re. File:Bulgarian dialect map-yus.png, can you clarify who made this map, copyright-wise? Did you create it yourself, did you copy the graphics directly out of the atlas you are citing, or did you get it from somewhere else? Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:56, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I get the map from Bulgarian Wikipedia under GFDL. The author is Пламен Цветков. Please see here: [10]. Regards. Jingby (talk) 16:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay then, thanks. I've added a link to the source. Nice map too. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:56, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
