Denying Bulgarian participation in Ilinden-Preobrazhenie uprising

Hi, denying the Bulgarian participation in the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie uprising is a nonsense. For example per John Van Antwerp Fine: "Until the late 19th century both outside observers and those Bulgaro-Macedonians who had an ethnic consciousness believed that their group, which is now two separate nationalities, comprised a single people, the Bulgarians. Thus the reader should ignore references to ethnic Macedonians in the Middle ages which appear in some modern works. In the Middle ages and into the 19th century, the term ‘Macedonian’ was used entirely in reference to a geographical region. Anyone who lived within its confines, regardless of nationality could be called a Macedonian...Nevertheless, the absence of a national consciousness in the past is no grounds to reject the Macedonians as a nationality today." Check: "The Early Medieval Balkans: A Critical Survey from the Sixth to the Late Twelfth Century," University of Michigan Press, 1991, ISBN 0472081497, pp. 36–37. The same fact is confirmed by another reliable source, specialized in the history of North Macedonia, that claims, prior to the Balkan Wars, i.e. at the end of the Ottoman rule, Macedonist ideas were shared not from significant community, or the like, but only by a handful of intellectuals: check the Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Macedonia, Dimitar Bechev, Scarecrow Press, 2009, ISBN 0810862956, p. 140. According to Loring M. Danforth: The political and military leaders of the Slavs of Macedonia at the turn of the (20th) century seem not to have heard the call for a separate Macedonian national identity; they continued to identify themselves in a national sense as Bulgarians rather than Macedonians[...] (They) never seem to have doubted "the predominantly Bulgarian character of the population of Macedonia". For more see: "The Macedonian conflict: ethnic nationalism in a transnational world", Princeton University Press, 1997, ISBN 0691043566, p. 64. Also look here: In October 1893 a Bulgarian Macedonian revolutionary organization was founded in Thessaloniki. Its main goal was the autonomy of Macedonia as a first step to union with Bulgaria. It is interesting to note that the founders of the organization supposed that Macedonia could become a unit in the Balkan federation...In January 1903 preparation for the Ilinden uprising began, which was the height of the liberation struggle of the Macedonian Bulgarians.

Hi again. Keep in mind, that initially the membership in the IMRO was restricted only for Bulgarians. Its first name was "Bulgarian Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Committees", which was later changed several times. IMRO was active not only in Macedonia but also in Thrace (the Vilayet of Adrianople). Since its early name emphasized the Bulgarian nature of the organization by linking the inhabitants of Thrace and Macedonia to Bulgaria, these facts are still difficult to be explained from the Macedonian historiography. They suggest that IMRO revolutionaries in the Ottoman period did not differentiate between ‘Macedonians’ and ‘Bulgarians’. Moreover, as their own writings attest, they often saw themselves and their compatriots as ‘Bulgarians’. All of them wrote in standard Bulgarian language.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Katie^talk 13:26, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
