DYK for Church of St Peter, Berende
editOn 26 October 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Church of St Peter, Berende, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the medieval Church of St Peter, featuring "particularly remarkable" frescoes (pictured), once had an inscription by a Bulgarian tsar on its exterior? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Church of St Peter, Berende.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

- I found this a very interesting article and tried to go back to the original sources for more information. Unfortunately, although you made the effort to file your second source (http://www.webcitation.org/62JQQR9EH) with WebCite, I could not retrieve the document as I received the message "When WebCite tried to archive the page, it received a Page Not Found error from the website concerned". I had the same problem myself with the original URL. Perhaps there is a temporary problem with the site. If it comes online again, perhaps you could try to put it on Webcite again. The article could be enhanced with more images of the frescos if you are able to upload them. I see several good photos are displayed here. - Ipigott (talk) 08:21, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on this. May I suggest you use a simple gallery format to present three or four of the most interesting frescos, including perhaps the ones mentioned in the passage you sent me. They are, after all, of major interest. An additional word of explanation on the topics covered would also be of interest. I often use this format for art and architecture. See for example Bagsværd Church. If you really think this would clutter the article, then by all means include external links -- but people are sometimes frightened off by articles in other scripts. You could also upload a few more into commons, add an appropriate category and use a Commons template at the end of the article. See, for example, Boyana Church. - Ipigott (talk) 11:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Coat of arms of Bulgaria Rousse museum.jpg
editThank you for uploading File:Coat of arms of Bulgaria Rousse museum.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MGA73 (talk) 13:01, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

editThanks for uploading File:Svilengrad-bridge-zlatina.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Citation ISBN
editIn several articles you have provided the following citation: {{cite book |title=Електронно издание "История на България" |language=Bulgarian |last=Бакалов |first=Георги |coauthors=Милен Куманов |publisher=Труд, Сирма |location=София |year=2003 |isbn=9844830679 |chapter=Чавдар Войвода (II половина на XVI в.) }}. My question is about the ISBN. This does not appear to be a valid ISBN, and I can find no source to verify it. Are you certain that this is an ISBN? Are you certain it is the correct ISBN? I am trying to clean up incorrect ISBNs in articles, and any help would be appreciated. I will be watching here, so please reply here. Regards--ShelfSkewed Talk 00:58, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hi! This was a long time ago, but it appears I have taken the ISBN from this website: [2]. The publisher's website [3] now gives the ISBN as 954528613X. I do not have the CD currently available to check if an ISBN is listed there at all. Hope that helps! — Toдor Boжinov — 06:51, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, that was very helpful. The newer ISBN is mathematically valid and appears on four or five booksellers' sites, so users will be able to find the text if they do a Google search. I will make the necessary changes to the citations. Thank you--I appreciate the assistance.--ShelfSkewed Talk 13:42, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Help request
editHello Todor! I've a peculiar request, I don't know if you can or want to help, but here it goes: there's a Bulgarian user in Commons, Mpb eu (talk · contribs), who has been busy uploading stuff that supports Bulgarian claims on Thrace. His motive is more than transparent, what with naming Alexandroupoli Dedeagatch, the "Bulgarian town Gyumyurdzina" or using the neologism "Aegean Thrace" (after "Aegean Macedonia" I suppose). In itself, that is not unusual nor violating any rules on Commons, but he has a history of misrepresenting perfectly ordinary buildings as "Bulgarian" (e.g. the old Greek high school was labelled "Old Bulgarian and greec high school in Dedeagach", the Alexandroupoli customs building was the "Old Bulgarian and Othoman customs in port Dedeagach" (except it was used as a customs office only after 1920, and the lack of mention of Greece is conspicuous), a dedicatory plaque of 1886 is labelled "fake" because it is in Greek, a church built in 1956 was labeled "old Bulgarian church" (the file was deleted as a copyright violation) etc. This is nationalist propaganda of the worst sort, but as long as it remains on Commons it ha slimited impact. Now I see he has been including his images in English WP articles as well. I am particularly interested in these two: [4] and [5], which purport to be columns celebrating the conquest of Serres and Didymoteicho by Krum. The images are too blurry and what I can make out from the inscription too generic to provide a clue. Given his past, I strongly suspect them to be perfectly ordinary pillars suborned for his propaganda purposes, so I searched in my books and on the internet for them, and came up with nothing. Since I don't have access to Bulgarian sources, maybe you could shed some light on their existence. Constantine ✍ 17:27, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for the effort. Very interesting, I learned something today ;) Cheers, Constantine ✍ 07:52, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Gerb suhindol.gif
editThanks for uploading or contributing to File:Gerb suhindol.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

editHello again my friend. I have in my possession elements of the book "Видни Eвреи В България" edited by Биньямин Ардити, Binyamin Arditi. I do not read Bulgarian language good enough, but there are some articles which already exist on the Bulgarian wiki, such as Йосиф Хербст, or Ана Вентура and this book may enrich them. I will be more than willing to scan the pages and transfer them via mail. Please inform me (if needed) where to send them, and I will be glad to do it. Regards.

Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio a Trevi
editExcuse me, the reason I'm so pushy about adding a stub about this church being an Orthodox one is because the article specifically states "In 2002, Pope John Paul II presented the church as a gift to the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, and since then it has been the home of the Saints Cyril and Methodius Bulgarian Orthodox parish in Rome. The Church of Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio a Trevi is the seat of the Bulgarian Orthodox bishop for Italy, San Marino and Malta."
So there is an Orthodox presence in Rome. Now, perhaps we could compromise. We could categorise the church as both an Orthodox and a Catholic church since it has in fact served as both. What would you say to that? Konstantinos (talk) 17:50, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Vacha Dam
editAs Bulgaria's most eminent wikipedian I was wondering if you would like to contribute to the article we're preparing in User:Nvvchar/Sandbox 1. I've found this article which seems to be the same dam, but the photos are from 1937 and sources say it began construction in the 60s! Can you translate this if it is the same dam and scout for sources on it which undoubtedly exist in Bulgarian? I've retrieved what I could find in google books and highbeam. Once done I'll ask an admin to move into the mainspace, so we are all credited; naturally we'll co credit you in a DYK on it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:25, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

editЗдрасти. Надявам се всичко си е ок при теб :) Аз тук си работя по една статия, която ми звучи доста интересна. Като я довърша (реално я превеждам от български) мисля да я кандидатирам за DYK. Знам, че ти си доста навътре с темата, а аз досега не съм се занимавал. Ако имаш време, хвърли й един поглед да кажеш дали е ок. Аз имам идея за любопитния факт ("един от най-изявените български финансисти е бил и астроном, както и първият българин, чийто астрономически труд е отпечатан в чужбина"; нещо подобно ми се върти). Общо взето съвсем скоро смятам да е готова; само да успея да си доизясня как стои въпроса с някои от икономическите термини и да се преборя с източниците и цитирането. Лека и поздрави :) --Laveol T 01:49, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 13
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Catholic churches in Bulgaria, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cathedral of St Louis (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter
editRound 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.
Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:
- Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
- Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
- Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.
Other contributors of note include:
- Sven Manguard (submissions), whose Portal:Massachusetts is the first featured portal this year. The featured portal process is one of the less well-known featured processes, and featured portals have traditionally had little impact on WikiCup scores.
- Sasata (submissions), whose Mycena aurantiomarginata was the first featured article this year.
- Muboshgu (submissions) and Wizardman (submissions), who both claimed points for articles in the Major League Baseball tie-breakers topic, the first topic points in the competition.
- Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), who claimed for the first full good topic with the Casting Crowns studio albums topic.
Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...
March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!
A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
