[edit] Image Commons vs Upload (ex-helpme)
I'd like to use images from a non-English version of wikipedia, licensed GFDL, and with clumsy names. Should I try to upload them to Commons (no experience with that), or should I simply re-upload them in the English version, with meaningful names? I got lost in the help pages. --Cameltrader 23:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Please try your question at Wikipedia help desk. I am sorry for the delay. Wikipedia:Help desk Thanks —— Eagle (ask me for help) 23:57, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'll ask where you say, thanks for paying attention. --Cameltrader 00:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Най-добре е в Общомедия според мен, няма значение какви са имената (ако имаш предвид че са на кирилица с това "clumsy"). Същото е, а ще могат да ги ползват и от други проекти. Поздрави, Todor→Bozhinov 12:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'll go for Commons, but later... I didn't mean cyrillic by clumsy. The names were something like

[edit] Здравей!
Здрасти, радвам се, че превеждаш и допълваш с информация за Русе тук, наистина имаме нужда от повече. Не съм ходил много в града, но имам добри впечатления, а особено много харесвам и старата европейска архитектура на Русе. Между другото, според теб как е по-правилно (т.е. по-уместно, по-наложено и по-добре като цяло) да се изписва Русе на латиница, Rousse или Ruse? В момента е пълна какафония, всеки ползва което смята за добре, статията за областта е на Ruse Province, а града е на Rousse...
А, да, също виж Romanization of Bulgarian — "ю" е "yu", "я" "ya", а "дж" е "dzh" (не "dj") според стандарта, който ползваме най-често в английската. Поздрави, Todor→Bozhinov 12:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Zdrasti Todor, ...(Moved to Talk:Rousse.)
[edit] Template:Infobox Town BG
Could you please add (if possible) some kind of parameter fixing the width of the coat of arms to, say, 90 or 100? Some coat of arms images are simply too big and stretch the infobox too much. Thanks in advance, Todor→Bozhinov 21:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, I think I figured it out myself :) Sorry Todor→Bozhinov 21:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- 135 px is a bit too much, I think. But there's a problem already — images smaller than the given size are resized by the software and they look ugly. I checked how the Romanian template is done... does that "#if" thing make it check if it's not smaller before resizing?

[edit] Vangelia
In Greek, that name would be Βαγγελία. It is short for Ευαγγελία Evangelia and "Herald of the Blessed Word" is a likely interpretation of it. It is from ev (good) + angelos (messenger or herald) - this is where the word angel comes from. The Gospel is Ευαγγέλιο Evangelio in Greek, and literally means Good Announcement - if you consider the Gospel the "Blessed Word", then it can mean "Herald of the Blessed Word" ;-) --Telex 10:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Belote
Hi! I see you've recently created and expanded the article Belote (Bulgaria). Do you know whether it is a different game from the one played in France, and briefly described at Belote? The rules seem very similar, and the fact that you use French names (belote, tierce, coinchée) leads me to believe that it is only one game. I've proposed to merge Belote (Bulgaria) into Belote. Unless you oppose, I'll do the merge early next week. Thanks, Pruneautalk 09:20, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bulgaria lead
Hi. I didn't remove 681 because it was wrong, but because the general phrasing was quite misleading. To call Bulgaria one of the most ancient countries of Europe, requires at least a source; as there certainly wasn't institutional continuity (Byzantine and Ottoman dominations, splittings). Instead the lead gives the idea of a continuity; and as for the name, also this requires a source, because it must awnser to WP:V. The only thing that can be said is that in 681 the Bulgars (not the Bulgarians) founded the first Bulgarian state.--Aldux 14:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Year links
Well, they don't contain a month and a day, so they shouldn't be linked. It's up to you to decide whether you'd write it BC or BCE, the manual of style simply says "no periods" (e.g. no B.C.E. or B.C.). And by the way, also note "Do not use abbreviations like "Feb" unless space is precious in a table, infobox, or the like." I see you sometimes use these. Todor→Bozhinov 17:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Balkh and "byal"
I know it's a sourced edit, but I don't think it has anything to do with the reality. Basically, "byal" and its derivatives is a word met in all Slavic languages and its frequent presence in toponyms is not in any way unique to Bulgaria and its medieval borders. Here's some: Bjelovar, Biograd na Moru (bio is bel in the local vernacular), Beli Manastir (all in Croatia), more than 10 in the little Slovenia (List of cities, towns, and villages in Slovenia/B), Bijeljina (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Bílina and another dozen (Czech Republic), Belgorod, Belovo, Beloretsk, Belogorsk and probably a hundred more (Russia), etc., etc. That said, I'm removing it. Todor→Bozhinov 23:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I noticed it refers to the neighbouring area too. But the examples from Croatia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and so on prove that "byal" and its forms are very popular in placenames all around Slavic Europe. It's just one of the many theories and I don't think it deserves a mention in such an article. Todor→Bozhinov 10:31, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Script
Hey! So the script is not finished, but ready to use now, right? I find most of the ideas you've implemented extremely handy and would like to use the script too :) How exactly do I add it to my monobook, by copying the contents of User:Cameltrader/A.js? Thanks! Todor→Bozhinov 13:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- The script is not as usable as I'd want it to be, but you can certainly do some quality assurance. :) If you copy the contents of A.js into your monobook.js, you will not be able to benefit from changes I make. Better do the following, as User:Lupin puts it:
|
Copy the following content into your monobook.js file. After it is saved, press CTRL+F5 to reload the monobook.js file. The "m" in "monobook.js" must be lowercase or this won't work! [...] Save the page and follow the instructions above the edit window to force-reload the page and clear your browser cache. |
{{subst:js|User:Cameltrader/A.js}}
- I believe the script would not interfere with other scrpits you use. I'll add the instructions to my user page later. --Cameltrader 18:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, I just checked the script out, it works perfectly and does a tremendous job! Big thanks for creating it! Todor→Bozhinov 20:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the thanks. Are you using Internet Explorer or a Gecko-based browser (Firefox, Netscape...)? Or Opera? I only tested Galeon and Firefox on Debian. --Cameltrader 20:57, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Largo
Well, that's how the complex is known, The Largo (see here, for example). I don't know of any other largos in Sofia, but even if there are, this is the one. What exactly are your concerns about the name and what do you think should be corrected or changed? Todor→Bozhinov 10:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Museum
Hi! Would you be OK with moving History Museum, Rousse to Rousse Regional Historical Museum like the Pleven and Plovdiv museums are currently named? Generally museum websites seem to be a complete mess, so it looks like unfortunately *we* have to suggest a standard name. Todor→Bozhinov 15:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Dunno... it sounds allright to me. "Historical museum" has 3,610,000 Google hits, while "history museum" has 10,200,000, but the latter also includes wordings like "Natural History Museum", "Women's History Museum", "Computer History Museum", which apparently aren't the same thing as simply "history museum". The situation in List of museums is also quite the same. Aniway, if we're to change the name, we should change all so as to have some sort of standard. Todor→Bozhinov 15:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] EGN sample doesn't validate.
There is probably a mistake on EGN page: EGN 7501020014 does not validate.
