[edit] dobmap
some historians think "jurcova" refers to Giurgiu. if it was already part of moldavia, why did Stephen had to take it from wallachia? my sources say mircea's possessions extended to the hills north of the river.Anonimu 06:42, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dobrotitsa
Greetings! I just wanted to tell you that despite his ethnic origin, Dobrotitsa was part of the Bulgarian nobility. There is an argument whether he is a Bulgarian or Cuman or Vlach or whatever, but in all cases he is a Bulgarian noble; follow the discussion. I will remove the tag citation needed from there. Take an example of Asen and Petar: they are very likely to had been of Cuman origin, but they are not Cuman nobles or Cuman Emperors, they are Bulgarian ones, so you know what I mean. Regards, --Gligan 09:13, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- The Bulgarian Emperors titled themselves "Emperor of the Bulgarians and Romans", does it mean that the the country is Bulgarian-Roman Empire?! All titles of the sort emperor, king , prince of Bulgarians (for instance) and vlachs, greeks, serbs, chinese aim to glorify the ruler. From 1202 the Hungarian king took the title King of the Bulgarians, but that does not mean that he is a Bulgarian.
- It is obvious that Ivan Asen II, Petar IV and Kaloyan have restored the the Bulgarian Empire, not created a new Bulgarian-Vlach state. --Gligan 17:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
So I will find sources and add the Bulgarian names of Vladislav I of Wallahia, Dan I of Walachia because they were de jure vassals of the Bulgarian Emperor => related to Bulgarian history. --Gligan 19:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About the ethnic character of the Second Bulgarian Empire
Dear Romanian passionate patriot, not every Vlach is Romanian. For example in contemporary Bulgaria there are 10,566 Vlachs and only 1,088 Romanians - as separate ethnic groups. These two groups freely declare their different nationality during the last census in 2001, check here. Romanian nation is modern construct, based on only one part of the Balkan Vlachs. There were Vlach communities, which didn't participate in the modern Romanian nation building. So, it is a nationalistic speculation to insist on Romanian identity of one medieval ruler on the basis of theories with disputed validity. Sorry, but Romanian insufficiency of state history could not be healed with hyperinterpretations like these about the Second Vlach/Bulgarian Empire. Try to understand - all native documents show only Bulgarian identity. The native sources have priority in every relevant history. Still more, the meaning and the adequacy of the term "Vlach" in this particular case, used in the smaller part of the historical sources from this time for period of only two decades (1186-2007), are rejected by significant stream among the academic tradition. Check one important result of this scientific situation - Encyclopedia Britannica, in which Asen I, Kaloyan and Ivan Asen II are treated as Bulgarian Tsars only. Kaloyan's state wasn't Romanian, it wasn't dominated by the Wallachian idea, territory or population too. Moesia, Thrace, Macedonia and large parts of what is now Eastern Serbia against undefined part of Wallachia? This state was dominated by the Bulgarian name, concept, tradition, official language, lands and inhabitants. And, finally, if Kaloyan had Vlach origin, which isn't very likely, he has to be treated as Bulgarian of Vlach origin, but not as ethnic Vlach. Best wishes, Jackanapes 22:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC) P. s. About your accusation in censorship. Dear, I don't want to erase any relevant sourced historical or scientific information. I have erased only your attempts to include the name of Kaloyan in Romanian language, which is irrelevant because this is English language Wikipedia and we are talking about one article for Bulgarian medieval Tsar. When the Second Bulgarian Empire will emerge as the earliest medieval Romanian state in Wikipedia, I will agree with such addition. Ok? - Jackanapes 22:45, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
It is really funny. You have provided source for modern Romanian language pronunciation and spelling of the Kaloyan's name because there isn't any medieval Vlach language document containing his name. Quite irrational situation. Moreover, the preserved Wallachian documents, which emerged long time after Kaloyan's death, used predominantly Medieval Slavic (or Old Bulgarian) language for centuries... - Jackanapes 23:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Hehehe, you have confessed your sin! You have offered the name from the modern Romanian historiography and nothing more. This name is very popular among Bulgarians too, it was documented among the ordinary people in XVII century and even had several female variants, but its usage in folklore can't be connected only directly with the real historical figure of Tsar Kaloyan and explained only with him, I suppose. It would be speculation. I really don't understand why are you so stubborn with this name? Here in Wikipedia there isn't practice to offer pronunciation and spelling in non-English foreign languages when there isn't relevant basis. Look, I don't feel anything negative against the Romanians, on the contrary, but this partucular artificial "Romanization" is anachronistic and seems as nationalistic claim... Please, try to reconsider your position, my friend! - Jackanapes 23:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
What kind of tradition had given this form of the name? When exactly this name was documented/written in Vlach/Romanian language? If this isn't medieval tradition, it could not be relevant source in connection with the Tsar Kaloyan. Try to reconsider your thinking. - Jackanapes 00:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
P. s. If these folklore examples were recorded and published recently during (or even after) the Enlightenment era (as it is with almost all Balkan folklore collections), we could suppose that these folklore materials have medieval origin, but nevertheless they are documented much later and as principle show the latest phase of their development, so they could not be accepted as primary sources in researches of the proper medieval culture. Example for similar scientific situation. There are Bulgarian epic songs about "tsar Yasen (Asen)", but they aren't quoted in any Wikipedia article, connected with Asens, because they were documented in 19 and 20 centuries. The Historians don't treat these songs as primary sources for the epoch of the Asens, 12-15 centuries (even in etymological aspect!). I hope you will accept this.- Jackanapes 00:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
You insist to include in the article about medieval tsar Kaloyan form of the name, beared by this ruler, from oral tradition, recorded in 18-20 centuries, but Kaloyan died in 13 century! This is anachronism. Moreover, these folklore materials most probably contain that name but haven't direct connection with the historical figure of tsar Kaloyan, therefore they are irrelevant. Enough nationalistic speculations! - Jackanapes 10:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Biruitorul :) I was referred to you by User:Lil' mouse 3.

I was hoping you could help in translating them for me, or else point me to where I could obtain a decent translation. Thanks in advance! Morhange (talk) 07:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
