Guys, what's the WikiProject that maintains this article? -- Boris 18:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I think it's supposed to be WikiProject Cities. → Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov 19:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] adding info about colleges in pleven

I feel there should be some mention of the Medical University of Pleven and other insitutes of higher learning in Pleven as they form an important part of the city. Alchemystical 18:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep, it certainly deserves a mention, along with other educational institutions. Maybe you can add an Education section yourself, using data from [1]. Or else I can write one too... somewhen :P TodorBozhinov 19:36, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plevna

Who used the name Plevan? Only the russians? When was the name Plevna used?--84.137.4.187 11:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, as far as I know, "Plevna" was the only name used in English for the events surrounding the Siege of Pleven. That's why towns and villages in the USA and Canada are named Plevna, and not Pleven. Also, see for example the 1911 Britannica entry. TodorBozhinov 12:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
But in the russian Wiki they call it also Plevna (Плевна).--84.137.22.139 18:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Yep, that name was adopted in English through Russian. TodorBozhinov 18:43, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
