  • Talk about the wine industry. It would be good to mention Vini Sliven and the other winery. vlado4 07:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clutter

The sliven panorama picture is good but the article seems a little cluttered. We should space out the pictures. VmanBG 21:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. The pictures are very necessary for a good article, but right now there are 3 pictures in the introduction. They need to be spread out throughout the article. vlado4 21:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Translation from Bulgarian Wiki

The Bulgarian wiki has some good historical information on Sliven. I have began translating it. vlado4 07:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stariya Briast?

Why isn't there any mention to the Stariya Briast. It is one of the town's most famous symbols. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ComradeGeneral (talk • contribs)

Go ahead then. Add some info if you know about it. --Cameltrader 05:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Haiduts vs. Haiducks

I changed "Sliven is famous for its Bulgarian haiducks" to "Sliven is famous for its Bulgarian haiduts". These are different terms. The one with k has a negative meaning while the one with t has a positive meaning. Accordig to the ottoman government all rebels were regarded as common outlaws but the bulgarian population made difference between common outlaws and freedom fighters. The latter were called "haiduts".
