Talk:First Bulgarian Empire

Violation
@185.244.242.83 I reverted your edits.

First Bulgarian Empire was established in the 7th century by a Turkic-speaking people called the Bulgars who migrated from Central Asia to Pontic-stepples and then settled in the Balkans. First founders of Bulgaria were the Bulgars not the Slavs. While the Bulgars did have some Slavic cultural influences they were not exclusively Slavic and their language was not Slavic but rather an early form of Turkic. They later intermixed with Slavs and that's when the empire began to Slacivized. Both of your sources claiming what I'm suggesting.

Edit of your source cited page 98 saying

"The first Bulgarian and Slavic state founded by Bulgars, the Turks who arrived from Southern Russia."

Firstly, Carlos Ramirez-Faria is neither a historian nor a archeologist. Secondly, this source goes nothing about my edit. It says "Slavic" state. I didn't say they are not Slavic. It wasn't founded by Slavs in the first place. Later it got Slavicized and became Slavic. Your sources goes against Wikipedia Rules and I have no chance to report you if you'll continue to violate the page. Volgabulgari (talk) 15:19, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Problem with the map of the First Bulgarian Empire in 850
Hello there, when you first access the page "First Bulgarian Empire" on wikipedia the map of the First Bulgarian Empire in 850 named "Balkans850.png" with the measures 628 x 517 pixels doesn't include the Torda salt mines as being part of the First Bulgarian Empire but when you click on the map, the First Bulgarian Empire in 850 includes the Torda salt mines (up to Southern and Central Transylvania): File:Balkans850.png

Please solves the issue, thank you in advance. Ninhursag3 (talk) 15:27, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * On 11:06, 26 April 2023 the Hungarian user @OrionNimrod maliciously changed the map saying "there was no Wallachian in 8-900" even if the Hungarian historian István Bóna himself mentioned Vlachs and Slavs being part of the First Bulgarian Empire: https://mek.oszk.hu/03400/03407/html/49.html " The Bulgar empire on the Danube had a mixed population that consisted principally of Bulgaro-Turks (whose language began to acquire Slavic characteristics in the 9th {1-269.} century), various Slavic tribes, and the Balkan Latins (Vlachs). One of the fundamental goals of the early Bulgar khanate's empire-building policy was to resettle the various ethnic groups."
 * Also he mentions Slavic and local Balkan peoples' graves in Southern Transylvania before the arrival of the conquest of Southern and Central Transylvania by the Bulgars in 830: " there is general agreement that in Danubian Bulgaria's 'pagan' cemeteries of the 8th–9th centuries, these graves held the remains of Bulgaro-Turks. To be sure, cemeteries of this type were less numerous than those that cremation and double rites identify with the Slavic and local Balkanic population" in the region of Southern Transylvania in chapter 6 titled "SOUTHERN TRANSYLVANIA UNDER BULGAR RULE" of the book "HISTORY OF TRANSYLVANIA: Volume I. From the Beginnings to 1606" https://mek.oszk.hu/03400/03407/html/1.html Ninhursag3 (talk) 15:44, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Ninhursag3! Maliciously changing? If you see history many users already changed that map with the same reason to restore the original one. This blocked user changed the original map first to write there Wallachia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Spiridon_Ion_Cepleanu (and his sockpuppet Julieta) That maps depicts around the years 850. Wallachia established 500 years later in 1330, the historiography does not know about any Wallachia in 850, so the maliciously changing as history falsification to put Wallachia state in a map 850. So I restored the original map. Please consult other historians and map makers that no international maps show Wallachia in medieval maps before 1330. Probably they are all malicious....[11][12 ][13] OrionNimrod (talk) 16:15, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't care about other users, they can change this names to Julieta or whatever. I'm a woman, not a "fake internet woman" or a "sock-puppet woman". I am very disappointed about the lack of female users on wikipedia though, that some male users even make fake female sock-puppets accounts. I plan to stay on wikipedia for years to come and to talk cordially to everyone, including you. I won't ever change my IP. I don't want to insult you but what you did was malicious. I never mentioned Wallachia as a state before 1330 (even if the Second Bulgarian Empire or Vlach–Bulgarian Empire/Bulgarian–Wallachian Empire between 11185 and 1422 existed or  Great Wallachia between the 12th and 14th century existed) just mentioned what the Hungarian historian István Bóna said:
 * Vlachs and Slavs being part of the First Bulgarian Empire: https://mek.oszk.hu/03400/03407/html/49.html " The Bulgar empire on the Danube had a mixed population that consisted principally of Bulgaro-Turks (whose language began to acquire Slavic characteristics in the 9th {1-269.} century), various Slavic tribes, and the Balkan Latins (Vlachs). One of the fundamental goals of the early Bulgar khanate's empire-building policy was to resettle the various ethnic groups."
 * Also he mentions Slavic and local Balkan peoples' graves in Southern Transylvania before the arrival of the conquest of Southern and Central Transylvania by the Bulgars in 830: " there is general agreement that in Danubian Bulgaria's 'pagan' cemeteries of the 8th–9th centuries, these graves held the remains of Bulgaro-Turks. To be sure, cemeteries of this type were less numerous than those that cremation and double rites identify with the Slavic and local Balkanic population" in the region of Southern Transylvania in chapter 6 titled "SOUTHERN TRANSYLVANIA UNDER BULGAR RULE" of the book "HISTORY OF TRANSYLVANIA: Volume I. From the Beginnings to 1606" https://mek.oszk.hu/03400/03407/html/1.html
 * I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings for saying "malicious". Can we please make peace and try to see eye to eye? I don't think Spiridon Ion Cepleanu would bother to read István Bóna or try to be as cordial as I have been. I put a lot of effort on reading up on these historical aspects from both Romanian and Hungarian perspectives. About the ethnogenesis/origin of Romanians I'm neither pro-Daco-Roman continuity or pro-Balkan immigrationist theory but lean more on the pro-admigration theory.

Anachronism regarding Basil II
In the paragraph dealing with khan Omurtag and his persecution of Christians I have deleted the sentence "Menologion of Basil II, glorifies Basil as a warrior defending Orthodox Christendom against the attacks of the pagan Bulgars". Since Basil II ruled more than a century later than Omurtag, the information seemed irrelevant. If this was a mistake on my part, please make the relevance more clear in the article.
