Talk:Milan Stoilov

Strange edits
Adding the term didactic to the name of the novel written by Stoilov does not seem to me to be mandatory. Even more to ask for an explanation about its meaning when there is a whole article about it in Wikipedia and thus everything becomes clear for the reader. The repeated removal of the definition Bulgarian before the term revolutionary is also unusual. Moreover, there was an added credible source for this. The biography of Stoilov itself also does not refute this fact. However, no explanation was given on these actions. For this purpose, I ask that in the case of such questionable edits, which have been contested several times by other editors, clear and indisputable explanations must be given here in order to reach a consensus on the talk.

 * Bulgarian Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Nevertheless there is written he was Bulgarian revolutionary influenced by the ideas of Macedonism, not an ethnic Macedonian. Jingiby (talk) 19:39, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I have added the opinion of the Russian historian LabaurI. He has explicitly mentioned Stoilov in his study. It is interesant his remark under the line # 8: The choice at the beginning of the 20th century of the definition “Slavo-Macedonian” as an ethnonym was determined by the desire of its authors to emphasize the Macedonian national identity in conditions when the definition of “Macedonian people” was already quite widespread both in free Bulgaria and in enslaved Macedonia, and as a rule, denoted either a separate part of the single Bulgarian nation, or a conglomeration of various Macedonian nationalities. In the literature, the activists of this Slavic-Macedonian national movement are also called "Macedonists", and their ideology is characterized as "Macedonism" Jingiby (talk) 20:23, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

I am confused why you insist that we qualify him being a Macedonian activist with "according to Macedonian historians". Do Bulgarian (and other) historians not recognize that the Macedonian Scientific Literary Society worked in Macedonian/Macedonist activism? This should not be considered a disputable statement. -- Local hero talk 04:27, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think you're right. Everything is strictly individual. Members of this same Slavic Macedonian group of students in Moscow at the beginning of the 20th century were Krste Misirkov, Hristo Shaldev and Dimitar Cupovski. The first throughout his life was sometimes Bulgarian, sometimes Macedonian. Shaldev defined himself as a Bulgarian, while Chupovski gradually developed a clear consciousness of a Macedonian. This is the beginning of a complex and contradictory process of forming a new nation, which crystallized half a century later. Jingiby (talk) 04:48, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * This statement is not directly about ethnic identification. It is about him being an activist of Macedonian nationalism/Macedonism and, thus, I see no need for qualifying such a statement. -- Local hero talk 05:02, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Fixation in a period of 1 year of a given person's life cannot provide a clear idea of his biography. The same person was earlier an activist of a clearly pro-Bulgarian organization such as the Secret Macedonian-Adrianople Circle and then of the pro-Bulgarian IMARO, which Labauri writes about.
