 * An empty one, yes, and that is generally okay. I'll unblock with an apology if you can provide at least one reliably sourced entry for that section, simply by replying below. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:07, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

I sent you an information as a reply but I do not see it. Did you receive it? Asapundzhieva (talk) 21:45, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Well, I think you did not receive it. I could point out one person. He is my grandfather. He was born and raised in Bregare. His family was one of the founders of Bregare and our family tree is in the national historic museum and dates back not just to Kunino but even before that as it starts from Asenovgrad. My grandfather was a member of the 38 National parliament in Bulgaria. He is notable person in Bregare and Pleven and is mostly known with his career as a politician, but he is also an engineer and was a director of Textile factory in Pleven. The only source online that I could find is an interview from a local media, but it is only in Bulgarian. Asapundzhieva (talk) 21:54, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Sorry,, there may have been a technical error when sending the message, but independently of that I believe that my block was an overreaction, and completely unnecessary. I'll create the requested empty section on your behalf, as an automated filter currently prevents such edits to articles. There is currently a huge flood of vandalism by TikTok users who have been encouraged by internet celebrities add their name, and the names of friends, to Wikipedia's city articles – sometimes with pretty disruptive text ("has a phat ass" is just one of many terms used). To see the extent of this disruption, you may like to have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchFilter=1112 , noting the high frequency of edits that are automatically prevented. What you don't see on that page is the amount of edits that get through the filter after the first attempts. I'm trying to reduce the impact on Wikipedia by blocking such accounts before the actual damage appears in an article. This is mostly to enforce the biographies of living persons policy, as vandalism about living people on a widely viewed website like Wikipedia can have a serious, sometimes permanent, impact on people's lives. I thought you were about to add a similar contribution, but I have now also seen that you are a contributor to the Bulgarian Wikipedia and have already improved the Bulgarian article about the same city.
 * I'm sorry for the inconvenience and my error, and I will add a proper welcome message below. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:04, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I wrote this before I saw your second message, which was now sent. Please consider whether there may be a conflict of interest. I personally would recommend against adding one's family members, even if notable, to Wikipedia articles. Yet it is absolutely clear that you are editing in good faith and would like to improve the encyclopedia, so I'll remove the block quickly, as it prevents your first steps in the community. I'd like to wish you a very belated welcome, and again, apologies. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:04, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Additional note: Per Notability_(people), if I understand the situation correctly, your grandfather is presumed to be notable according to Wikipedia's standards, and you are welcome to submit a draft article about him for review. This is the recommended procedure for writing about people close to you, if you decide to do so. And, as your grandfather seems to meet the criteria, it is indeed appropriate to add him as a notable person to the article. When you do so using a citation (see WP:INTREF), your edit will automatically be allowed through the filter. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:09, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your prompt response and the information you gave me. For now I would add only his name and the fact he was a member of the 38th national parliament. And in the future I will try to find time and make a draft article so the information will be as complete as it can be. Thank you once again for hearing me out! Wish you success with your work!

 * Sounds like a nice idea, thank you very much for doing this. I believe that the addition will improve Wikipedia, as we really would like to have articles about all nationally elected politicians. Sometimes, and this seems to be the case here, there is sadly no other person who has yet taken the time to write about a notable person, and we do welcome such contributions even from closely connected contributors. The main concern about such additions is an overestimation of notability by closely connected people, but you have correctly noticed that your grandfather does meet the criteria, so there is no reason to discourage your help. Please let me know if any questions arise, for example by adding a message to my talk page (User talk:ToBeFree). I'll happily help with technical issues or policy questions. Thanks, sorry again and you're welcome. Face-smile.svg ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:33, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Well, now I see :) I will make the draft first and then will add it to this article :) Asapundzhieva (talk) 22:33, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, the filter has prevented the addition again. I have overriden its automated decision and made the edit on your behalf. Your username is credited in the history of the article. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you once again! Asapundzhieva (talk) 23:04, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
