Byzantine-Bulgarian relations
Hello Gligan! It is a very interesting idea, which will also hopefully allow us to go into a bit more depth than is usual here, analyzing influence in religion, culture, society etc. A good title would be simply "Relations between the Byzantine Empire and Bulgaria", which is ample enough to cover every possible aspect. Such an article is indeed fertile ground for a collaboration, but, unfortunately, time is the one thing I don't really have right now due to RL concerns. If you are willing to start it, I promise to help as much as I can, with sources, copyediting and counsel. If you want, send me an email, and I'll send you some English sources you'll no doubt find useful. As for the battle, most English-language writers largely cover it in a few short sentences: the siege of Serdica is mentioned, then the retreat and the ambush, and some comments given on its importance, i.e. the restoration of Bulgarian independence and the loss in prestige of Basil which resulted in the rebellions of the two Bardases. If requested, I'll be happy to supply citations (I may even do so either way, during the weekend, if I find the time). Best regards, Constantine  ✍  14:10, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Scotland?
You support Scotland leaving the United Kingdom despite the fact most Scots do not? I am curious as to why? G. R. Allison (talk) 14:57, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply,I just find support of something the Scots don't want for Scotland strange. But yeh, thanks for the reply. G. R. Allison (talk) 13:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
