Re: Request
Hi Gligan, re: your first question, the next time that happens, just purge the page; the problem seems to have fixed itself anyway. As for your second question, yes, it is; see this guideline about legitimate alternate accounts. For a faster response to your questions, you can use the help desk.

Family tree
Hi! I didn't do the family trees for Ivan Alexander and Simeon I, I also required assistance for these :( Looking at it, I'm not convinced I'll be able to make the requested changes myself. Perhaps you should request assistance from someone with more markup experience :) Best,  — Toдor Boжinov — 14:12, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Bulgarophygon
Hello Gligan! Of course I'll check the articles, although I won't have time over the next few days. Cheers, Constantine  ✍  13:12, 24 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I've checked Peter (diplomat) first, and made some relatively minor copyedits & changes. It is a good article, however it will be hard to understand for the average WP reader because much background information is missing: you should add an introductory section, dealing with the arrival of the Bulgars in the Balkans and the fights against Byzantium, the Christianization itself and the antagonism between the churches, so that the references to these are better understood. For instance, it would be unclear what relation the Byzantine Empire has with Constantinople (it is not mentioned that it was the imperial capital), and why remaining under the Patriarchate would undermine Bulgarian independence. The boyars' reluctance to accept Christianity also ought to be mentioned briefly. Cheers, Constantine  ✍  10:18, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Well done, the intro section is perfect. I made only a few cosmetic changes. Constantine  ✍  22:43, 4 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I checked the article on Bulgarophygon, it seems largely OK. I'll check with my own sources (chiefly Shaun Tougher, although I'll try to find whatever else I can..) on the prisoners and the 30 fortresses. On the prisoners, I think we can let it stand, as that is the number reported by chroniclers. It is probably exaggerated, that's why I put an "allegedly" in front of it. On another issue, the description of the battle is very short in comparison to the rest. While not unusual in several battles, I'd suggest trimming down the "Background" section a bit, esp. with the view of creating a separate article on the 894-896 trade war (or alternatively, you could expand the Bulgarophygon article into an article on the war, and have the battle link to a section of it). What do you think? Constantine  ✍  13:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree, two articles are better ;) Good luck with the war articles, and take your time. BTW, on sources, you might want to check out library.nu, it has got tons of stuff... Constantine  ✍  15:00, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Lardea and Ktenia
Hi! I took the liberty of nominating Lardea and Ktenia (fortress), which I renamed and expanded somewhat, to T:TDYK. Hope you don't mind :) Your contributions to DYK are very welcome and don't hesitate to nominate your own articles. On average, at least a thousand people will visit the article's page on the day it's on DYK. This makes it a great way to make people want to learn more about medieval Bulgarian history! Best,  — Toдor Boжinov — 20:20, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not that difficult to think of a hook. Even if you don't think you've come up with a good one, you can always ask people to help with alternatives. Reviewing is easy too :) I've nominated Treaty of Chernomen, but I strongly encourage you to try this yourself in the future :) Best,  — Toдor Boжinov — 08:18, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
