Ethnic Macedonians in Bulgaria and Macedonians (Bulgarians)
I just found that there are these two articles. At first view it looks like these two article discusses the same minority in Bulgaria. Coul you help me what makes the difference between the subjects of these articles? --Ksanyi (talk) 11:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Mmm, I'll help you alright. But a quick advice first: never mention that you think those two groups are the same in front of an ethnic Macedonian editor. You'll most probably get bashed and cursed and stuff. I wish I was joking on this, but you'll find most of them too touchy on this topic.
 * Now back to the question. The first article ([Ethnic Macedonians in Bulgaria]]) is about an alleged ethnic minority in nowadays Bulgaria. I say alleged ethnic cause Macedonians and Bulgarians are hard to be distinguished in the ethnic sense of the word. Ethnographically and linguistically they are pretty much the same. Which can easily be said about most other related ethnic groups, though.
 * The second article is (as I understand it) about the population of the wider geographical region of Macedonia that have self-identified in the past as Bulgarians and those that do self-identify as such even today. I think reading the articles will help you understand. I could write much about them, but still I'll end up pretty much providing you with exactly the same info. Just go ahead and read them. -- L a v e o l  T 19:38, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
