Boris
Hey again Laveol!

A while ago, the two of us discussed the origin of the name Boris. I posted a comment on the article's talk page, regarding this matter, as I had encountered a reliable Swedish source which contradicted the current version in English Wikipedia. You said you would look into it, since apparently the Russian version backed up my claim, but I haven't heard from you since then (perhaps you're on vacation, in which case I wouldn't like to bother you. Neither have I heard from said Swedish source. We should resume our discussion in order to reach consensus, and subsequently, depending on the outcome, make the appropriate changes or leave the article as it is. I hope you respond soon.

Warning of IP
Bolgarian is another acceptable name for Bulgarians. Not widely used, but still accepted. Just look at several translations for Bulgaria, for example:


 * Azeri: Bolqarıstan - Turkic
 * Bashkir: Болгария (Bolgariya) - Turkic
 * Chuvash: Болгари (Bolgari) - Turkic
 * Erzya: Болгария Мастор (Bolgariya Mastor) - Finno-Ugric
 * Kalmyk: Болгармудин Орн (Bolgarmudin Orn) - Mongolic
 * Ossetic: Болгари (Bolgari) - East Iranian
 * Uzbek: Bolgariya - Turkic

Need I provide more? Just look at the article about Bulgars, the proto-Bulgarians. It even states the term Bolgars is accepted as Bulgars, even redirecting to the latter article when entered in Wikipedia's search engine. And look, everyone has personal preferences, or just taught that way. Not everyone necessarily abides to EVERY grammatical and spelling rule in the English language. For example, I know of quite a lot of people who use Montenegrian over the correct term Montenegrin. Like I said, personal preference. Also, just as a heads up, your message on the IP's talk page can be interpreted as a threat. Cheers! --Kilibarda (talk) 23:10, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
