Păcuiul lui Soare
Здрасти, Laveol, thanks for providing sources for the statements in the Păcuiul lui Soare section of the Ostrov article. As for "ostrov", I know it means "island" in several Slavic languages (including Bulgarian) and also in Romanian (a borrowing from Slavic), however that does not mean that its etymology is Bulgarian. If you could provide a source for that, it would be great. Cheers, Mentatus (talk) 17:23, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Hm, well, this would be pretty hard since Bulgarian researchers do not explicitly mention it, as far as I am aware. They assume it to be self-explanatory, since they treat the fortress as being built by Bulgarians and that the only Slavic language that could have given the name of the island, to be Bulgarian (or, the Slavic dialect of local tribes, as I would it imagine, to be more accurate). The problem is that the only other language we might be dealing with is Russian (none of the other Slavic states have hanged around or even near the place). But in Russian the word is actually pronounced Ostrav. I will try and dig up some source but I imagine it'd be hard enough. We might change Bulgarianto South Slavic for now. What do you think? -- L a v e o l   T 20:16, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Fine with me, it sounds good. Mentatus (talk) 11:46, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited List of twin towns and sister cities in Macedonia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lom (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
