Some
Wikipedians have formed a
project to better organize information in articles related to Bulgaria. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the
talk page and see the
to-do list there.
To join WikiProject Bulgaria, edit this section and insert the
Wikitext#{{subst:me}} with your areas of interest into the following list of members in alphabetical order. Members should also place
member identification on their user page.
Create new articles and help translate articles from Bulgarian Wikipedia. You may like to write a highly-requested article (like a red link that you see everywhere), translate a well-written article from the
Bulgarian Wikipedia or some other language you know, or just dedicate yourself to a field you feel confident in that obviously lacks coverage. If you know of an article which has substantial content on Bulgarian Wikipedia but little in English please add {{Expand Bulgarian}} at the top of an article or section. It should add the following:
You can help expand this article with text translated from
the corresponding article in Bulgarian. Click [show] for important translation instructions.
Machine translation, like
DeepL or
Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 278 articles in the
main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide
copyright attribution in the
edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an
interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing Bulgarian Wikipedia article at [[:bg:Уикипедия:България]]; see its history for attribution.
You may also add the template {{Translated|bg|Уикипедия:България}} to the
talk page.
Build and fill the new Municipal templates in a drive to build a detailed guide to Bulgaria by municipality by adding villages, notable landmarks, people and culture from each municipality. Please follow
Template:Smolyan as a guideline and help get Bulgaria covered in detail in this way.
Edit other articles:
Expand stubs.
Fill in and check sources, references and external links.
Fill in categories.
Copy edit: check spelling and punctuation, standardize dates, mark stubs.

Izgrev gas field(

EsperPike (
t ·
c): No significant information about this oil field available anywhere. It appears that this is just a subsection of a larger oilfield (Galata). Original source is dead and unarchived.
This article could need some improvement in content and style, especially the section "Domestic policy".
Also, on the
Talk-page it is suggested, that the name of the article should be "Borisov" and not "Borissov" as it currently is. --

Relief map of Bulgaria?
Is there some compelling reason why we are using the blank (though it does show administrative boundaries) map of Bulgaria in our Location template, rather than this nice
Relief Map of Bulgaria that the Bg page uses?

Bulgaria on every language
While i've found that several articles can be read on many different languages, some others are not widely spread. I propose to translate the articles to those languages with the largest number of speakers. I could manage to translate and to add lacking information to articles in Spanish (besides the obvious English), i could also do it on Italian, but, while it is a popular language all around, i think it could be better to do it on a second stage of this project. I just need someone to help me with the basics of making a wikipage and i could have all the information translated to post it.
I came across the story of
Solomon Passy's Trabant, which would be a real good item for the Did you know section on the main page. However, to qualify it needs to be an article that has been expanded by at least a 1000 words recently, which I am not able to do. Who can?
Preslav 13:00, 7 July 2006 (UTC)reply
No one. It only qualifies if it gets expanded beyond 1000 characters, and it is already longer than that.
I think it would be nice to have a section on this page dedicated to articles lacking images. It's a cliche that a picture is worth a 1000 words, but I think people not familiar with Bulgaria who see our beautiful country would be really pleasantly surpirsed. Many articles lack images, if we start identifying them, maybe we would be able to find images hidden in the Commons or other language versions, or someone might take pictures of the subject matter faster than otherwise. Thanks, --

Thanks, Tosho! So we should really use {{Reqphotoin|Bulgaria}} then? Once we figure this out, the category will start filling up quickly. ;-) Thanks! --
Vanka5 21:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)reply
I figured it out, it works! Thanks again, Tosho! --

Add Bulgaria to every "List of" article where it is missing
As a way of putting Bulgaria on the map, I suggest adding it to every list from where it is missing, but other European/Balkan/etc. countries are present. E.g. search Google for "site:wikipedia.org "list of" Greece -Bulgaria -intitle:Greece -intitle:Greek" to find suitable pages.

Assessment
We now have our very own
Wikipedia:WikiProject Bulgaria/Assessment. Please join in rating every single Bulgaria-related articles according to the quality and importance scale — you can find instructions on the page above. Thanks! Todor→Bozhinov 19:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)reply
Hallo there,
Not sure this is the right place but anyway: I would like to ask for some help with regard to the Bulgarian dialects, for which there is practically nothing written until now. I have started with
Serres-Nevrokop dialect and
Blagoevgrad-Petrich dialect (or actually completely re-written the previous Macedonian articles) and established a template (see below). I would appreciate any contribution as this area lags severely behind.

Featured and good content
An important goal of this project is to produce as much featured content that is directly related to Bulgaria as possible, with featured articles being a top priority.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by
JL-Bot (
talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is
tagged (e.g. {{
WikiProject Bulgaria}}) or
categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See
WP:RECOG for configuration options.
Material from the following publications and newswires often deals with the subject here. This material can be in either citation, abstract, or full-text format, depending on the source. If anyone wishes to receive material from these sources, please send me an e-mail indicating either the specific subject of interest, or the dates and names of the relevant sources, and I will e-mail in response the material I recover.
