Page title

[edit]

Macedonians (Bulgarians) is very confusing and much of the article is unsure as to which constituent of a duality is intended here.

  • In the 2002 Republic of Macedonia census, a thousand or so citizens declared Bulgarian as their ethnicity.
  • A small percentage of the inhabitants of Bulgaria's spoil of the Macedonia region declares itself Macedonian.
  • The remaining "ethnic Bulgarian" people of Pirin Macedonia (Bulgaria's part) may also be classed as "Macedonians" on a local level.
  • A major influx of residents of Republic of Macedonia took advantage of the offer extended to them by Bulgaria in recent years which was that they were eligible for automatic Bulgarian naturalisation. Many seized this offer to migrate where Bulgarians are permitted to live and work (which for a number of reasons is a wider choice than for Macedonian passport holders). This offer has more red tape now that Bulgaria has been engulfed by the EU.

So I am saying work needs to be done. New titles, half the article one way the other half the other. --Edin Balgarin (talk) 17:38, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PS. To prove the point, both Macedonians in Bulgaria and Bulgarians in Macedonia (mutually exclusive pair) redirect to this article. --Edin Balgarin (talk) 17:40, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Macedonians in Bulgaria has been redirected back to where it needs to go (Ethnic Macedonians in Bulgaria), and I've just done the same for Bulgarians in Macedonia (Bulgarians in the Republic of Macedonia).
As far as I can tell, the region of 'Macedonia' is being used to refer to the widest possible definition of Macedonia (excluding modern Greek Macedonia), and for this article ethnic Bulgarians from that area. This definition of Macedonia would not refer to the modern borders, and include areas on both sides of the modern Macedonian-Bulgarian border. So the examples above are a) people in the Republic of Macedonia identifying as ethnic Bulgarian, b) ethnic Bulgarians in the Macedonian region claiming the name "Macedonian" over "Macedonian-Bulgarian", though both mean the same in this context, c) ethnic Bulgarians in the Macedonian region, and d) (ethnic Bulgarian?) Republic of Macedonia citizens claiming Bulgarian nationality. Alcherin (talk) 23:04, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion

[edit]

Please, provide a valid reasons for this idea. The article is based on a lot of third-party academic sources. Denying the existence of the Macedonian people due to political and nationalistic agendas is not a correct claim. The article does not imply such theory. I'm removing the tag until you could provide a meaningful explanation for your action. Thanks. Jingiby (talk) 09:31, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Developments on Macedonian Bulgarians/Exarchs

[edit]

i've recently discovered that in 2022 as a part of an agreement between Macedonia and Bulgaria in Skopje they've opened an art museum for artifacts and art made by Macedonian Exarchs/Bulgarians during Ottoman Macedonia, i suggest we add a small section in this article where it mentions this opening or atleast mentions something about the pieces present in the museum. So far i cant find a lot of sources so if anyone can help out it would be appreciated. Gurther (talk) 14:22, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ottoman Census

[edit]

Why is Ottoman census brought into this? the Ottoman goverment ran on the Millet system where they counted the population based on their religious beliefs rather then ethnic ones, this article is about Macedono-Bulgars, not the Bulgarian millet, morever this census is already mentioned in better detail in the Bulgarian Millet article, it's pointless and contributes nothing to the article.
