Hello again :) Pretty nice, straightforward article! For now, three things to fiddle with:

• Add the nobility infobox for him.
• For File:Military campaign of Theodore Svetoslav (1303-1304).png, the caption reads "Map of Aldimir's lands in the context of Theodore Svetoslav's military campaigns". Now, do you mean that map is an extrapolation of the remnants of what were or would have been Aldimir's lands during the reign of Svetoslav?
• Do we have parentage/childhood/backstory on Aldimir? Rcej (Robert) - talk 05:31, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I've added {{Infobox nobility}} for Aldimir and reworded the caption of the map. What I meant to say was that it's actually a map of Theodore Svetoslav's campaigns, but it a also shows the extent of Aldimir's domain at the time. There's no more information about Aldimir's origin and childhood than what we have in the article. All we know is that he was a brother of George I and he was thus of Cuman descent. Pavlov's theory that they came from Hungary and are of Cuman royal descent (mentioned in the article) is very plausible, but it's not based on direct evidence. — Toдor Boжinov — 09:55, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Good... we're about done. :) Next, in Under Theodore Svetoslav, let's mention in the timeline the birth of Ivan Dragushin and/if there are any significances associated with his birth that affected Aldimir. btw, was Marina Smilets the biological mother of Ivan? Rcej (Robert) - talk 06:58, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it is unknown when Ivan Dragushin was born. In fact, the only source linking him to Aldimir is Dragushin's epitaph in the Pološko Monastery (the one with the portraits). I remember reading in The Family of the Asens by Ivan Bozhilov that it was only relatively recent studies that confirmed Ivan Dragushin was Aldimir's son. Until then, it was thought Ivan may have been a member of the Asen dynasty, and he was included in that book under this presumption.

Yes, Marina Smilets/Maria was the biological mother of Ivan Dragushin and the only (known) wife of Aldimir. — Toдor Boжinov — 08:55, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Very well :) We can stop here then... appropriately! That info would be better served in a Dragushin article than here. So, I am going to pass because really, everything is green and you're at the source limit. Nice work! Rcej (Robert) - talk 08:42, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I was out for the weekend. Thanks for the review! :) — Toдor Boжinov — 19:56, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
