- I have only made a translation from the Bulgarian Wiki to the English, because part of the things which were mentioned are not true. And please don't misunderstand me, but the unknowledge about my hometown, this pissed me off. And if you don't mind in my spare time I will translate the rest of the article, but this time I will made a raw copy and show it to you before posting.

- Since you left me a question at my talk page, I answered in length there. I'd rather not split the discussion, so please decide where you want it to take place, in my talk page, in yours, or in the page's. --Muhandes (talk) 07:26, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for the spare time to read and answer my question . So when I make a translation, of any kind, from other Wiki article I have to relay on other sources, not only on the article? And Is it possible to use books on my language as a source or should they also be translated into English?
- P.S. I prefer to continue this discussion on my talk page and not to separate it on 2 or 3 places at a time. Feel free to criticize me and make notes on me. And I apologize for the discomfort I make on your talk page, I thоught it was a open page discussion.
- To learn more about translation, read Wikipedia:Translation. You could just translate without adding sources, in which case the article will most likely be tagged as lacking sources. About this, the guideline says "If certain portions of an article appear to be low-quality or unverifiable, use your judgment and do not translate this content" (my emphasis). Note that there are some things that must be referenced.
- As for what can be used as a source, while online English sources may be preferred, the main requirement is that the source is reliable. I have used Hebrew books in the past as sources. --Muhandes (talk) 10:32, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
