Some suggestions

Hello, Artem P75! I am glad that you have taken an interest in Bulgarian villages. This is a topic of much needed attention in the English-language Wikipedia and I will be glad if you continue your contributions on the topic. I would like to suggest a few things to your attention:

Please, do not add an "About" section in the very beginning of articles, such as in Devintsi. The articles should have at least one sentence in the lead that goes without a section.

If you have the time and patience, you could fill in the infobox of the villages by adding a map and additional information. You could takes as an example the infobox of the village of Zvanichevo.

You could use some available websites for information. Two examples are: the Tables of Persons Registered by Permanent Address and by Current Address at https://www.grao.bg/tna/t41nm-15-03-2024_2.txt where you can find up-to-date information about the population of every settlement in Bulgaria (when you enter just type Ctrl+F and type the name of the village you search for in Cyrillic). The second site is the BG Guide at http://bg.guide-bulgaria.com/SC/pazardjik/panagyurishte/oborishte that also has some information. When you cite a source, you can again see the formating used in the article of Zvanichevo.

You should sometimes double-check for technical errors. For example, your edit in Borovitsa, Kardzhali Province is actually for the village of Borovitsa, Vidin Province - please revert your edit from the first article and add it to the relevant one.

You can also create new articles on Bulgarian villages - there are still hundreds of villages without an article. When you do so, you may use the information Bulgarian Wikipedia to fill in the infobox - the information about the postal code, area code, etc.

Thank you vey much for your advice Gligan I will certainly take this on moving forward. I have amended the incorrect province information regarding Borovitsa as well as removing the heading of Devintsi. I have tried creating / editing info boxes without success, I will have to better educate myself on how they function before I can effectively start altering them.

I am very happy to hear that you are glad to see my interest in Bulgaria and the wonderful villages found there, and I thank you for your advice. I will also look forward to adding villages not yet found on Wikipedia as I come across them Artem P75 (talk) 08:20, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Further suggestions

Hello again, Artem P75, and thank you for your newest contributions. I would like to offer some additional suggestions on your approach on editing:

Regarding Momchilgard Museum: You should start by finding another article about a museum, such as Pazardzhik Regional Historical Museum. You can then copy the infobox (there are very different infoboxes depending on the topic - for settlements, museums, landmarks, biographies, rivers, mountains, etc.), paste it in your article and start editing the rows in the infobox one by one by replacing the information with the relevant one. Sometimes you may lack information about certain rows. For example, if you don't have a picture, or any kind of stat. In that case simply delete the information from the original infobox (not the row in the table, just the information) and leave it black. There is nothing wrong with that.

The same logic applies for other articles - to properly edit Zvezdel Mine, you find another mine article, like Chelopech mine and follow the same steps. Some for Orpheus's Sanctuary (it is actually better known as the Tatul Sanctuary, so I have redirected it to this name) - you can find another ancient landmark article, like Beglik Tash.

You can also take example of similar articles to select relevant categories.

I have edited all three of your articles, so that you can see how what exactly needs to be added.

Thank you very much again Gligan, this is very helpful and I very much appreciate it. Thank you for improving my articles, it is nice to see and gives me a good demonstration to refer back to for future articles. It is also quite motivating to see interest from other community members.
