Titles of the ancient Bulgarians (not "bulgar") rulers - Knyaz ot Boga (KANASUBIGI), not: han, khan, kan and so on[edit]

- Hi!

Thanks for your reference! - I studied a long ago, prior to dear to write in the wiki-resource areas! I also searched for that historical matter for a long time. And it is not me, alone. So if we did not managed to be enough convincing for you or other sincere editor, we will try again. But however we are in the firm opinion that the direction is clear and fine, as to the content of those articles, that treat the old Bulgarian history. Me and some other comrades already clarified the matter with some other editors, added some sources and so on. Please, give us some time, as long as the mishmash in this area is really very deep and wide.

Here is some of our "defense" over the topic:

Here is one of the studies over the titles of the old Bulgarian rulers. http://www.protobulgarians.com/Statii%20za%20prabaalgarite/Titli%20devnobaalgarski%20-%20Zora.htm

It is in Bulgarian language. The point is, that after the several Bulgarian king's and patriarch's libraries had been burned between 14 and 19 cent, there are very few old sources for the Bulgarian ancient and early history. However, THERE IS NO A SINGLE EVIDENCE for a single use of titles as "han", "khan" or "kan" for them. Oposite - there are many sources with the next ones, mentioned: "Kanas u bigi" (Lnyaz ot Boga), Rex, Emperor, Vasileos, Archont. Only the first one is written in the native, Bulgarian language, but in foreign letters )greek or lat.). It is usually found if such foreign old books (manuscripts), as the Manasseh chronic, Scilista chronic etc. That is why... it is written wrongly and the only way to read it is to know Bulgarian Language. So, it is mentioned, that several of them were referred as "A King from the God" (От Бога, владетел). Many of the scholars respect this reading of the expression "kanasubigi" but very few of them (!?) agree that the literal reading in Bulgarian language is exactly "Knyaz u Boga" (with small distortion by the foreign ear and hand), that is exactly what we already say: "A Ruler (Knyaz) from (U) God (Boga)"... Greetings for your patience! --212.5.158.130 (talk) 20:06, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Here I will try to provide several more sources and studies in that direction:

1) http://creative.sulekha.com/the-bulgarians_362377_blog Here it is written "During the year 635 kanasubigi Kubrat had sent envoys to the Byzantine Empire to sign a peace treaty with Emperor Iraklii and then Kubrat was given the title “Patrician”. - Sorry but in English the sources are really limited :) So this is a simple blog. 2) http://rodinabg.com/readarticle.php?id=5807 - just a clue - Here Kubrat is mentioned as "kanas", that comes from the same wrongly written "Knyaz" - a title that is in use even today... There is an article for the memorial of Kubrat in modern Ukraine. A quotation: "Предистория: През месец юни 1912 г в пясъчните дюни на река Ворскла край село Малая Перешчепина, Новосанжарски район, Полтавска област в днешна Украйна е открита гробницата на Хан /Канас сюбиги/ Кубрат - основателят на Стара Велика България, в която се е намирало и едно от най-богатите съкровища в световната история. Съкровището на Хан Кубрат е признато, като най-голямото през ранното Средновековие. Златните колекции на владетелите по него време не са просто древни имена, те носят важни политически послания. Съкровищата са мерило за властта, престижа и възможностите на държавния глава."

finally, you may refer here (illustrated):

3) http://www.protobulgarians.com/Statii%20za%20prabaalgarite/Titlata%20kanasuvigi-final.htm - Here you may clearly see the letters "KANASUBIGI" OR "KANAS".The point is that the languages around Bulgarian had not a letter for "Ъ" (Кънас) or for "Ѫ" - "KѪНАС". So, the letters "Ъ" and "Ѫ", could be read as the letter "u" in "fun". So the writers just regularly used "A", as "E" in the "paper"... And inspite of кънас (now "княз") they wrote "KANAS". THAT IS ALL... For "UBIGI", I already explained you - "U (ot) BOGA" - "In(from) The God".

- Please, consider, that THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL STUDY! - It is a common research in Bulgaria, but is a minor-ital, off-main-stream, view...

Thanks, again! --212.5.158.132 (talk) 21:39, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Boats landing on Hastings beach[edit]

Hello. I was doing some tidying on the article on Hastings, and noticed you removed an image of boats landing on the beach dating from 1819. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hastings&diff=627868573&oldid=627399121 This seemed to me quite an interesting snapshot of the historical development of the town, noteably showing much of it not built yet. I wondered why you felt it did not belong in the article? Sandpiper (talk) 07:27, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I removed it because it was placed in the lede and therefore looked rather awkward under the infobox. I have no idea why I didn't just place it under the history section at the time. Perhaps I just forgot! Anyway I have done so now and feel it looks much better. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. FM [ talk to me | show contributions ] 17:47, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You. I've been pushing some of the pictures about, and would agree they were, maybe still are, a bit disorganised. On my widescreen here they were all stacking up on the right. Sandpiper (talk) 04:34, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:45, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
