message: :Image:Bulgaria football union.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Regarding the 21 match undefeated run - it doesn't take into account that on 8 September 2007, Bulgaria lost 0:2 against the Netherlands in a Euro 2008 qualifier. So, the information needs to be changed accordingly. Cheers! Oleg Morgan 16:00, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Bulgaria national football team's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "FIFA":
From 2010 FIFA World Cup: 
From Mexico national football team: 
From Midfielder: 
From Serbia national football team: Serbia at FIFA official website
From Malta national football team:

message: Per WP:SECTIONCAPS: "Use sentence-style capitalization, not title-style capitalization, in section and table headings. Capitalize the first letter of the first word, but leave the rest lower case (except for proper names and other items that would ordinarily be capitalized in running text). Thus Section headings, not Section Headings; Previous club, not Previous Club." This the standard style followed by all Wikipedia articles so there no real good reason not to do it here. Common nouns do not require capitalization when used in section headings. - Marchjuly (talk) 21:44, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

message: There are restrictions placed on how non-free images such as :File:Bulgaria_football_union.png can be used on Wikipedia because specific type of licensing used. Non-free images are considered to be protected by copyright for Wikipedia purposes and, therefore, need to comply with WP:NFC. For images, such as logos and photos, etc., this means that all 10 of the criteria in WP:NFCCP need to be satisfied and the image is not to be used in any of the ways listed in WP:NFC#UUI. The national team logo does not have the separate, specific non-free use rationale it needs for this particular use per WP:NFCC#10c, and it cannot be used in the article without said rationale. Normally, the add would probably be OK to use after adding the necessary rationale, but in this case the image should also not be used per No. 17 of WP:NFC#UUI. No. 17 says "The logo of a entity used for identification of one of its child entities, when the child entity lacks their own branding. Specific child entity logos remain acceptable." In this case, the logo is being used in Bulgarian Football Union and this is considered the "parent entity" while the national team is considered the "child entity" for Wikipedia purposes. This means that the logo can be used in "Bulgarian Football Union", but should not be used in the individual national team articles. - Marchjuly (talk) 21:58, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

message: has recently tried to make major changes to article by edits such as  and . The changes includes some removing of reliable sources, undoing improvements and updates made by others, and re-adding match results which had been peviously removed as well as some changing of the sectioning/section headings, background colors, etc. The changes have been reverted with a request to discuss them on the article's talk per :WP:BRD, but there has not been any response and no edit sums are left. Since this is a pretty major edit, I think it might be a good idea to discuss this and find out what others think to see if a consensus exists for all or some of the changes being made.  - Marchjuly (talk) 16:34, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: He is a vandal inserting false data mainly to this but also other articles related to Bulgaria.  He removes historical infrmation and replaces it with phantasy.  I dont know why no one reported him and blocked him until now.  Also, I noteced some editors were correcting parts of the article but at the end the article was a total mess with fake information added by him now mixed in between corrected information. That is why I reverted the article to a version prior to his first edit here.  Now seems that the article is mostly OK, but from now on editors should revert all his edits and report him.

text: Hi . All you did was copy-and-paste the entire article onto the talk page after your edit request. Can you be more specific about exactly which part or parts of the article you would like to be edited and explain why those edits should be made? Please just don't copy and paste large sections of the article as your request since it's impossible to know what that's supposed to mean and because the article may contain non-free content which should not be posted on this talk page. If there are specific changes you would like to make, then make a new request in the proper format so that it can be easily reviewed by another editor.

This will add the new report to :Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/BulgariaSources/Archive.

message: I urge regular editors to PLEASE take care of this article in a more efficient manner. I notice the vandal keeps on comming back (as expected) but what is disappointing is to see that regular editors revert just parts of his vandalisation and keep on editing. That is not possible. Whenever you see an ip changing history and changing first ever game result from 0:6 defeat to 0:0 draw and adding Bulgaria played 1930 WC please just revert it all. Otherwise legit edits start to be mixed with his phantasy ones and ends up a painfull work to correct it all so one has to inevitably just revert way back reverting a number of legit edits from other editors in between. So: when you see the vandal adding phantasy to history section, just be BOLD and revert him entirely. FkpCascais (talk) 20:07, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
