Talk:Provinces of Bulgaria

message: would like to harmonise, see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Subnational entities#Current use 
there are two kinds of oblasts, the big one and the small one. big one would be like region small one like province. The old okrug would also be province. But as far as I see, oblasts are generally translated as regions. Therefore I favor to call them all X Region Tobias Conradi 22:10, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought "province" was a usual name for the Bulgarian oblasts, but a short Google inquiry showed me that "region" is used 50 times more than "province" (I tested Vratsa X and Shumen X). I think this page should be called "Regions of Bulgaria" (or "Administrative divisions of Bulgaria"), and the 28 provinces should be moved to X Region. BTW I'd rather not use "oblast", it is English wikipedia, and the Bulgarian government uses "region" on its English language sites. Markussep 10:02, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I just have to say this... the plural of "oblast" is now "oblasts"?  Do you have any idea how awkward that sounds?    Then again, "oblasti" probably wouldn't be the height of clarity either ;) ObsidianOrder 10:23, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  plural? 

message: Because the main wikitable is sortable by population, etc. I removed the other static (and redundant) tables - if a user needs to sort by a topic, they can simply sort that column now. I also removed the redundant list of the provinces since the list is in the wikitable... cleaned up the article. On to adding the municipalities now... :) Rarelibra 13:19, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Too many tables

message: A new law was passed on 15 May 2008 for new subdivisions of BG,
however, ostensibly only for "statistical" purposes. It is called the "Regional Development Act" (note: "regional" here does NOT refer to the administrative regions/provinces, but generally).
