Talk:Kilkis

message: I've made 3 edits:
1. I've added Macedonian, and Serbian, because Kukush is generally a South Slavic term, not an exclusively Bulgarian term.
2. 'the mostly Bulgarian inhabitants' was changed, into 'inhabitants' only - it is not necessary, nor correct to deliberately emphasise the 'bulgarity' of its slavophone inhabitants, on the basis that they were expelled to Bulgaria.
3. I've turned the 'bulgarian revolutionary' into an IMARO revolutionary - the nationality of GD's is controversial issue, and you can find a deeper insight into this subject in the article about Goce Delchev.
I hope these changes won't trigger nationalistic debates from either side. Best regards. --FlavrSavr 03:56, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I remove here the sentence: "The church of "Madonna of Kilkis" was completely destroyed by Uniates and members of Bulgarian Exarchate" The reason is that the source (in Bulgarian: T. Vlachov "History of Kilkis", Plovdiv (Philippoupolis) 1885 - without page number), which should support it, is false. I checked in all available reference books, but such Bulgarian book in the 19th century has not been issued. There isn't any information on such book in the most authoritative edition devoted to Bulgarian books in 1878 to 1944 - Български книги 1878-1944. Библиографски указател. т. 1 (А-В), София 1978. (Bulgarian Books 1878-1944. Bibliographical index. vol 1 (A-B), Sofia 1978.) The truth is that there was Bulgarian author named Touché Vlahov (1899-1981), who was born in Kukush (Kilkis) and wrote about the history of this city. However, his books have been published much later and their titles does not match exactly with that in the reference above. I tried to check in his book ("Kukush and its Historical past", Sofia 1969) the information about the alleged destruction of the church "Madonna of Kilkis" by Uniats and Ekzarhists, but I didn't find such data.--Males (talk) 13:40, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason why Macedonian Slavic language is mentioned in the name of Kilkis or someone just want to make ipression? Kilkis was named under Ottoman empire as Kilkis, Kilkic, Kalkis, or Kukus (by Bulgarians), until 1912. From 1912 to 1913, it was under Bulgarian control with the name: Kukus. From 1913 until now, it is in Greece with the name: Kilkis. In 1948, the new Macedonian Slavic language apeared. What is the relevance of a Greek town (previously Bulgarian and more previously Ottoman) with that language?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.67.153.147 (talk) 12:23, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
