message: The importance of "In Absentia Reports" is undermined in the article. It's generally considered the most important and concise documentary of the Communistic Era in Bulgaria (1944-1989). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.177.89.140 (talk) 18:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, this is extremely important, rather than the silly umbrella gun stuff. It was widely disseminated underground in Bulgaria and was very influential. 87.121.162.189 (talk) 12:56, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  In absentia reports 

message: The section: ] KGB ricin attack was the only documented assasination attempt on U.S. soil, is of poor quality and not well though out. Should it be removed? Compoundinterestisboring (talk) 08:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've killed it, feel free to do it up and put it back in, I suppose. Compoundinterestisboring (talk) 13:30, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Weird Section

message: In the "In popular culture" section there are a couple of spoilers (e.g. for Tom Clancy's Red Rabbit a major plot point is revealed). Should a spoiler warning be added? Belperite (talk) 21:43, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the part which seems to contain most of the spoilers for me. The rest is the relevant part in my opinion. Compoundinterestisboring (talk) 07:20, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spoilers 

message: I have removed the following from the article:
:The story goes on to note that the Bulgarian statute of limitations ended in 2008.
1. The story doesn't mention the statute of limitations and was written before 2008.
2. Statutes of limitations cover minor crimes, not murder.
3. While Bulgaria could have jurisdiction over the planning of the murder, you would expect the trial to be held in Britain where the act was actually committed.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:56, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Statute of Limitations in Bulgaria 

message: Hi.  It seems to me that the wrong slant is given to Markov - with the emphasis on how he was killed rather than what he stood for and what he did as a Bulgarian dissident.  When I ask my Bulgarian high-school students if they know of Markov, the very few who do relate his name to the 'umbrella murder' and not to his courageous voice against the communist regime.
I'm happy to give detailed examples of my point of view but first, invite a reaction.

thread_title:  Georgi Markov item - wrong slant 

message: Relatedly, I think the article would benefit from a bibliography and overview of his oeuvre. Valkotukka (talk) 20:18, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: The article currently states:
"Regardless of whether the doctors treating Markov had known that the poison was ricin, the result would have been the same, as there is no known antidote to ricin."
This conflicts with the Wikipedia article on Ricin itself:
"Rauber and Heard have written that close examination of early 20th century case reports indicates that public and professional perceptions of ricin toxicity "do not accurately reflect the capabilities of modern medical management.""  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.198.134 (talk) 21:12, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Suggesting deletion of the image "A diagram of a possible umbrella gun."
It is unclear and makes little sense as to firing mechanism of the umbrella gun.
A completely redrawn labelled diagram should be made - ideally featuring a black and white line sketch with component hatching of the umbrella's cross section  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.26.48.253 (talk) 17:08, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
