Sorry, what is PROPAGANDA? I actually use today's Greek name of the town. Many of the towns in Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey have Bulgarian, Greek and Turkish names. Other thing - I have just mentioned the names of two Bulgarians born in Kilkis. -- 172.191.128.106 21:13, 12 Sep 2004

I agree - the fact that the town is known by more than one name clearly needs to be mentioned, not least in an historical context. I've expanded the article to provide that context. -- ChrisO 23:28, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Well I don't agree with what anon did to this article, from another point of view. Kukush is not just the "Bulgarian" name for the town, but it's called so in Slavic Macedonian and probably other Slavic languages as well. Some proposed etymology for this name, that I do not exactly endorse but I consider worth mentioning, suggests that it dates back to the era of early Slavic languages (Proto-South-Slavonic? Where's Crculver?). If anyone knows more about it, he/she should help clarify it.
Goce Delchev's origin, is it Bulgarian of Slavic Macedonian? Discussions with Macedonian Slavs made me thought they claim he's theirs. Etz Haim 18:51, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Who's that "famous entertainer" DAF? Not exactly as popular as Stefka Sabotinova, I guess. :) Anyway, the link points to a disambiguation page where he's not mentioned at all. I think I'll remove his link if someone doesn't fix it soon. Etz Haim 20:04, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

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)
