Electoral system

Could anyone confirm the electoral system currently used in Bulgaria. There seems to be confusion over whether the single-member constituencies still exist, or whether all seats are elected by proportional representation. The IPU claims the former, whilst the IFES claims both... Cheers, Number 57 08:22, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

All seats are elected by proportional representation. They tested out a mixed electoral system in the 2009 elections when 31 of the seats were elected from single-member constituencies. The next elections (2013) did not feature any form of majority vote. However, there is a motion to once again amend the Electoral Code in the near future. --Laveol ^T 11:19, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

The article: Elections in Bulgaria has now been updated. I noticed how badly outdated it was! There is still some more work to do here. Kndimov (talk) 14:10, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

WW1 Reparations

Hi, I am working on the World War I reparations article. I am currently expanding the information on the Bulgarian reparation demands and payments. Thus far, I have established the following:

1 - Treaty of Neuilly established that Bulgaria had to pay 2.250 billion Gold francs in reparations.(Treaty of Neuilly, Article 121)
2 - In 1923, the Bulgarian reparation sum was "revised downwards" to 550 million gold francs "plus a lump sum payment of 25 million francs for occupation costs".(Marks, Myths of Reparations, pp. 234-5)
3 - Between the treaty signing and April 1922, 173 million gold francs were paid (1)
4 - Between 1925 and 1929, Bulgaria paid a further 41 million gold francs, before reparations were abandoned at the Lausanne conference of 1932.(2)

Can anyone provide additional information (including sources)? Such as:

1 - Do the above figures represent total Bulgarian reparation payment, and if not what was it?
2 - Did an event, such as the Dawes Plan for example, occur to revise down the Bulgarian reparation payments?

Thanks for any help provided.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 03:56, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Communist Bulgarian technology

Hi. I was recently looking at the Bulgaria article and saw that there was no mention to any of the computers (Pravets, Vitosha...) built in the PRB from the 60's to the 80's. On the People's Republic of Bulgaria page, there is a picture of the Vitosha and a helpful caption about the "Silicon Valley of the Eastern Bloc." Could we add some more information to the Bulgaria article, or at least link the "Science and Technology" section of the Bulgaria page to the "Economy" section of the PRB page?
