Having checked Wikipedia, as you suggested, I found there the following statement: "Theodosius of Skopje is considered a Bulgarian in Bulgaria and an ethnic Macedonian in North Macedonia.". It is great that you decided to contribute here, we always welcome new contributors, but I suggest to focus on adding some new works, which would be much more helpful. Thanks for understanding. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 14:44, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hello. Thank you for welcoming me and feedback. I will definitely consider adding new works, however some pages need updates as well. It seems that they haven't been updated for a while. As for the alleged dispute on Theodosius' ethnicity, the sources on his Wikipedia article are pretty clear about his ethnicity. If I publish new works, they'll be Theodosious' works after 1891, which prove that he reverted to pro-Bulgarian views after 1891. I hope that answers your concern.

- 1) "Macedonian" refers not only to ethnicity, but also simply to anybody coming from Macedonia. 2) It is quite possible that he "reverted to pro-Bulgarian views after 1891", but this statement also means that he did not have them before 1891.
- As for adding Theodosious' works (no matter whether coming from before or after 1891): that would be really welcome and I can help you with whatever you may need, just do not hesitate to ask. We strongly prefer scan-backed works, see Help:Proofread. If you choose a book to proofread, I can help with uploading the scans to Commons, founding the index page etc. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 15:38, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Will do. Thanks for the offer. StephenMacky1 (talk) 20:04, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
