::Why modern and medieval should be stated ? Maybe because the Middle Ages ended, like, 600 years ago ? Note that this is a temporary solution until the other party decides to treat the issue rationally, which is doubtful given certain users' quasi-paranoid experiences. - ☣''[[User:Tourbillon|Tourbillon]]'' ^{[[User talk:Tourbillon|A ?]]} 20:17, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi guys, I welcome this compromise since it brings us one step closer to a definitive consensus. However, if we are going to separate Bulgaria's history in medieval and modern, then I think we should add under "medieval states" Old Great Bulgaria, as well, since the only thing Asparuch did was to move the capital from Phanagorina southeast to Pliska after the defeat of Bulgaria by the Khazars. The Manasieva Chronic, written at the time of Ivan Alexander (I hope I am correct about the period) does not even mention Asparuch as a founder of Bulgaria but it traces Bulgarian History back to Kuvrat and 632. Nice, a??? Ceco31, Ximhua, Apcbg, good job guys. Future, good job as well.

I hope that sanity will prevail and noone will vandalize from now on the infobox amputating 1200 years of history. The history section is generally always bad and people tend to skim quickly over it. Very few will notice that in the medieval ages Bulgaria was a large and important Empire, which existed as independent state for 6 1/2 centuries before going under Ottoman rule. The presence of these significant dates in the infobox will however fix the attention of the reader, which is a very good thing.
