An estimate is only an estimate - not necessarily truth

So in 1990 the new Bulgarian government estimated that the total number of inmates was some 17 000, while "another witness" estimated 186 000. This is an enormous and absolutely unbelievable difference. Please, change the content of the message posted on Wikipedia's front page. --Cryout 20:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Insanly Bias Article

This article is absolutely mad, the worst I've seen. Apparently this hardly known article can get away with making insane POV and unsourced claims. If noone has nay major objections, I will clean up this article in the near future. I'll keep the figures, if they are sourced, but unsourced statements which are totally POV will have to go.

All the bias stems directly from the source, Tzvetan Todorov. The principal objection that can be made is that Todorov is anything but a historian (nor does he specialize in 20th century Bulgarian history in particular), so it is questionable that he is a reliable source for these events. It is, however, possible or even likely that one could also find a true historian making similar claims - in this case, it may be that Wikipedia will inevitably have to be biased, like the majority of mainstream sources on the issue.--91.148.159.4 (talk) 22:59, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
