Congratulations on making it to today's listing on the "Did You Know..." section of Wikipedia Main Page. The process of making it the listing takes a bit of effort and involves the quick cooperation of many editors. All involved deserve recognition, appreciation, thanks and applause.

First of all, I want to congratulate the principal author, Gligan, as well. The pictures in this article bewitched me, leading me to translate it to my language (sl:Naravni park Strandža) as a contribution towards this year's Wikimedia CEE Spring initiative. I did some Google digging however, that uncovered several issues with the park's current conservation status, not the least of which is the fact that it's been without a management plan for 20 years now. The article would much benefit from adding a section on current legal issues. I invite the author or other contributors to translate the chapter "Legal and conservation status" ("Pravni in varstveni status") that I added to :slwiki's version. Google Translate should help, and there are many good sources available because it seems this has been quite a controversial subject in Bulgaria for the past 10 years. — YerpoEh?18:21, 13 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much for editing the text - prose is among my weak traits and the main reason I don't review other GA nominations. --Gligan (talk) 14:31, 14 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
As I normally look at the good articles being nominated, particularly geography and earth sciences, I would like to the point out that the climate box is unsourced. There should be a numbered reference after the source (not simply "source=stringmeteo.org") pointing to the data directly (or at least point you to a navigation page that will display the climate data) as using that one takes you to the main page, not to the data. A good example would be this example where the numbered references take you either to the data directly or to a navigation page that will display the climate data. I suggest finding it or removing it. Normally I would fix this on my own but I don't understand any Bulgarian. Ssbbplayer (talk) 03:18, 12 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
What Ssbbplayer wants is the newest version of Kichukova M., 1983, Climate Guide of Bulgaria, National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Volume 3. Clearly there is a newer volume as the data includes 1985. Just copy and paste the English of the newest version of that publication and I can help you with the citation formatting.

Oh, I see now, the temperature data is from the climate guide and the precipitation data is from the website. Added a citation for the climate guide so that they are now both cited together.Abel (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for very much for improving the citation. And I would like to use the opportunity to once again express my gratitude for your work on the prose and, of course, for promoting the article. Best regards, --Gligan (talk) 16:45, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Done The prose is very good, just needs some minor, grammatical and such, editing. Abel (talk) 02:06, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
