How Many Wikipedias Are There? The Re-Writings of History on the Bulgarian and the Macedonian Sites

Summary/Abstract: The study is based on the analysis of list of Wikipedia pages on two different domains – the Bulgarian and the Macedonian ones. As a co-author of the “The Gun Exploded: The Rise of the Macedonian National-Populism After the Bulgarian Veto” a study, which can be found in current journal, I have encountered some interesting models in articulating the historical narrative in both domains. Both, Macedonian and Bulgarian ones, are overflowed with historically unconfirmed information presented to the users as facts, which, as I found, is done in pretty systematic manner. The biggest online encyclopedia works as camouflaged media, in which the historical facts are presented in bias. This depends on the mutual agreements between the editors and administrators of the different domains. These agreements are made in Wikipedia forums, which are open but can be found only after long and deep search on the exact theme. This study is deep dive in some of the problematic themes between the two countries in time of political crisis. After conducting quantitative content analysis (via SENSIKA analytic system), I review some of the most dynamic sites in both domains and their editors.
