Delchev as editor of Socialist press.

Latest comment: 1 year ago7 comments3 people in discussion

The verification of this claim failed: He and Glavinov edited several socialist newspapers.^[1]^[2]^[3] None of the sources verify that Delchev edited such newspapers. In fact, Delchev never edited socialist newspapers, neither alone, nor together with Glavinov. Jingiby (talk) 09:26, 27 July 2025 (UTC) Jingiby (talk) 09:26, 27 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Yeah. On a second read of Ljuljanović's source, it could be just referring to Glavinov as an editor, rather than both him and Delchev. So, I agree that it should not be restored, in the absence of a source that directly verifies and specifies the material. StephenMacky1 (talk) 09:49, 27 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

I am not aware that Delchev personally edited any newspaper. Rather, he gave sometimes ideas to Peyo Yavorov and Nikola Naumov, who editied the revolutionary newspapers Delo and Pravo, which were not directly related to socialist propaganda. As for the newspaper Politicheska svoboda, Ljuljanović is right about Glavinov. Besides him, other leftists such as Stoyan Ivanov, Dimitar Vlahov, Dimo Hadzhidimov and Andon Shulev were editors of the newspaper, but not Delchev.Jingiby (talk) 10:13, 27 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

19999o, most sources see him as a leader of IMRO generally. So, I think this part about him being the leader of the left-wing faction in the lead section is undue. StephenMacky1 (talk) 10:38, 28 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

He was leader of the leftists as well, the left-wing and right-wing factions rivalry is a very significant part of the history of IMRO. 19999o (talk) 00:24, 29 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

The rivalry was primarily after the Ilinden uprising though. Delchev was a leftist and some sources do perceive him as a left-wing faction leader, but this perspective is more suitable for the body than the lead. StephenMacky1 (talk) 00:37, 29 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

I agree with StephenMacky1. The rift between the 2 factions and their formation appeared after his death. Jingiby (talk) 12:18, 30 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
