This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Yordan Stefanov Yovkov''' (((lang-bg|Йордан Стефанов Йовков))) (November 9, 1880 – October 15, 1937) was a prominent [[Bulgaria]]n writer from the interwar period.

==Biography==
Born in the village of [[Zheravna]], Yovkov studied at First Sofia Men’s High School, from which he graduated in 1900 with honors, and became a teacher. After teaching for one year in a village in central [[Bulgaria]] he entered into the School for Reserve Officers in [[Knyazhevo, Sofia|Knyazhevo]] as a cadet, before moving to [[Sofia University]] to study law in 1904.

When the [[First Balkan War]] began in 1912, he received the rank of enlisted, and along with his brother Kosta, joined the 41st division (probably 41st regiment) at [[Burgas|Bourgas]]. He was wounded by a bullet in his leg fighting in the [[Second Balkan War]] in 1913, during a battle near [[Dojran|Doyran]]. Following this, he settled in [[Sofia]] and became an editor of the People’s Army (Narodna Armiya) magazine, and then librarian for the Minister of Interior Affairs and editor of a state publication((which?|date=March 2023)).

During World War I, he was sent to work as a border officer at the Greek border near the [[Nestos (river)|Mesta River]]. Whilst there he received a summons to work as a correspondent for the paper Military News.

He spent years teaching in [[Varna, Bulgaria|Varna]] until the autumn of 1920, after which he served as a press secretary in the Bulgarian legislation in [[Bucharest]]. He was demoted in 1927 for unspecified reasons, which caused him to resign and return to [[Sofia]].

==Literary work and legacy==
Yovkov’s war experiences greatly influenced his mentality and style of writing. Whereas his first literary effort was a short story about village life and patriarchal customs, published in 1910, his post-war pieces were harsher and more militaristic. Eventually he moved away from [[Melancholia|melancholic]], depressive themes towards authentic descriptions of villagers and country life. In his short story ''Shibil'', he used ''turkisms'' to give a sense of realism to the work. His works ''Legends of Stara Planina'' (1927, ''Staroplaninski legendi'', alternately known as the ''Balkan Legends)'' and ''Inn at Antimovo'' (1927) established him as a major writer. In 1929, he received the [[Cyril and Methodius Prize]] for Literature from the [[Bulgarian Academy of Sciences|Bulgarian Academy of Science]].

His other works include the dramas ''Albena'' (1930) and ''Boryana'' (1932); a comedy ''The Millionaire'' (1930, ''Milionerut''); and a book, ''The Family by the Frontier'' (1934, ''Chiflikut krai granitsata''). "Albena" (1962) - libretto Peter Filchev (after the drama of Yordan Yovkov) and "Millionaire" (1965) were made into operas by [[Parashkev Hadjiev]].

A number of his stories were made into [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0950378/ films], including ''Nai-vyarnata strazha'' (''The Most Loyal Guard'', film in 1929); ''Shibil'' (1968); ''Nona'' (1973, from the novel ''Chiflikut krai granitsata''); ''24 Chasa duzhd'' (1982, based on the novel ''Chastinyat uchitel''); and ''Serafim'' (short movie, 2017).

==Honors==
Yovkov’s natal home in Zheravna was turned into a museum in 1957.

In 1985, a dam in northeastern Bulgaria was named after him. [https://web.archive.org/web/20050825153927/http://www.veliko-turnovo.com/yantra/eng/Elena.htm Yovkovtsi Dam], situated 5&nbsp;km from the town of Elena, supplies water to [[Veliko Tarnovo|Veliko Turnovo]] and surrounding areas.  It is 223,000 decares in size and is a hygienic protected zone.

[[Yovkov Point]] on [[Greenwich Island]], [[South Shetland Islands]], [[Antarctica]] is named for Yordan Yovkov.

There is a bust of Yovkov in the park behind [[Vasil Levski National Stadium]] in Sofia.

The village [[Yovkovo]] in [[General Toshevo Municipality]] in [[Dobrich Province]] is named after him.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.nsi.bg/nrnm/show2.php?sid=56469&ezik=en|title=Events for Yovkovo village, General Toshevo municipality, Dobrich district|work=[[National Statistical Institute (Bulgaria)]]))</ref>
