Talk:Albanian revolt of 1910

Endorsement from the Albanian deputies in the revolt
A note can be made in the article for the endorsement to the revolt given by Ismail Qemali and especially Nexhip Draga in the Ottoman Parliament and the rejection of these deputies of the martial law. Aigest, can you please find a source for that? --Sulmuesi (talk) 16:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll try to find them. Meanwhile I think the title is correct, it is the most used term for the uprise in literature and although it is not mentioned in the article fights took place even in Lume region (see Frasheri 1984). Aigest (talk) 08:37, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Poorly written
What cities were attacked, what cities were entered and what cities were captured?

Text of the article is poorly written and confusing to the readers who can be mislead about who controlled what cities and when. There is a list of cities (Prishtina, Ferizaj, Prizren, Gjakova, Shkoder, Shkup, Peje, Diber,....) that were attacked, entered or captured by Ottoman army or Albanian rebels, but it is unclear if Albanian rebels ever captured any of the cities or not. Readers could be mislead to believe that Albanian rebels captured all those cities and then Ottoman army had to “take possesion of Prizren and Gjakova”, “enter Shkoder”, “capture Peje”, “went to Shkup” that were “attacked in Prishtina and Ferizaj”... If Albanian rebels managed to capture any of those cities, that should be clearly written what cities they managed to capture. It is especially valid for Shkoder that was extremely important town and stronghold for any party in conflict, and if Albanian rebels managed to capture it, it should be described in separate subtitle. If they did not manage to capture all towns on the list (or any town like it is written on the very end of the text), text should be rewritten in order not to mislead readers.

Lead section does not describe events properly

“New centralization policies” that, according to text, inspired revolt remained absolutely not described. Why would they inspire only Albanians to revolt, and not people of other ethnicity, and why only Albanians on Kosovo ...... If new taxes were introduced in 1910, why there were revolts before 1910, even before Young Turks revolution that happened in 1908, .... --Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:09, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Factually inacurate and not verifyable
Text is factually inacurate. “new centralization policies of the Young Turk Ottoman government in Albania.” This is part of first sentence that contain inacurate facts. There was no Young Turk Ottoman government in Albania from three reasons. First, Ottoman government was not organized on geographical principle, but on administrative (vilayets), that did not correspond to geographical region. Second, Albania is linked not to Albania as toponym but Albania as country, that did not exist in 1910. Finally, it is obvious that revolt took part only on Kosovo which has nothing to do with Albania as toponym or state.

Info box give figures of 3.000 rebels and 16.000 soldiers of Ottoman army. But if 3.000 ambushed the train under control of one leader, where was another leader Isa Boletini and how many rebels he had under control to control other territories? In the text it is written that Ottoman army gathered 50.000 soldiers, which does not correspond with number in info box.

Info box describes location as Northern Albania, but there is no described revolt in Albania at all. Only on Kosovo. If there was no revolt in Albania, then article is mistakenly categorized in History of Albania.

Lede is without any reference, and informations can not be veryfied. There are no inline citations. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:09, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Please look carefully at the link to the Wiki article "Young Turks" - it is not meant to be read as one 3-word 'subject' - as such, the lede is fine as-is in this respect.50.111.49.156 (talk) 16:44, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Not broad in its coverage
Circumstances that led to the rebels are poorly described. What were in fact demands of the rebels? What about their armour, is it true that government of Kingdom of Serbia, Kingdom of Montenegro and Italy provided arms for rebels? What was reaction of other countries that were interested for the region? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:11, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Not properly illustrated
Readers that are not very well acquainted with geography (most of English speakers does not know much about toponyms used in text) would need a map of the region with marked territory that was under control of rebels. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

1908 choice of alphabet
A block of text about Congress of Manastir held in 1908 was boldly added to this article. Since this revolt had nothing to do with choice of alphabet used to write text in Albanian language, I removed it. If anybody has valid argument to support its inclusion please bring it first here.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 17:34, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
