A barnstar for you!
Hi Calthinus, thank you for the barnstar. I've only just started the article but there is so much more to write about with a whole bunch of sources. Feel free to contribute to the article! Botushali (talk) 00:25, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Source suggestion
Hey, hope you're well. I have added a source to your draft about Bektashism in Albania. --Maleschreiber (talk) 04:47, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I’m sure it will prove useful - feel free to contribute! Botushali (talk) 12:33, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Botushali. Saw that your doing a Bektashism in Albania article. In depth sources are: Albert Doja, A political history of Bektashism in Albania and Harry Norris,  Islam in the Balkans: religion and society between Europe and the Arab world . Ger Duijzings, Religion and the Politics of Identity in Kosovo  also has content that covers Bektashi's in Albania and about Naim Frasheri influencing them or there abouts.

Andrea II Muzaka
Hello! I was wondering for the Andrea II Muzaka page can you also add the part where he recieved a throne? Thanks Arberian2444 (talk) 21:30, 13 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Is there a source for that? Botushali (talk) 03:33, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah it was on the talk page you posted it ;-;
 * "George Christos Soulis, The Serbs and Byzantium During The Reign of Tsar Stephen Dusan 1331-1355 and His Successors (1984) p.142: After Dušan's death the Musachis extended their territory southward. We have already seen how Andrew Musachi, with the help of his sons-in-law Balša and Gropa, took the city of Kastoria from Marko Kraljević. The same Andrew also came into conflict with King Vukašin. As a reward for his victory, Andrew received from the Byzantine emperor investiture over Kastoria, the title of the despot of Epirus with the privilege of the golden seal, and a throne embroidered with the imperial emblems in pearls." Arberian2444 (talk) 04:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm hesitant to add that on without more sources to back up that part - I think it may be some sort of mistranslation. Muzaka was presented with the Imperial emblem by the Byzantine emperor John V, I am not so sure that it was a throne. Botushali (talk) 00:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Some Help
Hello! Im still kinda new to wikipedia and im not sure how to report someone on here. But Theirs this user called GreekCaptain2003 and he keeps Vandalizing the Page Dushmani family and other pages connected to it. Do you know what to do? Thank you! Arberian2444 (talk) 19:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @Arberian2444, when dealing with an editor who keeps edit-warring or vandalising certain pages, the first step is to place the appropriate warnings on their user talk page. Relevant templates for warnings might include Template:Uw-3rr, but you can also find more templates here - CAT:UWT.
 * If they do not stop what you see as a violation of Wiki rules, or they begin to behave in a WP:UNCIVIL manner, I'd suggest reporting them to the admins here - Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Make sure you include diffs (i.e. examples of edits) as well as examples of you trying to communicate with them. This is the best option; avoid getting into drawn-out edit wars or uncivil conflicts over articles, because it will trap you into a cycle of constant disputes with certain editors which is ultimately unproductive. Don't fall for provocations and don't engage in discussions in a manner which may possibly allow people to produce evidence against you in a report to the admins.
 * This is something I wish I had done more when I first began Wikipedia - it would have made my time on here a lot more enjoyable and easier. Just play by the rules, use the Wikipedia guidelines, the policies and admins to solve whatever disputes you might have over articles and their content. Just refrain from petty engagements with people who clearly have an agenda or are not here for the right reasons. Botushali (talk) 23:17, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! It was so confusing trying to figure out what to do when people started vandalizing some articles I just kept watching and waiting for an experienced person to do something about it. Thank you again! Your probably the nicest person I met on this website so far! I also had a question are you Albanian as well? Arberian2444 (talk) 23:39, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries - anytime! Botushali (talk) 23:46, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

WikiPage Help
Hello again! I needed some help with a page. Can you help me move City Football Academy (Durrës) to the name "Dyrrah City Football Academy". They recently made a website so this Academy finally has an official name. As well as could you help me upload the logo of the academy. You can find the website here with the logo and name You can see a dragable logo at the top left when you first open the website. Thank you again! Arberian2444 (talk) 23:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello - before moving pages, it’s important to read up on WP:COMMONAME, a policy which I was not familiar with when I started Wikipedia and therefore made several page moves that violated this policy. Moves should not be done unless the common name is something else, and if they’re potentially controversial, you should start a page move discussion. Please see WP:MOVE on how to move a page if you are convinced that the new name you want is the common name in English.
 * In terms of the picture, I’m not exactly the best at uploading myself. I’ve only created a single map and posted a few pictures I took personally, so I don’t have experience on uploading team logos and the like. You’d have to upload it on Wikimedia Commons just like any other image, but you need to make sure it doesn’t violate any copyright whatsoever. I’d suggest reading up on Wikipedia copyright guidelines regarding sports logos for this. Sorry I can’t be of any major help here. Botushali (talk) 11:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Its alright thank you! Arberian2444 (talk) 13:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Battle of Durazzo 1376
Hello again! I was wondering if you could take a look at my new article and see if you can make any tweaks to it or if its good? Thank you again! Battle of Durazzo (1376) Arberian2444 (talk) 00:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @Arberian2444, I had a brief glance at the article earlier and it looks ok. Lots of sources and quotes, which is the most important part.
 * Scanning through it, however, I would say the article title isn’t the most accurate? I believe it was a siege rather than a battle - or perhaps it could be titled as a campaign instead, since it was all part of a campaign of a claimant to gain a claimed title. That would IMO be the most fitting.
 * Nice article, though!! Just make sure you’ve avoided plagiarism and copyright violations. Botushali (talk) 09:06, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Botushali Ok thank you! Maybe we could change the title to whats most accurate I wasn't sure what to call it myself. So could we request this on the talkpage of the article?Arberian2444 (talk) 14:54, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Regarding page moves, page move requests or discussions should be held only when the move could potentially be controversial and/or disputed. Otherwise, go ahead and make the move yourself if it is not controversial.
 * You created the article and are most familiar with the sources and content, and I don’t see how any article move we discussed above would be controversial or incorrect. You’re free to move it whenever you like. Botushali (talk) 04:41, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok! Thank you again sorry for the bother! Arberian2444 (talk) 06:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Disruptive edits
Regarding the Voisava Kastrioti article, there have been previous discussions about its wording. Your decision to remove the results of these discussions, despite being aware of them and without attempting to bring it to the talk page, is very disrespectful and violates several guidelines.

If you still disagree with the outcomes of past discussions, please start a new talk page discussion and share your thoughts there. Show some decency to editors who have previously spent significant time discussing and contributing to the article. --Azor (talk). 17:48, 17 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @AzorzaI, I would like to know which source says “most scholars”. Botushali (talk) 00:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Help moving a page
Hello again! Im having some trouble moving the George Thopia page to Gjergj Thopia. I tried to move it and it didnt allow it when I went to the move page I clicked enter and it didnt allow it. I scrolled down and saw a move log that said:

Move log 18:08, 26 October 2015 Ujkrieger talk contribs moved page George Thopia to Gjergj Topia (Most Google Books hits.) (revert) (thank)

I then hit Revert and it took me to another move log

Move log 09:51, 14 November 2016 Zoupan talk contribs moved page Gjergj Topia to George Thopia over redirect (thank)

Im not sure what to do in this situation because the guy who moved it back to George caused the Gjergj Topia page to just become a redirect link and so I cant use the name Gjerg Thopia to rename the George Thopia page because Gjergj Topia is still a page but its just for a redirect. Could you help me fix this? Thanks againArberian2444 (talk) 17:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Never mind I managed to figure it out by myself haha Arberian2444 (talk) 20:13, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
