Skanderbeg GA review
I addressed your concerns in Talk:Skanderbeg/GA1. Please review. If you are not a returning user under a different name I don't know, but what I can say for sure is that you should be more specific in your review. --  S ulmues (talk) 21:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you please restore my comments to your review? You made an edit which removed all my comments. This is considered disruptive in Wikipedia. . --  S ulmues (talk) 15:31, 24 September 2010 (UTC)


 * You might also want to know that I retired the nomination. Since you didn't formally place "on hold" at the GA nominations, this review is worthless and no longer required. Thank you for your efforts. --  S ulmues (talk) 15:40, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Talk:Skanderbeg/GA1
A tag has been placed on Talk:Skanderbeg/GA1, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Skanderbeg/GA1, you may be blocked from editing.  S ulmues (talk) 19:04, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Euzen, I reverted your edit, because calling the Albanian editors "Albanian nationalists" can be used against you. Please do not use discriminatory labeling for other editors in Wikipedia. I also made some comments to your review. I disagree with most of your comments: in general an article should be based on secondary sources. Right now the article is not ready for GA: I will have to work on it a little more to reflect better sources, but thank you for your help with it. --  S ulmues (talk) 02:56, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.

The next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Talk:Vojsava Tripalda, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please stop personal attacks   S ulmues (talk) 13:40, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Before we preceed,

- can you indicate which was the alleged "personal attack"?

- Are you the one who will block me or an administrator? If the latter, how you know it in advance? --Euzen (talk) 13:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, for a moment I thought user S. is the owner of Wikipedia. He has one or two alter egos, too.--Euzen (talk) 17:28, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

here you spoke about Johann Georg von Hahn. Here is the link to page num. 136 with text: “Die Serben vindiciren sogar Skenderhey ala den ihrigen und sind wenigstens gegen sein Andenken dankharer.” [http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en&safe=off&q=Die+Serben+vindiciren+sogar+Skenderhey+ala+den+ihrigen+und+sind+wenigstens+gegen+sein+Andenken+dankharer.&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wT#de|en|Die%20Serben%20vindiciren%20sogar%20Skenderhey%20ala%20den%20ihrigen%20und%20sind%20wenigstens%20gegen%20sein%20Andenken%20dankharer. GT] says: "The Serbs even vindicate Skenderhey ala theirs and are Dankhar at least against his memory." If you know latin, maybe you can help with translation?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 15:48, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * These are footnotes in Hahn's book, not very well interpreted by the OCR program. The latin text is nothing new. It's the Barleti's paragraph on Castrioti's origins. I gave the exact page in that discussion. In general it says that Ionannes Castrioti was one of the lords of Epirus and he was coming from a noble family of Aemathia (Macedonia). You can also check one of the many translations of Barleti's book in French or other languages. --Euzen (talk) 21:11, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Stratioti, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. — ZjarriRrethues — talk 15:34, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Skanderbeg on the road to GA and FA
Here in GA review number 1 you suggested:

a paragraph should be added to explain the meaning of "Epirus" and "Albania" as it evolves in primary, secondary and tertiary sources accordingly.

Would you be willing to create such paragraph with referenced sources, and to put it on my talk page, because I a preparing the Controversies section of the article which maybe should include the paragraph you suggested?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:19, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

My pleasure. But I will not participate in any edit war.--Euzen (talk) 12:35, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Gosh Anti, where you found this? I suppose I deserve it for not interfering too much with that article :) --Euzen (talk) 16:40, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Chameria
I removed the info about the Mycenaean period, since the title is focused on the historical-political concept of the Albanian communities that originate from the region. Fell free to propose any additional suggestion.Alexikoua (talk) 14:28, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Let the reader to "focus" on whatever thinks important. The results of Ottoman occupation of this area may be unimportant to others. This is a geographical area with great history. 20th century events are unsignificant to non-Albanian users.

HI there, I reverted your edit, Talk:Vojsava_Tripalda, please lets review this at talk about it before continuing. mike James Michael DuPont (talk) 21:16, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Idea that may solve the issue
I started something that i never done before, but i like it already very, very much. As explained here, i started new draft on Vojsava Tripalda‎‎, with idea to create article, sentence by sentence. As article is quite small, we will easily add part by part, and create one good version that will be the best. Please, say to the talk page will you participate, as i would really give my best to help, compromise and do what ever is needed to finally, after one year of discussion, end this on the best way, friendly and calmly. I will do my best, and i hope that you will do that also. :) All best. -- WhiteWriter speaks 22:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Schmitt
According to this Schmitt's work was published in 2008 and it says here  and the debate that arose in the autumn of 2008. The Albanian version of the book, btw, was published before the German one. Since the crux of your revert lies upon the date of publication, I suggest you revert yourself and stop giving a special place to material that's already included.--Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 20:49, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

We are talking about this book, published September 2009: [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skanderbeg-neue-Alexander-auf-Balkan/dp/3791722298 Skanderbeg. Der neue Alexander auf dem Balkan.] Product details: Hardcover: 432 pages, Publisher: Pustet Friedrich Kg (Sep 2009), ISBN-10: 3791722298.

I suggest you stop accusing others for lies. --Euzen (talk) 06:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

ARBMAC
In a 2007arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user editingBalkans-related articles in a disruptive way. If you engage in further inappropriate behaviour in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article/topic ban. Thank you.
 * It's just a bit of info about ARBMAC, since you've been involved in the Anastas Byku dispute.-- — ZjarriRrethues — talk 00:39, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks mate. Have this info in mind next time you baptise people "Albanians" disregarding the sources.

Stratioti
Thanks for your comments on my talk page about edit disputes on this page. I am aware of the modern day ethnic sensitivities. I do not, however, think wikipedia is best served as a battlefield about questions of ethnicity. At present, to an outsider, the article has balance in that it is clear that stratioti came from the Balkans and Greece. The emphasis of the article should be on the military aspects. I still believe that you over-inflate one incident and that this unbalances the article. For what it is worth, I do not find your edits childish and such insults by your opponents are uncivil. Best wishes Monstrelet (talk) 14:10, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. The article can be de-flated but this has to be done in a balanced way.

Hey
Okay, I'm really, really sorry about this, but I've gone through your edits and... you need to take time off.

When you come back, please bear in mind that rude edit summaries and rude statements towards other editors are less than acceptable. I also call your attention to the ARBMAC ruling, which has been stated to apply very broadly to any and all disputes pertaining to the Balkans, and according to which all administrators can implement disciplinary measures as they see fit.

I do not like imposing disciplinary measures on users who are productive contributors. But Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia, not just a collaborative encyclopedia. You must be able to work with others.

It is the Christmas season. Go spend time with your family. Your block will expire on December 26. DS (talk) 19:53, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, happy Xmas.

Mezzojuso
As you know from the many disputes you've been involved in outdated sources aren't acceptable, so please use only modern ones. Btw I checked another work of the author you're citing so and I'd suggest you don't consider it a reliable source, as it'd be comparable to tour guides in modern times. In general try checking how many times and by whom an author's work is cited to get a moderst understanding about its reliability.-- — ZjarriRrethues — talk 13:30, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia users may not mind what you checked and what you think "outdated" and "unreliable" (unless WP defines them). In my turn I would think that everything written during Hodja period in Albania is good only for a laugh. But this is my personal opinion. The article will be restored with original quotations. If you think that "Greco" means "Byzantine" you can add a relevant note. You are not supposed to edit the article according to your interpratation. Also, Buccola writes about "Greco-Albanians" and not "Albanians". Inscription in the church is in Greek (for peoples to read) and not in Albanian.

Forum
Wikipedia isn't a forum, so please don't use it as such. Btw the 1914 article about the Danish nobleman, didn't mention Korçë (Koritsa in Greek), but Konitsa (Konitza, a less known settlement of Greece that you thought was Korçë).-- — ZjarriRrethues — talk 02:22, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Dot above i or dot after и
Hi,

I accidentally came to the portion of the text of one letter that can be seen here or here. I know that it is forum, but I suppose that this letter is authentic.

If it is authentic then it maybe can add additional light to several discussions about Skanderbeg's ancestor Branilo Kastriot. You participated in those discussions too. A couple of users emphasized that Fan Noli, Harry Hodgkinson and couple of other authors thought that the first name of Skanderbeg's ancestor was not Branilo because Karl Hopf made mistake and:
 * 1) saw names Branilo and Kastriot next to each other and thought it is one person
 * 2) overlooked letter и
 * 3) identified "i" within "Branilo i Kastriot" as I (Branilo I Kastriot)

If you look more closely to the text of the letter you will notice a dot after letter и and in the next sentence mention of Kastrioti, kephalo of Kanina.

Nobody denied that there was a kephalo of Valona whose name was Branilo. That does not mean that nobody else was Branilo. In case that Karl Hopf did not made mistake (and overlooked not only и but also a dot after it [и.] which I think is very hard to be overlooked because cyrilic i is three times more visible than i and if there is a dott after it) then the first name of the kephalo of Kanina was also Branilo, Branilo Kastriot like Hopf said.

What do you think about it? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:50, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

The letters provided in that forum seem to be a reproduction and are not photos of the original. If one dot or one i makes the difference in a national myth, then we should be suspicious that somebody would be tempted to add them in the original. However, these are not enough to change the history, as the name Branilo appears again and again in the Castrioti family tree. There is one Branilo (later Hamsa), son of Stanisa, and one more Branai "marquis d' Atripalda", grandson of this Branilo-Hamsa, very much in accord with the Greek-Orthodox tradition of grandson taking the name of his grandfather. --Euzen (talk) 18:55, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry
You've been given several warnings about dragging old-and-resolved issues back into activity. As well, you've been less than civil on multiple occasions, and your comments about "suspecting the motivations of anglo-saxon authors" verge on conspiracy theories.

As I've said before, I don't like blocking people. You've been a useful contributor in the past. But you're being problematic. The result is that I have blocked you for three weeks.

Please be more sensible afterward. DS (talk) 18:44, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I know this bibliography. Actually I had added Kallivretakis as ref. in the arthicle Albanian Regiment (France) (which till recently was a poor two-lines artcl) but the familiar users deleted it. Instead they discovered an ignorant book printed in English which says that in Corfu there were 3.000 "muslim Albanians".
