Welcome! Hope you will have a good time in the English project. Please let me know if you need any help by dropping a line in my talk page. --SulmuesLet's talk 04:51, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * User:Alexikoua is a Greek contributor that covers lots of topics relating Epirus for both the Albanian and the Greek side. He is an experienced editor and usually properly sources his edits. He is also fairly communicative and it seems like he has been to Albania some times. I suggest you talk to him in a talk page and he will give you the reasons of his edits. I also suggest that if you strongly feel for an edit you properly source it. Thank you for letting me know and please feel free to contact me for anythin you may have. --SulmuesLet's talk 19:44, 30 April 2010 (UTC) Oh, I saw that you were reverted by FPS in Old French. I think he is right on that and there are a lot of things we can learn from him. --SulmuesLet's talk 21:39, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Ne pergjithese nese te "revertin", mos e merr personalisht, po mundohu te shikosh aresyet mbrapa te cilave je revertur. Wikipedia nuk eshte vend i thjeshte, pasi bota ka opinione te ndryshme, keshtu qe te jesh preciz e me burime "secondary" eshte e vetmja menyre per te edituar. Do shihemi dhe faleminderit per kontributet. --SulmuesLet's talk 21:50, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Wldkrfthwoeirowcnd.png
Thank you for uploading File:Wldkrfthwoeirowcnd.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log].

Report
has reported you here so you may want to reply.-- — ZjarriRrethues —  talk 13:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Source please
Could you please source the Cham settlements that you brought to Chameria? They link to other places... --SulmuesLet's talk 22:02, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for providing that source. Also, I think you should revert yourself in the Capture of Klisura Pass article, the reason being that the sources have it with its Byzantine name. No problem there, if we can't change the name of the article, we can safely suggest that the Albanian name be mentioned, but for now it's time that you revert yourself. --SulmuesLet's talk 23:51, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Made the revert myself. Hope you don't mind. Right now we have too many sources with Klisura Pass and less with Kelcyre George, but in the future we might find other sources and change the name of the article. For now Capture of Klisura Pass should stay, it's early to have an article change. You might want to be interested in participating in Albanian and Greek wikipedians cooperation board where we'll bring all of our problems with the Greeks, and will be able to avoid any wikiwars. All we want is that Albania is well represented in Wikipedia. --SulmuesLet's talk 01:28, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Pal Engjelli
Si je? Before creating an article you should check if it exists like the case of Pal Engjëlli. Good job on Rebellion of Albanon (1257-1259).-- — ZjarriRrethues — talk 16:07, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi and thanks/Please come to board
Maximus, please see what is being said here before you make any changes. We are all in a 1RR until 30 of June, don't forget. We don't want to lose any valuable Albanian contributors like you because of blocks or bans. There is no need to do any edit warring. If you have an improvement that is Albanian-Greek related, just bring it to the board, obtain consensus, and then make the change. It might look lengthy, but it will actually save us time, because we'll avoid edit-warring. --SulmuesLet's talk 15:29, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Could you write a new article, for example the Qiriazi brothers (Gjerasim Qiriazi and Gjergj Qiriazi), or Sevasti Qiriazi? I'll help you bring it to DYK. Just draft it and then I'll review and help so that we both get the DYK nominations. I just wrote Parashqevi Qiriazi, please let me know your thoughts. And leave Alexikoua alone for a while. --SulmuesLet's talk 19:38, 12 May 2010 (UTC) user:Future Perfect at Sunrise is an admin and one of the best Wikipedians around, so please see what he does very carefully, because we are lucky to have him contribute in Albanian articles.

Warning
This edit of yours is completely unacceptable. You blanket reverted me without any explanation, even though my edits substantially improved the prose of the article. It is quite evident you are following me around and looking for opportunities to spite me. The next time this happens, I will go to WP:AE and I will ask for the strictest possible penalty to applied to you, SPI or not. Do I make myself clear? Athenean (talk) 22:28, 18 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Why don't you fix it yourself, since it was a "mistake"? If you don't revert yourself, I will take that as bad faith on your part report you to WP:AE where I will ask that you be topic banned.  Athenean (talk) 22:50, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No need to be rude my friend. What is the problem? Stupidus Maximus (talk) 22:52, 18 May 2010 (UTC)


 * One more such "mistake" and it's WP:AE. Athenean (talk) 22:57, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Tendentious editing in Lunxhëri
Can you please explain me why you completely removed [] the word 'Greek' from the main prose of the article? Mysteriously the sources remained. For example you changed this:During World War I and the interwar period, many families of ethnic Greek origin and of Greek consciousness, left the area, into this: During World War I and the interwar period, many families migrated or left the area, while the source is quite clear. Someone can conclude that this is just a highly nationlistic pov cleanup.Alexikoua (talk) 23:25, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

The quote is given in the article: ''These fluid identities were to be crystallised at the time of the creation of the Albanian state (1913) and during the process of Albanisation that followed. Lunxhëri was actually included in the definition of Northern Epirus as a land of Hellenism that should have been given to the Greek state in 1913, and many families left the area, and Albania,during and after the First World War, to avoid becoming citizens of the new Albanian state. These people are called in Albanian propaganda filogrek.'' and you mysteriously made a cleanup removing the word 'Greek' everywhere from the article.Alexikoua (talk) 23:33, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

You still need to restore tha initial form of the sentence, since you can't really give an explanation about this.Alexikoua (talk) 07:08, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Tendentious editing in Lunxhëri #2
Have you ever though to use googlebooks [], instead of blind reverting?Alexikoua (talk) 21:10, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

'Këllez', he was nephew of Poutetsis & fought together during Ottoman rule in the mountains.Alexikoua (talk) 21:13, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

About Poutetsis, his article has 3 verified sources.On the other hand it is clear that Kristo Stoja, Harrilla Rebi& Aleks Basho have '0' googlebooks hits. In case you don't add a verifiable source they need to go.Alexikoua (talk) 21:18, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

[] p. 21, assume you know Greek.Alexikoua (talk) 21:21, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Suppose this means, 'I insist on being tendentious again'. Since this is verified I'll make the essential adjustments.Alexikoua (talk) 21:30, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:54, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

May 2009
In a 2007 arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user working on articles concerning the Balkans. Before any such sanctions are imposed, editors are to be put on notice of the decision. This notice is not to be taken as implying any inappropriate behaviour on your part, merely to warn you of the Arbitration Committee's decision.

I have had it up to here with your juvenile trolling and mocking of other users. It is impossible to have a meaningful discussion with you. You immediately start trolling and mocking whoever engages you, and make it a point avoid answering their questions. This is very disruptive. IF I see one more instance of such behavior, I will take you to WP:AE where I will ask for a long topic ban. You have been warned I don't know how many times, this is your final warning.

Careful
Here, you called Grigorios Mantzaris a "nobody". This sort of rudeness does not help ill-feeling: Mr Mantzaris presumably did exist, was a revolutionary, died in 1912, etc. He may even meet notability criteria if print sources can be found. Or perhaps he doesn't meet notability criteria.

But either way, he's not a "nobody". This may be "unverifiable", though.

I expect you to apologize for your poor choice of words on the article's talk page. DS (talk) 11:27, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * It's me, Sulmues, editing unlogged and yes, you should apologize both to the Greek user, Alexikoua for that expression, and to DragonflySixteen. You should also thank DragonflySixteen for dropping to your talkpage. You probably hurried too much. Wikipedia is not our private space and we should be kind to one another and respect other people's opinion.
