User talk:Sulmues/Archive 1

Is this multilingualism for real?
Hi. I noticed on your userpage that you claim to have level-5 professional ability in a lot of languages in addition to native shqip. Is that for real? I mean, how is that possible? Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 06:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It is possible. I have a degree in phylology and linguistics and I have started learning foreign languages since I was 5. And I can show you some people who know more than 30 languages. Or I can mention to you that Fan Noli, the biggest Albanian translator, founder of the Albanian Orthodox Church and former Prime Minister of Albania was perfectly fluent in 13 foreign languages. It is normal to encounter polyglots from small countries such as Albania: you'll find the same thing with some people from Georgia, Denmark, or the Netherlands. As a matter of fact, even Skanderbeg was known to be fluent in 6 languages, so that ain't that strange for Albanians, :-). sulmues (talk) --Sulmues 11:44, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Labove
Are you sure that Labove e Zappes is officially cald just Labove? What about Labova e Kryqit near Libochovo?Alexikoua (talk) 21:46, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * 100% sure. I know the area pretty well. Labova=Labova e Zhapes=Labova e Madhe (=Big Labova), whereas Labova e Kryqit is a smaller village, not very far. The pretty church that you can see at the pic, is at the Labova e Kryqit. sulmues (talk) --Sulmues 21:49, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Again :)
Hi Sulmues, thanks again for your help. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and I won't forget how you stood up for me.

It may surprise you to know, but I actually view this sanction as a positive development. It gives me the excuse to step away from editing to focus my time on conducting a thorough investigation into the issues you and I brought forward in the WP discussions. My goal is to file an official request with the Arbitration Committee in the medium-term future to review the disparities currently present in country article ledes. If you are interested, you and I can work on coming up with a proposal. I believe there would be a substantial number of editors willing to help out with this task as many people share our concerns. Would you be interested in such a venture? --Monshuai (talk) 04:28, 19 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know if it helped. I still disagree with your topic ban as I think it's unjust. There are a lot of editors who do edit-warring 10 times more than you and get away with it. The only thing you might have been accused of is your insistence in the talk pages. This is very unusual to require a topic ban and too harsh. While I overall respect Sandstein in this decision, I think he hasted too much, but he might want to reconsider in the future. I would gently request that you hold on for some days and prepare very well to start a project of revamping the ARBCOM. I strongly feel you will have my support there. sulmues (talk) --Sulmues 14:00, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Task force
Congratulations for your insistence. I gave up in September because I suffered for some time as you can see from contributions. However, it would have been better to ask for other people's support. Is there any other Albanian left in wiki besides you?Aigest (talk) 12:13, 19 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I started to heavily contribute in December because I realized there was nobody left and other people were messing up all the Albanian articles. It has been an incredible experience, but lots is left to be done. This message of yours in my talk page is the only support I have gotten from Albanian contributors in good standing so far and I warmly thank you for it. sulmues (talk) --Sulmues 13:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

There are some changes in Albanian Task force article you might check and comment Aigest (talk) 15:09, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I did. I am speechless. This is what I call working on a wikiproject. Thank you! --sulmues (talk) 15:17, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for adding me as a member on the wikiproject, though I think my contribution is very modest due to busy work. Piasoft (talk) 22:54, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree and I thank you for adding me too on Albanian wikiproject.--Alblefter (talk) 00:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Vasil Papakristo & Viktor Eftimiu
Since Bobostice belongs to Drenove [] municipality, he fits perfectly there. Vasileios is mentioned in Libohova since Labova e Kryqit belongs to this municipality. What do you thing?Alexikoua (talk) 16:45, 19 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I think that that's fine because we don't have a Boboshtice article yet. In addition you'll find many more famous people from Labova e Kryqit in the future, so for now we can keep Vasili in Libohova, until we have a Labova e Kryqit article and then we move him to Labova e Kryqit. Btw, I want your apologies in the thread above, so that we can properly start to collaborate. sulmues (talk) --Sulmues 16:48, 19 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I really appreciate your recent constructive initiatives.Alexikoua (talk) 22:10, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm trying to expand the article on Sali Butka and I was wondering if you have any additional sources. So if you do please help its expansion.--ObserverFromAbove (talk) 22:20, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think we're fine. No more sources are needed and I liked your edits. --sulmues (talk) 23:00, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I moved Aoos to Vjosë, since Vjosa is the predominantly used name in English. What do you think?--ObserverFromAbove (talk) 20:58, 2 March 2010 (UTC)


 * That was long overdue, Vjosë is for 90% in Albania, I don't see any reason why it should be in Aoos. Will say more in talk page. --sulmues (talk) 00:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I kindly ask you to calm down. Since you are on civility supervision you should better avoid such kind of aggressive editing [], which can be easily considered as wp:trolling.Alexikoua (talk) 14:50, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I am very calm, and I think that I have the same right to be doubious about something that you have. --sulmues (talk) 16:02, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Civility Parole
I see that you continue to consider trolling comments as 'advice' []. I will say it again this is not a battleground.Alexikoua (talk) 15:04, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * That was as much of a trolling comment as these ones that you liked to use at Vangjel Zhapa article . Don't use double standards. And I didn't consider that an "advice" but a "warning". --sulmues (talk) 15:07, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * In light of your recent trolling, I have reported you at WP:AE. Your disturbing habit of restoring trolling comments by other editors, whether it is Piasoft's trolling on Vjose, or Lceliku's TOV back then, has got to stop, one way or another.  Thank you.

Well first of all i am busy on Albanian Wikipedia making Eurovision Song Contest Full. I have made all songs/artist and now hosts. About the singers you sent I will.

Well done Sul! But I can't understand understand why you made these changes in Zarbalas, especially with his nationality changed (Greek->Albanian). Even according of MOS he became notable as ethnic Greek.Alexikoua (talk) 08:01, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

He was already notable when he was Albanian. He held no Greek nationality at that time. --sulmues (talk) 12:30, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

What I mean is that he was notable as representative of his ethnic community (MP of Omonoia&journalist of Laiko Vika). Something that Panajot Pano wasn't.Alexikoua (talk) 12:27, 26 March 2010 (UTC)


 * And I agree with you, that's why I left your edits be and the mentioning of his ethnicity in the opening paragraph. Good edits. I think this sentence "an Albanian poet and journalist of Greek ethnicity" is what should appear in the lead and shouldn't be changed. --sulmues (talk) 13:37, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Greater Albania controversy
Nice initiative about Qestorat. However, I see you are directly claiming that current Albania is stretching in modern Thesprotia and Molossia [] [], denying the current state borders and so personally promoting irrendetism concept of Greater Albania and reacting in a sarcastic way [] after you've been reverted. It would be interesting to hear a reason for this.Alexikoua (talk) 09:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll try to satisfy your thirst of knowledge. I am not claiming that current Albania is stretching in Thesprotia and Molossia. Those regions are in modern Greece. I think that the Albanian TF should cover all the Illyrian topics. Many Albanian historians (and non) claim that Molossians and Thesprotians were Illyrians. However I got reverted. It looks like the Greek editors tend to look at these theories as fringe. There are a couple of very good Albanian editors who might bring better sources than me, no sarcasm on my side. --sulmues talk contributions 03:23, 1 April 2010 (UTC)


 * My objection was about the present border, since you claimed that...they lived in today's Albania on both talkpages.Alexikoua (talk) 07:52, 1 April 2010 (UTC)


 * That was actually incorrect, my bad. Ancient history is not my forte. Corrected those edits.--sulmues talk contributions 09:38, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * You wouldn't want me to go and correct it Alexikoua. Consider yourself lucky you are dealing with some one so polite and easy-going as Sulmuesi. --24.37.248.124 (talk) 02:14, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again. I'm planning to put it forward for DYK. Drita can go as well as long as its text has expanded x5 in last 5 days - seems close. Have you any idea what the charge against hoxhi was and when he was arrested? Victuallers (talk) 16:03, 6 April 2010 (UTC)


 * The charges against Koto Hoxhi, Pandeli Sotiri, Papa Kristo Negovani, Petro Nini Luarasi have all been to have taught or to have said mess in Albanian language. Muslim Albanians were not allowed to write in Albanian during Ottoman Empire, whereas the Greek orthodox church operating in Albania at that time would prohibit the language to the Albanians of Christian Orthodox faith. And for what I just wrote I could be indicted by the Greek editors that I am using the English wikipedia as a battleground, even though there are plenty of sources on this. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, such as Jacques, they are all in Albanian. An investigation is still ongoing for my behavior in Wikipedia see here--sulmues talk contributions 16:11, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: FkpCascais
No problem. Thank you! I just want you to know that all my work here goes pretty much around an effort in making the football from our region better presented to the "world". Despite being a Serb, and loving my country, I do have a particular view on the Serbian-Albanian relations. Also, despite all the political situation, I find that football (well, sports in general) shouldn´t be linked with them. An enormous number of articles and players related to Kosovar Albanians from the pre-1999 are still not donne, so I will try also, in the meanwhile, to contribute there as well. Anyway, I send you regards and thank you for your kind words again. You can count on my help if in any time is needed. FkpCascais (talk) 16:58, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You know, I asked Kedadi a long time ago if he could recomend me somebody to help me with Albanian/Kosovar Albanian football related articles... well, now I know. We are similar on this, we both edit football related articles, but also historical, political, etc, but it is not that strange. What would really be strange is to find someone from our region that doesn´t like football,history&politics (lol). anyway, I agree completely with you that Balkan and Balkans Cup should be better represented, but I am not sure I would be able to help much since I don´t have much material about it... Regarding the idea of reviving such tournaments, I don´t know if you know, but specially in Serbia and Croatia, the issue of reviving a "common league" (ex-Yugoslavia and Albanian could also join) has been very active this winter, but neither I, neither the general public in Serbia have decided yet what would be better. On one side, it would be great to have a bigger and stronger league, that would have all the best clubs from the region included, but on the other hend, it would possibly be disastrous for the medium and smaller size football centers, that would be left in some secundary leagues... About Božidar Sandić (is it Sandić, or maybe Sanđić?) I couln´t find anything about him... Who was he, where he played? I am also remembering now another incident I was involved regarding Albanian football. I had been edit-warring about one player in the List of foreign football players in Albanian Superliga. The case was around a Diminican player Elpys Josè Espinal. MatthewHK removed him from the list, and I revrted him, since many sources say he played in Dinamo Tirana 2003-04. He insisted and I didn´t wanted to continue, do you know something about it? FkpCascais (talk) 23:04, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Ardian (Albanian name)
Hi Sulmues. I can see you come from the linguistics and philology background.I had a major in History as a part of my BA degree, but I have always been interested in linguistics personally and tried to study two fields simultaneously.So, I am glad to have met you. I have been particularly interested in Albanian names as I am an Albanian myself. My son's name is Ardian. One day a good friend of mine sent me an email telling me to look up an article about this name on Wikipedia that he wrote but somone changed it making the name look degraded.This person that my friend had a very heated debate with (see the 'Discussion: Ardian' for details) continuously kept denying any source showing the connection between the popular Albanian name of Ardian and the name of the Illyrian tribe of Ardiaei. Indeed in his discussions he denied the Albanians any right to Illyrian cultural heritage, often contradicting sources he provided himslef. I remember that among other things he wrote that Ardian is a communist name. Later on he insisted that Ardian is nothing but a deviated version of Adrian.When my friend provided a good source on the internet, a scanned page of a book on Albanian names listing the name Ardian, this countering person said that the source was invalid because it was written ina totallitarian regime (meaning the communist-time Albania). Can you imagine that? Luckily, they both finaly settled on some neutral version of the article, the one that you can see at Wikipedia right now, except that I made some grammatical changes in the sentence, in order to make the English language slightly more approrpiate.I couldn't find any source in the English language showing that Ardian comes from Ardiaei, or more precisely from the Albanian word for Ardiaei, Ardianet (although I know it does, for that's how I named my own child). However,at the Discussion:Ardian (Albanian name) I found that a lady offered a good source in Albanian and she even translated it into English, which I believe is acceptable in the absence of an English source. The source is the recently published book entitled 'FJALOR EMRASH', written by Vladimir Zoto, published by Dasara. On page 42 the author says: "Ardian-Emër mashkullor që vjen nga emri përgjithësues ardianët, ose ardiejtë.Këta ishin një fis ilir, banorë të krahinës Ardia në Dalmati që përmenden që në shekullin e katërt para erës së re.Kryeqendra e tyre ishte fillimisht Risiniumi e më pas Shkodra.Ardiana është forma femërore më e përdorur e emrit.Ardi,Ardia përdoren si forma të shkurtuara….”Translation: “Ardian-A masculine name that stems from a proper name of Ardianet, or Ardijejt. The latter were an Illyrian tribe and the inhabitants of the region of Ardia in Dalmatia, mentioned in 4th cetruy B.C. Their initial capital city was Risinium, and later on Shkodra. Ardiana is a femnine form of this name. Abreviated forms like Ardi and Ardia are in use too…”.(I copied this from her paragraph at Discussion: Ardian (Albanian name)). I found it on several internet sites, e.g.:http://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=166. So, my question is, can this source, the page from the abovementioned book of Vladimir Zoto mentioned above be used as a source where citation is needed in that article? If so, does one have to provide the entire paragraph from the book along with the translation and where do you put it,in the footnote or elswhere? I am not really a Wiki expert.Thanks.--Besajone (talk) 08:00, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Dhimiter vs. Demetrious
Actually the only English language mention of him on the web uses Demetrious Sinaiti, "Orthodox Autoc. Church of Alb". I found no use of Dhimitër Sinaiti in English except that Wikipedia article and mirrors. Since the language of the church is Greek, and his church name is Δημήτριος (Demetrios of Sinai),ref: "Συμφωνία για Πρωτόκολλο Συνεργασίας των Πανεπιστημίων Ιωαννίνων" and "Μητροπολίτης Αργυροκάστρου ο Δημήτριος", it seems more appropriate than the translation into Albanian. He is called "of Sinai", since that is the diocese from which he came in 1991 when he went to Gjirokastër. Μάλιστα η συζήτηση επεκτάθηκε και ο Επίσκοπος, απαντώντας σε σχετικές ερωτήσεις, έδωσε απαντήσεις σε θέματα που αφορούν στη Μονή Σινά, από την οποία προέρχεται και όπου ανήκε πριν εκλεγεί Μητροπολίτης Αργυροκάστρου. ref: "Συμφωνία για Πρωτόκολλο Συνεργασίας των Πανεπιστημίων Ιωαννίνων". Use Google translate for a close approximation. Does that provide adequate basis for the use of "Demetrious" or "Demtrios" under Biographies of living persons? --Bejnar (talk) 19:13, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sulmeus, see here. This is where articles are listed. As you see Drita is in the queue, but so far no one has approved/disapproved it. The rules for DYKs are shown on the page. The hook for Koto is shown on Koto's talk page. Hope that helps? A pic might help, but it would have to a very old one as "fair use" pics are not allowed. You could also think up an alternative hook, but it must! have a clear in-line ref in the article. Hope you like the pic etc that I added. Say! don't you speak French? Could you pass an eye over Louis Didier Jousselin and Charles Combes? Victuallers (talk) 19:01, 13 April 2010 (UTC) It may be a blog now, but it wasnt.

Ju duhet të më kuptoni se jemi i vetmi vend në botë që ka dekoruar një njeri që ska bërë asgjë për të qënë hero i popullit por përkundrazi ka qënë tiran dhe dikattor (ashtu siç shkruhet në tekstet e historisë së Shqipërisë. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Irvi_Hyka —Preceding unsigned comment added by Irvi Hyka (talk • contribs) 15:17, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

 * You seem to have plenty of time to launch into interminable diatribes against me and touch them up continuously.  Your refusal speaks volumes.  Athenean (talk) 17:57, 29 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not refusing, I'm just asking you how my contributions in another project will help this project. --SulmuesLet's talk 17:58, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Your "contributions" on that project apparently consist of attempting to disrupt this project, namely by recruiting others to your battles on the English wikipedia. Come on, we both know what's going on here. And this, only a week after you were warned to cease and desist from WP:BATTLE behavior. That is the epitome of bad-faith. Athenean (talk) 18:25, 29 April 2010 (UTC)


 * That project is very inactive and to me worthless. It's a translation of foreign topics and OR of Albanian topics. No citations are used and honestly I don't know what is the value of an article without proper sources. That's why I am not very eager to join that project fully: it's too much work and I lack a lot of Albanian books to help in those articles. When I entered that project I was unaware of those issues, however the reason to join that project wasn't sure recruiting people. You need to understand that a user's behavior is not considered accross all wiki projects.


 * And please do not mention bad faith as I could make too many accusations to you on that. I think you need to stop accusing improperly Albanian editors. I think you did an excellent job on reporting Jagged85 and I endorsed you on that. However, you have to understand that seeing the Albanian as the ennemy and trying to kick them out without properly collaborating with them is really annoying.


 * Take for example what you did with me. I had no clue who you were until I was reported by you in Moreschi's page and got a block for Kosovo. That wasn't nice at all because I had obtained consensus to have the single infobox. It was a 10-2 consensus and a very good one. I think Moreschi hurried too much because he just had faith in your report, without evaluating the situation properly. You also have reported many Albanian contributors as socks only on the patterns of their edits, and have pushed to have them blocked as socks when those people could have been innocent.


 * You have a great knowledge of the Balkan areas, but are using it often times improperly and with too much bias. Creating a climate of understanding between Albanian editors and Greek editors includes that you hold off from continuously reporting Albanian editors. Both Albanians and Greeks do not come out very well from these clashes. --SulmuesLet's talk 18:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Were you or were you not attempting to recruit people on the Albanian wikipedia to your cause here? Your above nice words notwithstanding, it's very hard to assume good faith when you do something like that, barely a week after you were explicitly warned not to engage in such behavior.  What would you do in my place, honestly now?  Athenean (talk) 19:07, 29 April 2010 (UTC)


 * When you became afraid that I would report you for your battleground attitude after I discovered what you had been up to in the Albanian wiki, you were all about "let's cooperate" and "let's not see each other as the enemy". Yet, here you are doing precisely the opposite .  How hypocritical.  Athenean (talk) 19:12, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

That's your speculation and Sandstein clearly told you that what I do in other projects in none of your business. If I were in your place, I would

1. Prepare the Greek side along with Alexikoua, possibly Cplakidas, and Ptolion and give solid contributions to an Albanian-Greek common pannel.

2. Endorse FPS's proposal of a team 3RR or 1RR rule.

3. Give myself an objective of NOT REPORTING any Albanian contributor for the next three months.

This is the only way you'll have any credibility in my eyes. --SulmuesLet's talk 19:30, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Re Brkic
Hehe... that´s cool, I mean, even more if we think on the "special" relationship between "us"... I really hope this can further help to make people understand that we are neighbours and we really should work together. If we look better, if we cooperate we would eventually make life worste to all mafiosi people, gun and other stuff smugglers, corrupt politicians... They are the only ones winning while making us beleave that we are enemies. While they were profiting turning us against one another, normal people just lost their money, their nerves, lost..., well, some even everything. We should cooperate more, even if just to make those evil people lifes worste... hehe.

Listen, I remembered you the other day. I was looking to some Albanian football forums and I finded out that your wikiname "Sulmues" means something like "Striker", right? I may not understand nothing of Albanian, but following some logic I came to this conclusion. Am I right? Sulmues means striker?

Another thing. I was disapointed with you! You told me to see information about some Yugoslav, you said international, player named Božidar Sandić... well, I lost time looking around and I found 0 (meaning ZERO) info about him. All international players (even if had played 1 minute) are listed at the reprezentacija.rs website. There is no mentioning about him anywhere... There are even some books about football in Yugoslavia from before the WWII, and also, nothing...

Regarding the Brkic page, you don´t need to have the Apolonia repeated in the infobox. It already says that he is Apolonia player in the years, 2008-, and the loans, like this one in his case to Dinamo Tirana, have nothing to do with it, you can/should continue adding stats and goals for Apolonia, at the Apolonia place. I´m not sure if I said this right, but resumingly, you can eliminate the 2nd Apolonia, since the Dinamo Tirana was only a loan...

Anyway, what´s your club from Albania? I have a friend, since he is from Shkodra, he is a Vlaznia crazy lunatic... :) . My club is FK Partizan, and our worste defeat ever was against Flamurtari in UEFA Cup... It was really bad... Hehe, but maybe it was good, so Albanian clubs should stop being so underestimate! You know, I live in Portugal, and here happend the same in the national team matches against Albania... I knew it was going to be hard, and I just loved watching the C.Ronaldo´s, Deco´s, Simão and co. suffering a lot in Tirana... They touth that it will be easy and they almost lost! I must confess you that I even started cheering for you, as it would have been a great lesson of football. If I remember well, it ended with a suffering 1-0 for Portugal.

Now this is interesting. Constantine who awakes from the dead, :-). I have seen your contributions and I thank you for them. However since you are banned and I guess you might feel like you were banned unjustly, you may still have a second chance in Wikipedia. Please file a good appeal and you'll be readmitted. I don't think that avoiding your ban, the way you are doing through this posting in my talkpage will help your appeal. Just address an admin and he/she will tell you how to be readmitted. IMO the Albanians should stop playing the victims and write about Albania topics the way users like user:Dori, user:Aigest, user:Balkanian`s word, user:ZjarriRrethues do. There is no other way out.

 * On a related note. I went through your edits and saw that you were banned seemingly for having used fringe theories to support your edits. In addition other nicks were blocked/banned because they were tagged as your socks (see here). If you were behind those edits, you understand what damage you bring to the image of the Albanian wikipedians. If other people were behind those edits, again it's a disservice that you bring to Albanian wikipedians because they are labeled like you. I think that every Albanian wikipedian has a heavy burden and responsibility of bringing the truth through reliable sources. I think that you have to promise user:Future Perfect at Sunrise that you won't use fringe theories, i.e. sources that are not reliable, and I believe that something might be done. The Albanian-Greek board is there for that purpose: we agree upon a source and then we use it in the article. Fjalet e teperta jane fukarallek. --SulmuesLet's talk 21:16, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Burimet do i diskutojme ne bordin greko-shqiptar e pastaj do i perdorim. Keshtu do funksionoje. Tani artikujt per mesjeten shqiptare jane per faqe te zeze, per te mos folur per shekujt XIX e XX. Rilindja Kombetare duhet rishkruar nga e para. Me pak fjale, nuk ia vlen te perjashtohesh per pellazget. Edhe une "luftova" e c'fitova? Per pak u perjashtova per wp:battleground. E pas meje jam i sigurt qe do "dilnin" si kerpudha "socks"-at e mi, njerez qe magar s'kishin fare te benin me mua.

Ne dhjetor 2009 kishim 900 artikuj, tani ne maj 2010 kemi 2700 artikuj. Une dua te kemi 5-6 mije artikuj brenda 2-3 vjetesh qe te jemi te krahasueshem me, te themi, kroatet. Greket kane 21 mije artikuj tani per tani. Ne kemi per te "tag" Albania TF shume artikuj te Malesise, Camerise, dhe pjeses shqiptare te Maqedonise, pasi per kete pati konsensus ne Albania TF talk page, besoj. Detyra jone eshte te behemi projekt serioz ku te kete 12-13 active wikipedian e te pakten 5-6 prej tyre te jene te besueshem. Ne duhet te kemi nje administrator shqiptar ne Wikipedia sic ishte dikur user:Dori, po nuk behesh dot administrator nese ke "blocks". Cdo "lufte" vret vetem luftetarin dhe ate qe perjashtohet, ashtu si dhe projektin qe perfaqeson. Keshtu funksionon ne projektin anglisht. Te lutem shih burimet e user:Aigest ketu dhe rikonsidero. Projekti eshte i rendesishem per kombin tone dhe duhet te sillemi ashtu si e kerkon puna: cdo perjashtim eshte ne demin tone personal dhe te paraqitjes se shqiptareve ne Wikipedia.

Edhe nje here po them rikonsidero sjellen tende dhe sill nje apel te besueshem. Shkruaj dicka te sinqerte dhe kthehu mbrapsht. Do desha te kthehesh edhe Taulant23 dhe ata te tjeret qe jane perjashtuar nga raportet e user:Athenean. Ne kemi diferenca me greket po kemi edhe gjera qe na bashkojne. Nuk dua te behemi gazi i Wikipedias me grindjet tona, pasi me shume humbim ne se greket. Ne duhet te shohim shtepine tone e te permiresojme artikujt tone. Pastaj te shohim cfare burimesh mund te perdorim qe te shkruajme per autoktonine e shqiptareve ne Ballkan, pasi greket tani per tani na e mohojne. Po per kete duhen njerez me dashuri per atdheun, po edhe me ftohtesi gjykimi e pragmatizem. --SulmuesLet's talk 13:51, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

How nice of you
So you looked at my contribs, saw what I wrote on Cat and the Owl's talkpage, and RAN to Stifle to try and get him punished. How slimy. With one face you say you want to "collaborate" and with the other you run to the admins to try and get those oh-so-hated Greek users blocked. Did you try to talk to Cat and the Owl first? Of course not. Such behavior disgusts me, it's called backstabbing in English. I am done with you, and I am withdrawing from your stupid "collaboration" board, which, considering your recent behavior, has become completely meaningless. Goodbye, and stay off my talkpage.

Hello. I have been away for many months now. Saw your message in my talk page first now. I still believe and Wikipedia says also that World Christian Encyclopedia is biased. World Muslim Encyclopedia (is such thing exists) would also be biased. They both have interest in increasing the number of followers of their religion.

The glee with which you are going around "stroking" crazymartini's edits is disturbing. It's like you're getting off on it. They guy has an unblock request pending, so I would slow down if I were you. If he is unblocked, I would expect you to undo yourself. Athenean (talk) 19:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Check again, they just asked him to post the unblock request on his first account. But let me ask this, why are you so maniacally insistent on removing each and every little thing he ever wrote with such alacrity?  Why do you hate the guy so much?  It's like, you can't contain yourself with joy at the opportunity of pouncing on a Greek editor who was banned.  Athenean (talk) 21:17, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually what's disturbing is your obsession with my feelings. --SulmuesLet's talk 21:19, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Your behavior show a clear battleground mentality. You are acting as if it's Greeks vs. Albanians, with the Albanians having scored a major victory.  So you are running around in a rather childish manner, trumpeting at every opportunity "Look!  A Greek user was banned!  I am removing every single thing he ever wrote!  Because he was banned!".  Ultimately, whether you chose to embarass yourself in this manner is your choice, however, the day may come where your behavior may count against you.  Athenean (talk) 22:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Let's wait and see, :-). And relating to the battleground mentality: That's just not me. And honestly I already told you: the Greek side has many good contributors, you don't need these people. They put a bad name on Greek contributions on wikipedia, I'm doing you a favor. You have Cplakidas and Alexikoua who make articles and a good watchdog like you, but CrazyMartini would just be a voter on the Greek side to spite Albanians, there isn't much to expect from him, actually he'll bring just damage. I really think we should be selective on both sides. --SulmuesLet's talk 22:07, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't see how you can say that, when he has already been quite constructive (created something like 3 articles). He got off to a bad start, true, but what is important is that he has shown improvement.  I think with some mentoring by the editors you mention, he can contribute valuably to this project.  You made some pretty big mistakes too originally, but you were given many second chances and since then you have improved.  Wikipedia is all about second chances.  I really don't understand why you are so dead-set against giving this user a second chance, and ask you to reconsider. Athenean (talk) 22:18, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Let's give him the opportunity to become a member of this project. If he is really disruptive he will receive his block. But we should give him equal opportunities, like all of us.Alexikoua (talk) 22:56, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

As I see you moved "Kakavia" to "Kakavijë (border crossing)" [], with the excuse that this article is about the border crossing, however you never explained why Kakavia became Kakavije. After years of experience you should know that such moves should be performed as result of consensus.Alexikoua (talk) 09:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Moved the border crossing because: 1) it was incorrectly spelt. 2) Needed space for the Albanian village 3) The border crossing takes the name of the village and you first create the village that gives the name to the border crossing, then you create the border crossing article. --SulmuesLet's talk 09:57, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Why you didn't mention argument 3? By the way it's a very weird argument.Alexikoua (talk) 10:07, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I actually did, when I made the move. You'll just create confusion with two different names: The border crossing will have a different name in the English Wikipedia from the village that gives it the name. --SulmuesLet's talk 10:14, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it seems you didn't [[[]]]. Since talking about confusion, it's more reasonable to rename this tiny village to Kakavia (it's also a 'minoritare' village) in order to secure consistency than to pretend that we should rename a border crossing in a less popular name form.Alexikoua (talk) 14:35, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
