Flag of Dardania

Hello. I have again redirected the article to Flag of Kosovo#Other proposals because there is already a detailed section with multiple references that describes this flag. We don't need a separate article for it since it is unofficial and rather non-notable, but you're welcome to improve the existing section with details.

Skanderbeg's Coat of Arms

Hey AceDouble. Thank you for you efforts in fixing up Skanderbeg's Coat of Arms. But I think the eagle should be black and the star white as per the reasons stated by User:Aigest. He provides good sources to show this and I think the appropriate changes should be made. So would you mind changing it? :) Regards, Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 03:00, 26 June 2011 (UTC).

Assistance is needed on a Topic

Albania is mistakenly listed as an Axis force instead of an Ally. As a knowledgeable person can you intervene? -- I created a talk topic under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Allies_of_World_War_II#Editors_Needed_On_Clarifying_the_Albanian_Case -- The facts are clearly there, but I cannot edit it and there need to be more people involved to convince a Editor which does not know the basics of WW2 in the Balkans. --

Editors Needed On Clarifying the Albanian Case[edit] Dear Editors, -- Please let me kindly invite you to investigate and clarify the status of Albania as an Allied force. Since there is an editor below who unilaterally refuse even considering the provided facts and historical sources, then I invite a quorum of other editors (preferable with knowledge on WW2 history and Balkans) to investigate the case. Best Regards LupinoJacky (talk) 14:44, 4 February 2015 (UTC) Albania was an Ally state, the book "Enciclopedia of World War II, Volume 1, Section "Treaties Ending the War", Page 824, ISBN-10: 0816060223, ISBN-13: 978-0816060221" acknowledges that Albania signed the peace treaties in the end of WW2 as an Allied country. Citing page 824: "The first peace treaty concluded between the Allies and a former Axis nation was with Italy. It was signed in Paris on February, 10, 1947, by representatives from Albania, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czechoslovakia, Ethipia, France, Great Britain, Greece, India, Iraq, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zeeland, Pakistan, Poland, Slovak Republic, South Africa, the Soviet Union, the United States, Yugoslavia, and Italy."

Unsourced maps on Cham Albanians and Chameria

Please refrain from creating and using unsourced content such as map, like how you have done here [1] and here [2] as this goes against Wikipedia's WP:OR, WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:NPOV rules. Your edits have been reverted by other editors, and your map has been removed from all language versions of Wikipedia. It is recommended that you take your time and familiarize yourself with the project's rules and especially WP:5P. Thank you. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ ^{(talk ✉ | contribs ✎)} 17:58, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi AceDouble! I inform you that the map you want removed was created by an Albanian editor as you can see here [[3]] as a product of discussion among various users here. I'm just saying this because you were asking some co-editors which side they support. Nevertheless you are always welcome to post your proposal in talk:Chameria.Alexikoua (talk) 19:37, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

@Alexikoua: the cropped modern version of chameria map which extends to Arta is still missing source, i've added Nikolla Lako's ethnographic map of Albania 1913 where chameria is mentioned see here: https://www.loc.gov/resource/g6831e.ct003472/, also i found a bunch of 1860s maps, do they get included in this case because they might be a good source: http://www.promacedonia.org/en/dr/dr_20-29_fr.htm#21. AceDouble (talk) 22:04, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

The specific map (both urls) doesn't show any Chameria extending to Arta. Are you sure the link is correct? Lako shows the maximum extent of Albaniansin Epirus (Chameria included, though Chameria is without borders). The Albanian speaking area doesn't even reach Preveza.Alexikoua (talk) 09:19, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Seat change calculations

Hello. I have explained how seat change calculations work at Talk:2019 Kosovan parliamentary election#Vetëvendosje seat change. You can see the same calculation method is used for the French and Spanish versions of the article. If you still have any queries about why we do the calculations like that, please join the discussion rather than continuing to change the figures in the article.

Also, casting aspersions on editors' knowledge of a subject based on where they live is poor form. Thanks, Number 57 16:11, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
