Kosovo 2015 games edit

Thanks for this correction. I totally discarded the year 2015 and assumed the event to somehow be in the future still. --OJ (talk) 14:56, 14 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your edit OJ! No one had noticed article needed update expect of you. I try to edit as much as I can during my limited free time and because of this sometimes I make mistakes. That is why Wikipedia needs as many editors as possible, to help and assist each other. Best regards! Ktrimi991 (talk) 17:44, 14 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Sources edit

The source is called "Collective (1965). Greek Sources about Bulgarian History (GIBI), volume VI, Sofia, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Press". It is the 6th volume of a book series of Byzantine sources related to the history of Bulgaria compiled with translation and comments by a collective of leading historians. Promacedonia is a hosting site that contains among others scanned books, not some random nonsense written by bloggers or amateur "historians". Anyway, the easiest thing for me is not to point link to the book; it is convenient for the readers but all the same for me. I will include the source cited properly now. --Gligan (talk) 20:14, 21 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Gligan It is OK now. The reference must have a quote in English because the book in written in Bulgarian. Promacedonia is a blog where books are posted but in the end it is still a blog and we must respect WP:Reliable. Best regards! Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:00, 21 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
I am glad that we understood each other. You are correct that a non-Bulgarian reader would not understand the source in the way I had cited it initially. Best regards, --Gligan (talk) 16:16, 22 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Pogled edit

After initially reverting you, I have tried to rewrite the passage of Pogled (mountain). I'm happy for you to make changes to what I have done if you feel they reflect neutrality. Sadly, the location of this peak is tricky to say the least. I'll keep working on it. Notice I have used both Republic of Kosovo and Serbia's undisputed territory at the same time and I hope this looks fair to both sides. --OJ (talk) 18:17, 20 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Congress of Elbasan edit

Hi. Thanks for creating the page. Please try to add content, since the article is far more important than what it shows as of now. I would strongly suggest you to finish the article.
--Mondiad (talk)

Mondiad I am writing stuff for article in a Word document. I am writing stuff for Congress of Manastir at once because the first is a consequence of the later and both are very linked with each other. There is plenty of material in Google Books and article will be in its final shape soon. Regards, Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:02, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dalip Frashëri edit

Hi. Can you help in this article?
I added some verses in today's alphabet, but there are oriental/turkish words, "teqmil", etc., not sure how to translate them since the source transliterates them in Albanian.

We are missing one line. There are 6 in Albanian.--Mondiad (talk) 21:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Mondiad I added it. Most of the difficult/oriental words are Persian, others Arabic. Fifty-eight is year 1258 in the Islamic calendar. It is just like saying ninety-eight instead of 1998. Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:19, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi Vargmali. Thanks for creating the article. Everyone needs other editors to help with some copy editing or additional stuff when does such a huge work. By the way I did not notice it was a file name. I changed it back to previous form. Cheers. Ktrimi991 (talk) 16:21, 31 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Accusation for off wiki violence edit

Hi,

I noticed you again violated wikipedia rules and misused article talkpage to write comment about me and my conduct with this diff. Will you please be so kind not to continue with this kind of behavior aimed against me?

In the above mentioned comment you accused me for off wiki violence without presenting any evidence. If that is really true I sincerely apologize for my behavior, but I do not recall I have ever been involved in any off wiki violence. Will you please be so kind to present evidence for your accusation?

Your edit summary edit

Actually the specific edit [[1]] isn't a partial rv but you are entirely accepting my version. Thank you, though you need to avoid wrong and aggressive edit summaries.Alexikoua (talk) 16:45, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Alexikoua: You deleted that part about figures in 1946. Hence, it was a partial rv. Even this message of yours here is rather trolling. Even a message of yours some weeks ago about my supposed use of Albanian in communication with other editors was trolling. I asked you to tell me where I used Albanian you did not respond. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 17:03, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Actually you just added a brand new source. Thus saying that the existing inline citation was claiming that 60% was illiterate was OR. However, it is really kind of you and I appreciate that you added a second source and thus correcting the OR issue & adding additional content.Alexikoua (talk) 17:36, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Alexikoua: I did not add any source. The "new source" was in the end of the sentence you modified. I copied and pasted it nearer to the 60% figure so you could see it and stop supposing about "source falsification". Ktrimi991 (talk) 17:41, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Alexikoua: In the link you provided I did not place any reference. What is the point of all of this? Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:35, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Alexikoua: Nah, I rv a banned sock and their vague edit. I did not "falsify" the "inline reference", just rv back to the stable version. You originally said in this discussion that I gave you right, then that I added a new reference, then that I placed the reference in the wrong place, then that I falsified the reference. Make your mind. What is the point of this discusion? lol Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:56, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Reverts edit

What do mean these reverts? First VisualEditor, second WikiBot? How this wiki can be edited without such fault? I mean source editor default.

I reverted you because you added an extraordinary amount of content, and to do that you need to place an explanation on the talk page of the article. WikiBot is a virtual tool, and reverts editors based on some certain characteristics. Maybe you problem with WikiBot would be solved by creating an account. Do you have sources for your edit? Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:29, 24 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it is here: File:Alban-greek-alpha.jpg, and here.
OK. People who edit with IPs and face problems with bots are encouraged to create an account. I placed a message on your talk page on some benefits of having an account. Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:33, 24 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Extraordinary amount of text was simply CTRL C CTRL V of whole article into section by mistake. Sorry.

@Khirurg: Of course I will not email you. Your situation is delicate and I do not want to get involved in it too much due to a lack of experience in such cases. It should be handled by admins. I found the evidence late June, and need to make sure I know the procedures and my privacy is ensured.

Some pages in it still need creation as they currently point to subsections on Albanian language. But if that is acceptable for the time being -- yes, I believe so. Was interested in your thoughts on it, if you have any. --Calthinus (talk) 23:06, 26 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Calthinus: The template is of immense value for our coverage of Albanian language and culture. The lack of some articles instead of damaging the template, makes it more important. Those articles need to be created and enriched gradually. I think I will create them soon, time permitting. Ktrimi991 (talk) 23:26, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Oh--awesome. If you ever need any help, I do have Vladimir Orel's work on Proto-Albanian as a PDF :). And I can clear up most anything in linguistics that might confuse you. --Calthinus (talk) 23:29, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Great. I think I can write them as drafts, you can make the needed improvements and then we can publish them as articles. Yes, Orel would help me because I do not have enough information on Proto-Albanian and its connections with ancient languages of the region. Ktrimi991 (talk) 23:35, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
I'll send it to you. Orel doesn't talk quite so much about the relationship of Proto-Albanian with Illyrian/Thracian/Dacian, but a lot about its relationship with Latin, and some about other interactions such as Greek. He covers a lot about its linguistic properties, like phonology and grammar. I have a subpage where I've written some stuff about this -- though its messy like most of my subpages are haha. Aigest might also be interested if we wanna collab to make Proto-Albanian more than a stub. --Calthinus (talk) 23:37, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

A four sentences paragraph about Chams seems ok. Have you any ideas how to make it? I believe that it should became something like that: 1st "Italian policy promised that Chameria would be part of Great Albania after the end of the war. ..." , last one (the existing sentence about resistance in EAM) and somewhere in the middle also this "In the beginning, at least, collaboration was not a one-shot choice; Muslim communities followed different politics as per circumstances, alternating between collaboration, neutrality and, more seldom, resistance. Albanian and Greek communities changed sides by allying with the stronger available patron and shifting their allegiances when a more suitable one appeared.".Alexikoua (talk) 10:17, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I agree. I think that in particular the expulsion, its reasons (collab. by a part of the community, Greek nationalist policies etc) and the activities of Dino and other collab. in Albanian territory should not be mentioned as they are rather off-topic. The content that should be removed should go to other articles and links to those articles can be placed on the Italian zone sub-section or on the See also section. Ktrimi991 (talk) 13:54, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Reading the article, IMO the entire content on numbers of people killed should go to the Liberation and aftermath section. Such figures are given on both the German zone and the Liberation and aftermath section. Ktrimi991 (talk) 14:33, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
The Muslim minority does not need any trimming. On the Vlach minority, what sentences do you suggest to keep? Ktrimi991 (talk) 14:35, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Italian policy promised that Chameria would be part of Albania after the end of the war. Large parts of the Cham Albanian community actively collaborated with the local Axis occupation. In the beginning, at least, collaboration was not a one-shot choice; Muslim communities followed different politics as per circumstances, alternating between collaboration, neutrality and, more seldom, resistance. Albanian and Greek communities changed sides by allying with the stronger available patron and shifting their allegiances when a more suitable one appeared. The events were part of a cycle of blood revenge between local communities over issues related to land ownership, state policies, sectarian hostilities, personal vendettas and the need to take a side in a chaotic situation, which only became nationalized during the war. An Albanian High Commissioner, Xhemil Dino, was appointed by the Italians, but his authority was limited, and for the duration of the Occupation, the area remained under direct control from the military authorities in Athens. Smaller numbers of the Cham Albanians became part of a mixed EAM battalion at the end of the war, without having opportunity to give any significant contribution against the Germans. IMO this has six sentences but is very balanced and is a good summary of the situation. If readers wish more info, they can visit links that should be provided in the beginning of the sub-section or on the See also section. If we agree on this, in the same way should the case of the Vlach community be treated . Ktrimi991 (talk) 15:31, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

You have my apology edit

I was convinced you were not in Wikipedia to make useful contributions to the project without resorting to WP:POV-ridden edits, and I had made bad assumptions about your motives, and I admit, I was on the venge of filling an AE report against you these days for your biased edits on ARBMAC-protected articles, due to what I have perceived that you are trying to defend the Chams for their Nazi crimes in Greece and an attempt to re-write WWII's history. However, after re-reading your Talk page comments, followed by a further inspection of your edit history and contribution log, such as this, [5] made me realize I was wrong about you and that you were not a WP:BADFAITH or troll editor and certainly not as incompetent as our recent heated discussion had led me to believe in you being. I am sincerely sorry. Still we may have vastly different opinions on WWII's events, and we may have yet to reach a consensus on the respective article's talk page, but we will have to find, for the sake of Wikipedia project, an way to communicate with each other better. --👧🏻 SilentResident 👧🏻 (talk ✉️ | contribs 📝) 17:48, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi SilentResident No problem. Balkan articles are difficult, and every human being makes mistakes. It is part of our nature as human beings to lose patience. Although I tend to report editors I feel are making mistakes, I had no intention to report you. I understood why you are sensitive to this content dispute and decided to assume sincere good faith. Many people have negative experiences, and helping them overcome those experiences is a very constructive thing. Reflecting and accepting the mistakes made by all sides of a war helps people to respect the memory of those who suffered. Wikipedia is an attractive platform because people of different backgrounds with different points of view are able to interact and know each other better. Wikipedia is a way to escape daily politics and all its nationalistic narratives. I try to do my best while editing, and try to understand those who think differently. All nations of the Balkans are victims of nationalism that goes against the nature of human beings. Accepting and understanding each other helps us be better and happier people. Of course we can solve the said content dispute, it is not difficult, and a framework for its solution has already been prepared. Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:14, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

That feeling when edit

You open up a source and it really does look scholarly but then you read further and it says... this... " According to recent historical data published by the Albanian historian Jusuf Buxhovi “Kosova “, volumes I - V, Prishtina, 2012 and by Orhan Rexhepi, 2012, “Pelasgian - Dardans from Atlantis to the Moon, Troy, Rome and the Albanians” with 458 pages, it is evid ent that from the antiquities to nowadays Albanians belong to one single tree, to one DNA; they are a people who has lived – at times free, and at times under occupation, in this corner of the globe, which is one of the most attractive places on Earth." ... sigh. Now it's the moon too I guess... What's next, Egypt?--Calthinus (talk) 18:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Calthinus: Exactly, Egypt! Read this book. If after reading it you feel confused, try this. Shhtttt. This is top secret universal knowledge. Do NOT tell anyone about this!

Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:27, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Goddammit I can't believe it hahahahahaha. I suppose the Aztecs were part of the ancient Illyro-Dardano-Pelasgian Empire as well, after all burrito means "little man", right, and the Mayans too - after all Guatemala is from "ku ate mali", where the father mountain is, no other explanation. The evil Serbo-Greco-Turco-Italian conspiracy to hide the truth about how Albanians invented civilization and discovered both America and the moon cannot last much longer it seems, the truth is clear.--Calthinus (talk) 19:49, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Calthinus: Yes, "maya" comes from "maja buke". They used a lot of "maja buke" to make bread. The architects of the Illyrian pyramids of Bosnia (it is derived from "bozë", people there drink a lot of it) were transported to Latin America by Maat (whose headquarters were in Mat). To show how grateful they were to their ancestors who taught them some dark secrets of the world, the architects built some pyramids. During their return to Disneyland, they lost one of their nuclear bombs in Bermuda. Since then that area is dangerous. Should not we create an article for all of these? Perhaps an article about the book titled “Pelasgian-Dardans from Atlantis to the Moon, Troy, Rome and the Albanians”? Hahaha! Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:38, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps the page should be titled The civilizing of role of the Alblantean people and those ungrateful haters who plagiarized them. When we're done with that perhaps we should handle how Georgia and Azerbaijan were part of Ancient Serbia [[6]], not to mention clearly Serbian placenames on Sumatra :).

@Calthinus: Me shishen e rakisë në gji, botën ne sundojmë tani :-) Good idea regarding the article's name. Serbia is an old civilization, though not as old as Atlantis. The roots of the word "Serbia" can be found in "Sumer". Some Serbs of the Sumerian period went to Latin America. Since they were from Kolubara, they named the land they visited Colombia. By the way, your explanation of "burrito" is not entirely accurate. Instead of "little man", in Albanian it could mean "man with some serious issues" :-) Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:56, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Dude this historical falsification is unacceptable. How dare you claim Sumerians were Serbs. They were clearly 100% MAGYAR SCYTH HUNGARIANS [[7]] !!!!!!!!!

@Calthinus: Hahaha! It seems strange theories are not found only in the Balkans! Hungary has its own! I think I have edited the wrong stuff till now on Wikipedia.

Once we are done with the page and expanding Origin hypotheses of the Serbs, Origin hypotheses of the Hungarians, perhaps a nice joy ride probably leading to AE would be to make Origin hypotheses of Donald Trump, including the mainstream "Drumpf" hypothesis or the alternative [that he was adopted as a Pashtun orphan in Pakistan]. --Calthinus (talk) 22:49, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Zalongo dance edit

Hi. I saw your edits on Dance of Zalongo. The article contains both the Albanian and Greek version of the song. IMO there is no need for changes there. Ktrimi991 (talk) 23:03, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello

after the english initial translation ("Zalongo dance") I have added the albanian term, after the greek one.

The user "Dr.K" deletes systematically the albanian term, in order to rpesent the event as "only greek" Why? This is nationalism! I agree that there is "no need for changes". Dr.K. makes changes, I restore the elementary IMPARTIALITY greetings Prof. Dimitri Dimoulis

Zalongo edit

Dear 991 the thing is unimportant, I agree. The important is how Dr.K in this page and in many others tried to delete content ("purification"???). After the title he don't accepts the albanian version of the words and he lets only the greek one. Wikipedia should not be partial or instrument of nationalists. This is my last contribution in this issue. many thanks dimitri

I have responded on your talk page. The issue is now solved. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 15:41, 13 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Help Moving of the Serbian Industry edit

Hi,

I noticed your edits at Moving of the Serbian Industry, a page which I recently created. Having in mind that it is not an isolated event I will ask you directly: Are you following me around?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:47, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Antidiskriminator: Why do you think I am following you around? Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:50, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I explained why. Here is a link which also confirms what I wrote. Please do not follow me around to repeatedly confront me or inhibit my work. All the best.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:58, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Antidiskriminator: Look, you have made similar comments about many editors. Either take your conserns to ANI or stop posting nonsense on my talk page. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:14, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Actually, Ktrimi991 is almost certainly following me around, not you Antid. It is certainly because he is a rabid Serbian nationalist who believes that the word "Serb" comes from "Sumer". Given that you yourself are a person who has moved beyond such backwards concepts as nationalism and has contributed great works demonstrating the bs of nationalism like Nationalization of history you should really not lower yourself to the level of this irrelevant Serbian nationalist gnat-- pay him no heed. --Calthinus (talk) 22:35, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Antidiskriminator: What you said there is bullshit. As I have said, the issue in that case and in other cases is not ethnicity. Either you do not understand English or you are trying to create problems between editors. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:40, 7 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Help edit

Hello, I wanted to as is it okay to remove the wording "Northern Epirus". for people who were born in South Albania, where the content is not or malsourced? In every sngle page of someone who fought for greece and was born anywhere between korce and dhermi before 1945, the Greek Editors keep writing Northen Epirus. This is shameful as there is no source to that, nor is it true, as they use it even for historically incorrect times. Can you do something about it if possible? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by GjergjiZogaj126 (talkcontribs) 22:09, 15 September 2018 (UTC) Reply

Hi @GjergjiZogaj126:. Northern Epirus is a ethno-religious concept that is linked with territorial claims Greece had over some Albanian lands. The said concept means nothing to all people except of some religious fanatics in Greece and internet trolls. Nations have national mythologies that help them define their identity. In the case of Greece, the national mythology consists of religious ideas, due to Greece not having an established ethnic identity. Hence in Northern Epirus narratives all Christians of Albania south of Shkumbin are Northern Epirotes. The term is used in a historical context in some reliable academic books to explain problems that secular Albania and ethno-religious Greece have nowadays. Usage of the term in the articles of obscure people that were born in Albania and contributed to national interests of Greece is not prohibited by Wikipedia. Enriching articles of cultural identity and religious tolerance in Albania would be of more value than deleting a term from articles of people who identified with the ethno-religious cause of Greece. Use only reliable sources to make your edits, discuss with other editors in a calm way and feel free to ask for help. Cheers, :-) Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:56, 15 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

charismatic leader edit

On EOKA was led by a charismatic religious leader and its members were committed to Hellenism, an ideology which has an important religious aspect.. I surely can find credible sources for the first part. Give me some time. But some the ideology was Enosis, not hellenism. Hellenism as a word describing the certain ideology is not that popular and might be misleading. Plus, do you claim that Enosis (or Megali Idea) had religious aspects? I think that is difficult to establish. It is much easier to claim that "Cypriot church supported Enosis". Heinz A. Richter (2007) goes further and claims that it was the secularization that the new ruler (british) tried to establish, that pushed the Church towards Enosis. Didn't surprise me, to be honest. Cheers. Τζερόνυμο (talk) 20:03, 29 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you @Τζερόνυμο:. My concern was that the article did not elaborate on the relations between EOKA and the Church/religion. Hellenism is part of Greek national identity (like Albanianism is part of Albanian nationali identity). Hellenism reflects cultural values of Greek people, and is shaped by political and historical factors. Two of those factors are secularity and Greek Orthodoxy. Hence religion is part of Hellenism. National movements always have secular and religious aspects within them. For instance, one of the first major manifestations of the Albanian National Awakening was a (rather) religious (Muslim) organization, the League of Prizren. I have actually written some articles about problems some religious segments caused to national identites in the Balkans (mostly about the cases Kosovo and Albania). You added good content on the issue of EOKA's position regarding religion, and I am happy with it. The article is now balanced on the matter, and adding more similar stuff could be redundant.

Racism as rationale at wikipedia edit

I noticed that you continued to use your racist based rationale to dispute reliablity of the sources and removal of cited text, like you did here (diff) based on the wrong ethnicity of author as per your comment here (diff).

"Wrong" ethnicity of authors of the sources is not valid argument to proclaim some source as unreliable. If you believe that it is, go to RSN and reach consensus for your positon. Until then please do not use it on wikipedia again.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 20:05, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

You asked an admin on the issue and the responses there were not those you expected, right? Cheers and get informed about the definition of "racism". Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:10, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I reported you (diff) because of your modus operandi to use "wrong nationality" of authors as an excuse to remove text which does not correspond to your POV. Since no admin responded to my report you intend to continue with this modus operandi as long as you are allowed to do so.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 20:20, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
When you tried to push your absurd POV that Albanians are committing a genocide against Serbs, an editor who seems to be a Serb asked you to provide non-Serbian sources. Remember? A few days ago I and some Serbian editors discussed some content issues and agreed that using Albanian and Serbian sources to make strong claims regarding Albanians or Serbs is absurd. AFAIK, only you try to push that sort of POV. You are always reverted though. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:26, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Skanderbeg edit

Don´t unite all 3 sources, because just one claims his Bulgarian origin. FkpCascais (talk) 21:12, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

It would be great if you took the dispute to the article's talk page so other potentially interested editors can notice it on their watchlist and say their opinion. Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:15, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yo FkpCascais, the "punk" [10] (to use your words about me) wants to inform you that blogs are not reliable sources to support the ramblings of an IP. Making edits based on wp:idontlikeit reasons is disruptive editing. Consult wp:reliable and wp:civil as well to familarise yourself with wiki procedures.Resnjari (talk) 21:28, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Actually, we dont need to go to the process of discussing every obvious thing just for you to delay the change of content in the article that you don´t like. That sentence was badly sourced. There are two separate claims, one Serbian, another Bulgarian. Each should display the sources of their own. In this case, there is 1 claiming Bulgarian origin (Bulgarian source) and plenty of non-Serbian (thus stronger for being neutral), claiming Serbian origin. Separating sources to source what each one claims is something we should do. Gathering sources to add one exceptional claim into what are standard claims, is a no-no. FkpCascais (talk) 21:55, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Nah, that not's how you went by it. First you called editors whose edits you didn't agree with you "Albanian" in the talkpage, then supported the comments of an IP and used a blog to give as a reason for your editing [11] all in one post. Now your just attempting to back track here.Resnjari (talk) 22:17, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Resnjari and FkpCascais: This source [12] says that a Bulgarian origin of Voisava is supported by several historians. Should we add this source to the article and put an end to the dispute? Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:29, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
So add that source to the Bulgarian origin claim. Who is she by the way? FkpCascais (talk) 00:11, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
OK, I find out. She is an Albanian who wrote many books about Albanian history. Would you like me to start bringing Serbian historians and add what they say about this issue? FkpCascais (talk) 00:16, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Looking at FkpCascais' additions there are problems. The first his addition of Theodōros Spandouginos [13]. The source is a English translation of a Greek medaevil text from the 1530s. That is wp:primary and WP:AGEMATTERS. Please especially on things like this about origin, RS sources that are wp:secondary for neutrality purposes. The second source that was added [14] by Waltz does not refer to Skanderbeg as Serbian, but only mentions the Serb factor in Alb history at that point in time. So its an OR addition to the article.Resnjari (talk) 22:43, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Latest sock edit

Is a very fascinating case. Clear evidence of having a past account includes posts to wiki policy pages [[15]] [[16]] and piping in on ongoing discussion on Talk:Jimbo Wales here [[17]] with clear knowledge of obscure wiki rules -- also knowledge of copyright [[18]]. Also of interest is medical interests where he uses manual ref formatting [[19]], Roman history [[20]], South Asian ethnography [[21]] and Mid Eastern [[22]], Israeli politics -- where he interestingly takes a pro-Likud POV [[23]], as well as an interest in pornography [[24]] that he seems to be fine having in his edit history :). Or alternatively -- we are dealing with a current user who has a side account for edits he doesn't want tracked -- which makes the pornography, weed, and other sex related edits make more sense. We are definitely dealing with either a current user socking, or a permabanned but established user.--Calthinus (talk) 19:37, 15 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hey @Calthinus:, the guy was AMES. The same fringe POV, the same pattern of expressing themselves. AMES once used a Slovenia IP, this time it was an Austria IP. Slovenia and Austria are neighbours.
