DRN suggestion

Lost in all that text is me and El_C agreeing that maybe you could have a DRN with Alexikoua over the elections section. If you're down. I'd rather have the other editors (myself, Ktrimi, Khirurg) sit out, imo, it would probably be most focused that way. --Calthinus (talk) 01:39, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Genocide of Serbs

Hello, I see you are an experienced Wikipedia editor who has done work with pages about massacres and persecution of peoples. There is a bit of an edit war in the Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia article. There is also an ongoing debate about the lead and Background section, the chronological order of events, broader context etc. And unfortunately is a bit charged. I figured a person such as yourself would be a a good neutral party to take a look and provide some input on the issues of the article. It would be much appreciated! Cheers.

Dishonest behavior

Your friend Bato had three (and possibly four) reverts at Pelion (Chaonia) today. Did you a) miss that, or b) notice it but decided not to warn him? Khirurg (talk) 01:08, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Saying that "s/he did it too" is not a good argument in any situation IMO. I didn't notify Bato because he's the writer of most of the articles in Illyrian-related topics, an extremely experienced editor and an administrator on Albanian wikipedia. He definitely knows when he's reached 3R IMO. You've reached 3RR in two articles and because you're an experienced editor who definitely understands the concept of edit-warring, there was no formal need for a warning. If you reached 4RR, it could have simply moved to a community procedure. The warning exists to advice editors that they are close to crossing a certain threshold. It's for their own benefit and it also prevents a very unpleasant procedure. Just to be clear here, I don't believe in blocking, sanctions or bans as punitive measures against the editors. I only see them as a last resort to protect the integrity of a procedure, so even if I reported you if you reached 4R I would ask for something to the effect of "if Khirurg accepts to limit his reverting, there's no need for this to continue".--Maleschreiber (talk) 11:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Did you know nominations/Organ transplantation in Tamil Nadu

Please see note on your DYK review. Are you familiar with Earwig's Copvio Detector? Normally a low percentage like 15% doesn't need to be checked, but in the case of a new nominator, it's good to look at a few of the line items.

Hello

Oy how you doing mate? Hope all is well. Since you're interested in articles about tribes and the like, I thought you should check this out Mijaks and have your input in it. Kind of a obscure subject but if you have the time take a look at it. Best wishes Alltan (talk) 11:10, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Mijaci are not a community of common patrilineal origin. Their Y-DNA haplogroups show these differences. Mijak more or less refers to a microregional identity that developed over time, but it's not an identity like that of the fis or that of its slavicized variant, the pleme.--Maleschreiber (talk) 12:54, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ohh nice thanks dude, heads up btw Noel Malcolm says theyre an Albanian family like the Bruti and Bruni, but maybe its like with the Bua were its a family within a tribe. I also think we could do some stuff with the macure krici and spanje, but all in its own time i guess. Good talking to ya mate Alltan (talk) 15:50, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All of these families came from a fis and their power base was that fis. Anthropological and genealogical (Y-DNA) research as part of an interdisciplinary approach has highlighted great finds.--Maleschreiber (talk) 16:01, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of well cited assertion

Hi, I noticed that you removed well cited assertion with this diff and disguised it with "cleanup and expansion" description in edit line. I reverted your bold removal. Please do not repeat this kind of behavior in future.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 09:36, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can move your "well cited assertions" about Chetniks and "Communist propaganda" against them to a website that is more welcome to these beliefs. Wikipedia mirrors bibliographical consensus, not partisan debates.--Maleschreiber (talk) 15:49, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

False accusations

Hi,

With this edit (diff) you violated WP:AGF and falsely accused me for attempt to include Bojan Dimitrijević in a FA's bibliography in order to legitimize his later use in other articles although Dimitijević has already been included in FA's bibliography for more than 6 years. Having in mind that the discussion at this article talkpage (which you never edited before) is not the first you joined to contradict my opinion, somebody who does not AGF might conclude that you followed me with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance, or distress to me. Will you please be so kind to refrain from such behavior in future.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 17:28, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You started that discussion as an offshoot of the discussion about RP in which you presented Dimitrijević as RS. I took part in that discussion and I repeated the same arguments in the new section you specifically created about BD. If you don't like the fact that many editors have been pointing out the obvious POV you're pushing forward, maybe you should try another website that is more welcome to those beliefs. Just like I said when you were complaining that Pajović's anti-Chetnik activism, both in his real life and his works, is actually openly glorified as something good and normal: There are of course websites in which celebration of the anti-fascist victory against Chetnik Nazi collaborators is not considered "something good and normal". Wikipedia is not of those places. --Maleschreiber (talk) 19:01, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your reply only confirmed what I wrote. Yes, before you followed me to PĐ you followed me to RP (diff). Again to repeatedly contradict my work and WP:CANVASS another editor against me. Instead to acknowledge the issue with your editing with your reply you continued with violations of AGF. There is no other explanation except that you do it on purpose, hence this will be my last comment in this discussion with you. All the best.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:37, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, since day one in wikipedia I've been involved in articles about Montenegro. That includes Radoje Pajović. I tagged the article and pinged an admin to check it, not because he's an admin but because he genuinely knows a lot more than I about WWII in Yugoslavia. Then, I made some changes and he reworked the article entirely. Now, if you're going to cast WP:ASPERSIONs and argue that an admin was involved in the article because of canvassing do that directly on that admin's talkpage or even better report us both on WP:AE.--Maleschreiber (talk) 01:49, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't mock users in edit summaries

WP:SUMMARYNO. This [2] had better be last occurrence of this behavior. You've done it before, too [3]. If it happens again, I will report you. Third time's a charm as they say. Khirurg (talk) 17:14, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think that I mocked you? There many things that each of us doesn't know and it's an absolutely normal thing. There's nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't report someone because they pointed out something that I might not know, but you're free to report anyone you want. --Maleschreiber (talk) 17:22, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Don't play dumb. You know what you did. And if you do it again, you will be defending it AE instead of here. Promise. Khirurg (talk) 17:24, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, do that, if you feel that it is the right thing for you to do. I'm being honest with you though when I'm telling you that there's no mocking in highlighting things that someone may not be aware of - when it's done in the context of information sharing, like I did. It's a natural process by which we all learn and I hope that one day you see it in the same way too. But if you don't perceive such instances in the same way, I'm happy to discuss them with you. But I don't think that it's the best course of action for you to come to my talkpage and start a discussion with "promises" of reporting me to AE. It seems rather counter-productive.--Maleschreiber (talk) 17:35, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Counter productive", says the guy who deliberately mentions other editors in edit summaries in a mocking manner. Anyway, I don't care about your complicated explications. You have been made aware of WP:SUMMARYNO, so there won't be any more warnings. Have a nice day. Khirurg (talk) 17:37, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You can have the interpretation that you consider to be the right one. I don't think that it's a correct interpretation, I may ask from an admin to explain it to me though. Have a nice day.--Maleschreiber (talk) 17:49, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be transparent here, I asked an admin about how SUMMARYNO can be used User_talk:EdJohnston#Use_of_summary_interpretation.--Maleschreiber (talk) 18:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There was absolutely no mocking in the cited examples of Maleschreiber's "edit summary" explanations, but the insult that editor Khirurg made at the MS's expense, in his overly adverse reproach, clearly stand out.

Mališevo->Malishevë

Hello Male How are You? To be honest I'm not very sure about the proposed move to Malishevë. Are we allowed to have two move requests at the same time? Should we close the current move request to go for a new one? What do You think of waiting for the result of the current RM and go for Malishevë after that? I'm just curious because I don't want Wikipedia to keep the undeserved Serbian name for that article. Crazydude1912 (talk) 13:29, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Balkan-related Article

Hello friend, I hope you're doing well. Since i know you're essentially contributing to important articles related to the Balkans, I was probably thinking of you when I saw the issue within the Ancient Macedonians article [4]; if you're not too busy maybe you're interested to give your input as you have a good historical understanding regarding the topic about ancient peoples and tribes in the Balkans. Faleminderit për kontributin tend!--Lorik17 (talk) 10:58, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it is more complex than the approach which the editor who started the discussion is trying to put forward. Ancient Macedonian identity evolved from a tribal identity to state identity and then to an imperial identity. In every stage of its progress, it became more inclusive of other elements - as all identities of the citizens of expanding states do. The "original" language was definitely closer to ancient Greek than to Thracian.--Maleschreiber (talk) 17:55, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Muhammad Ali Pasha of Egypt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKI5zEpmE1o&t=1078s 15.50 in this video, Prince Abbas Hilmi clearly states that Muhammad Ali Pasha's father came to Kavala from Turkish city Konya. Also he says that Muhammad Ali Pasha's native language was Turkish and that almost all members of the dynasty can spoke Turkish. If his father came from Konya, how could he be Albanian? Also there's no evidence that he's an Albanian. I want the ethnic origin parts changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnl0g 044 (talk • contribs) 18:38, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is based on reliable sources if there is an overwhelming consensus about a topic, you need even more authoritative bibliography to put forward another narrative because in your case you'd have to explain why Fuad I of Egypt claimed the throne of Albania or why Albanian Egyptians were specifically targeted when the regime was overthrown.--Maleschreiber (talk) 18:50, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Cem (river)

On 6 November 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cem (river), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Cem river basin (pictured) in the borderlands of Albania and Montenegro is home to more than a quarter of the total plant species identified in each country? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cem (river). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Cem (river)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I will soon create the template. @Calthinus: and Maleschreiber, do you have further suggestions? Ktrimi991 (talk) 23:51, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
One row for rilindas individuals themselves, perhaps ordered by either surname or birthdate. Another for major events. Lastly, one for pages about specific works they made or about specific ideologies -- i.e. Albanian nationalism, Secularism in Albania, Albanian alphabet etc. All just suggestions!--Calthinus (talk) 00:12, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Montenegro Settlements

I live in Montenegro and you have to understand that the old government in power (DPS) invented the Montenegrin language. I never changed another language including Albanian from any of the pages because Albanian actually is a proper language, which was not invented in the 90's like Montenegrin. Another thing you have to factor in is that the majority of the citizens in Montenegro speak the Serbian language; this is also agreed upon universally by world linguists, who have established that the Montenegrin people have been speaking the Serbian language for over a millennium. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CrnogorskiKralj (talk • contribs) 23:36, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question(s)

Çkemi Male? Shpresoj tjesh mirë dhe me shëndet. Im editing the articles around Albanian clans,but i ran into some issues. 1) I cant find much material on older tribes like maleshi, krici, niksici and the like. Could you perhaps link me any good studies on the topic or pdfs? It would be of great help. And 2nd)I took a look at Kuqi, and although theres plentz of material to support their albanian origin, Im not comfortable to add them to the sidebar at the moment. Theyre id say a special case cause they still exist, so you cant add them to *Historical*,but theyre also primarily slavic nowadays, so im not sure i can put them with tribes like Krasniqi or Shala. Maybe the example of say Shkreli/Škrijel would be a good model? Si Mendon?.Tung! Alltan (talk) 16:27, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Alltan. Hope you're well. I think that you can add Kuçi in the historical tribes section because a part of them remained Albanian until very late and a part in KS and Plava-Gucia are Albanian even today. In the article, I've tried to put forward a balanced version between historical origins and modern identities. In terms of demographics, most Kuçi today are in fact Sandzakli Bosniaks, so they're quite close to a division like the one about Shkreli. I have many sources about Krici and other such tribes - mostly Serbo-Croatian ethnography. I can e-mail you a tranferfile link or send them directly via e-mail. --Maleschreiber (talk) 23:52, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mirdita

How you doing man?. Well the "principality" or the autonomous entity was build upon several bajraks or 12 bajraks in which all of them were ruled by a single prince or kapedan. It's similarly as Prince-Bishopric of Montenegro in which at first it was a small autonomous entity but it expanded afterwards by the unification of surrounding bajraks, so i think it's ok to call it a principality due to the fact that it has been refereed as such by several authors and the rulers themselves were refereed as such--User:Dardania0 (talk) 19:56, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some descendants of these bajraktars call it a principality and in 1921 the last bajraktar tried to form a principality - Republic of Mirdita - but Mirdita wasn't an autonomous entity. It was a group of bajraks under a hereditary bajraktar. The bajrak was a military institution which granted semi-autonomy in terms of taxation and property rights, but it's not the same as political autonomy and semi-independence. If Mirdita was a "principality" because it was under the bajrak system, then there were tens of principalities in Albanian lands. If there is no bibliography which discusses it as a principality, we should have wider community discussion about a merge to Mirdita.--Maleschreiber (talk) 22:28, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You need to stop conflating the city of Bar with the municipality of Bar. The municipality of Bar Wikipedia page already has the Albanian version in it as 6.51% of the population declared Albanian as their mother tongue. Meanwhile, for the city of Bar a measly 0.91% of the population declared Albanian as their mother tongue, which does not constitute it as a minority language for the city. Also, about 0.56% of the population declared Russian as their mother tongue, that does not mean we should also add Russian in the language header at the start of the article. The main point I am trying to make is that since such a small percentage of Bar city residents speak Albanian as their mother tongue, it should be put with Italian and all the other languages in the name section where it rightfully belongs! — Preceding unsigned comment added by BalkanKing (talk • contribs) 22:41, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hello, if you have knowledge of Italian I suggest you take a look at [5]

I have been researching archives and libraries for several days now as more books are being digitized day by day. One of which is the Archivio Studi Adriatici which is the open-source digital portal for free access to the heritage of books, papers, documents, and historical and modern scientific collections of the ISMAR-CNR Institute of Marine Sciences in Venice. Use the search bar to find what you want, for example: Albania. The book L'Albania by Vico Mantegazza (1912) might capture your interest. All are free to download in PDF. Bes-ARTTalk 23:38, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Bes-ART:. Some of these sources are valuable because they have archival material which may have never been recorded in modern publications. We can also share offline publications which might be useful via e-mail, if you want to. I have access to JSTOR and other digital libraries.--Maleschreiber (talk) 23:56, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, they are the archives of Venice and especially for the northern part of Albania there is unstudied material. Many modern studies seem to be based on these sources. Example: L'Albania: notizie geografiche, ethnografiche e storiche published in 1901 (which I miss-quoted in the comment above), a few years before independence where it talks about the origin of the Albanians, the language, the territorial extent and everything else is very interesting. It seems that these books are little or not used on Wikipedia. @Alltan: may be interested in Albanian tribes, and this archive is full of material to study.

"Template:Request quotation" and general references

I don't think the use of {{qn}} (diff) is meant for general references such as Hamp & Ismajli (2007)? I searched for an alternative template regarding general references specifically, but didn't manage to find one. I believe that the creation of a new thread in the talk page, addressing your concern, would receive more attention. Furthermore, ideally and per WP:GENREF, WP:CITESHORT, and WP:ILC#References/Notes_section, the current "References" section should be renamed "Notes" or "Footnotes", and the "Bibliography" section should be divided into "References" and "General references"; the latter should include Hamp & Ismajli (2007), etc. Demetrios1993 (talk) 19:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to mention that we have the Template:More footnotes needed, which relates and can be used for both articles and sections (not "References" section), but isn't appropriate for trivial cases involving only one or a few general references; to be honest, i haven't really checked the article properly, to see if there are more than just Hamp & Ismajli (2007). Demetrios1993 (talk) 18:36, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, Demetrios. Hope you're well. I think that it can also be replaced with {{vn}}.--Maleschreiber (talk) 18:42, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am doing ok; hope you are as well. Actually, {{vn}} is Template:Verify source. At first glance it might seem more appropriate, though, it likewise isn't meant for general references under the "References" section, but for specific passages in the article. The problem with general references is that they aren't linked to any particular text, and thus, text–source integrity is lost; it makes verifiability very hard, and the editors who add them tend to summarize large parts of a source (chapters, entire book, etc.). I did a quick search in the edit history to find out who added the aforementioned reference; it turns out that it was initially added by User:Aigest back on 14 May 2009, with a footnote that supposedly summarized the reference (diff). This is already mentioned and referenced to Hamp & Adams (2013) in your recent edit (diff); thus, Hamp & Ismajli (2007) can be removed altogether after all, since it pertains to the same author and view, albeit from a prior publication.

Principality of mirdita

I thought it did Exist? Did you not see the page??

Also that besart guy wont let me add the league of lezhe flag on the historical flag section he says its "to off topic" when its literally the first albanian flag that basically made us have our flag today. Would adding the flag of Mercurio Bua on the albanian flags page be fine cause I dont want another of my edits to get deleted

@Arberian2444: It really didn't exist - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Principality of Mirdita. Besart is trying to help you. The historical flag is discussed in the background section. He didn't removeit. Bua's CoA is his personal CoA, it wasn't used as a flag. It's like saying that the Muzaka CoA was a flag. The best way to get started is to read a lot about a subject before you edit. If you want to I can give you access to my source collection (contact me via e-mail).--Maleschreiber (talk) 20:04, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks for responding! But I dont get what besart is doing cause I want to add the League of Lezhe Flag on the historical section of the page cause it was a Historical Flag of albania it was a physical flag that was risen in kruje in 1444. Also on mercurio Buas page it said its a physical flag that was made in 1510. Thanks for responding again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arberian2444 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, a CoA can be a physical object. But it's not a national flag. A national flag is a collective symbol of a people, but a CoA is the personal symbol of a historical figure.--Maleschreiber (talk) 22:29, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
League of Lezhë as far as I know doesn't have a flag. At least the sources I consulted. Even if did have one (the one you're trying to include) , it is a direct derivative of Kastriotis flag which is currently mentioned. Again, the article is about "the Flag of Albania" the country that was constituted in 1912... and as such everything else is off-topic, except the origin of it. The origin is mentioned by Konica, Schiro, De Rada etc. and it is cite: "the flag of Skanderbeg". Thanks Bes-ARTTalk 22:38, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So I cant add any flags of albanias history like the Principality of Albania (medieval) ? or The principalities on this page? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arberian2444 (talk • contribs) 06:46, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alot of Places say he did have a flag on all these different sources? And how did we even get our flag today if he never had one I dont get how that makes sense? "he raised a red standard with a black double-headed eagle on Krujë" It is even said on Britannica "On November 28, 1443, the national hero of Albania, a prince known as Skanderbeg (George Kastrioti), raised his flag over the fortress of Krujë in defiance of the Turks who ruled the country" Which is a trusted website with trusted authors both identifiable and credible. And The first siege of Krujë by Jost Amman shows the albanian flag on the wood carving as well? So Im confused How it wasn't a real flag?? Our flag is even the Fifth oldest continuous flag in the world. Thanks again for responding

Spurious warning

You have 3 reverts at Kosovo Liberation Army. Informing you that you have reached that point is for your own benefit and for the protection of editing process.--Maleschreiber (talk) 19:44, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't made three reverts, look at the diffs to understand the nature of my edits. Only two are reverts, and one hardly even counts toward 3RR as a revert of a potentially disruptive edit: unexplained removal of sourced content—I directed to editor to offer an explanation, on their talk page, and after they did, and initiated a discussion I subsequently did not revert, but discussed the content. My third edit which removed something else, that had been there for a long time, and was not the actual content point that was disputed, is not in this context as a revert, and is simply me working on the article. When people work on the article some of the diffs register as subtractions and some as additions. Read Wikipedia:WikiProject User warnings for instructions on issuing warnings and you will find: You should check that the user has made harmful or disruptive edits before issuing a warning ... and You should ensure that you are familiar with the content of templates before issuing them. If the tone or content of a template isn't appropriate, don't use the template — just say it normally, because it likely would violate basic WP:CIVIL. I am assuming good faith here, and presuming that you are concerned about an edit war occuring on that page, which is great. But you can not just go around slapping the 3RR warning on the talk page of people indiscriminately, without good grounds. Be more careful in the future. twsabin 19:54, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You have 3 reverts and you received a generic warning for 3RR - just like the other editor did [7]. This is done as a means to help you avoid further troubles as this article is directly under AE oversight. If you want to read it as something which is not helping you, you can do that too, but I don't think that it's the best course of action for you or the other editor. Thank you.--Maleschreiber (talk) 20:04, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I did not make three reverts, and have explained why. You don't seem to be interested in facts, and seem intent on giving out baseless warnings. I still think you are acting in good faith by trying to prevent something bad from happening, but the way in which you are doing it is not helpful. If you post a spurious warning on my, or anyone else's, talk page again, I will consider this to be disruptive, and will seek counsel and help from other editors, in order for this behavior to be reviewed. twsabin 20:11, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And as someone who has seen many 3RR cases I can tell you that you definitely reached that threshold. You can do with that information whatever you want from now on, but don't except that the argument you used above as an explanation for 2RR would be considered a legitimate one at 3RR noticeboards. I just saw that you created your account on January 27, 2022. Have you had an account in the past or edited as an IP?--Maleschreiber (talk) 20:17, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you keep pushing the baseless acussation about edit warring, and particularly the added implication of other accounts, I will alert an administrator as you are nearing a point at which I would consider your attitude an attempt to intimidate me. Actually I think it's probably too late, as I can't realistically predict a constructive resolution to this thread without outside help. twsabin 20:22, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Twsabin: you have made 3 reverts there [8][9][10]. In the three cases you add the US to the lede. The other editor explained their rationale in an edit summary, so reverting them as merely a disruptive editor/vandal does not prevent you from breaching the 3RR. In any case, I think that both you and the other side of the dispute did not aim to damage the quality of the article, and the dispute seems to have been solved. The best thing to do in such cases is to play it safe and wait to see if things can be sorted out on the talk page by discussing with the other side of the dispute, or if that fails, open an WP:RfC. You do not breach the 3RR only if the other editor is removing content without providing a reason or if they insert clearly disruptive material (such as insults). Read WP:Vandal for more examples. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:07, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What, you're counting that as a revert? See WP:BRB. That is not even similar to the disputed fragment that was subject to reverts. That edit is what came from the discussion after I had taken into account Butrint10morina's arguments (immediately after they offered them, doing so for the first time), essentially accepting their point, and writing a completely different version, that incorporates their criticism, and is simply what follows from the body. twsabin 21:18, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You added the US twice and then the other editor wrote on the talk page: As such the sentence "It was considered a terrorist group by Yugoslavia and the United States until the breakup of Yugoslavia." needs to be modified to "It was considered a terrorist group by Yugoslavia until the breakup of Yugoslavia." thus removing the part "and the United States. That editor on the talk page kept his position that the US should not be in the lede. Your reaction? You added the US again for the third time [[11]. That is an addition of the US, no matter if you slightly reworded it. Hence you have 3 reverts there, not two. Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:42, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Twsabin I posted an edit warning template to your talkpage and to the talkpage of the other editor. Per WP:OWNTALK don't use my talkpage to continue a discussion about your reverts. The article talkpage is the place to have a discussion about edits. Ktrimi991 Discussions about content edits can continue at the article's talkpage. Thank you.--Maleschreiber (talk) 21:45, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I am not interested in participating at that content dispute. I just saw a confused new editor and gave some advice. Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:47, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ferret: (edit conflict)Hello. I wanted not to address any specific administrator, so I tried this (that which was removed), but Maleschreiber removed it from this talk page (their choice). I am therefore seeking your input on this conduct dispute, as I think that it's clear enough and not urgent/intractable enough to need wider community input, such as at ANI. The only reason why I am pinging you and not any other administrator is because I remember your username and your being an admin. Thanks for any guidance you can offer here. twsabin 21:49, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not at all interested in getting involved in a content dispute in this topic area. If you want to use the Admin Help template you should do it from your own user talk. Maleschreiber's removal from their talk page is 100% valid. Or even better, use the article's talk page to discuss the dispute. -- ferret (talk) 22:05, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ferret: This is not about content but about conduct (spurious warning and accussation of abusing multiple accounts). I'm not complaining about their removal of the Admin Help template, but about a conduct issue that has to do with WP:HARASS in light of the above discussion. Can you give me any advice on how to proceed? twsabin 22:09, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My advice? Drop the topic and don't violate WP:3RR. Giving you a warning about 3RR in a WP:GS area is not WP:HARASS or a conduct issue even remotely requiring intervention. -- ferret (talk) 22:15, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ferret Thanks, I left a standard notice to both editors because they might not be aware of 3RR and AE issues. This was done purely to help them understand the situation without getting into unnecessary trouble. If they continued reverting each other, then what would happen is that there would have been admin oversight which would likely lead to blocks eventually.--Maleschreiber (talk) 22:19, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ferret:How can I participate in discussions and work on articles if I'm seen as someone who is edit warring (when I was not) and who is abusing multiple accounts (you didn't comment on that)? This is simply an attempt to intimidate me from participating in that topic area. twsabin 22:20, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Where did you see the accusations (unless I missed something)? He just asked you if you had a previous account in Wikipedia, and considering that you are conformable enough with Wikipedia policies, is seems that is true. Nothing wrong about that. Bes-ARTTalk 22:20, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Twsabin Edit-warring is something that many editors do from time to time. It's not an inherent trait but something which should be avoided. Bes-ART I didn't even insinuate that they're socking. I just asked them if they have any previous accounts or if they have edited as an IP editor - both of which constitute a legitimate practice and don't necessarily mean anything related to WP:SOCK. --Maleschreiber (talk) 22:25, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My inherent trait is that I am not edit warring, and I will not have that brought into question with spurious warnings and insinuations. twsabin 22:30, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You made multiple reverts to an article under general sanctions. Do you understand that an admin operating by the strictest letter of the rules could have blocked you right off? You are harassing someone who gave you a standard warning instead of immediately reporting you to admins. Exactly what is your goal in this discussion? To argue Maleschreiber until they say "You're right, you were not close to violating 3RR.". Because I'm telling you as an admin: You were close to violating 3RR. -- ferret (talk) 23:18, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ferret Well then you're wrong as an admin. I was not close: Relevant diffs and links, in chronology:

This is evidence that I was conducting myself completely collaboratively and did not make any edit warring actions. My goal in this discussion was to tell Maleschreiber not to post unjustified warnings, and not to make menacing suggestions regarding other accounts, as as way of imposing in a topic area. --twsabin 21:10, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can choose to argue this into the ground and risk a block for disruption and harassment, or let it go. You made multiple undoes to that article in a short period of time less than 24 hours. That is a potential 3RR violation, and you received the standard warning for it. That's all there is to it. -- ferret (talk) 23:45, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I could not have known that I was not reverting vandalism, being faced with removals of sourced content without summaries. When I understood that it is not vandalism, I did not revert any more and stuck to the normal editorial process. I was not edit warring. My approach was completely collaborative. That's my closing statement here. twsabin 23:49, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if you could see or spectate the talk page in "Crnojević noble family" since I have started to get annoyed with Sideshow Bob, I am still fairly recent on wikipedia So I'm not sure which measures should be taken however he is using heavy terms and automatically assuming ethnicities, he made aggresive comments such as here , here, and here Since you are a well experienced Wiki User, and your neutral I think you could help this situation well.

Hello, Maleschreiber,

Thank you for creating Llapçevë (site).

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

University theses tend to present original research (see WP:OR), which is not compatible with Wikipedia's core content policies. Is there substantial coverage of this site in secondary sources: reliable, independent ones?

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Paul W}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Llapçevë (site) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Llapçevë (site), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Dardanian and Albanian languages

Hi Maleschreiber. I noticed one edit on the article Dardani, where you removed the information stating: "In the last decades, Dardanian is considered a separate language, also potentially important for Albanian language history." as unsourced. However this information is supported by the source. It is in an article about the Albanian language at the end of the paragraph that starts as follows: "The origin and early history of the Albanian language...", you can find here: https://www.academia.edu/36978916/Albanian. The article is authored by Alexander Rusakov. It is part from the book: The Indo-European Languages with editors Mate Kapović, Anna Giacalone Ramat and Paolo Ramat, and published by Routledge. Regards. Jingiby (talk) 04:02, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Jingiby. Hope you're well. Rusakov doesn't write anything about Dardanian because Dardanian isn't even attested as language. From what we know based on the onomastic groupings, it formed its own subgroup between southern Illyrian and Dalmato-Pannonian. Rusakov's argument is that if Albanian was spoken between Naissus and Scupi, then it might correspond to Dardanian. This is the reverse statement of what the editor added.--Maleschreiber (talk) 23:39, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Can you please do me a favor ? And add some information here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Kosovo

Add the description of Evliya Celebi for the 17th century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evliya_%C3%87elebi , he basically included the Western and Central part and Llapi in North-East of Kosova as Albanian

Can you also please add most of the towns were Muslim Albanian such as Prishtina, Peja, Prizren, Vushtrri etc which is also what sources at that time state , also add more information about Austrian- Ottoman wars which were led by Albanians . Can you also add some more information about the supposed exaggerated Serb claim ? There is no evidence those 30k-40k refugees came from Kosove , they are also using Jagodic and some dubious sources to claim a forcibly settlement of Albanaisn in a territory that already had an Albanian population which is nonsensical also for example many Serbs from outside Kosove moved into Kosove in the 18th century as noted by Malcolm, not to mention pandemics and killings took many peoples lives if you read on this topic, the towns which had a mostly Albanian population lost quite significantly their population . Also Jagodic is the same guy that they used to make supposed claim of Albanian settlements in the Toplica area which actually already had an Albanian population too... Also for example the Gashi were forcibly expelled into the Llap which already was Albanian in fact. This is basically the evidence they use from dubious sources such as Jagodic to supposedly make a claim that Albanians are a people that were forcibly settled by Ottomans, mainly few tribes , not only but Serbs are people who only went out , in fact most of the 30k-40k refugees that went to Hungary did not come from Kosove if you read more on Malcolm about this

Also the part that is mentioned about Western Kosove being Albanian speaking and Eastern Kosove being Serbo-Croat actually is from Catholic sources and only refers to Catholic minorities in Kosove at that time and that Catholics in West were Albanian speaking, while most of East Kosove Catholics were Serbo-Croat speaking, it's not for the whole region such as Muslims and other religions and has been written wrong.

Kuci tribe

Hi Maleschreibe,

I reverted your edit where you claimed that the Jashari family is not descended from the Kuçi tribe. However, there are sources that contradict this, and it has even been confirmed by a member of the Jashari family, Asllan Jashari. Additionally, you can refer to an article from the Serbian DNA Project "Poreklo," which shows that all the villagers in Prekaz, the original home of the Jashari family, are descended from the Kuçi tribe.[12].

Asllan Jashari stated: "Fisi më luftarak është fisi KUÇ," and he convincingly explains the genealogy and branching of Kuçi families, who today mainly live in Prekaz i Poshtëm, Prekaz i on Epërm, Galicë, Tërnavc, Abri e Epërme, Abri e Poshtme, Lutogllavë, and other settlements. He justifies this by mentioning the brave men, from Ahmet Delia and Ramë Islami, Azem Galica and Mursel Ahmeti, Emin Lati and Rifat Galica, Nebih and Tahir Meha, to Adem Jashari and other members of the Jashari family, who crowned our struggle for freedom.[13]

Best regards, Azphalt (talk) 21:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Azphalt: There is a Kuç in Skrapar as well. Are they Kuçi too? You need to read more about the subject before editing. The Jashari family has been tested in the Albanian DNA Project and they have a different line. They're not Kuçi. They are part of what is known as Berisha e Kuqe. --Maleschreiber (talk) 22:24, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, of course not, since we are talking about Gheg tribes and nothing about Tosks. I have provided you with two sources, while you provided one that claims Adem Jashari belongs to the Berisha and Kuqi tribes. Additionally, the Albanian professor Nexhmedin Spahiu himself confirmed on Koha.net that Adem Jashari is from the Kuçi tribe. By the way, I am a resident of this village and know the Jashari family very well. [14] Azphalt (talk) 23:41, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Poreklo's article is based on an outdated source by Vukanović. While it may contain relevant information relating to the ancestry of some Drenica families, that is their possible recent presence in the region at the time or their ties with each other, information concerning their affiliation to this or that tribe is to be taken with caution. Ethnologists of the time, like Erdeljanović, mostly based their conclusions on fieldwork, i.e. on the oral traditions of the people they studied. But among Albanians and Serbs, it is quite common to claim an origin from a particular prestigious tribe, without actually being from that tribe. For example, we sometimes find Albanians from Kosovo claiming to be from Kelmendi when they are not, and Serbs from Serbia claiming to be from Drobjnaci when they are not either. The same applies here to the Jashari. Krisitor (talk) 08:25, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The edit should have been deleted after the issue was solved as to avoid drawing any further attention, but what I posted was only meant to combat impersonation. I'm perfectly aware of the fact that everyone has the right to be anonymous and that posting personal information about other editors is strictly prohibited.--Maleschreiber (talk) 05:18, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The policy I linked says To combat impersonation (an editor claiming falsely to be a particular person), it is permissible to post or link to disavowals from that person, provided that the person has explicitly and in good faith given their consent. In this situation the person (the owner of the accounts you linked to) has not given their consent and the person has not disavowed the connection.

I posted public information - not private information - which is accessible to everyone and based on such public information all participants of the discussion agreed about what should happen and this led to the deletion of the userpage. The discussion wouldn't end in this manner if it wasn't apparent to everyone that there's no connection between the account and the individual. This was the fastest and most productive way of collective action as a means to protect the individual and their data from impersonation and everybody agreed that this is the necessary course. What would the alternative course of action be in this case? What should I or any other editor do if I/we/they spot another case of public data being used in such manner by an anonymous account?--Maleschreiber (talk) 05:59, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
