Dear user:Alexikoua,

in regards to the addition of the name in Albanian language at the Markos Botsaris article lead section, I consider it is within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines but, still I shall review again the policies as per your suggestion and I would kindly like to discuss with you back again.

In regards to the "The Greek–Albanian dictionary" section of the same article, there it is mentioned (third sentence): "...not in alphabetical order, and the Albanian words on the right, written in Greek letters." My edit was to remove the part "written in Greek letters". As I wrote to my explanation of the edit, in the Albanian part of the manuscript you can find the letter "ë" which is not part of the Greek alphabet but rather part of Albanian alphabet. So definitely the Albanian part is not written in Greek letters; such consideration is not supported and should be removed from the article. Or at least it should be re-written correctly clarifying that only the Greek part of the manuscript is written in Greek letters. Could you please kindly explain your revert of my edit at this part?

Thank You! Bcon4rit (talk) 09:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contribution. About introduction in biographies see: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biography#Context: The opening paragraph should usually provide context for the activities that made the person notable. In most modern-day cases this will be the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if the person is notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable.

Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the place of birth should not be mentioned in the lead unless they are relevant to the subject's notability.Alexikoua (talk) 20:26, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with changing the importance classification? Several cities are classified as TOP in WikiProject Albania and Vlorë is one of the top tier cities in Albania. The city has special importance because it is the city of the declaration of independence, the first capital of Albania, and represents a very important part of Albania ... so why not? The template is meant for the participants of WikiProject so I don't see whats your problem with that.

On the other hand, this is an easily categorized article in class C. Therefore I wanted to hear the reasons for returning to Start. Wikipedia is very clear in scaling categories.Bes-ARTTalk 22:42, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can't translate The state represented by 'Kemara' in the list of hosts had two centres, Himarre andBorsh, both probably fortified, and farther north the Amantes hadstrong points at Kanine and at their political centre, Ploce.42 Inland,however, in central Epirus the only fortified places were in the plain ofIoannina, the centre of the Molossian state.Thus the north-west Greek-speaking tribes were at a half-way stage economically and politically, retaining the vigour of a tribal society andreaching out in a typically Greek manner towards a larger politicalorganization. to They spoke a northwestern Greek dialect. It's a SYNTH use of bibliography and ignores the bibliographical discussion by extrapolating the view of one particular author, whose theory is already being discussed in the article.--Maleschreiber (talk) 00:28, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is clear that "the north-west Greek-speaking tribes" refer to the ones mentioned in the previous paragraph, i.e. Amantes were one of them.Alexikoua (talk)

There is no WP:SYNTH. SYNTH involves combining two or more sources, by definition. Maleschreiber, your behavior is bordering on bad faith and harassment. This has to stop, and it will, one way or another. Khirurg (talk) 04:12, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SYNTH: Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. Similarly, do not combine different parts of one source to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source. If you're going to argue about SYNTH, make sure to quote it correctly. Alexikoua is inferring from the same source something that is not mentioned explicitly. They are also adding WP:UNDUE material because Hammond is already being discussed in the article. It is Hammond's opinion that this population was Greek-speaking and that is explicitly mentioned in Hammond (1989) (not in Hammond's chapter in the CAH), but Hammond who is in the minority can't be readded in wikivoice (with a wrong citation) in order to bypass every other source and imply that almost every source which was published after 1990 considers them to be Illyrians, but also accepts that they were Greek-speaking - Hammond's theory. It's a problem of methodology to repeatedly highlight the one particular author with whom you agree, but whose corpus of works was written 40-60 years ago and is considered outdated today because we have 6 other sources written in the 21st century which don't reach the same conclusions as well as many others from his era which disagree with him.

I'm trying to highlight how editing should function in terms of how bibliographical discussions are presented, but if you think that this is "harrassment", do what feels best for you and file a report and then everyone's editing history will be scrutinized. I think that everyone's activity should be discussed on AE, the administration board which has really improved the Balkan topic area with its decisions.--Maleschreiber (talk) 14:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read the part about combining multiple sources? Now cut it out with the WP:BULLYING and WP:HARASSMENT or you will end up defending yourself at AE. Khirurg (talk) 16:57, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Devoll Municipality, Kardhiq and List of historic Greek countries and regions . This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.--InNeed95 (talk) 09:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alexikoua, it 's been too long since we last met in WP. I am happy to see that you are still active. So, might I ask a favour? Article on EOKA is pretty good. It has some major drawbacks, but with little work, it could became a Good Article. How nice would be that? My understanding is that it needs an introduction (that s where I need your help- could you do it? I could try but I feel most editors think I am biased) Other drawbacks is the undue weight on section of "Foreign Office declassified documents and EOKA lawsuits against the British government". (this can be solved with a little goodwill) Also, the Legacy and Aftermath sections need expanding but I didn't find a real RS (I mean academic work that discuss the effect EOKA struggle had on Cypurs -TC, GC, leftists- or on global scale). That 's the biggest obstacle. Otherwise, we are close enough to getting GA status. Cheers! Cinadon36 07:45, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's great news to hear! It will be a pleasure to contribute together to upgrade it to GA. I'm already checking those issues.Alexikoua (talk) 08:08, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Now that I think about it, the opening to the atrocities section states “the heavy and rapid defeat of the Ottoman army prevented the safe evacuation of muslim civilians, making them a clear target for the invading armies of the Balkan League”, I think this alone clearly implies that the vast majority/almost all of the Ottoman muslim civilian deaths took place during the first Balkan war, or at least duirng the first war and interregnum between the First and second Balkan war SamuelLion1877 (talk) 00:34, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We should take into account all available scholarship in general. Simply depending on a specific quote and by ignoring all the rest constitutes wp:POV.Alexikoua (talk) 03:43, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wtf are you talking about? No I think all you had to say was “I personally disagree with these two accredited historians so I am going to continuously vandalize and disrupt the page First Balkan War by removing sourced content and massacres of ottoman civilians both of which are sourced by accredited western historians SamuelLion1877 (talk) 05:04, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely none of the sources and references we used in the article go against Wikipedia’s policies. You are a liar and a disruptive editor, the only thing they “go against” or “violate” is your own personal biased opinion. See the talk page on the Balkan Wars article. Me and user Khuriug both agreed it was best to leave the two articles as they were as the vast majority of these deaths took place during the first Balkan war or at least the interregnum between the first and second Balkan war, not the second as that hardly involved the ottomans.

Moreover, I like how you completely made a U turn on your position in the last 24 hours, your first complaint was that the atrocities section should be moved to the Balkan Wars article, they were, and immediately user Khirug rv it and eventually agreed with me after some discussion that they should be kept on First Balkan War. Now all of a sudden the sources are somehow not reliable because you didn’t get your way? Get over yourself SamuelLion1877 (talk) 05:08, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
