Albanian Name

I saw that Athenean and Alexikua reverted the article several times, I have already reverted it 2-3 but I will stop since I do not want an edit war. Let us discuss this(the same applies to the one that reverted them back)--Sarandioti (talk) 22:37, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The unwritten understanding we have in these articles (Greece-Albania) is that we only include the "other" name in the lead if there are still native speakers of the language in those towns (and it is backed up by WP:RS, of course). This is the case, in Himarra, Saranda, Igoumenitsa etc...However it is not the case in Preveza and Arta. Otherwise, we would have to include the Greek name for Vlore, Korce, Durres, and so forth. The experienced users in these articles abided by this understanding and the articles were stable before you came in. We are not going to turn eveything upside down because of one new inexperienced user. --Athenean (talk) 06:27, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are comparing different situations Athenian. Of course no one is going to claim the addition of an ancient name who has no speakers in an area. But Arta and Preveza are modern areas, of great importance to Albanian history(principalities etc.). And yes they were inhabited by Cham Albanians. History is not about trade agreements Athenian, but about facts. --Sarandioti (talk) 08:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
