Re: Italian expedition
There is no hurry, maybe some other editors will give thear suggestion as well, so you can implement the best of it in the article. Regards, Kebeta (talk) 23:13, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
On 21 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Battle of Ohrid, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that after defeating the Ottomans in the Battle of Ohrid, Skanderbeg distributed a large amount of ransom money to his men and dined off letnica with them? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
When I started the article, I took the Albanian translation Republika Shqipëtare Korçë for the name from here, page 43. I think it was this edit of ZjarriRrethues that changed it to Republika Autonome Shqipëtare Korçë. Then User:Sepastaj wrote this comment and based on the new Albanian transliteration renamed the article. I AGF and expected that ZjarriRrethues and Sepastaj know Albanian language and that they know very well how to write the right name of the article on Albanian and to translate it to English. I haven't paid too much attention to it because there are other numerous versions of the name of that entity. If you think that existing version is wrong, feel free to change it, but please provide some kind of source.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 23:32, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is Hurricanehink (submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H. Piotrus (submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Gaius, thats great! Your list is cool, just add in the same place diffs with on-line links for that claims, as i did, so we can check those. Thanks in advance! :) --WhiteWriter speaks18:11, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Great, It looks nice. I've two suggestions though. First: the title is somewhat misleading, maybe Ottoman incursions in Albania in XVth century AD might be more appropriate or something like that. Second: I have created this Albania blank map which is free for use (so no worry for authors' rights), it has somewhat higher quality of other Albanian maps and it can be used in various articles.
I will add other suggestions :) Ottoman routes does look ok in principle, however I see that none of them reaches Kruja (we have three major offensives of Sultans there) so maybe the routes could be extended to battle places (eg on route with multiple endings) and also some dates of incursions eg 1444, 1446, 1448 etc(but only if it doesn't affect too much the map (overly info is not a good idea:)). Anyway congrats on that. Best Regards Aigest (talk) 07:39, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2011 April newsletter
Round 2 of the 2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to Hurricanehink (submissions) and Nergaal (submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; featured sounds, featured portals and featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to Candlewicke (submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!
Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

On 1 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Battle of Meçad (1465), which you created or substantially expanded.

We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by Racepacket (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions) and Canada Hky (submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

I know that you are on wikibreak but I simply had to approach to you because I recently discovered about Biemmi and work of Noli which heavily relied on him and Barleti. Unfortunately, you too considered Biemmi as "one of the primary sources on Skanderbeg and his campaigns" and heavily relied many articles you wrote on questionable sources like:
Marin Barleti who is even included in the text of the lede of Skanderbeg article despite the fact that he made up (FORGED) spurious correspondence between Vladislav II of Wallachia and Skanderbeg wrongly assigning it to the year 1443 instead to the year of 1444 (Setton, Kenneth (1976—1984), The Papacy and the Levant, 1204-1571, vol. four volumes, American Philosophical Society, p. 73, ISBN978-0-87169-114-9, ...... The spurious correspondence of July and August 1443, between Ladislas and Scanderbeg (made up by Barletius, who should assigned it to the year 1444) ...{{citation}}: Check date values in: |year= (help); Cite has empty unknown parameter: |coauthors= (help); More than one of |author= and |last= specified (help)CS1 maint: year (link)) and invented correspondence between Skanderbeg and Sultan Mehmed II (Setton, Kenneth (1976—1984), The Papacy and the Levant, 1204-1571, vol. four volumes, American Philosophical Society, p. 73, ISBN978-0-87169-114-9, ...... He also invented a correspondence between Skanderbeg and Sultan Mehmed II to fit his interpretations of the events in 1461—1463 ...{{citation}}: Check date values in: |year= (help); Cite has empty unknown parameter: |coauthors= (help); More than one of |author= and |last= specified (help)CS1 maint: year (link))
Gennaro Francione (a writer also worked as an actor and director, theater, essayist and painter who is from the artistic point of view influenced by Hacker Art, art, Gothic Revival and the so-called cyber-culture)
Work of Harry Hodgkinson coedited by Bejtullah D. Destani and Westrow Cooper. Professor James Pettifer, British academic, who has specialised in Balkan affairs, educated in Oxford, professor in the Institute of Balkan Studies, a member of the Royal Institute of International Affairs...... etc.... wrote here that Harry Hodgkinson “left school at the age of 16” and that “throughout his life he took up strong anti-Serb and anti-Bulgarian positions” being "intelligence officer". Coeditor of this selfpubliched book, Mr. Bejtullah D. Dostani is founder and owner of The Centre for Albanian Studies which goals are to "publish books, pamphlets and to also organise conferences and seminars relating to Albania, Kosova and Albanian speaking world". Bejtullah D. Destani (founder and owner of The Centre for Albanian Studies) is in this letter written by Noel Malcolm described as man who "pay for the basic costs (editorial work, layout, and printing) of each book. Far from gaining financially himself, he is constantly spending his own money on these projects;". Meaning that it is not only selfpublished but also selfinanced work (wp:Vanity). Here is link to site with biography of Westrow Cooper, another coeditor of Harry Hodgkison's Skanderbeg. He is " freelance writer and designer."
I believe that reliability, neutrality and credibility of above mentioned authors and their works is seriously questioned. I am sure that you are aware that we have serious problem with numerous statements and articles which heavily rely solely on above mentioned authors and their works.
What do you think how we can solve this problem?
Taking in consideration that you are on wiki break for next two weeks, I will leave this matter for now, regarding articles about numerous Skanderbeg's campaigns within Template:Ottoman-Albanian_Wars that you are main contributor of.
Please think about this issue. I hope that I can expect your proposal how to resolve this issue till the end of June?
Right now I do not agree with you about this problem, but I will think more about your explanations. In the meantime, I copied our correspondence on the Skanderbeg's article talk page, because it is related to the article(s) about Skanderbeg. Maybe some other user can help resolving or better understanding this problem.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 16:22, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Giammaria Biemmi
On 13 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Giammaria Biemmi, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Giammaria Biemmi's work on Skanderbeg raised controversy among historians over his sources' authenticity? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
I started something that i never done before, but i like it already very, very much. As explained here, i started new draft on Vojsava Tripalda, with idea to create article, sentence by sentence. As article is quite small, we will easily add part by part, and create one good version that will be the best. Please, say to the talk page will you participate, as i would really give my best to help, compromise and do what ever is needed to finally, after one year of discussion, end this on the best way, friendly and calmly. I will do my best, and i hope that you will do that also. :) All best. --WhiteWriter speaks22:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was Casliber (submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by Wizardman (submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by Eisfbnore (submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by Hurricanehink (submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.
No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.
We would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.
Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

New Map
Here is a new map. As you can see Scanderbeg, Muzaka, Dukagjini, Arianiti castles are easily identified. I've tried to pinpoint the exact location by using sources, compass and google earth. AFAIK this is the most exact map, if you want to be scrupulous in Scanderbeg campaigns geography. Regards Aigest (talk) 23:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I use MSPaint and GIMP. MSPaint is for simple maps (it doesn't have many options) while for the more complicated maps you should use GIMP. IMO it is better for you, if you stick to GIMP, using it even on simple maps (that will give you the needed experience). GIMP is free and you can find many GIMP tutorials online on different techniques. Regards Aigest (talk) 08:15, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are Adabow (submissions) (Pool A, 189 points) and PresN (submissions) (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on Thatgamecompany related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article (White-bellied Sea Eagle, from Casliber (submissions)) and two featured lists (Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, from PresN and Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album, from Another Believer (submissions)). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition. On an unrelated note, preparation will be beginning soon for next year's WikiCup- watch this space!
There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there.

The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:
Casliber (submissions), Pool A's winner. Casliber has the highest total score in the competition, with 1528, the bulk of which is made up of 8 featured articles. He has the highest number of total featured articles (8, 1 of which was eligible for double points) and total did you knows (72) of any finalist. Casliber writes mostly on biology, including ornithology, botany and mycology.
PresN (submissions), Pool B's winner and the highest scorer this round. PresN is the only finalist who has scored featured topic points, and he has gathered an impressive 330, but most of his points come from his 4 featured articles, one of which scored double. PresN writes mostly on video games and the Hugo Awards.
Hurricanehink (submissions), Pool A's runner-up. Hurricanehink's points are mostly from his 30 good articles, more than any other finalist, and he is also the only finalist to score good topic points. Hurricanehink, as his name suggests, writes mostly on meteorology.
Wizardman (submissions), Pool B's runner-up. Wizardman has completed 86 good article reviews, more than any other finalist, but most of his points come from his 2 featured articles. Wizardman writes mostly on American sport, especially baseball.
Miyagawa (submissions), the "fastest loser" (Pool A). Miyagawa has written 3 featured lists, one of which was awarded double points, more than any other finalist, but he was awarded points mostly for his 68 did you knows. Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, including dogs, military history and sport.
Resolute (submissions), the second "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Resolute's points come from his 9 good articles. He writes mostly on Canadian topics, including ice hockey.
Yellow Evan (submissions), who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool A). Most of Evan's points come from his 10 good articles, and he writes mostly on meteorology.
Sp33dyphil (submissions), who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Phil's points come from his 9 good articles, 4 of which (more than any other finalist) were eligible for double points. He writes mostly on aeronautics.
In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha (talk·contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.
A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.
