DYK for Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party

On October 11, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) 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 saw that you referenced Enver Hoxha pretty well about the origins of his last name. Do you speak Albanian? Would you also consider helping me cover some topics on Communist Albania? I think that they are not given enough coverage in Wikipedia, although I'm trying through the creation of these articles:

• National Theatre of Opera and Ballet of Albania
• Academy of Music and Arts of Albania
• People's Artist of Albania
• Civil awards and decorations of Albania
• Merited Artist of Albania
• Politburo of the Party of Labour of Albania
• Hero of Socialist Labour (Albania)
• Albanian League of Writers and Artists

Is there anything in your mind that has a priority to be covered for Communist Albania topics? Thank you! --Sulmues _talk 16:07, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

You have created many articles on the Communist Parties and I noticed your interest to represent in Wikipedia Enver Hoxha and other communist subjects. You have created Zeri i popullit and Zai Fundo articles and I heartly thank you for doing that. In general this shows a very good preparation on the subject. I have an interest in better representing Communist Albania as it is poorly represented. For instance the article Politburo of the Party of Labour of Albania that I have created is extremely poor, because many of the members of the politburo have not published much on their own, and there are very few sources on them. However these people governed Albania for 50 years. Mind you it was full government as everything was State owned. They governed politically and economically. They had incredible power. Per Wikipedia they fullfill wp:politician, still many of them don't have an article.

My question to you is this: What are, in your opinion, the areas of Communist Albania that could be better represented in Wikipedia? Would you be able to give me three areas of priority? I praise your opinion in the matter. --Sulmues _talk 18:08, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Nakhchivan autonomy

Nakhchivan has remained autonomous because the region has a military defense pact with neighboring Turkey. Thats why Armenia was unable to invade Nakhchivan eventhough it wanted to. Due to geopolitical reasons its risky for Azerbaijan to have a direct defense pact with Turkey (as this will effect the balance with Russia). Thats why Nakhchivan remain autonomous so it can actually have that pact - eventhough the Azerbaijani mainland doesnt have that pact. Neftchi (talk) 09:42, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

1940-1990 publications

The legal base for author rights is Law no 9380, date 28.4.2005 "On author rights and other rights related to it" Returning before 1990 publications, although they are published by editing houses which do not exist anymore eg " 8 Nëntori Publishing House", the articles, photos etc are created by real people. These peoples are considered authors and hold the author rights for their works. However in case the article or photo has no name or uses a nick name the author rights on that, belong to the publishing house as long as the author does not reveal himself:

1. Law no 9380, date 28.4.2005 "On author rights and other rights related to it" Article 5 paragraph 2 "Në rastet kur vepra është shfaqur anonim ose me pseudonim përpara publikut, gjë që nuk lejon identifikimin e autorit, e drejta e autorit do të ushtrohet nga personi fizik a juridik, që është përgjegjës për shfaqjen e veprës në publik, për aq kohë sa autori nuk e zbulon identitetin."

So if the publishing house does not exist anymore and has left no legal descendant entity, there is a gap not covered by the law, if the author of the article has not revealed himself. Aigest (talk) 09:13, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Albanian parliamentary election, 1945

I noticed that you redirected this existing article to Albanian Constituent Assembly election, 1945, which you have created today. However, I have reverted largely on the basis that you should have moved the existing article, not created a new one, but also because it was not a Constituent Assembly election according to Nohlen & Stöver (in your new version it referenced this fact to the book, which is incorrect). If you would like to retitle the article, please use the WP:RM process. Cheers, Number 57 18:32, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

PS, I have added your recent edits to the CA article to the parliamentary one, so your recent work was not lost. Number 57 18:37, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Your source claims it was a parliamentary election, but that's quite odd considering that there was no parliament nor even a constitution at that point. Albanian sources certainly don't class it as a parliamentary election. In any case I'll try to bring it up at WP:RM. --Mrdie (talk) 18:42, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

It is a reliable source written by respected election and electoral system experts, so based on this I've opposed the move. However, I won't be too bothered if the move is eventually made based on good arguments. Cheers, Number 57 19:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Hoxha article

The Human Rights section for the Hoxha article is highly POV primarily because it does not consider the work of Albanian authors and their positive assessments of the state of human rights during socialist Albania, particularly with respect to the principles found in the Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights covenant. The work of Albanians about the state of human rights should be added to the section. What do you think? SadSwanSong (talk) 06:46, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Omer Nishani

Ismail yesterday I saw in a documentary for Enver Hoxha in Klan TV of the journalist Blendi Fevziu. According a dossier of Ministry of Interior of Albania the legal the coroner wrote that Nishani was suicide. Albanian dictator Hoxha probably wanted to hide that fact. Maybe in the book wrote by Fevziu for Hoxha is publish the document of Ministry. Irvi Hyka (talk) 11:38, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello Ismail! I found something about this. Mapo published an article by Prof.As.Dr. Gjergj P.TITANI: Prof. Titani published a biography of Omer Nishani. Tatani said in the article that Nishani was suicide according a document of Ministry of Interior of the People's Republic of Albania on 26 May 1954 he was suicide because Enver Hoxha humiliated he.[1] Another Professor Kastriot Dervishi published an similar article.[2] Irvi Hyka (talk) 18:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC

Citation sorting

My pleasure. I was concerned that you might be annoyed that I had changed to a different citation style. I find this style works well when most of the sources are books. You article on Trade Unions of Albania is very interesting. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:47, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

If you look at template:cite book you can see the parameters for a template that defines a cited book. I always use this template (or others like template:cite journal or template:cite web) because they automatically put the different bits of information into the right format. template:sfn gives a way to easily make a reference and footnote that link to the cited source, thus:

Displays as:

The trick here is that the "cite book" template includes "|ref=harv" which tells the template to make a footnote from the author's last name and the year of the book, e.g. "Smith 2009", and link it to the book definition. That may not always be possible, because the author's name and/or publication year may be unknown, in which case you can tell the template what name to use for the footnote, as in |ref={{harvid|Norwegian Blue}}

Enough! You just have to explore and experiment. Hope this helps. Aymatth2 (talk) 18:02, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Footnotes that include citations are a bit tricky. They can be done like this:

which displays as:

{{tag:ref |text... |group=fn}} tells the software to place "text..." in a special reflist called "fn" instead of in the default reflist. (<ref group="fn">text...</ref> does that too, but does not allow the text to hold citations.) Further down, the special reflist is identified by {{reflist |group="fn"}}.

Note that on the second reflist, colwidth=30em. Often you could get a good visual appearance with narrower columns, 20em or even 15em. Don't. Many editors never use any templates at all. They will stick in unformatted "bare url" footnotes like <ref>http://www.cyberarchi.com/actus&dossiers/portraits/index.php?dossier=81&article=3076</ref>. A width of 30em gives some room for that. Note also {{refbegin}} ... {{refend}} around the source definitions. This just says that the text should be the same size as in a reflist, which looks better.

You now know everything I know about citations and footnotes.  :~) Aymatth2 (talk) 13:26, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

DYK for Trade Unions of Albania

Qamili

Feel free to change article and hook. I have known you long enough to rely on your intellectual honesty and I personally don't know that piece of history very well as it was carefully obscured in my school history books. Mesfushor (talk)

The Soviet-Albanian Split is way more important in history than the Sino-Albanian split. I'm sure you'll do a splendid job. Mesfushor (talk) 18:19, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I had quitted Wikipedia one more time, but it was the impressive work of yours (Soviet-Albanian Split), that brought me back. That's pure Good Article material. I suggest you nominate it and I will help to get it to GA status. Bolerodancer (talk) 23:49, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree. Make sure to come up with a good hook and nominate it for DYK too. As far as GA goes, the only general thing I'm seeing is that some of the quotes should be rewritten into prose - putting in quotes as the article does is often done in academic writing but in an encyclopedia it should be reworded (and still attributed). Of course having some quotes in there is perfectly fine.

I'm doing a bit of traveling right now, so my internet access is a bit sketchy but I'll try looking over the article in more detail as soon as I can.VolunteerMarek 00:02, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Marek. Agreed: it's actually the only thing that will give problems in GA (too many citations). Everything else is perfect. In order not to lose those citations, let's keep the Harvard style refs, but let's just rewrite the content in other words, and put the citations close to the references. This way the article itself will be a little shorter, but the citations won't be lost, as they are fundamental. This is a practice that user:Antidiskriminator uses heavily, and, although the reference area won't be as clean as it is now, it actually makes the article solid from a verifiability standpoint. Look for instance at this article. We can do something similar. Bolerodancer (talk) 00:19, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
