Placenames in Kosovo

[edit]

Hi Edvini :-) Please, before making or discussing changes to the names used in all Kosovo-related topics, take the time to carefully review our general naming conventions and the specific ones on geographic names, using English & settlements.

In short, they ask us to reflect common English usage (which will often be a local name, or one of them; but not always), because those are the forms our intended readership of English speakers would most easily recognize.

Furhtermore, for the specific purposes of name usage in the English Wikipedia, the language and usages of the population of Kosovo, Serbia or China are simply irrelevant. Local usage only becomes important as a tie-breaker of sorts when there's no common English usage at all. This is not often the case of Kosovo-related articles, for there was a significant amount of literature and printed material on it even before the 1999 war, and there is much, much more since 1999.

For a number of historical reasons, the English language has adopted the Serbian forms. We merely restrict ourselves to reflect this usage. Wikipedia is not a venue to advocate the adoption of the Albanian names by the English language.

Bear in mind that Wikipedia is descriptive, not prescriptive. We cannot declare what an English usage should be or will be, only what it currently is.

The names we use in the English Wikipedia will be modified only if the English usage itself changes to something else, or if our current naming conventions themselves are amended to "reflect local usage instead of English one".

If you want to change the current naming conventions of the English Wikipedia, you're free to propose your desired modifications at the appropriate talk page (for example, at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions :-) However, while the current conventions remain in place, they should be respected: they are an official policy of the English Wikipedia.

Of course, I can imagine that Kosovo's declaration of independence may well induce a change in English usages, with the Serbo-Croatian names being phased out and the Albanian ones adopted. If/when that happens, the English Wikipedia should reflect that change, but not before.

If after carefully reading the naming conventions you still have any doubts on this topic, don't hesitate to ask me about it :-) To keep discussions coherent, I would appreciate if you could post any answer here, in your talk page, please. I will see your post :-) Best regards, Ev (talk) 18:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Partition of Albania for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Partition of Albania is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Partition of Albania until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Athenean (talk) 22:58, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added some references to your article, Partition of Albania. Thanks for writing it in the Albanian Wikipedia: that's how I saw it, and then I noticed that there was one in the English Wikipedia too. I also noticed that it has been nominated for deletion: that's unfortunate, but how does that work? Who makes a decision? T'bojnomin (talk) 11:23, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mother Teresa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Albanian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Possible

[edit]

Keep in mind that it is also suspicous that User:SilentResident is operated by User:Athenean. What kind of smart guys, this will never be detected. The one always keep complaining to the other for some events. Unlike Alexikoia and TU, those two do not edit the same articles that often, but this may be intensously. Probably a lobby of Greek accounts in Wiki like La Piovra? --45.33.130.46 (talk) 11:03, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are saying that I am a sockpuppet of the user Athenian? What a coincidence, because 2 months ago I received another such accusation, at my very own talk page! I have had it enough, I am going now to bring this matter to the administrator's attention. --SilentResident (talk) 14:32, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A proxy check request has been filled by administrators against 45.33.130.46, at WP:OP, at my request. --SilentResident (talk) 17:51, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:56, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ndihme mbi artikuj per Shqiptare neper bote

[edit]

Kam nevoje per ndihmen e dikujt qe kupton proceset e wikipedia me mire se une. Gjeta faqen WikiProjects Albania dhe pashe qe jeni pjestar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleni_Foureira https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermal_Meta

Kto dy kengetare do perfaqsojne Qipron dhe Italine respektivisht ne Eurovision 2018 dhe jane me prejardhje nga Fieri. Te lindur ne Shqiperi. Ne momentin qe u shpallen fitues te vendeve te tyre respektive, ja hoqen prejardhjen shqiptare nga pershkrimi nga perdorues anti-shqiptar ne Wikipedia.

Komenti respektiv i fshehur karshi origjines ne background eshte Eshte teper rraciste te thuash qe nje person i lindur ne Shqiperi, dmth shtetas shqiptar, te quhet nje Shqiptar etnik.

Wiki users qe po bejne kto ndryshime jane Alexikoua (ngjan nacionalist grek duke pare ndryshimet qe ben ne menyre konstante) dhe Jjj1238

U bllokova nga nje admisistrator i Wikipedia per 1 jave sepse po beja ndryshime tek te dyja faqet. S'di c'te bej por sdua ta le kete pune me kaq sepse eshte turp te mos mbrojme identitetin e bashkeatdhetarve tane.

Nese nuk ndihmon dot per kete ceshtje, te lutem me drejto te ndonje perdorues qe mundet. Faleminderit. Talksensenow (talk) 18:09, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
