cruciani versus battaglia team

In answer, I tend to take the side of Cruciani et al, who have worked with more and better data. The fact that Battaglia et al also essentially ignored the Cruciani data, or some of it, also does not give much strength to their argumentation.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 23:24, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Kingdom of Albania

The only thing I could think of is making a "History" section combining the sections "Background events" and "Establishment". Otherwise it looks good.--Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 14:50, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Pretty much, except I think the section should be titled "History" instead of "Establishment" since it deals its entire history instead of just its beginning. Several GA articles of medieval countries use "History"so we should use it too.--Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 14:59, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Ethnicity of the people

You are wrong about my interest in ethnicity.

I already knew about that hypothesis about Karađorđe.

Probably many Serbs (maybe even most of them) living in Serbia, Montenegro and Herzegovina have Albanian origin (and me also) and many Albanians living in Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo (maybe even most of them) probably have Serbian origin.

I am sure that you know that I can find numerous sources for that. The only problem is that it is mostly OR. For now.

Until situation changes we have no alternative than to follow wikipedia policies and to avoid OR and nationalistic misusing of ethnicity issues.

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.

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.

Illyrian royalty

Hello. User:Valeristemperec keeps inserting 'Greek history' categories to articles about Illyrian royalty (by his editing style I suspect he is a sockpuppet of the same user who goes by the names User:Plouton2, Aperitis25 and also probably (I have yet to request an investigation) Basstonic, and Kordax).

If anyone spell the time that everyone uses the worlds (or without diacritics) obscure and farfetched it' d be endless.

IE

Hi. How've you been ? I have been reading several articles about the Neolithic and Bronze Ages in S.E.E. I have concluded on this basis that PIE must have developed within the Balkans, and not "come from" southern Russia, but perhaps included southwestern parts of it. Specifically, it must have invloved the eastern Balkans-east Carpathian-NW Pontic corridor. Slovenski Volk (talk) 08:22, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, there is this [1] which is close to what I suggest. My arguements basically are archaeological, based on re-interpretations of the archaeological evidence for "Kurgan" invasions into Balkans and the decline of "Old World" Balkan Neolithic civilization. Simply, there is no evidence for any mass -migrations from the steppe into the Balkans, nor any 'elite dominance'. The Balkans was (a) more populated (b) far more developed c.f. the Don-Volga steppe region for either of the two scenarios. If PIE developed anywhere, it was in the Balkans. The break up of the Neolithic Balkan civilizations was multi-causal, many of which were internal yet global (eg shifts in ideology, settlement patterns, mortuary rituals and views on the role of the 'individual' and the afterlife) as well as external - rise of new metallurgical centres in the North Caucasus which broke the 'monopoly' of Balkan centres. Slovenski Volk (talk) 09:21, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

He suggests, after Sherratt, to move PIE 'homeland' more to NW Pontic area (ie Bulgaria - Moldavia) rather than its NE aspect (ie Caspian). Dates it to 3500 BC. There was differentiation of north PIE and south PIE. The north spread over Balkans and Russian steppe, the south into Aegean and Anatolia. As for greek, he argues that Mycenean Greek is basically a late PIE dialect which had borrowed heavily pre-Greek (Mediterranean) vocabulary from the original , non-Greek speakers in the Aegean.

As for before 3500 BC, then who knows. pre-PIE might have been spoken in Anatolia, or Balkans, or both. But certainly north-west Anatolia. However, the Neolithic Balkans was loosely populated, and not homogeneous, somewhat going against the 'wave of advance' from Anatolia. Therfore, no large movements of PIE could have come from there. If anything, Anatolia was the peripheral end of a PIE continuum. Its centre must have been the eastern Balkans / SEE (Moldavia-> Bulgaria)

On Albanian images of the 1940's-80's

I asked this question to another editor, but would you say that 1940's-80's Albanian books published by the state-owned 8 Nëntori Publishing House are, more or less, free of copyrights? I'd like to include their photos and such (they made a lot of coffee table books) in some articles. --Mrdie (talk) 07:45, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

HI

Many thanks , old friend. I hope youve been well. I have been recently reading about Balkan genetics, etc. You might want to read this article about Balkan language formations in late antiquity. [2] Obviously not mainstream, but he has interesting ideas about Albanian, Dacian, Slavic, etc Slovenski Volk (talk) 07:49, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Of course modern Macedonians descent, biologically speaking, from people that have always lived there for thousands of years, and not from "Slavs" in what is now Poland, or Ukraine. I think that is obvious. However, it doesn;t mean they are "ancient Macedonians" in the literal sense. The Ancient maceodnians disappeared when the Romans took over and (i) killed all their kings, (ii) started "Romanizing" everyone, thus changing the very fabric of society. Now, take that, and all the other admixtures of genes, language, culture and religion in the past 3000 years, and it is easy to see why both Greek and Maceodnian natioanlists are so stupid when they continuing to debate about who is 'really macedonian"

That paper by Sorin is too enthusiastic. I think he is for a start biased. Secondly, if Albanian and even Slavic descend, in some way from Thracian, then we should be able to use these anguages to decipher the various Thracian inscriptiosn which stull have, so far, eluded universal agreement as to what they actually mean. I think that, in antiquity, the balkans had a multitude of diferent languages and dialects, and large lables liek "Thracian" or "Illyrian" are meaningless. And yes, I;d have to agree that Romanians do not descend from "Romano-Dacians" , but from Latin -speacking VLachs/ Bulgars/ even Pechenegs stc who carved out their own political units in present-day ROmania some time during the Bulgarian Empires period. They were bilingual Slaivc and Romance, but chose to adapt Romance indifinitely as a way of distancing themselves from Bulgaria.

I hope to write a paper on genetics, but have been so busy with work, but at least all my research / references for it is almost done. Essentially, I will propose that the balkans, specifically, the area of the old Starcevo-Vincha-Kris-Cucuteni region is the "genetic homeland" of all Europe. Moreover, I will argue that, both, the predominantly "Palaeolithic" and the predominantly "Neolithic" schools of European descent are wrong (!) What's more, the conclusions presented even by well 'respected scholars on pulation genetics are, at best, overenthusiastic, and at worst, completely wrong Slovenski Volk (talk) 02:39, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

See [3]I have full PDF if you want Slovenski Volk (talk) 11:25, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

If you tell me (perhaps email my account) your personal email address ten I can attacj the PDF of the full article Slovenski Volk (talk) 08:39, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi , yes, I saw that study on ancient Polish mtDNA. Recently, there was ancient DNA exxtracted from 50 Romanian samples .Hopefully they can do some work closer to Macedonia and Albania !

A couple of other Albanian questions

Thanks very much for reviewing those words; I've taken them all out.

A few questions:

1. The same user corrected mështet "I support" to mbështet. Is this right?
2. He also added ulk as an archaic Albanian word for "wolf". Is this right?
3. Another user whose changes mostly look legit added vajzë "girl" as a cognate to *swesor- "sister". Do you have any idea if this is correct? Does this look reasonable in terms of known Albanian sound changes?

Help with the article Dassaretae

Hi Aigest,

I need help regarding an article Dassaretae which some Greek wikipedians constantly try to present as related to a Greek tribe rather than Illyrian, without giving any citations and without reading the existing ones.
Can you please have a look at it as well? I tried to provide as many references as I could and there are plenty, nevertheless this does not stop vandalizing. Their version article is wrong, actually is ridiculous, anti - historic. It is like stating than Scanderbeg was a Greek living in Kruje but not to be confused with an Albanian with the same name living contemporaneously somewhere there. This is the logic. They are inventing history.

Thanks Mondiad (talk) 21:21, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, there are two articles, one pointing to the Dassareti Illyrian tribe and one to the Dassaretae Greek (according to the article, Dassaretae were northern Kaonians, so because the Kaonians were Greek, the Dassaratae were Greek) tribe. The geography is somewhere between Berat and Korce. All the references I found point to the Illyrian tribe, meanwhile my Greek colleagues keep pointing to the Epirote (according to them, Greek) tribe with some non-existing references. There is not a single quotation.

There cannot be two different tribes, in the same area, in the same period, with the same name. Moreover, Strabo mentions only the Illyrians in his Geography, Illyria section, the Epirus section does not contain a single word on this fictional "Dassaretae" Greek tribe. I am used to seeing arguable facts on Wikipedia, but this overpasses all.

The issue is everytime I go and edit, with references, they keep reverting my edits, and they are always in unison, looks like they are always online and synchronized. That is why I wanted you to have a look on the article if you have a chance.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

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!

Ndihme mbi artikuj per Shqiptare neper bote

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) 18:02, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
