Really I don't understand the thought behind erasing the Dukes of Durrazzo. Byzantine, Latin or not, they held this title and this is recorded. Except you want to alter history. I did really deep research to find about Marino Valaresso (especially this because he was a papal appointed Duke of Durrazzo and was not clear if it was the pope himself or not) or Perenos or Nikiforos Bryennius and Basilakes and I feel very offended by your action.

There is a profound difference between a "Duke of Durazzo" as under the Angevins and a "doux of Dyrrhachium" under the Byzantines. The former is a title of nobility and implies rule over a feudal principality, the latter is a simple gubernatorial title. It is like mixing apples and oranges. Try a bit more assumption of good faith next time, instead of indignation and accusations of "altering history"... Constantine 21:26, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK. No problem. Then create a new article especially about Dyrrachium. It is not proper to delete the product of one's historical research. You just put the delete button without thinking that maybe the presence of some names dated at 12th century, in a list, can be the outcome of many days of someone's research. If the content is right or not let it to the talk of the second page to be judged. But trashing the content I think is inappropriate. Quantis (talk) 21:35, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is not my fault if the result of your research was placed in the wrong place. And IMO removing information that obviously does not belong in the article is not "trashing the content", it is fixing the article. If you feel offended by this action, then let me remind you what of the disclaimer included in every edit window: "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." It is not a personal indictment or targeted action against you, it merely sometimes happens that one's contribution, no matter how hard one researched it, is wrong or not detailed enough and gets superseded. That is the point of Wikipedia, nothing is set in stone. Anyhow, an article on the Theme of Dyrrhachium already exists. If you have the names of any Byzantine governors that have been left out, feel free to add them. Constantine 21:48, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I didn't know about the latter article. Poor page. It looks like an "orphan"... I will add the names there in time. Quantis (talk) 21:52, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
