Multiple issues

[edit]
  1. Was Oso Kuka military commander of Ottoman Empire or Albania? The article contradict itself. The lede says he was "an Albanian military commander" while the main body of the article says that he was an Ottoman border guard "Oso Kuka was a border guard in the Ottoman-Montenegrin border".
  2. How could Oso Kuka be "an early proponent of the Albanian National Awakening" if Albanian National Awakening began in 1870, years after he killed himself?
  3. Same goes for category of Activists of the Rilindja Kombëtare?
  4. Why are soldiers of Montenergrin Army are referred to as "enemy soldiers"? Is it according to NPOV?
  5. I am concerned about the reliability of the first source used in this article. Here is a quote "Oso u dogj i gjallë për të mos lënë këmbë serbi të shkelë në tokën amtare, e për të mos iu dorëzuar barbarëve armiq të përjetshëm të popullit e kombit tonë." (Machine translation: "Oso was burnt alive for not letting Serb foot breach in the native land, not succumbing barbarians eternal enemies of the people of our nation."
  6. Oso Kuka came to Vranjina with 24 men. He found 8,000 Montenegrin soldiers had been besieging the fort of Vranina. How could he break trough 8,000 soldiers and enter the fort to defend one of its towers? Maybe it would be better to clarify that this details are found in epic poetry, like Robert Elsie explained. "Oso Kuka who is described as having supernatural powers...." (page 263 of A Biographical Dictionary of Albanian History".
  7. It might be a good idea to double check the assertion about Abdi Pasha. Per above work of Robert Elsie Osman Kuka was not connected with revolt against Abdi Pasha (Abdul Kerim Pasha). He actually served Ottoman commander whose name was Abdi Pasha Cerkezi.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:44, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
