Please, do not make reverts that look suspiciously like an edit war. The Greek version of the name is already in the infobox. Asking for consensus is not bad, if you don't want the page to look as if stating the obvious more than twice. I suggest you first discuss this on the talk page.

Hi. I see this edit has been supported by other editors in the past as well. As I mentioned already, Gjirokaster has a significant Greek minority, so Greek version should be part of the lead as well. 2A02:85F:F0C0:B90A:C78:1DCA:1E0D:F417 (talk) 00:44, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please, refrain from edit warring (WP:EW) or you will be blocked from editing. ShockedSkater (talk) 00:57, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are the one making the edit war here. If you have a different POV you should go to the talk page of the article, this is not the right place. Also, stop being involved with my edits, you will get reported. 2A02:85F:F0C0:B90A:C78:1DCA:1E0D:F417 (talk) 01:00, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Technically, both of you are edit warring, and discussing at user talk is ok before escalating. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:01, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't the WP:BRD cycle be respected? You made the bold edit to remove the claim and they reverted it and discussed with you. However, instead of continuing to discuss and maintaining the status quo, you restored the bold edit. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Probably but still, they are being involved with other edits of mine. And they do not provide any explanation as for their reverts, this is clearly disruptive. 2A02:85F:F0C0:B90A:C78:1DCA:1E0D:F417 (talk) 01:02, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My message was meant for them. ShockedSkater's edit was the bold edit. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:03, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Gjirokastra is also known with three other names, two of which ethnic. Should we incorporate all four of them in the lede, or should we just have a look at the infobox, at the right of the lede? And as a side note, you are here since... like 4 o'clock yesterday or something? ShockedSkater (talk) 01:17, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not your business how much time I spend on Wikipedia. And two names are just enough, the Albanian commonly used and the Greek one. The others go to the infobox. 2A02:85F:F0C0:B90A:C78:1DCA:1E0D:F417 (talk) 01:22, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You cannot judge an IP's edit history well as the person behind them may have switched networks, which happens kinda often.The town has 43,000 inhabitants.[79] Gjirokastër is home to an ethnic Greek community that according to Human Rights Watch numbered about 4,000 out of 30,000 in 1989,[80] although Greek spokesmen have claimed that up to 34% of the town is Greek.[81] Gjirokastër is considered a center of the Greek community in Albania.[11] A Greek consulate is in the town.[82] Other minorities are smaller numbers of Aromanians and Roma. No other ethnic group is listed as being more than these. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:28, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Gjirokastra, the city itself was not traditionally inhabited by ethnic Greeks, they inhabited adjacent Dropull for the simple reason it was inhabited by wealthy Muslim landowners. You see those big houses there? Exactly. Greeks inhabit Gjirokastra 'also', like an exception, settled maybe during Communist times, because the city was a closed-knit community. Or there are 'also' Greeks. So, adding the other Albanian name, Ergjëria, and the Greek name, would make a pretty mess. Greek villages and Vlach villages surround the city, if you care to research it on the internet. Beats me, Andon Poçi... I have to check. If you don't know anything about things Albanian, I suggest you ask someone who does. ShockedSkater (talk) 12:11, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
