Welcome Albaniafutboll
[edit]Hello. I noteced some fine contributions that you made regarding Albanian and Kosovar football. I just want to tell you that despite being Serbian I do want to make an effort to improve as possible everything regarding Kosovar clubs here on en.wikipedia. But things haven´t been easy at all... I have been editing for some time about Yugoslav football history, and the Kosovar football articles have been extremely difficult because of the two nationalistic sides allways removing information of the other side. I try at least to keep on the history sections separated, so the full history is couvered, but after going away for a month or two editing other articles, when I come back I usually find that Kosovar Albanian editors removed everything regarding Yugoslav period, and Serbs everything regarding recent one... So my job has been difficult.
I appreciated a lot that you brough the information about the 1942 Albanian Superliga into the Kosovar club articles. I added the source, so you could just check if I did it right. Was that link to the sftirana.com website a copy of Besnik dizdari book? If so, I did it right, if not please correct me in the pages I put that, namelly in FC Prishtina, KF Liria and KF Besa. For me it will be very good to have an Albanian editor who would help me to expand, complete and keep those articles stable against vandals.
I noteced you mentioned that the article Shkumb i Kavajes should be named Shkëmb i Kavajës, is that correct? Do you want me to move it to that title?
And to finish, do you know any website where I can find all the clubs and players of the current Kosovo Superliga season? I think there was one some time ago (can´t remember the exact name) but I think they stoped updating them. Can you recomend me some? Best regards, FkpCascais (talk) 06:03, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hello FkpCascais and thanks for dropping by my talkpage. Believe me, I understand your frustrations. Your edits were correct for the FC Prishtina, KF Liria and KF Besa articles and their championship of 1942. Unfortunately the three war championships are still not recognized by the Albanian Federation of Football, a unique case in history. Mind you, in the history of the FSHF they are not even mentioned. Only the "Shprefeja" matches are mentioned see here, and the three championships are "forgotten", which is sad. There are dozens of contemporary publications on them: I mean it wasn't that long ago, actually there were more magazines and newspapers in Albania in 1942 then there were, say in 1982. Bottom line FSHF is, for some reason, trying to "cover the sun with a sieve", like we say in Albania. Dizdari has made a significant publication in a book from those sources, which is more than sufficient for a source, as he has been one of the most significant soccer journalist since the 1960s.
- Shkumb i Kavajes should be named Shkëmb i Kavajës, yes. If you could move it, that would be great, thanks!
- On the Kosovo Superliga: The official page is this. I don't see subpages on the teams with subsubpages on individual players though. Same for albaniasoccer.com (just a page on the individual teams, but not on the players (e.g. this is all you're gonna get on Ferronikeli). Footballdatabase and Soccerway should have more, but I guess you already have those. Sorry not to be of much help. Albaniafutboll (talk) 14:21, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- OK, I moved the page, now it is at Shkëmb i Kavajës. You can allways move pages by clicking in the "Move" option. It is right up next to the star where you also have the "Read", "Edit", "View history" options.
- Regarding the 1942 Albanian Superliga, technically, it is a bit similar case as with Serbian Football League (1940–1944) in which only has the first edition recognised by the FA, as it was still a qualifiying tournament to the final stage of the Yugoslav Fist League, the second edition never got to be finished, and the next 3 were championships of a quisling state. We also have the parallel in Croatia, with the 1940–41 Croatian First League and the seasons afterwords. The communist authorities in both Albania and Yugoslavia decided simply to ignore those championships afterwords, and I think Yugoslavia in this case got it even worste, as most of the clubs that participated in the league "under occupation" were disbanded (all major 4 except Hajduk Split).
- Regarding websites, thank you for helping me. Albaniasoccer.com must be the best, I just hoped you possibly knew some website I didn´t. Let me know if you find anything, and let me know whenever you need anything. :) I noteced the discussion regarding the Albanian Superliga being professional, I wish you all the best.

- Thanks. Sometimes I wish there could be another Balkan Cup after more than 30 years of nothing. Hopefully our contributions will assist that dream. Albaniafutboll (talk) 15:47, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
- I absolutelly share with you the dream. Having again the Balkan Cup is great idea. FkpCascais (talk) 07:42, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Radovan Filipović being deleted
[edit]Hello. I'm not sure why you have not been notified that a page that you had created in 2008 Radovan Filipović is now about to be deleted. I think it deserves to be in wikipedia, but you as creator might have some more input, to help us keep it. Could you please find some more sources? Thanks.

- Hi thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated. batobatobato (talk) 00:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
