Your submission at Articles for creation: Martin Di Maggio (April 29)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for academics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

not yet notable

June 2022[edit]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

The article is literally called 'Arberesh language'. I will change it over again and again. If you want to write about some dialect, go ahead and create an 'Arberesh dialect' article. -- Ftillimi (talk) 22:00, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor changed it back to variety with a link to Albanian dialects. Read WP:BRD, and learn the difference between a dialect/language variety and a language on its own. The name of the article needs to be corrected, thanks for pointing that out. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:09, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead with your defiance. Arberesh and Albanian are not mutually intelligible to a degree that it can be considered a dialect. Arberesh has its seperate language identifier that is used by Ethnologue, Glottolog, Multitree AND Wikipedia -- but I'm afraid this will not get into your head in 100 years. -- Ftillimi (talk) 22:19, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The important thing for me is that your non-sense in the article was undone by another editor. The rest is a waste of time. Ktrimi991 (talk) 23:25, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arbërisht/Arbëresh can't be referred to as "a dialect of Albanian", because it is a subdialect of the Tosk dialect of Albanian, hence the correct description is "a variety of Albanian", as indicated by many sources (google books). It is not a language of its own, the name of the article should be changed to Arbëresh (many sources use "Arbëresh Albanian", but for Albanian speakers this would result redundant). – Βατο (talk) 11:12, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, Bato. It is commonly referred to as a dialect, but it actually is part of the Tosk dialect. In any case, it is not a language on its own - frankly, I never expected to see such frivolous claims. Ktrimi991 (talk) 11:20, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Frivolous claims" says the guy who has apparently never engaged in a conversation in everyday Modern Arberesh. Get a load of this and call it a day my friend. You are not doing the Arberesh a service by downgrading their language to a dialect. -- Ftillimi (talk) 11:25, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia uses the terms dialect and language in a strictly genealogical and relational manner. Tosk, Gheg, Arbëresh and every other Albanian variety is called a dialect. The argument which you're proposing is a sociolinguistic one which by itself is correct as there is no linguistic hierarchy between varieties of any language. All dialects are "Albanian languages". But wikipedia doesn't discuss sociolinguistic aspects or Weinreich's absolutely correct proposition that a standard language = dialect chosen as the linguistic vehicle for the purpose of state building.--Maleschreiber (talk) 23:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ftillimi on Wikipedia, please do not make projections or insults to users per WP:CIVIL. Being non productive can affect your account, I hope you understood, Best Regards! Surix321 (talk) 17:28, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please note these special rules for editing Eastern Europe and the Balkans[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. Dr. K. 03:50, 23 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Deletion discussion about Endri Shabani[edit]

Hello Ftillimi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Endri Shabani, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Endri Shabani.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Vanderwaalforces}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Nisma Thurje politicians[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:Nisma Thurje politicians indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:20, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
