Albania under Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires and not under Roman, Venetian and Ottoman Empires?

[edit]

From some reason Roman Empire, Venetian Empire and Ottoman Empire are excluded from the list of Empires that Albania was under. There is list of empires that Albania was under:

  1. Albania under the Byzantine Empire
  2. Albania under the Bulgarian Empire
  3. Albania under the Serbian Empire

And from some reason there are three empires that are excluded from this list of empires that Albania was under. One is Roman Empire, second is Venetian Empire and other is Ottoman Empire. From some reason periods when Roman Empire, Venetians or Ottoman Empire controlled territory that today belongs to Albania were named differently:

  1. Illyricum (Roman province)
  2. Venetian Albania
  3. Ottoman Albania

What is the reason for such different treatment of Empires? Maybe using term under is against NPOV and can suggest that Albania had special subordinate treatment in Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empire and not in Roman, Venetian or Ottoman Empire? Maybe it would be good to rename those articles to:

  1. Roman Albania
  2. Bulgarian Albania
  3. Serbian Albania

or:

  1. Albania under the Roman Empire
  2. Albania under the Venetian Empire
  3. Albania under the Ottoman Empire
