Arrian Anabasis Book 1a,"But G laucias, king of the Taulantians, had not yet joined him. Alexander, however, led his forces towards the city; and the enemy, after sacrificing three boys, an equal number of girls, and three black rams, sallied forth"

Albanian name?

[edit]

PowerlockeDurim: Please make yourself acquainted with WP:BRD: When your Bold edit here was Reverted here, your next step should be to start a Discussion in the talk page. Please also read WP:CONSENSUS and WP:EDITWAR. I have reverted back to the current consensus version and started the discussion for you.

Your argument that the Albanian variant is relevant due to the language is used by the people located in this area is not a valid reason. By that logic, we would have to add the modern Turkish name "Miletli Thales" to the article about Thales of Miletus, since he was from a town now in Turkey; Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, born in Thessaloníki, would have to be named also as "Μουσταφά Κεμάλ Ατατούρκ"; Cleopatra would need the Arabic name "كليوباترا"; etc.

In Wikipedia, we follow the usage of reliable sources in English, see WP:RS. If you can show that reliable English-language sources mention the modern Albanian version of the name, it will be added. If not, it stays out. --T*U (talk) 05:43, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
