The first map on the left which claims to show regios with a traditional presence of communities other than Albanian was widley been debunked and is inappropiate to show on this page, considering the page is intended to show minorities living withing the borders of the Republic of Albania in the present day. The map does not correlate to any ethnic map of Albania and is highly misleading, therefore I have tried to remove it, however it keeps getting put back. This map is simply inaccurate and inappropiate for the page in question, and sources are misleading. Here is an actual ethnic map based on traditional communities which can be used instead: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F4wvx33WoAAgtN5?format=jpg&name=900x900Ressa14457 (talk) 19:05, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is Wikipedia, not your personal blog. If you want to remove a map, you need consensus first. If you want to add a new map, you need a good source, not an anonymous account on X. TzCher (talk) 18:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When on Gods green earth did I turn into my personal blog?? Your map is inaccurate and misleading, on a page where people go to for information. Multiple sources debunk it. Ressa14457 (talk) 21:20, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, it's not my map. Secondly, if you have these "multiple sources", provide them, link them, suggest an inquiry, gather support for a consensus here on the talk page and then we can remove said map. Just removing it without any explanation or a source is vandalism. The "source" you shared is a random person on X sharing something with an unknown origin. It's preposterous. It's laughable. As I said, this is Wikipedia, there are rules here. TzCher (talk) 10:29, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am curious as to why you immediatley dismissed my previous source soley based on the fact that it was from X, if you had dug a little deeper you would find that the source is from the recent Albanian 2023 census which can be found here https://www.instat.gov.al/media/13581/cens-i-popullsise-2023.pdf
Furthermore, on the page, there are 3 maps, with one of them contradicting the other 2. The sources I provide back up the fact that Traditional areas of ethnic and linguistic minorities living in Albania is innacurate, its source is quite literally an ethnic map from 1918, which is funny.

None of these links are reliable sources, including the Wikipedia maps (you can't cross-source on Wikipedia). Please, familiarize yourself with what is considered a source on Wikipedia and what isn't.
The only actual source you've shared is the 2023 census, which is valid, but irrelevant to what the map shows - minorities who traditionally lived on the current territory of Albania around 100 years ago. TzCher (talk) 14:25, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
