A fact from Shtojzovalle appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 April 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in Albanian mythology, when people go for a walk and step on a shtojzovalle they may get devoured by it?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/April.

Can you clear this up for me:

How can a thing be beautiful and invisible? I think we need to explain how they are compatible, or if they are not 90.209.205.74 (talk) 20:08, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The same thing occurred to me. How can one be of "extraordinary beauty" yet be "invisible"? Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 20:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They are invisible to humans and a human can see them only if they lift an invisible veil in front of their eyes. Their beauty is verified by those who have seen them.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 20:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shtojzovalle, Albanian version of the sylphs.

Shtojzovalle are the Albanian equivalent of sylphs. That's at least what Yves Bonefoy claims in his 1993 dictionary (page 253). If that's the case, then the Sylphs' article lead needs to be reworked to point to point to the Albanian mythology. My 2 cents.--sulmues talk contributions 05:29, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
