Internal inconsistency

I noticed that the article is inconsistent regarding the information it gives about the battle that happened after the Ottoman relief force arrived. In the fifth paragraph, it states Skanderberg returned towards the end of the battle and repulsed the Ottoman forces: ''When Skanderbeg returned, however, the Ottoman relief force was repulsed'' however in the last paragraph it states that Skanderberg wasn't present in the battle at all and the Albanian army was beaten ''Skanderbeg himself was not at the battle... Upon hearing the news, he rushed back, but by the time of his arrival the battle was already over... The results at Berat were disastrous and badly crippled the Albanian resistance for a time''. In my edit I mostly left those parts alone to not risk editing out a correct piece of information, but I think it needs to be addressed. The sources I was able to find(from my last edit) are more aligned with the second narrative, however there might be others that I might have missed Cannotpick (talk) 17:39, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Due to a lack of responces for over a year, I decided to go ahead with editing the first of the paragraphs under the Battle section, as per the 4 sources I provided in my last edit. Considering the quantity and the quality of these sources are superior to the single source that's currently present in that paragraph, I do believe that the second narrative should be the one present in the article.
