@Arberian2444: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 00:52, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
@Z1720: Hello! Sorry I’m currently not by my computer. The article does not need to cite that source! Arberian2444 (talk) 23:40, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- @IceWelder: removed that source, take another look? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 06:58, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

@Arberian2444, Z1720, and Theleekycauldron: The source was removed but the sentence remains intact. However, it appears the sentence's content is not unverified. The cited page of the other ref (the book is on JSTOR) only shows a family tree and I couldn't find any info on Albanian history in the page's immediate vicinity. This should probably be addressed first. IceWelder [✉] 09:09, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

@IceWelder: I added another source which stated the years she ruled starting at 1348 when her father passed. I also added background information on why she inherited due to being the eldest surviving child out of all her siblings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arberian2444 (talk • contribs) 02:28, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Sure, that works for me. IceWelder [✉] 07:28, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
