Article name

[edit]

Listen, my dear friend. If article name is Đakovica, then everywhere same name should be used. Your removal of that name is against the Wikipedia rules, and will be reverted. Please, be careful, this kind of editing is banned under ARBMAC restriction. Please, revert your self. --WhiteWriterspeaks 20:16, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, it's not clear to me why you are citing that policy, please explain. I'll move the article under Gjakova Airport name then. Arianit (talk) 20:44, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh, no, no, that is not the way to move article. You must use requested move template, and gain community consensus. Also, town name on wiki is Đakovica, so that is the reason to call airport the same. --WhiteWriterspeaks 21:27, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to do such a edits, you must first use talk page, and gain consensus. --WhiteWriterspeaks 21:28, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Serbia in role with army

[edit]

Hello Arianit. I don't intend to make changes to your contributions but I would like to point out that I have no intention of misleading anybody - quite the contrary, I only ever wished to spell out the full facts. The Military of Serbia and Montenegro would be the relevant link to any army activity in Serbia from 1992 to 2006, and at the time in question it was called Vojska Jugoslavije (VJ), I trust you know what that translates to. If we were talking police then it is a fact that Serbia and Montenegro had separate interior ministries but army units comprised people from all over the land. There are many publishers that peddle the myth that Montenegro was not part of it. This is wrong in two ways: first, even if its local authority did all it could to sabotage proceedings, it would still have been a central venture from the top; secondly, whilst battling NATO, the navy was engaged, and the idea that this can be 'Serb' is preposterous. Either way, I like the rest of your contributions so I hope the article remains as it is. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 21:32, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

War crimes related to killings and abductions to a large degree were committed by Serb police and paramilitary forces while VJ only had a supporting role when it came to ethnic cleansing. Nonetheless, I see concerted efforts to portray every negative Serb conduct in Kosovo as Yugoslav. There is ample evidence that Montenegro stayed out of the war via a silent agreement between Montenegrin leadership and NATO, with the unfortunate fact that they shared an army with Serbia, although that was only formally and for all intents and purposes Serbia run the war. --Arianit (talk) 07:32, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For your information, Montenegro's federal administration was not all powerful and the army was banded from all corners. Like I said, in the war with NATO the navy was engaged and Serbia is landlocked. If you are using the term "troops" then it is army. Anything else is linked to police. Furthermore, it is your lobby POV-pushing (tarnishing the Serbian name) and playing a game of denialism when you know that on Wikipedia our task is to be precise, so even if there was a distinct Serb not Yugoslav scheme then your editing will need to raise its game because the contributor has the task of revealing the facts concerning sovereignty. Also, Montenegro keeping to one side does not promote the remaining faction as Serb army because that is mere WP:SYNTH. The officers continued to wear VJ gear, took their orders from the top, and head of government in 1999 was a Montenegrin. QED. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 18:04, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Newborn monument

[edit]

I would like to nominate this article you started for the WP:DYK column. The 'hook' would go:

(Did you know) ... that the Newborn monument was unveiled upon the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence?

Feel free to change this 'hook'.

I have been working to reference and tidy up the article. The reference links I added need to be formatted better or it won't be accepted, and I'm afraid I don't know how to do this part. We have 5 days to nominate it from when you posted it into the mainspace.- Gilliam (talk) 08:38, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gilliam, thanks for your help. To format references use "Cite" button on the upper right corner of the toolbar and then in the "Templates" dropdown select "cite web" or whichever is applicable. You may also use ProveIT. I already did them on Newborn monument. Thanks! --Arianit (talk) 09:01, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It would probably be better if you self-nominate it at Template talk:Did you know. (Follow the instructions at the top of the page.) I have already nominated several articles this week, and they know me there by now. Please let me know how this goes.- Gilliam (talk) 09:29, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And thank you for the referencing tips. It is already a big help.Gilliam (talk) 10:33, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good news! Newborn Monument has been selected for Did You Know? See the queue at WP:DYK/Q to see when this article will appear on the front page.- Gilliam (talk) 12:34, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! Many thanks for all your work. Arianit (talk) 15:38, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

POV pushing

[edit]

Can you read English? Which part of the following sentence do you struggle to understand? I will have it translated for you.

  • Serbian police and paramilitaries, as well as soldiers of the Yugoslav Army (VJ) pulled men from refugee convoys at a checkpoint in Meja and their families were ordered to proceed to Albania.

"Forces" is a vague term. Don't pretend you don't know this. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 14:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please see the sources. I understand that identifying the particular units would be ideal but that's not always possible. Understandably, the witnesses could only tell the type of forces involved, as identified by the uniforms worn. --Arianit (talk) 14:39, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We know it was the full range of security, VJ, MUP plus paramilitaries (Serbian). This is why we should either have Yugoslav for forces, or write out the entire passage and this already exists on the following line. If the uniform could be identified as police or if it had the Arkan Tigers insignia, then it is fine for "Serb" but this can be backed up with the relevant unit. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 14:59, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, sorry I was unaware of the Talk page discussion on Forces under article. Left my comment there. --Arianit (talk) 15:26, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dubrava Prison Massacre, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Albanian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

GoogleTrans gadget can do machine translation on Content Translation system

Hi there,

You can try the new Content Translation feature of the GoogleTrans gadget which does do Albanian with 90 other languages. I've used the GoogleTrans gadget to translate 24 french wikipedia articles to the enwiki. Help on this feature is at: [[2]]

If you like the Yandex Translation engine then you can use the version of the gadget, called YandexTrans, that uses the Yandex translation engine. It's user interface is exactly the same as the GoogleTrans gadget and help for this is at [[3]]

Kosovo/Serbia

[edit]

There is a consensus not to use Kosovo/Serbia in articles but to use just Kosovo with the note. Please stop removing the note from articles explaining the situation regarding Kosovo. Thank you. FkpCascais (talk) 20:45, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the documentation: Template:Kosovo-note. Wikipedia has a policy of Wikipedia:NPOV meaning in such cases avoids taking sides. What you are doing is writing the articles in a way that presents Kosovo as an independent country, and that ends up being as correct as saying "disputed Serbian province of Kosovo" so instead of having an edit-war between this two views on the problem of Kosovo, a solution was found by using the template. Another issue is that you are engaging yourself in Wikipedia:Edit-warring. The template was there in the articles, you were bold by removing it, you were reverted, by Wikipedia policy of Wikipedia:BRD you are the one who needs to stop reverting and engage in talk and consensus building. FkpCascais (talk) 20:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I believe using the current solution of the Kosovo note leaves you in advantage, because basically recomends writing Kosovo in context as independent country, with just adding the note which is at bottom of the article. Honestly, knowing the general public reading habits, most dont read the note at all. FkpCascais (talk) 21:03, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not stating it either way. Kosovo is a geographic area, do you agree? I'm not stating anything on political organization. I agree with you on using the note where such political bickering becomes a problem but sports federations and other such topics are not relevant to status of Kosovo and are apolitical. Stop making them so. Cheers! --Arianit (talk) 19:03, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Arianit: see rejected sports membership applications; the status of Kosovo is relevant in these topics as well.--Zoupan 23:00, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, I do not agree, Kosovo in that context is clearly not used as geographical area. Whatever the topic of some article is, when Kosovo is mentioned as country it needs to go with the note. FkpCascais (talk) 00:29, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Copies of drafts

[edit]

May I ask why you created 10 identical copies of an unreferenced short draft on Pristina in your userspace in 2013, when the actual article was referenced and longer (perfectly fine)? A bit strange. I suggest you tag them with {{db-u1}}.--Zoupan 22:56, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Northamerica1000: I saw you active in MfD; how do I list all the above at once?--Zoupan 05:28, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi: Actually, as it appears you have created and been the only significant contributor to these pages, you can add {{Db-author}} atop the pages to nominate them for speedy deletion per WP:G7. North America1000 09:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And another one, User:Arianit/sandbox/Prishtina22, why? @Northamerica1000: these are not my work. None of the drafts give any improvement to the existing articles.--Zoupan 01:53, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Zoupan: Oops, I overlooked who created them... You can just nominate one for deletion and then add on the rest, with a statement such as "also nominating the following pages" and then listing the additional pages in a bulleted list. If you do this, you have to be sure to add the {{mfd}} template atop each nominated page, and be sure it links to the proper discussion. North America1000 02:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adem Jashari

[edit]

Hi, you seem to be working in conjuction with User:23 editor in a strategy that pushes new users away. I understand you are Serb, and I am Albanian. All my edits are based on foreign verifiable sources, including fixing ones that have been misrepresented, I believe intentionally. If you find otherwise, please question them individually and I'll be happy to discuss. Otherwise wholesale revert of my work is extremely aggressive behaviour and will be challenged. --Arianit (talk) 20:10, 6 March 2016 (UTC) —moved from my talk page.--Zoupan 20:52, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Arianit: You use the talk page, and include these foreign verifiable sources, prove that references have been misrepresented, instead of stating it without backing it up. I don't care who or what you are, (intentional) disruptive editing, as clearly seen in your revision (removing RS, POV) is obviously not going to go unchallenged. You need to understand that it is your revision that is otherwise.--Zoupan 20:52, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Badwords and informal words segregation in Albanian

[edit]

Hi Arianit,

Can you goto https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168369 and see if you can help in segregating a list of about 250 words in Albanian into badwords and informal words. We need these lists to help build damaging and goodfaith models for Albanian Wikipedia.

A good way to do that would be to edit the page and simply copy the generated list to badwords and informal words and remove the words that do not fall in the respective category.

Your help is much appreciated! Let me know or leave a comment on the task itself in case of any issue.-Thanks! Sumit —Preceding undated comment added 14:03, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kino Lumbardhi moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Kino Lumbardhi, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~StyyxTalk? 21:58, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Rame Lahaj, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

A tag has been placed on Rame Lahaj requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.ramelahaj.com/rliof and https://crescendiartists.com/portfolio/rame-lahaj/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Information icon

Hello Arianit. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Arianit. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Arianit|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Seraphimblade Talk to me 20:49, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Seraphimblade, this is a baseless allegation. I haven't been paid by anyone ever in any form to edit Wikipedia. Arianit (talk) 11:35, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I should mention that I mentor newbies with our Albanian Language User Group. Sometimes I post articles for the participants during our editathons so they get the satisfaction from them going live. I will be more careful with this. Arianit (talk) 13:01, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please be much more careful with this. You have put in two heavily promotional articles which contained a bunch of copyright violations. In the future, it would be much better if those you are mentoring used their own account to post articles (preferably going through the draft process first), but if you choose to do so on their behalf, you take full responsibility for what is in them, so you would be responsible to ensure that there is no copying and no promotion. Repeatedly creating inappropriate articles is disruptive and wasteful of other editors' time. Seraphimblade Talk to me 16:35, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
