WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   07:25, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Bazilika paleokristiane në Lin

Hello! There are two articles for the exact same cultural monument, and I do not understand this at all. I've been to Lin many times, I do have archaeological papers that I've read through, and there is only one basilica ruin in Lin which was built in the first half of the 6th century, then burnt down in the 8th century, and it is the one with the fabulous mosaic floor. That said, as I see. there are two articles for the same: Byzantine Church, Lin vs Paleochristian Church, Lin.

What makes me even more confused and I don't know how to sort this out is that it is the exact same situation on the Bulgarian Wikipedia: bg:Линска византийска църква vs bg:Линска базилика. And obviously there are two Wikidata records, too. How is it possible to merge the two? Pasztilla (talk) 18:33, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Regarding The region of Epirus

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that I think we need to work more on the pages concerning south albania. For example, there are countless books writing about the albanian schols there since the 17 century and no one mentions them there. Moreover, in the article of Epirus itself, the greek editors are portraying everything as if it was always greek and the Albanians stole their land, which is simply unacceptable! Do you also think we need to do more on these article, as to give a clearer view to everyone that our country is NOT what the neighbors portray it to be in many occasiosn? I hope we can do something about it.

Lastly, in the page of Epirus in itself, they on purpose do not include a german map of the time, showing the real demographics of the entire balkans at the time, with the excuse that the map is too big(which is utter bollocks) Can we also do something together to add that there too? No one should even think to lower our country and portray us like something we are not, especially when the pages concern our cities and regions. The map at stake is this one https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Balkans-ethnic_%281861%29.jpg and this should immediately be included in the page of Epirus. Please let's all together do something about this.

Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.26.41.112 (talk) 17:24, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

RfC on election/referendum naming format

Need help reviewing some drafts

Could somebody please look at:

These were all created within a few minutes of each other by an editor who has done nothing else. Much of the writing and sourcing is quite poor. Many of the sources are not in English, which adds the difficulty I have evaluating them. Is there anything here worth saving? -- RoySmith (talk) 03:17, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

RoySmith, the editor appears to be inexperienced. I think the article Battle of Bukovik has promise provided the editor gets some wp:secondary. The other three have some content which can be redistributed to other articles, but them existing in their own right does not suffice. Is it possible to return all those drafts to the editor (and place it in their sandbox) and tell them something similar as i have said here. Best.Resnjari (talk) 03:52, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:23, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Help needed

Hello fellow editors, members of wikiproject Albania.

I would appreciate your help with one issue that I think I found when I wrote an article about Kulen Vakuf massacre, a massacre of Muslims and Croats committed by Serb rebels in 1941. After I finished editing this article I realized there is one major and quite obvious mistake with it. I don't think there are major issues with following wikipedia policies. I think there is a mistake on major, conceptual level. To check if my perspective is right I deliberately asked several editors (members of WP Croatia, WP Bosnia and Herzegovina and WP Serbia), even those editors with whom I had numerous disputes in past (having different perspective than me), to check what they think about this article, but I have not received any confirmation or denial of my perception. Will you please be so kind to help me and give me your opinion about this article and if you think there is some major conceptual level issue with it? Best regards, --Antidiskriminator (talk) 18:39, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Make WikiProject Ottoman Empire a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Former countries?

Dear users of this WikiProject:

At Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Former_countries#Make_WikiProject_Ottoman_Empire_a_task_force_of_Wikipedia:WikiProject_Former_countries? I have left a proposal to convert Wikipedia:WikiProject Ottoman Empire into a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Former countries. I asked this project (as all or parts of this country was/were formerly in the Ottoman Empire) and several other projects to get further feedback. Please let me know if you have questions, comments, or objections.

Cem

Hello, everybody. Cem, an article under the scope of this wikiproject is one of the oldest unreviewed GA nominations at WP:GAN. A large factor that has kept it in that state is the fact that many sources are in Albanian. It'd be much appreciated if an editor active in this project, did the review. Thank you.--Maleschreiber (talk) 18:33, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Collaborative Project

Hello, everybody. I was thinking of ways for WP-Albania to function as a collaborative project for its topic area. A first step towards that direction might be to pick an article which members of the project could work on in order to expand and improve it substantially over a given period. Now, every collaborative project at its heart functions as a direct democracy, so I was thinking that several articles could be nominated and after a one-week voting period, we could choose the one which project members would improve over a one-month period. --Maleschreiber (talk) 17:37, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Article Re-Assessment?

Hey everyone,


I recently completed a major overhaul of the Sanjak of Dibra article, and its nearly completely rewritten. I added a lot of new information regarding its dissolution and the final days of Albania under Ottoman rule, and also reformatted the demographics data into a chart, along with other edits.

I have absolutely no connection to Albania and don't speak a word of the language, but I just happened to come across the article for the sanjak and something struck me to want to edit it. On the Wikiproject Albania/ Assessment page, there wasn't an area to request assessment, so I was wondering if anyone here would be able to take a look and maybe upgrade it from Start Class.


Thanks,

RM: Jemal Pasha Zogolli → Xhemal Pasha Zogu

An editor has requested for Jemal Pasha Zogolli to be moved to Xhemal Pasha Zogu. Since you had some involvement with Jemal Pasha Zogolli, you might want to participate in the move discussion (if you have not already done so).

Two editors agree on an alt proposal to move to Xhemal Pasha Zogolli but further input would assist in forming a clear consensus. Havelock Jones (talk) 08:21, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

About new article Fabian Barcata - name in Shqip?

Hi all,

While in the process of looking for references for this new article in Italian and English , I noticed that there might possibly a number of what would appear to be good references in Albanian.

Perhaps we could start off with this question: what is the person "Fabian Barcata" most commonly called in Albanian?

Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 11:10, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

I just added this page to this WikiProject after doing some copy edits, but I think that it would benefit from being renamed (see talk page). It would benefit from the attention of an Albanian speaker. -- asilvering (talk) 16:44, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

  • John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Balkan Latinity WikiProject

Hello, I've been thinking for a while of an idea for a new and certainly needed WikiProject. The Aromanians/Vlachs, Megleno-Romanians/Meglenites and Istro-Romanians/Ćiribirci are poorly known peoples in the Balkans, the only ones that are Romance-speaking apart of the Romanians. Tagging pages related to these with WikiProject templates can turn problematic, see this talk page for example [1], saturated with 7 different templates. I was thus thinking that giving them their own WikiProject could increase organization on Wikipedia about info on these peoples and increase their representation in the project, perhaps even attracting members of these groups into working at Wikipedia. The project could be split into three task forces for each of the three.

If you're interested, please ping me here or message me on my talk page. Expressing your interest in the existence of such a project is enough, you will not be compromised or pressured into working in a topic area you might lose interest to soon. After (if) I recruit enough support, I will start a formal proposal and ping you there. Regards, Super Ψ Dro 20:52, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Pending deletion of television categories

The category Category:20th century in Albanian television (and its subcategories) have been marked for deletion since they are currently empty (of anything other than other empty categories).

If there are any existing Wikipedia articles covering that topic, it would be advisable to add the appropriate category to those articles before the deletion process begins on 19 July 2022. (Categories can always be re-created as necessary, but less experienced editors may be more likely to add an existing category to an article than try and learn how to make new ones.)

Justifications for keeping the category, even though it is momentarily empty, should probably be copied to the Category talk:20th century in Albanian television page for future reference. Jim Grisham (talk) 04:58, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Hiya

Initial post

Sorry if this is patently obvious to you guys but (a) where is the MOS style guide for Albanian entries? If there is one, please create the normal redirects so it's easier to find from guesses like MOS:Alb... WP:Alb... &c. Link it prominently on the front page here. If there is one and you already did that and I'm somehow missing it, apologies but seriously where is it?

(b) If there isn't one but you've got a convention of including certain odd things like definite/indefinite forms of the placenames, go ahead and create one and list the unique aspects of the Albanian entries and the rationale.

(c) In particular, I don't know any Albanian grammar but, based on the gloss of definiteness at Albanian language and the gloss of Albanian uses at definiteness, it makes absolutely no sense to (eg) list alt forms as an essential feature of any of these articles. Either placenames are treated as definite (le Paris) or not (Paris), but they shouldn't randomly change definiteness. I get that you might know Sheila or a Sheila, but it's incomprehensible in English how you could ever talk about a Paris in any meaningful, non-navel-gazing poetic sense. What's going on there and why is it important to list so prominently in the WP:LEADSENTENCES of all these articles?

The nearest thing I can think of is that what's being called 'indefinite' is really trying to talk about attributive uses (China vs. China blue or East China Sea, e.g.) Is that what it is? If so, are we locked into this misnamed description of what it actually means?

(d) Note also that while these unclear forms seem to be cluttering up most of the Albanian location entries, the capital that gets more general visitors and treatment has already shunted this oddity down to its footnotes. I think it's probably more helpful—especially for Tirana—to have a #Name section like Durrës but that name section should quickly gloss what these in/definite forms are doing and when to use one instead of the other. — LlywelynII 15:14, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

RFC

Well, no one's posting here. Y'all are all welcome over here at the Naming Convention talkpage. I assume your opinions as locals and fluent speakers would be extremely helpful. — LlywelynII 07:21, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

There is a proposal for article titles for Albanian places at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Albanian placenames open for discussion:
"For places in Albania, use the indefinite Albanian name (e.g. "Vlorë", "Durrës")."
For places that have a different widely used name in English (like Tirana) the general rule to use the widely accepted name will still apply. Markussep Talk 20:24, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
It also badly needs improvement somewhere on Wikipedia for coverage of how definiteness works in Albanian, since this will need to be covered and linked in any article on an Albanian placename and plenty that involve technical Albanian terms (eg the country's current and historic administrative divisions). — LlywelynII 14:14, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
You may find this elaborate grammar of Albanian interesting. See chapter 3, notably paragraph 3.2.5 (page 167 of 365). Maybe someone has time to rephrase this into something we can use in the Albanian morphology or Albanian language article. Since noone objected, I'm going to add the proposed rule to the naming conventions page. Markussep Talk 10:44, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

POV-pushing at Simple English Wikipedia

Hello, I'd advise editors with expertise in Albanian matters to take a look at the edits of this user in Simple English Wikipedia [2]. They made a series of POV edits in controversial topics with very little sensitivity. Currently the Fustanella article there describes the fustanella as Greek and that the Albanian one is based on the Greek one. I don't know a lot about it but our article on English Wikipedia seems careful not to claim it as belonging originally to one single people. There might also be problems in other pages. Arvanites also reads differently from our article here, even if as I understand the current consensus is that they can be referred to as Greek people.

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Albania:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and climb the leaderboard. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

Albania is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest and articles related to it are eligible to be submitted for points, so I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

Koplik War

Can someone please look at the Koplik War? Albanian atdhetar keeps removing the reference to the Albanian–Yugoslav border war (1921) (e.g., [3]). I have b=no knowledge on the issue and therefore no position - but the reference was there for a long time. Despite multiple attempts to engage, Albanian atdhetar does not engage in discussions.

Please see the following proposed merge discussion: Talk:Autonomous Province of Korçë § Proposed merge of Korçë Crisis (1916-1920) into Autonomous Province of Korçë. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:25, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

  • Support, as this short-lived province seems to be inseparable from the crisis. There is some material here that needs to be actually merged (like the word "crisis").
