Hi Albanian Historian. Great initiative and good job for the new articles.
Two things:

1. Try to find references (especially books rather than internet web pages) to support the material you add, otherwise the content may be challenged or the article "tagged" which makes it of little value.
2. Do not upload images (pics, photos, drawings) that you find in internet with the license you have been using so far. The license refers to the original creator and not to the user who uploads it. As you can see, they are being tagged for deletion. Upload them in English WP, not Commons. Upload them as "Fair use" not "own work". If you choose "fair use", the pic can be used in a specific article for informative purposes. Choose the option "historical event or deceased person" in addition to fair use. Intellectual property has to be respected. If you're not sure, just ask. Leave a message at other users' talk pages.

Go to WP:SQ and see other articles, and related users.

It takes patience! --Mondiad (talk) 03:41, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey! Thanks for your comment! I am new to Wiki and i will try to improve myself.

Zef Kol Ndoka has no references. Please reference it, otherwise someone can take it to deletion. For googlebooks referencing refer to my userpage. There is a link there (called "References for books"). If you click on it, it will bring you to a page where you can add the url at the top, and it will give you the reference at the bottom. "Zefi i vogel", unfortunately doesn't appear in any inline googlebooks, so I was wondering if you would have anything that is offline. Offline sources are welcome in Wikipedia, and good faith is assumed. If you need help, kindly let me know. You can also email me the sources and I can reference. Best! --MorenaReka (talk) 21:00, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Great work on finding Konica's magazine!
Mos u merzit per fotot qe do fshihen se keto jane gjera qe ndodhin. Kryesisht cfare eshte publikuar para 1923 mund te ngarkohet pa merak. Po te duash, leave a message on my talk page or someone's else, in case you're not sure which license to choose.
Shiko te marresh ca material nga Albania e Konices dhe ta shtosh te artikulli. Se artikulli eshte ende i shkurter.

Uprising of Luma

Great work!
Just keep in mind the licenses that we discussed. Don't include pictures or artwork from living people, as it is their own intellectual property and we can't include them without a special permit.
Also, the first image in the infobox (Albanian rebels somewhere in Luma in 1912) shows Bajram Curri with his fighters, I don't think it is taken in Luma. We can use the other "Albanian rebels" image you placed down there. Let me know.
I will fix the references and some content. But keep editing the article so it comes to a better shape, and you know how is done for next time as well.

Anti-Slavic sentiment

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Anti-Slavic sentiment. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.--Zoupan 16:50, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

“ Anti-Slavism was widely spread in Kosovo (Back then Dardania) since medieval times when the Serbian kingdom invaded Dardania (ancient illyrian tribe consisting of modern day Kosovo) and Northern Albania in the 12th century. The Albanians had previously been orthodox from the Byzantine faith but were encouraged to convert to the Catholic faith to resist Slavic assimilation. Together with Europes Catholic Monks, they strongly opposed Orthooxism seeing it as a Slavic faith. When the East–West Schism occured, in 1054, the Northern Albanians and Dardanians remained under the Roman Catholic church and the Albanians south remained Orthodox under Constantinopel (modern day Istanbul). The Serbs massconverted the Albanians of Dardania to the Orthodox faith, destroyed Catholic churches and made them into Orthodox ones. In order to colonize the the occupied regions, many churches were built that had been originally been Albanian Catholic ones. Albanians were babtized at birth, given slavic names, were tought serbian, etc. Tsar Dusan also had a racist and anti-albanian polticis. He hated the "Arabanska vera" which translates to "the Albanian faith" refering to Catholicism seeing it as his biggest enemy. Serb villagers were forbidden to help Albanians who passed by and anyone who did help them were fined or imprisoned. Albanians and Vlachs were seen as second-hand citizens and serb villagers were forbidden to help any Albanian at all. When the Ottoman Empire occupied Kosovo, Albanians eventually started converting to Islam, due to high taxes and violence but also in order to resist serb assimilation. By the 16th century, most Albanians in Kosovo had converted to Islam and an Ottomans used the Albanians hate against the Serbs to drive them out and re-colonize the once Albanian Kosovo. Thousands of serbs fled during the Great Serb migration and many Albanians returned as the rightful owners of their homes in Kosovo. Austro-Hungaria fueld the anti-slav politics of Albanians during the 18th century as a mean to stop the pro-Russian Serbia from reaching a port to the Adriatic sea. Ottoman Empire were allied with Austro-Hungaria in this case. When Serbia became independent in 1813, thousands of Albanians were murdered and others were expelled from modern day Nish and Kurshumli (south Serbia, back then Vilayet of Kosovo, Ottoman Empire). Albanians were caught between anti-ottoman and anti-slav thoughts and allying with one only led to the other progressing. The Balkan war of 1912 increased the Anti-Slavism as the Serbian and Montenegrin army committed numerous massacres of Albanian civilians in Kosovo, Shkodra and Macedonia. ” — User:Albanian Historian, at Anti-Slavism (diff)

Wooooow. I just had to make you a fitting quote box. This is real poetry. Did you actually think this one through?--Zoupan 16:50, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Anti-Slavic sentiment. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. --Zoupan 15:16, 11 January 2016 (UTC) Stop this behaviour.--Zoupan 15:16, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

@Zoupan:, please don't put words in other users' mouth which they never said. The whole "quote" above is not from User:Albanian Historian. The paragraph which you copy-pasted from somewhere (assuming one of his edits) doesn't mean "he said it". If you consider his content and sources as non-reliable, then there are procedures how to address them and it is very easy.

@Albanian Historian:, you are a new user. Don't engage immediately in sharp topics. Go to the talk page and open a discussion there. If you see that your edits were reverted, still go to the talk page and open a discussion and ask what was wrong. Everything takes patience. If you don't know how to do something, just ask.--Mondiad (talk) 00:35, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

New articles

Hi, try to create smaller articles and less complicated. Leave the big topics for later...I.e., the articles for Zhuj Selmani was ok. And you need to work it a little, cause automatic translation is not enough. Even if you create them, they will be tagged as "problematic", which makes them of little value. --Mondiad (talk) 00:22, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Expulsion of Albanians

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 The Expulsion of Albanians requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from URL. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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". 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 removed 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. Zoupan 05:51, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with the given reason for deletion, you can click the button below and leave a message explaining why you believe it should not be deleted. You can also visit the talk page to check if you have received a response to your message.--Zoupan 14:45, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Source misinterpretation

Hi,

I noticed that you added text (link):

• "Muslim Albanians represented a third of the population of the areas of Nish, Kurshumli, Leskovac, Vranje, and Prokuplje in 1877."

The source (link) says:

• Muslims represented a third of the population of these areas in 1877.

With this edit you misinterpreted source. Please be so kind to try not to repeat this kind of disruption in future. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 15:08, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Gusinje

Yes, from the word "Guci" or "Puci" meaning "flash" or "flashlight" referring to a strategic position. The source is reliable. If you cannot provide counter-sources, then this discussion is over. Edits are made with sources and proper arguments, not nationalist editing with nothing to back it up with.

--Albanian Historian (talk) 17:47, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Do you really believe that the toponym of Gusinje is derived from the Albanian word for "flashlight"? No. It is not. Stop using low-quality ultra-nationalistic sites for your POV, you have already been warned on your behaviour.--Zoupan 17:45, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Administrators' noticeboard thread

There is a thread regarding you at the Administrators' noticeboard.--Zoupan 18:13, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Please do comment there. So far I see you using poor sources, edit warring, and being quite rude to editors who disgree with your desired edits. I'm a inch from blocking you as too combative to waste time working with. Please explain (on WP:ANI why you should not be blocked for your behavior. KillerChihuahua 18:22, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

In my opinion, you were well within your rights to remove a prod tag.According to WP:PROD and [[WP:Deletion policy}}, you may remove a tag if you object to deletion ...for any reason.

Repost of The Battle of Plava and Gusinje

A tag has been placed on The Battle of Plava and Gusinje requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

There are references given to it, if you don't like that, bring it up to a discussion board and explain why the references are faulty then... --Albanian Historian (talk) 21:30, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

No. Read the warning. As for the references, I'm afraid Hasan Jashari doesn't look reliable, he cites no sources (?) and his paper is utterly Albanian-centred. Durham is not the least reliable. You can't compare entries in 14th-century law books to the present. You have no scholarly understanding of Dušan's Code nor the social state of medieval countries, so don't try to interpret it. You are keen on displaying the Serbian people as racists. Stop it.--Zoupan 21:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Well, none of those references even mention the word "racism". Anyway, you two should start discussing the issue at the article talk page immediately. Edit-warring is never an answer. Vanjagenije (talk) 21:57, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

February 2016

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at List of ancient tribes in Illyria. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Dr. K. 07:43, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

One journalist reported that when the Serbian Ibar Army,under General Zivkovich, marched into the Sandjak of Novi Pazar, it pacified the Albanian population living there under old principle, “soletudinem facient, pacem appelant.”	In 1912, when the invading Serbian Ivan army entered Novi Pazar, General Zivkovich ordered the massacre all the Albanian inhabitants under the principle of "solitudinem facing pacem appellant".

The quote refers to massacring them! So it is no fraud but since you insist, then i shall add exactly what the quote says.

I'll let this go for now, and am hoping that you will show you can edit more neutrally in the future. You've received lots of warnings and they seem to have made no impression whatsoever. EdJohnston (talk) 02:11, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Warning for what? That i add references which indeed are reliable? I'd like a third part to judge this. --Albanian Historian (talk) 09:14, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:

I contribute enough with proper sources and references, i see not why a block would be necessary. Its pointless. I want to know why my references are not reliable, so far you've failed to show me. It is not enough to say "Its an unreliable source". Who is to judge that? And if there is to be a block, i'd like to state my opinion first, with several editors to judge said accusation. My previous warnings has been due to image-related copyright violations to which i've learned and improved. I want this block lifted and i want the editors who state that my edits are violations to prove WHY they are, and not simply state that the references are unreliable.

The Dardania, as properly referenced by a third party, is not unreliable. I want an explanation and this block lifted as its not even giving me a chance. THANK YOU. Albanian Historian (talk) 09:21, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You are blocked for edit warring. Whether you're right or not, that's disruptive and not permitted. Huon (talk) 11:52, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry

Hello, Albanian Historian, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Cunmulaj (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who use multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you.

You were blocked for 48 hours in 02:08, 11 Feb on WP. You were blocked indef on Commons in 13:42, 11 Feb. Not knowing if you'd be unblocked, you created another account. Cunmulaj (talk · contribs · logs) pops up on Commons (09:22–13.32, 13 Feb) and adds media on WP (09:22–11.31, 13 Feb), with same type of uploads (See Commons:Special:ListFiles/Cunmulaj). The uploads are as the tradition, claimed to be CC0.--Zoupan 20:04, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello Albanian Historian,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Albanias Golgotha 1912 for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

Request reason:

I fail to understand why the images i upload are copyrighted when they are not?? The photos are over 70 years old, and many photos loose their copyright? But i guess i must read the rules better, and if so, i apologize for violating the rules. I simply try to improve the quality of the articles i add by adding photos, but since i have difficulties with this, i must improve it then. Could i have a date when the ban might be lifted, if it is lifted? Thank you for your response. It is not my intention to spam, i like to think i make many contributions to Wikipedia, many which often requires hours of translation. I want to continue to contribute to Wikipedia, and i promise i will improve my editing, and read the rules better.

Decline reason:

You are blocked for the misuse of multiple accounts (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kadribistrica), and an unblock request that does not address that can not be accepted. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:35, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

--Albanian Historian (talk) 16:45, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I see. Well, i'd like to apologize for using multiple accounts. It was unintentional, although I did not know it was against the rules until after. I will improve my behaviour and my articles.

--Albanian Historian (talk) 17:46, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

• You need to make an unblock request on whichever was your original account. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:59, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

this is the original account. --Albanian Historian (talk) 18:42, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

OK, then make a new unblock request here, addressing your use of multiple accounts. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:00, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Just a comment to the claim of not knowing it was against the rules. In the thread #Sockpuppetry above another user warned Albanian Historian just before I had planned to do the same. That was 13 Feb. The account Cunmulaj was used on Commons 19 Feb, and the account 435rapo14 was initiated on Commons 20 Feb. --T*U (talk) 20:14, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I'd like to make a new unblock request regarding my use of multiple accounts. --Albanian Historian (talk) 07:55, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

To make a new unblock request, you just use the {{unblock}} template again. Be sure to read the guide to appealing blocks carefully. --T*U (talk) 09:21, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Albanian, the problem with the images you uploaded is that they are copyrighted. It is a derivative work of a public domain material (see COM:DW). I say it is a derivative work because it is a photograph of a public domain content. Even though the main subject is a public domain material, it is still not in the public domain, as we still need the permission from the photographer. If you want to help in Albanian history, try not getting images from blogs, but scan old pictures (yes, scans of public domain material are not copyrighted, as they are not original enough). And once you have a decent understanding of derivative works and copyright, you may request unblock here and at Commons. Thanks, Pokéfan95 (talk) 10:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
