Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 22:05, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.Alltan (talk) 17:36, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

I am not engaged in an edit war i am removing your blatantly biased and nonsensical sources, you remove my sources in the etymology section for no reason other than the fact that you do not like them, you cannot use an Albanian source filled with Slavic names in order to represent them as Albanian Orthodox, when i told you this you added without a single source or citation to back it up that these were cases of "Slavicization" there is no consensus here you do not like what i edit GoofyMF (talk) 17:39, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

If you disagree with an edit, you can add more sources to explain your stance or go to the talk page. I do not dislike anything, and the source you removed (Curtis, 2012) is not an "Albanian source", but a PhD in Slavic Linguistics at the Ohio State University.Alltan (talk) 17:45, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Curtis makes no reference to Struga, or the word Struga in the Macedonian language, his source itself mention the word in Macedonian being borrowed as "stra(n)ga" and in Bulgarian as "strug" the word Struga is attested in Slavic all the way down to PIE which you can see on wiktionary, i have now added a citation which im sure you will remove because it does not fit your narrative. You cannot explain how there are dozens of cities named Struga all with the same Slavic etymology in Croatiak, Poland and Germany, places where there has been no contact with Albanians. GoofyMF (talk) 17:51, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Strunga was loaned into (Proto)-Slavic way before Macedonian or Polish had developed into independent languages. You can not use the much more recent evolution of Struga into Straga as an argument against a Pre-Albanian borrowing.Alltan (talk) 17:59, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Poles are West Slavs, they have never in their history had any contact with Albanians, in fact the vast majority of towns named Struga are in West Slavic countries, how would the PA "Shtrunge" reach the Poles? The West Slavs did not migrate to the Balkans and as far as i know there were no Albanians in Poland in the 6th century unless but maybe you have another source from the University of Prishtina that says otherwise? You are ignoring 90% of names Struga being in Poland, you are ignoring the word Struga is 100% Slavic and is not the same as the stranga borrowed from Albanian all so that you can create an Albanian name for the region just like the pathetic attempts to link the ancient city to the Illyrians and then Albanians. Tell me please when did the change from Enchalon to Struga come? What prompted this? Ill tell you the Slavic migrations GoofyMF (talk) 18:04, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Please read WP:NOR. Personal analysis are unusable without sources to back them up.Alltan (talk) 18:09, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

I added a citation and you removed it? Now that you realized you were wrong you are going to pretend all sources i post are unreliable while your Albanian sources are. Just like you removed my etymology in Tetovo despite sources and despite you agreeing that the name Tetovo is Slavic in origin. GoofyMF (talk) 18:13, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Bibliography is more reliable than sketchy websites, Which is why Maleschreiber and Alltan reverted you. Surix321 (talk) 04:10, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

He has a point however, There are several toponyms in Poland with the name Struga, if the city was not called Struga or Shtrunge before Slavic arrival, what prompted it to be Struga when Slavs came into the region, and how did an Albanian loanword into South Slavic or Slavic languages near Albanians enter even Poland? Surix321 (talk) 04:14, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

The website is sketchy but I'm supposed to believe an Albanian scholar isn't biased especially when there are alternative and literal roots for the word "Struga" in all Slavic languages? The loanword entered South Slavic and is called "stranga" in Macedonian not Struga, he is intentionally implying that the Slavic word Struga was loaned from Albanians which isn't true his source says the Macedonian version is "stranga" and look at the current edit, I added that the origin was disputed which it is and presented both alternatives but now it's only the Albanian version? Why I did not come to a conclusion or post an opinion. He knows that if both alternatives are presented most readers will come to the conclusion it's from Slavic "Struga" and his attempts to Albanize the name will fail. But if I add an alternative etymology how I will be sanctioned for disruptive editing???? GoofyMF (talk) 09:50, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

ARBEE

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Alltan (talk) 17:40, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

POINT

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but your recent edits appear to be intentional disruptions designed to illustrate a point. Edits designed for the deliberate purpose of drawing opposition, including making edits you do not agree with or enforcing a rule in a generally unpopular way, are highly disruptive and can lead to a block or ban. If you feel that a policy is problematic, the policy's talk page is the proper place to raise your concerns. If you simply disagree with someone's actions in an article, discuss it on the article talk page or, if direct discussion fails, through dispute resolution. If consensus strongly disagrees with you even after you have made proper efforts, then respect the consensus, rather than trying to sway it with disruptive tactics. Thank you. I suggest you revert your edits rather than going above 4 RVs'Alltan (talk) 17:52, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

So now you are going to report or try to ban me because you don't like the sources i posted? What consensus are you talking about? Your etymology is clearly wrong and your sources are either Albanian, or make no reference to the city, i added a citation but you also removed that one? Why because it's not Albanian? GoofyMF (talk) 17:55, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

You reverted multiple times by different users, you have to take this into account when editing. I will no longer resume this conversation on your TP, if you have any valid concerns post them on the articles TP instead. P.S, the nationality of an individual is irrelevant to their academic contributions.Alltan (talk) 18:17, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Upper Reka into Reka (region). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:41, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello my name is @Thedefender35 I'm here to talk about your username. Wikipedia:Username policy states that having a name that implies curse words or has curse words is against the policy. I was wondering if you would be ok looking at Wikipedia:Changing username so that we can fix this issue. Td^she/her 16:56, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Done, thank you for pointing it out

Accusing other editors of vandalism

I have warned Albanian 7 about this and I am warning you as well: vandalism has a very specific definition on Wikipedia, and it's not appropriate to accuse your opponents in a POV-dispute of it. If repeated, it can be construed as a personal attack. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 00:29, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
