editHello, Therandas, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

edit
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Suva Reka. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, 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 their 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 result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for July 31
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Njazi Azemi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Viti. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 11:01, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Hashim Thaçi and elsewhere
editHi Therandas. Please stop changing historical city names. For example, when Hashim Thaçi was born, the city he was born in was part of the Socialist Republic of Serbia where it was referred to as "Srbica" so we use that. We also indicate that the city is now part of Kosovo where it is referred to as "Skenderaj".
This way of dealing with disagreements over naming has served Wikipedia well. Don't you think it's a decent compromise?
Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 18:23, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- The city name had two names during Yugoslavia and Skenderaj is very often used as well during that time. Srbica was the Serbian version of the city name. Kosovo has two official languages and since Skenderaj/Srbica is majority Albanian, it is preferred to use the Albanian version of the city. Therandas (talk) 22:08, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- These names are not “historical” but rather the second name version. Srbica is the Serbian variant and is not used anymore (see main wiki page of Skenderaj). Thus Skenderaj is the main city name nowadays. I sincerely ask to not reverse the correct changes since it’s not correct. Therandas (talk) 22:13, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Kosovo was not independent at the time of Thaçi's birth.Srbica is the Serbian variant and is not used anymore. Thus Skenderaj is the main city name nowadays.
Yes, nowadays. The city was known as "Srbica" at the time of Thaçi's birth. That was exactly my point. Robby.is.on (talk) 07:47, 2 August 2024 (UTC)- Kosovo was an Autonomous Province where Albanian was the primarly language since majority of the people were Albanian. It was also called Skenderaj back then. Even during Hashim Thaçi’s birthyear Kosovo was an Autonomous Province with its own language. I sincerely ask you to stop vandalizing the birthplace since it is against the Wiki rules. Therandas (talk) 07:52, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- See this quote from https://www.radiandradi.com/argumentet-dhe-metodat-e-politikes-ekspansioniste-serbe-per-ta-sunduar-kosoven-nga-akademik-mark-krasniqi/, which is used as a reference in Skenderaj#Etymology, translated through Google Translate: "In Kosovo, some cities also changed their names after the Balkan War in 1912, such as calling it Ferizaj - Uroshevac, Hanin e Elezit - General Jankovic, Skënderajn - Serbica and so on".
- Also "The Serbs, but not only them, are inclined to Serbize everything that is possible." I'm not saying it was a legitimate thing to do but it happened. Robby.is.on (talk) 11:01, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Historic city names
editCan you explain edits like this and this? You made dozens of such edits. Wikipedia's consensus is to use historic city names when referring to past events. In 1984, the city was indeed called Titova Mitrovica. Why did you change it? Vanjagenije (talk) 11:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- The city name was not historic. The city names always had a bilingual name. And since majority of the Albanians lived there, the Albanian version was used. Therandas (talk) 09:37, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Then, why didn't you change it to "Mitrovica e Titos"? Vanjagenije (talk) 22:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- The place was never called Mitrovica e Titos in Albanian. It always was called Mitrovica. I will revert your edit since it is wrong and will report to the admins if you keep fruading this edit. Therandas (talk) 10:55, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
