			Hi Ronaldi

			The issue with Omari's numbers is that he gives 350, 000. Most of the population of Greek Epirus is roughly that. Omari is basically inferring that all of those people are either Albanian speakers or espouse an Albanian identity. That is a big issue considering that even today the EU Euromosaic (see the Cham Albanians article - cited in there) source says Albanian speakers are found in mainly Thesprotia (which has a population of around 50,000) Preveza province, a little more and a few villages near Thepsrotia province within Ioannina province. Taking that to account, those number that Omari gives is problematic. Its why i said to take Omari with caution. Vickers gives a rough population of 40, 000 for current day numbers. Hope that helps. ] (]) 07:51, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.--Zoupan 20:02, 21 June 2015 (UTC) Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Souliotes. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

I'm afraid you need to convince the entire academic community for this. For example G. Kretsi (also a famous Albannologists) states that: The Albanian-speaking Christian population in Thesprotia are known as "Arbanits" and are very rarely characterized as "Christian Chams". ], a fact you are eager to add on the first line in Souliotes. Misplaced Pages isn't the place to declare war against a well established bibliography.Alexikoua (talk) 11:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

The name Cham, together with that of the region, Chameria, is from an extinct local Slavic *čamŭ, itself from the local Greek hydronym Thyamis (Θύαμις in Greek, Kalamas in Albanian). A folk etymology attributes the name to Turkish cami (Greek tzami), literally, 'mosque-goer, mosque attendee' which presumably was used by Orthodox Christians for the descendents of Muslim converts. However, this is unlikely since the word's broader ethnographic and dialectal sense encompasses the entire Albanian-speaking population of the Thesprotia and Preveza regional units of Greek Epirus, both the Muslim and Christian populations.ref name = Xhufi -----Source en.Misplaced Pages.org (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/Cham_Albanians )

My second reference :

I have more references than your and I have Finley's reference who wasn't greek or albanian.Rolandi+ (talk) 12:06, 22 June 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rolandi+ (talk • contribs) 12:02, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Also If you read your references carefully ,it means that greek local populations call muslim chams as "turks" and christian chams as "arbanits" .But muslim chams are albanian and not turk so your references are based on greek nationalism ,not in facts.Greek locals might characterize albanians as " mongols ,chinese or german " but this doesn't mean that albanians are "a warlike community " or a " mongol,chinese or german community" (I'm taking them just as examples).Anyways I have more references and I have even a reference like Finlay who is NEUTRAL and was a TEMPORARY. ,Laurie Kain Hart (the ethnologist ,American Ethnologist (Published by),American Anthropological Association (Published on behalf of ).Rolandi+ (talk) 18:37, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Your edits are disruptive. I am the one who added the theories in the first place. You are POV-pushing. Refrain from editing without concensus. It is not disputed that the family was Serb (part of the Serbian state, legacy, etc, identified as Serb), but there are theories that they had non-Slavic origin.--Zoupan 07:17, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

It is clear that you have no intent to contribute to Misplaced Pages. "I don't care about your stupid boycott ,I just see the sources", "It not for sure that Balsic family is serb, so stop your foolish editings ..as for my editing they aren't disruptive as they are based on references".--Zoupan 10:25, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Balšić noble family. Your edits have been 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 Misplaced Pages'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 Misplaced Pages'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 19:46, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert about the Balkans

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Misplaced Pages. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Balkans, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

June 2015

Your recent editing history at Balšić noble family shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Sock

Hello, Rolandi+, welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Misplaced Pages, such as AlbertBikaj (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 remember to disclose these connections. Thank you.--Zoupan 20:16, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

"not reliable source, doesn't mention kosovo with its official name"

You removed a source based on that it used "Kosovo i Metohija" and "Kosmet" (the Serbian names) for Kosovo? Are you serious? If you continue this disruptive behaviour I will have to report you.--Zoupan 10:41, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

If you don't report me now,I will go to report you!So go and report me,don't be afraid as NATO isn't going to bombard you. Rolandi+ (talk) 11:15, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Can you please present a proper reference for the claim that they had Dukagjini ancestry on the talk page.--Zoupan 19:31, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

No personal attacks

I just saw this edit. Such personal attacks are not acceptable in Misplaced Pages, please read WP:NPA. You would be well advised to retract your attacks, see WP:RUC, or you are likely to be blocked. --T*U (talk) 22:15, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Patrice Evra

Just so you know, transfermarkt is not considered a says the figures for Evra at Man Utd are correct.

Also, Misplaced Pages only counts league appearances in the infobox, I think that transfermarkt figure included all competitions (League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions' League), as it was significantly higher. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:33, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

OK then , I'm considering it unreliable in the future. Rolandi+ (talk) 11:35, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Orthodox Albanian speakers and numbers

Hi Rolandi

Regarding your edits on the matter, i would say that best not to continue. Not that i disagree, but because they are hard to substantiate. Many Orthodox Albanian speakers consider themselves as Greeks. Whether one puts it down to Greek government polices or views that Greek society has held regarding people of a Albanian ethno-cultural heritage is another matter. The point is that one we will never know their 'correct number' and two its most likely that the remaining Albanian speakers (at least those of southern and central Greece) will completely disappear in the next few decades. So going on about numbers becomes a pointless issue. But on a personal note, I have come across many of them here in Melbourne Australia. They have said many things in a frank manner that tallies up with the research of scholars to me regarding their views of Albanians. They said them because mistook me for someone not of the area as i look like someone who could be from the Nordic countries. They have always been surprised after i tell them that i am an Albanian and a southerner (a Tosk). Often their reaction has often been you a "Tourkos" or "Tourko-Alvanos" and other negative comments (and that's putting it politely). Such are the views within this community even here in Australia. Its the same thing even in Albania. A sizable part of the Albanian Orthodox community no longer wants to be Albanian today and they genuinely regard themselves as Greeks even from experience being with them,(even in the peer reviewed literature it becoming more apparent). Next Albanian census is going to be quite daunting for those who still adhere (mainly Catholics and Muslims) to a Rilindja version of Albanian identity (going beyond religious differences). I hope i have not offended you, especially if you are from an Orthodox Albanian speaking background, but that is the state of things. Albanian identity is becoming the preserve of mainly the Albanian speakers with a socio-cultural Catholic and Muslim (whether secular, conservative or atheist) background.Resnjari (talk) 12:45, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Citing wikia

Please note that Wikia is not a reliable source. It is not suitable for citation in Misplaced Pages articles, although you may be able to find reliable sources through Wikia if the editors there have included citations to such sources. ~ Rob 11:05, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you ! Rolandi+ (talk) 11:08, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

No worries! You've gotten some flack lately from editors who have noticed some disruptive behaviors, but it seems you've been acting in good faith. I'd recommend slowing down a bit. Misplaced Pages is theoretically going to remain around forever, so waiting a day or two and getting comments on an article's talk page prior to editing doesn't make any difference in the grand scheme of things, and can help avoid most common mistakes. If you have any questions regarding editing, I'd recommend referring to the links at the top of your talk page that another user left for you, going to the Teahouse (a friendly place for new editors to ask questions), or responding here and I'll see if I'm able to help. While you should certainly take the things that other editors have told you on your talk page to heart, don't let it worry you too much. I was new not too long ago as well, and everyone can learn how to edit constructively with a little effort. ~ Rob 11:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Heikegani, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

This is your final warning. You may be blocked from editing without further notice the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Baku (spirit). KSFT 19:14, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Source misinterpretation

Hi,

With this edit (diff) you inserted the quote:

"Today scholars see Dacians as ancestors of the modern Rumanians and Vlachs and the Illyrians as the proto-Albanians."

The source says:

"Traditionally scholars have seen the Dacians as ancestors of the modern Rumanians and Vlachs and the Illyrians as the proto-Albanians." - Fine, John Van Antwerp (1991). The Early Medieval Balkans: A Critical Survey from the Sixth to the Late Twelfth Century. University of Michigan Press. p. 10. ISBN 0-472-08149-7.

Furthermore the author explains that this traditional view is today challenged and explains that there are valid linguistic arguments "serious, nonchauvinistic" that Albanians came to Balkans from what is now Romania because it was also affected by large-scale invasion of Goths and Slavs in 4th-6th century.

It is obvious that author does not say that he or scholars today support Albanian-Illyrian hipotesis. On the contrary, he explains that it has been misused in Albanian nationalistic myth building with expansionistic purposes.

Please urgently revert your edit based on blatant misinterpretation of the source.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:23, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

July 2015

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 36 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. —Darkwind (talk) 05:47, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Cham Albanians. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Δρ.Κ. 19:26, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Falsification of sources

I see that you have been told this ], but I will try to explain again: Your edit states that "Today scholars see Dacians as ancestors..." when the source says "Traditionally scholars have seen the Dacians as ancestors...", continuing to show that this view has been seriously challenged. Your statement is actually contradicted by the source. If you do not change this yourself, your edit will be seen as a sign that you are pushing your own point of view, and you will inevitably be blocked. --T*U (talk) 23:22, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Go,read what that part of article says and then come and talk to me.It says that "According to one of the origin theories Vlachs originated from latinized Dacians".This means that it is a theory and it's normal to be challenged.It is not a POV .However I will change the reference citation as it has been an error.Also there has been a discussion at the article's talk page.So instead of warning me about your imaginary possible blocks ,go and participate at the discussion.
