Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.
Thank you!
Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello Βατο!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Source
Hi Βατο, hope you're well. I just came across this source, and thought it might be of interest to you:
- Archaeological Investigations in a Northern Albanian Province - Results of the Projekti Arkeologjik i Shkodrës (PASH): Volume One: Survey and Excavation Results · Volume 1 (2023). [1]
I don't know if you've seen it already, but if not, it looks like it contains content which you seem to enjoy working with. Thanks. Botushali (talk) 03:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Botushali:, I have already seen and used that source in some wiki articles, it is interesting indeed. Thanks anyway! – Βατο (talk) 18:32, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

hey there, I noticed you recently deleted some of my image contributions (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arb%C3%ABresh%C3%AB_people&diff=prev&oldid=1233671007) without providing a clear reason why; i'm not assuming negative intent I would just like to know the reason behind the removal as I think those were valid contributions. Maybe this is something we can discuss in the talk page before going ahead and removing it? No hard feelings. Thank you Brikcity (talk) 12:58, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Brikcity:, thanks for your contributions. I removed the flag from the infobox simply because it represents only the Arbëreshë of Piana degli Albanesi, while that article generally deals with all the Arbëreshë people of Italy. As for the second image you added, I removed it because besides being little representative, it is a modern reconstruction without historical value. – Βατο (talk) 13:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I see. Would this flag be more appropriate? File:Flag of Sicilian-Arbëreshë.svg
- Regarding the second picture, are modern depictions not allowed? The Arbereshe are not an extinct ethnolinguistic group as their churches and communities are still very active. The image (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sbarco_esuli_albanesi_in_Italia.jpg), from 1976, is in a local church and was made by a local artist - how could it be more representative? If modern images of peoples are allowed, why are modern depictions not allowed, especially if made by locals? Brikcity (talk) 14:45, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- This flag File:Flag of Sicilian-Arbëreshë.svg has similar issues. Generally in Wikipedia images that show the geographic presence of the population group are preferred in such infoboxes, and the current map seems to be good enough. If you want to add another image, you can propose it in the article's talk page, but in that case I would suggest to opt for a photography portraying actual people. – Βατο (talk) 16:09, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
