Igoumenitsa

Your contribution in Igoumenitsa is against a consensus on the talk page of that article. The Albanian language is there because it has been a language spoken by a former population and which is still used today. It is the same as the Greek language in Saranda or in other articles. Thank you, Balkanian`s word (talk) 15:25, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The same reasoning is for Saranda too. There is a guideline in which wiki works, called WP:NCGN, in which is described that a former name of the town, spoken by a former minority (Cham Albanians used to be a strong community in Igoumenitsa), as well as an alternative name, of a language spoken by a population in it (Albanian is still spoken in the town per sources we have) should be written in the lead. For that, there is an extensive discussion in the talk page of that article. For any further question, do not hesitate to ask. Thanks, Balkanian`s word (talk) 15:59, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greater Albania

Hallo, and welcome! I made some comments in the discussion you initiated in talk:Greater Albania, feel free to add any thoughts, and always remember the 5 pillars (above).Alexikoua (talk) 07:54, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are a new user, it wasn't necessary to vote in a potential 'hot' discussion. This are not simple majority/minority procedures. Δεν ήταν ανάγκη, κάτσε λίγο καιρό και θα δεις τι παίζει, τις 5 κολώνες πουσούπα. Φιλικά.Alexikoua (talk) 19:34, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
