There are some things that must be changed in this article:<br>
I suggest you both have a quick read of ]. If one source says 500,000 and another says 150,000, you don't have an edit war where each editor asserts a single figure, you write "one source says 500,000 and another says 150,000", then you both agree that that's a pretty accurate assessment and do some sort of virtual handshake, and then get on with doing more useful things. That's what NPOV is all about. -- ] 03:44, Aug 19, 2003 (UTC)

There are two articles about Albanians: "Ethnic Albanian" and "Albanians". This article is about ethnic Albanians inside and outside of Albania. The article ] seems to suggest that there are ethnic Albanians only outside of Albania. I think this is wrong. The term "Albanians" is ambiguous between citizens of Albania (who may happen to be, e.g., ethnic Greeks) and ethnic Albanians, and this is the reason why "ethnic" is added. My proposal is merging the two articles. ] 07:24, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)

: OK, I think I added that page before I knew about this one (when I first discovered wikipedia). Merging the two is not a bad idea, and it might avoid some confusion. --] 22:03, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Dori, the census results I am using is from the official Yugoslav census data, I have it all on one CD, I will try and find it on the net in the meantime, you can check any book which mentions the 1981 and 1991 censa, the data are the same all over.

: Well finally you mention the magical source. Why are you opposed to citing it in the articles? ] 22:01, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

PS, the preliminary 2001 Albania census results mention 3,087,159 people in the whole of Albania, that, naturally includes minorities as well, I rounded it off at about 3 million Albanians although depending on the source (CIA world factbook or Bethany) the percentage of ethnic Albanians is anywhere between 92 and 95% Albanian so that means anywhere between 2,830,000 and 2,930,000 ethnic Albanians in Albania although some Greeks would put at an even lower figure...
], 22:50, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

: So why don't you explaing the reasoning. You can say that this is the estimate from this census based off of the estimated percentage of minorities. As I've said, if we are to use numbers at random, I'd rather use mine. ] 22:01, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I found a recent Russian encyclopedic data

http://dic.academic.ru/misc/enc1p.nsf/ByID/NT0000102E

citing numbers we don't have in this article. The number of ethnic Albanians is stated to be 115,000 in the United States, 5,000 in Canada and 15,000 in Turkey. The year and the source are not mentioned. ] 23:25, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I think this article could contain a survey of the ethnological groups of the Albanians. I mean G(h)egs and Tosks, and the "old" emigrants. And if this information is available, about tribes. (Just a desideratum.) ] 08:17, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)

==Albanians in Greece==
This issue seems to be sparking an edit war. I wish to ask the involved editors (], ], and ]) to disuss the matter here instead of continually reverting the article. I am protecting the aritcle now while this discussion follows. ]<sup>] ]</sup> 15:50, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks, Bratsche, for some common sense. I'll be happy to participate if that's alright with you ] 16:27, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
