Kind Regards,
The photograph in question is my own work. The problem here is that since I could not resize the image because of not having an appropriate software at that time, I captured the photo on my screen. I sadly do not have the time to remove the computer mouse that got caught up in the shot but I will work on it sometime in the future.

I noted this contributors uploads, were possible for commons:
http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&contribs=user&target=Koliri&namespace=6

== Question ==

I have nominated ], ], ] and ] on the grounds that they do not meet ] as virtually nothing about theme exists in the literature. Along comes ] bombarding the pages in question with sources, all of them in Albanian and impossible to access (let alone evaluate), except for one: Robert Elsie . Yet on looking closer, these four individuals do not appear ''anywhere'' in Elsie's page. --] (]) 20:47, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Per as far as information "word-for-word copy-paste job" is not true and "replaced some cited sections of the article with copyvios" also not true. I really don't know what the modified text with names and tonnage of vessells can be deemed as copyvios".

== Re: Topic ban ==

I saw your topic ban on my talk page, and I would like to ask you to reconsider. You said that "displays a reckless disregard for NPOV and is therefore disruptive." Why does it display a reckless regard for NPOV? Are you aware that it included the summaries of the older DoE reports which I had originally proposed to exclude from the introduction, after discussion about whether those summaries should also be included? The remainder of the text proposed in that edit is a summary of the most recent peer-reviewed ] from an academic publisher on the topic.


== Reverts ==
I know things can get difficult when the prevailing position on a controversial topic on which both sides have firm positions is suddenly opposed by the peer-reviewed secondary academic sources. That is exactly what is occurring now, and I urge you to take a close look at the sources before making a final decision on what is or is not NPOV. Thank you for taking a closer look. ] (]) 18:03, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

: Yes, I've been watching the situation. With H.W. it's sometimes difficult to find the exact point where merely opinionated and hyperactive editing turns into tendentious and disruptive editing, so I haven't yet quite made up my mind about how to proceed. However, H.W. should certainly familiarise himself with the idea that if one is topic-banned from an area and then returns, one is expected to ''change'' one's behaviour, and not simply continue with the exact same pattern of activity as before. ] ] 09:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

: Yep, I'm aware of that; I'm only a bit reluctant to do this because I voted on the AfD myself previously. My block of Pawel was not for this particular edit, but for a whole number of other edits that breached his topic ban in a much more obvious ways; the AfD edit is arguably more borderline and so I'll prefer to not take a stance on whether the vote should be removed at this point. ] ] 09:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
