"Most Western sources put the size of the Greek minority at around 200,000, or about 6% of the population" this quote is cited by one greek source and one american source that says they currently make up 1.7% of the population. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 07:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Sources are claiming 300,000 Greeks, too. Most Western reliable sources out there put the size of the Greek minority at around 200,000, or about '''6%''' of the population. Cia figures are from the 1989 census, and reliable sources that show higher figures than this, must be included the same, too. |

|
|
::I suppose that it is also reasonable to ask that any source that gives ranges be applied to all groups. It will not do to have 95% Albanian, 2 - 6% Greek, and 2% Other. That is, a counter to the last official estimate for the population of the entire country, rather than for one group. I do not know how to find this, but I suspect it is out there. Too bad the CIA estimate is so old. ] (]) 18:28, 25 December 2011 (UTC) |

:::Not really. First, there needs to be a source for the number. But then, if it is not reported as a percent, we need to show great care if editors try to turn that number into a percent. How do we know how accurate the number is, how much rounding has taken place? But we don't even get there until we have a source.

There is a general incosistency with the numbers presented by unpo (here ] it claims that the number is 400,000). In general cia factbook is the most preferred source in such cases.] (]) 13:51, 6 January 2012 (UTC) |

: The link you provided took me to some document which is in Greek. There is a picture there, but i cannot verify that it belongs to UNPO. Then, the most updated information is usually taken as the actual information. Or should we stick to infos from centuries ago? CIA is not the world official source of information. I have seen that sometimes it has mistakes and erroneous information on some countries. Anyway, i checked it and...Surprise, this is what i saw: |
|
|
Ethnic groups: |
|
|
Field info displayed for all countries in alpha order. |
|
|
Albanian 95%, '''Greek 3%''', other 2% (Vlach, Roma (Gypsy), Serb, Macedonian, Bulgarian) (1989 est.) |
|
|
note: in 1989, other estimates of the Greek population ranged from '''1% (official Albanian statistics)''' to 12% ('''from a Greek organization'''). |
|
|
So, the percentage is 3, and not 6 like you claim. There is no source where it says that it is 6%, thus it has to be removed. And bringing the claim of a Greek NGO is not reliable. I can bring you tens of claims of Albanian and other NGO which claim that Greek population in Albania is smaller than 1%, or that ethnic Albanian population in Greece is higher than 15%.

Sure, there are various references about the percentage. CiaF is one of the best we have (3%). My objection is on the use of CiaF instead of unpo. On the other hand 6% (or 200,000) is the number most western sources adopt ].] (]) 17:03, 6 January 2012 (UTC) |

:UNPO gives 70 000, so why not use UNPO? Western sources based on what? Or someone citing CIA? Just wait for few months until the results from the Albanian census of October 2011 come out and then you can have reliable national data. (] (]) 19:05, 6 January 2012 (UTC)) |

::Because UNPO is not a ]. This book on the other hand, ''is'' a reliable source. I think part of the problem is you don't understand Misplaced Pages's policies regarding what constitutes a reliable source. Please see ], and in particular ]. UNPO is self-published and should be avoided. Also, you had made some mistakes in the history section. When Greece, Serbia and Montenegro invaded in 1912, Albania was still officially part of the Ottoman Empire. Thus, they couldn't have invaded ''Albania'', but rather the ''Ottoman Empire''. Also, to say that over half of Albania's "ethnic territory" was given away is POV and inaccurate. Since there hadn't been an independent Albania until then, it didn't have any "territory". That was ''Ottoman'' territory with an Albanian majority, but it's wrong to say "Albania's ethnic territory". ] (]) 22:04, 6 January 2012 (UTC) |

Albania declared independence on 28 November 1912, and it declared independence of that territory you are referring as well. Given that many western sources say so, i cannot accept that a Greek decides what is history and what not. (] (]) 22:39, 6 January 2012 (UTC)) |

::::What western reliable source? The figure of 200,000, which you keep removing, is sourced from a western reliable source.

:::::It is clear that this article has fallen prey to clear Greek nationalistic agenda. I request the administrators to do something on this matter. 95%+6%+2%=103%????? How can there be a population of 103%? I think that here we have some serious math problems. (] (]) 10:39, 7 January 2012 (UTC)) |

:According this , the most widely accepted figure ranges from 100,000 to 150,000 (and this does not correspond with the 200,000 figure stated above to be the most accepted). Also, what sources say 6%? If a source doesn't say 6% but is calculated by the user, then this is moving into ] territory. (Another problem with the figure lies with the assumption that the population of Greeks did not decrease with the rest of the population of Albania and I don't see any controlling for that.) The CIA Factbook says 3%, however, and is RS, so this is the number that should be included.--] (]) 00:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC) |

I can see from this section that there is no consensus so i suggest that the ethnic groups be removed since we have challenged and contradicting sources. We should wait for the results of the 2011 census. Also ranging figures i believe to be unacceptable and not at all encyclopedic. I think that in the infobox there should not be claims but hard facts where possible. Claims can be included in the appropriate section. Please leave nationalism out of Misplaced Pages which is unreliable enough as it is. Thank you! ] (]) 23:04, 14 March 2012 (UTC) |

:"Most western sources put the figure at 200,000...", which is approximately 6% of the population. The source is very reliable, so please don't remove it using artificial arguments just because you don't like it. ''That'' is nationalism. There is also no rule against including ranges in the infobox. ] (]) 23:20, 14 March 2012 (UTC) |

Please refrain yourself from accusations and reply to my request in your page. You do not quote the source right! First the source says that it is an estimation while providing additional info in brackets saying: (although EEn puts the number at a probable 100,000) Again its says 200,000 is an estimation and the percentage given is by yourself. Provide the math about the percentage and for what year of the population (this has prime importance). The ranging figures in the infobox despite not being against the rules are not current or hard facts, hence misleading. That is why i proposed to remove the whole thing, while the section provides additional information. Please do not confuse arguments with nationalism just because YOU don't like them. ] (]) 23:50, 14 March 2012 (UTC) |

:The source says "Most Western estimates are 200,000", I am quoting the source perfectly well. I am not going to engage in semantic games and sophistry. Albania's population has been hovering around the 3 million mark for the last 20 years, so yes, 200,000 out of 3 million is approximately 6%. Demographics is not an exact science, it's more than good enough. ] (]) 00:02, 15 March 2012 (UTC) |

Can't see any request for such games, however the quote wasn't "estimates" you can check it since i replaced it with the right one. Demographics is no exact science indeed but you sir are not a demographer and yet provide percentages; you have moved into ] territory as it has been stated before by a different user.

Given the latest discussions if EB can be used a reliable source or not, i did some inquiries, and also posted it as a topic at Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. It appears that EB is a reliable source according to the discussion on the Reliable sources?Noticeboard ]. |

:By the way, the result of the WP:RSN discussion, which I read, is definitely '''not''' that "Encyclopedia Britannica is regarded as a trusted source by Misplaced Pages community". he only conclusion I can see in the discussion is that it's only ok to use it '''if no other sources are available''' (which is what ] says). Since in general, secondary sources are available for almost anything, that means EB is out. Furthermore, The EB article on Albania is written by Messrs. Elez Biberaj and Peter Prifti. Mr. Biberaj does not appear to be a scholar of any kind, and Mr. Prifti appears to be a national activist. So, my advice to you is, don't think that you can now go around and add EB everywhere in Misplaced Pages because you ''think'' that it was decided at WP:RSN that EB is a reliable source. Be extremely careful when using EB as a source, and if we have another source that contradicts EB, that means EB is out. ] (]) 02:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC) |

::The discussion at ] has not concluded yet, and conclusions such as "if we have another source that contradicts EB, that means EB is out" is misleading.

::http://www.lonelyplanet.com/albania/history and http://www.albanianhistory.net/texts20_1/AH1913_2.html are not exactly top draw secondary sources that have been published in a peer reviewed journal and present an analysis based on a survey of cited primary sources. The albanianhistory.net article is basically a regurgitation of a primary source (published by an unreliable source), and given the choice where there is a contradiction in information between Encyclopaedia Britannica and Lonely Planet I suspect most editors would consider EB more reliable than LP for historical facts. -- ] (]) 00:22, 15 January 2012 (UTC) |

What is the point of that stupid picture of Arabic text? What is its purpose? How is it justified? Why are Albanian Muslims eager to associate with Arab culture instead of European culture? The whole article has a Muslim Albanian slant. It says, matter of fact, that Tosk influenced Albanian language more than Gheg. That is not true. Tosk was arbitrarily adopted as the official dialect only recently, post WWII i believe. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 22:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:::Sorry, the point is that the photo is not appropriate because it only covers a very narrow time-period and leaves out large swaths of present-day Albania. Moreover, the Ottoman-Turkish word for Albania is 'Arnavutluk' not arnavid, so to even call it the 'sancak of Albania' makes no sense. ] (]) 00:32, 23 June 2012 (UTC) |

::::Incorrect. The photo covers the whole present day Albania. If you have some objections to Arvanid then present some better source than ], if it is possible.--] (]) 00:37, 23 June 2012 (UTC) |

I'm glad you're referring to Halil Inalcik! He is indeed the main historian for this period. I think the issue here is more aesthetic - the photo looks tacky (cheap). I think a better map (or, what about the one I had put up, which was in Ottoman and gives a feel for the period?). What do you think?] (]) 00:45, 23 June 2012 (UTC) |

: The map you put is the map of greater Albania, not Albania during Ottoman rule. It contains vilayets which lasted less than 50 years. --] (]) 00:52, 23 June 2012 (UTC) |

::The self-made map mis-reads Inalcik. According to him "Moreover in the south the sand̲j̲aḳ of Awlonya (Avlona) and in the east that of Ohri were created and in 1479 the sand̲j̲aḳ of Iskenderiye (Scutari) was formed in the north..." About the registers he used (and his reference to the 'Sancak i Arnavud') he says that "This kind of tīmārs constituted 16 per cent of all the ¶ tīmār-holders in Arvanid-ili." see: Arnawutluḳ."

The map is therefore wrong. I look forward to constructive work with you in the future.] (]) 00:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC) |

The page is locked but it inaccurately inflates the Christianity stats to 38%. The 2023 census states that 16% of Albanians are Christian by faith. Is there a way to fix this? ] (]) 18:32, 24 November 2024 (UTC) |

:Again incorrect. The map is well sourced. I referred to Inalcik for the Turkish name of the Sanjak of Albania. When he mentioned 16% he refered to timar holders. Still, you are right that the teritory of albania was later divided between sanjaks of Ohrid, Scutari, Avlona... Some sanjaks were formed and soon disestblished. I will try to find some maps that could be used to illustrate that facts. |

:Do not remove the Sanjak of Albania. It existed. Both its name and its map are well sourced. Its name is supported both with sources and consensus. Please respect them.] (]) 07:49, 23 June 2012 (UTC) |

I came to this article to find answers to two questions: Where did the Albanian people come from? and what are the roots of the Albanian language? I find hints and fragmentary answers in the history sections of the article but the Demography and Language sections say nothing on either point. The link to the separate article on the Albanian language is very helpful; a short sentence from that article might be an appropriate addition to this section.
