A fact from Peter Spani (League of Lezhë) appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 April 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that last name of Peter Spani, one of the founders of the League of Lezhë in 1444, is derived from the Greek word spanos (Template:Lang-el) which means beardless? A record of the entry may be seen at Misplaced Pages:Recent additions/2012/April. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Peter Spani (League of Lezhë).

Reverts

Antid. please don't try to add the same OR assertions that have been refuted. I've used an English-language/modern work from a Greek author, who has translated the Byzantine documents and the source misinterpretation you've been involved in is very easy to replicate. Stavrides has dedicated a whole chapter and you're disregarding it based on outdated sources that don't contradict anything but deal with the issue simplistically. For example the Novo Brdo leader Peter Spani had no relation to this branch of the Spani family and claimed no imperial ancestors. If someone used the same extrapolations then Alessio Span should have the same traits, but he didn't.--— ZjarriRrethues —  11:06, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

• Please don't repeat that I added "the same OR assertions that have been refuted" unless you can provide a link which can prove your (false) accusations.
• Your claim that I used outdated sources after you using Gjon Muzaka's 1510 work is absurd. I used the same work (Milan Shufflay) you used just a couple of minutes earlier and even informed me about it on my talk page.

Can you read the only complete source available and understand that only a branch claimed imperial/Byzantine descent?--— ZjarriRrethues —  10:32, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

As on Skanderbeg and Kastrioti family you cropped the quote again i.e source misinterpretation. The Sufflay quote you were using wasn't just Obitelj ova Span, de Span, Hispanus, Spanović podrijetlom je grčka but Toj skupštini pribiva i katolički Arbanas Petar Span, moćan pro* nijar oko Skadra i Drivosta. Obitelj ova Span, de Span, Hi* spanus, Spanović podrijetlom je grčka.--— ZjarriRrethues —  10:39, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

There is no source misinterpretation. What I wrote in the article is: " Spani family, which was of Greek origin." That asserttion is properly referenced with the quote you mentioned "Obitelj ova Span, de Span, Hi* spanus, Spanović podrijetlom je grčka". Please follow WP:NPA and stop removing the significant views that have been published by reliable sources.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Latest edits

Are non-consensual and oversimplified. Specialized sources state things more clearly Aigest (talk) 21:57, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
