London and New York: Routledge (Taylor & Francis). ISBN 978-0-415-23671-3 includes a quotation from that work, "It is difficult to know how many ethnic Greeks there are in Albania.

@FierakuiVërtet: has repeatedly changed this to "It is difficult to know how many ethnic Greeks there are in Albania. The Albanian government claimed that there were only 60,000, based on the biased 1989 census, whereas the Greek government claimed that there were upwards of 300,000. Most Western estimates were around the 200,000 mark ..." so that it is not a true and honest quotation from that work. How can we proceed? NebY (talk) 22:34, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
