IMPORTANT DELETION OF SOURCES IN THE CHAM ALBANIANS ARTICLE BY ALEXIKOUA- Need assistance

Hi ZjarriRrethues

Sorry to pester you with this, but since you did give good advice last time, here it goes. Recently i rewrote part of the article in relation to the Cham Albanians, by adding many important (western) sources that have not been accessible to many. They are by Western scholars who have done fieldwork in Thesprotia, accessed the Greek government archive, non impartial nineteenth century observers of the situation. In the article i included sources that one were not Albanian (as Albanian sources are accused of being biased and in-factual by Greek editors). I included in the article, academics that were importantly of Greek heritage. I also included in the footnotes the relevant pieces of information of where that information came from to prevent a deletion and have a serious discussion. Yet when i came to the article, all i saw was complete deletion !!! I was accused of POV !!! I ask, is this how wikipedia works, that when a credible source/s is given, it gets deleted without even proper discussion ? I also think my wording did not in any way produce a biased outcome. I am concerned that is this the type of quality that goes on wikipedia ? I am currently in postgraduate studies, and stifling of discussion is unacceptable. It’s about scholarly debate. I still don't understand how i was pushing POV. For example, in the section about Chams today in Greece, i came across sources that have encountered Orthodox Albanian speaking populations. There also still exists a Albanian Muslim Cham community. Yet that got deleted. Voltaire once said "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it". I asked Alexikoua to justify each and everyone one of her deletions ? Otherwise she is pushing POV ! I request your assistance for Cham Albanians page. The same thing happened with the Ioannina page. Please see both as you are a very experienced editor.
