Is it okay if I remove it?Triballiii (talk)21:18, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why are the sources used in this article in contradiction with each other? Why do they cite Skanderbeg as a Serbian while the article mentions him as Albanian?93.86.237.151 (talk)12:57, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: See question 1 in the Frequently Asked Questions at the top of the talk page.Day Creature (talk)06:15, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]I keep getting reverted for re-adding the part which@Azoral: added that: "Muzaka further describes Skanderbeg as a man "Serbian in nature", but according to historianOliver Schmitt, it remains unclear whether Muzaka meant this in terms of origin or mentality..[1]" This was later removed by a user without any proper explanation. I don't see what's the problem here? It's a completely scholarly analysis of a historical document!Jagjit Karan (talk) 11:18, 23 October 2025
Der bereits erwähnte Giovanni Musachi bezeichnete Skanderbeg, den berühmtesten Kastriota, als einen Mann, der ‚serbisch von Natur‘ sei.
