I took some content used from Tsoutsoumpis and added it to the article. I added his paper in the list of sources for easy use. Cham-Axis collaboration is mentioned alongisde other major reasons. Botushali (talk) 03:19, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You just copy-pasted what another added at another article. Btw the Cham-claimed figure of 35,000 is ludicrous, since the actual number of Muslim Chams was just 20,000-25,000 in all of Epirus. Khirurg (talk) 03:25, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, as soon as I saw what Maleschrieber posted on Expulsion of Cham Albanians I decided to copy-paste that here. It's a good, succinct way to describe the multi-faceted reality of the Cham expulsion in line with WP:NPOV. The 35,000 figure may indeed be excessive, so remove that if you like. The main thing is to reflect the issues beyond a one-dimensional POV. Botushali (talk) 03:29, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another problem is the sentence: "The first certain reference to Albanians as an ethnic group comes from 11th century chronicler Michael Attaleiates who describes them as living in the theme of Dyrrhachium." In fact Attaleiates mentiones an Celtic tribe and just once. So either cite the right reference or remove, please.Sorbonneparis (talk) 17:06, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Attaleiates is referring to a Celtic tribe in the Balkans during the 11th century CE? Right… Botushali (talk) 21:48, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Religion

Remove the "82%" in muslim albanians. They make only 59% of the population. Christians make 38% of the population and you should ignore the 2011 census because it was claimed as inappropriate by Council of Europe. 188.172.110.100 (talk) 10:10, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Religion of Albanians

Remove the "Predominately" and "Minority" terms, because it's a very big mistake. Albanians have the largest religious deversity in Europe. 188.172.111.231 (talk) 07:23, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@188.172.111.231 I agree with that too, also Muslims dont make 70 or 80% of Albania, only 60% and the Orthodox are the majority of Albanian Christians. DenisBendaj08 (talk) 11:32, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Turkish language is not spoken in Albania

Turkish language is not spoken in Albania, that’s a wrong statement . 2001:2043:BC01:CB00:A4E9:1184:A30E:4112 (talk) 20:17, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Religion

There are some things that must be changed in this article:
1)Remove the terms Majority and Minority in the Religion section of the introduction, despite the differencrs in the percentages they are treated equally and in Christianity part, put Orthodoxy in the beggining, because there are less Albanian Catholics than Albanian Orthodox.
2)Remove the table of religions towards the end of the article, mos of the datas are completely wrong. DenisBendaj08 (talk) 11:30, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose the table to be removed. The numbers in it are backed by sources. Wikipedia is based on a sources, not on personal opinions. Jingiby (talk) 12:13, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jingiby I agree DenisBendaj08 (talk) 12:29, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
