Tourism in Albania

Tourism in Albania has been a key element to the country's economic activity and is constantly developing. Albania is characterized by its rich archaeological and cultural heritage dating back to the classical period when Illyrians and Ancient Greeks inhabited the region. Over the course of history, the territory of Albania was occupied and populated by Romans, Byzantines, Venetians and Ottomans. Notably the country features unspoiled beaches, mountainous landscapes, traditional cuisine, archaeological artifacts, unique traditions, low prices and the wild atmosphere of the countryside.

The country lies in Southeastern Europe bordering Montenegro to the northwest, Kosovo to the northeast, North Macedonia to the east and Greece to the south. The Mediterranean Sea with the Adriatic and Ionian Sea make up the entire west border of the country. The country's coastline length is about 481 km composed of both sandy and rocky beaches, bays, caves, cliffs, capes and lagoons. Although the country features notable diversity with the landscape ranging from the snow-capped Albanian Alps, Sharr, Skanderbeg, Korab, Pindus and Ceraunian Mountains to the sunny Albanian Adriatic and Ionian Sea Coasts.

The country has a distinctly Mediterranean climate. Across the country's territory there is a wide range of microclimates due to differing soil types and topography. The warmest areas of the country are found at the coasts where the climate is profoundly impacted by the sea, while the coldest parts at the northern and eastern hinterlands, where snowy forested climate is prevalent.

Re: Scientology
Your recent edits of that article state: "hidden truths only revealed.." And I would attempt to communicate with you in this area, if you are able. Scientology is maybe 25 million worlds. Even in the 1950's Hubbard told his view of the Physical Universe. I'm saying, there are confidential items. Call them hidden truths if you think they are truths. But they are not about the nature of the physical universe. He published all of that in the 1950s. For example, in "History of Man" he stated his view of the age of the physical universe, and there are many many other examples of his statements. The OT levels (confidential and if you prefer, hidden from public view) don't have vast secrets of his views but instead are about more or less specific trauma that have happened in the past. Except OT I which isn't about the past really and isn't a secret really, except for it methods. Terryeo 22:26, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Unsure
I'm unsure how to use this Wikipedia comment system so I'll make this short. I'm the one that removed a lot of the ebaumsworld content because it's pure libel and bullshit. If you think that the majority of an articles inside wikipedia for the topic "ebaumsworld" should be about the site ebaumsworldsucks you need to pull your head out of your ass and resign from your position as editor.

It's your obligation to provide fair and unbiased articles, try to live up to that obligation.

Thanks for your help. I changed your modification. I had been using the title of the article as the title of the external link, which is why that link had "confront the racist" in its title. Problem is, it wasn't an actual "article", (just pictures) and with that title it was begging for some vandalism. Which is why I changed it slightly. We sacrifice some consistency to deter vandalism. Seems like a decent trade-off to me.--Rockero 03:32, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Possible New Article for West New York'o philes
A prominent newspaper editor who worked for papers like the New York Daily Mirror named Philip A. Payne lived in West New York, according to an article in the Jan. 29, 2006 Union City Reporter (which I assume was also printed in the Hudson Reporter's other area papers.) There is no article on him as of now, and I have other article I wish to work on, so as a suggestion, if anyone wants to make a one on him, and you want the article as reference, you can see it in full at: http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/9012/philippaynearticle7hw.jpg. You can also begin a section on Noteworthy Residents for that city's page (as I did for Union City), and place him in there. I'm sending this message to all the Wikipedians that I saw on the History page for the West New York article, so you don't have to respond to me about this. Nightscream 00:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for removing the copy vios from List of episodes of Power Rangers. Unfortunately, User:Rick lay95 chose to revert your edit. I've reverted the article back to an earlier version which takes out the copy vios (there may also be more further down, but I'll get to those as I work through the clean-up!) and also removes the entirely POV "Landmark episodes" section and the "Air dates" section which only duplicates info provided in the tables. It does also remove the images which were originally deleted, but see my comment on Rick lay95's talk page - if he wants to add them back in, I think he should do so properly rather than just clicking on revert and then having other editors work to remove the copy vios.

I'm not sure about the number of images being used in this article - the terms of fair use permit a "limited number" of screenshots for the identification and critical commentary of the programme, and I suspect that this article goes beyond a limited number, but for now my priority is to get rid of any remaining copy vios in the article and trying to get Rick lay95 to cooperate!

Thanks again, CLW 08:09, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Removing bad alerts from AIV
Would it have been appropriate for me to have removed the requests to admin intervention if I was 100% certain that they were not vandalism (which I was), and were not directed at me, or is that an admin-only task? Thanks! Hipocrite - « Talk » 18:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Your summary at WP:AN was well done and appreciated. KHM03 00:01, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk page policy
The page you cited at User talk:EllG73 is not policy. Please don't bully a user with it, as there are better ways to deal with disruptive users that should be saved for when it is truly warranted. - Taxman Talk 05:30, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Vandalism is policy, and it's listed there (under "Removing warnings"). I would have left it alone if it wasn't for the personal attack. If he had removed the warning, he would have been warned over and over by different people anyway. Evil saltine 05:41, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * So it is, but that's a pretty new criterion, and it was being repeatedly applied just because the user was removing comments. Sometimes it's better just to de-escalate instead of adding fuel to the fire. - Taxman Talk 15:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

vandalism
i see that you have blocked the ip 202.91.79.34 before.. well.. he/she has been doing a lot of vandalism today too. see contributions

on the same note, i believe that the user 'missuk' is the same person. see contributions

He's asked for three admins to look at the case and make a decision; so I wanted to know if you would like to look at the case. He promised ME he would never vandalize again, I don't like it when people come back on their promises; he deserves a permanent ban. As I said I am going to ask three admins: you, User:Nlu, and User:Antandrus. --Holocron 15:25, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi you did upload on 25 November 2003 this image without an explicit license given and later somebody else did add the GFDL tag to it. As now again somebody else did move it into Commons without giving a proper description with author and such I just want to ask you if the GFDL licensing of that image is ok, so that I can make a proper description in Commons. I also want to assure that in future there are no further questions... Cheers, Arnomane 20:51, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. I have now improved the description in Commons somewhat see (used standard description template and sorted it into a category), so that this image can be found easily in future. Arnomane 14:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available
 After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:20, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Puke & Snot requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pilotboi / talk / contribs 07:08, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Attack Retrieve Capture logo.png
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Attack Retrieve Capture logo.png. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:13, 11 September 2007 (UTC).

American Megatrends
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article American Megatrends, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:NTLDR selection menu.png
Thank you for uploading Image:NTLDR selection menu.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Block needed?
Hi, Evil saltine. I noticed that you blocked for 24 h for a personal attack on user:Allstarecho on March 2. The IP has now made another personal attack on Allstarecho, which was reverted by user:Adambro. Adambro also issued a vandalism warning - 5 minutes after a warning from another editor for an unconstructive edit. Given the nature of the personal attack, the fact that it followed so close after the previous block, the fact that the same editor was targetted, and the lack of constructive edits in the meantime (as shown by the contribution history), I thought you might believe a more forceful response was appropriate. Thanks, Jay*Jay (talk) 01:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Andy Pearson - why has this been deleted?
Evil saltine I added a page for Andy Pearson yesterday and it is the first time I have used Wikipedia. I then forwarded the link to Andy Pearson himself so he could have a look at it himself however he couldnt find anything as you had already got rid of it. We do the PR for Andy Pearson and I have written plenty of copy for him previously. Please would you tell me why you deleted this page, and why it was assumed to be an infringment on copywright when I wrote it?

I still would like to add the page again for Andy Pearson so please tell me how people normally go about this as I don't see I have done anything wrong.

Thank you

Thanks for uploading Image:KSWB-TV logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Good Day!
Good day, Mr. Evil Saltine! I had reported IP address 121.54.100.146 on Administrator intervention against vandalism, and thank you for your prompt reply in regard to that report. You advised me to consider a dispute resolution with the said IP address, however, I believe there is no edit dispute between me and the said IP address.

AfD nomination of Master Shake
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Master Shake. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Master Shake (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Self-Promotion?
Hi, I notice that you blocked User:Thepoliticalguide. I have just responded to a post of his (apparently his first and only) at Talk:Barack Obama, wherein he reference-links the eponymous site twice. I noted that he was red, which I interpreted as not having created his own user page yet, and I neglected to visit his talk page, where your block was indicated. Should the alleged self-promotional links be removed from the Obama talk page, or how is this handled? I've been here awhile, but I primarily stick to the editorial side of things and am not that well-versed in process. I'll watch this page for your response.

RedPawl
Not being critical, but I think that this user is going to need an indef block as their edits are consistently the same - the editor's only purpose seems to be to push 'Cornwall is a country' which is clearly pov and wrong. It can be left until next time of course, as there will be a next time. Dougweller (talk) 13:13, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't expect much change from him either, but an indef block would need to at least take place at WP:AN/I. He's been around long enough that there would need to be some kind of consensus to permaban him, and he's not an outright vandal, just an obstinate POV pusher.

Okay, so I'm really confused. When I saw the article, I didn't see anything in the CSD that would apply to this, so I nominated it at AfD.

 * Sorry, I may have reacted a little quickly here. As I'm sure you know this page is a target for some serious POV pushing (from multiple viewpoints) and vandalism. Sometimes people with honest intentions don't get as much of the benefit of the doubt as they should. Especially considering the way Beck uses his twitter feed (i.e., "Watch Dogs: FIND EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON CASS SUNSTEIN, MARK LLOYD AND CAROL BROWNER. Do not link before burning to disc."), it seems to be particularly un-encyclopedic to include. I did read through the discussion you linked, but I don't think that Beck's feed warrants making an exception to the established policy. — Mike :  tlk  19:50, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
