DrivastDrisht – This isn't so much as page rename as a problem with two slightly messy articles at inconsistent page names, but the page rename may help in sorting it out. The other article is Drisht Castle, a stub about the ruined medieval castle of Drivastum (Latin)/Drivast (Serbian)/Drisht (Albanian), to which 80% of the content of article Drivast refers, except that the usual geographical map, template, etc. on Drivast obviously refer to the modern Albanian-speaking village of Drisht (Albanian) at the foot of the hill where the ruins and archeological site of old Drivastum lie. Ideally the 80% which refers to the old ruined fortress and settlement needs cut-and-paste from the village stub to the ruined castle stub - old Drivast was physically next to the castle not the village. But before doing that bringing it to WP:RM to get input on whether the village and the ruins should have consistent names, and if so in Albanian or Serbian or Latin.

Will you please back up your proposal with sources and wikipedia policies?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:09, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Re sources, I'm trusting those who participate to look for themselves. re MOS "consistent with related articles" In ictu oculi (talk) 00:30, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
All Drisht search results on the linked page are unrelated to the topic of the article. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:56, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Antidiskriminator, ZjarriRrethues has helpfully set the search to see the tail. What you're looking at is a tail which does include some noise, Nietzche for example. Go back to the earlier pages to see that ZjarriRrethues has conducted a correct search. This isn't really the issue, but obviously the modern Albanian name gets 10x as many GBhits since 1990 as the Serbian name:
Drivast 10x
Drisht 113x

Incorrect. It is 52 Drisht hits after deghosting, with most of hits refering to unrelated topic like Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 18:58, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong argument. There are hundreds of villages and other places in Albania which name is derived from Serbian language.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question:@Majuru: Will you please be so kind to present some arguments for your accusations, i.e. a list of "Serbian users" with diffs which prove that they "shortened the medieval name of Drivastum to Drivast" and "presented it as "Slavic" toponym"? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 18:33, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, merge

[edit]

As an alternative to rename above, the three other interwikis only have a single article:

Maybe the 2 on en.wiki should be merged? The village is barely notable without the castle, beyond the completeness aspect of geo stubs. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:52, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. The village and the castle are two separate topics.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:06, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Antidiskriminator. If that's the case then en.wp has two articles on the castle and no articles on the village. See the problem? In ictu oculi (talk) 00:35, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Drivast article begins with: is a village
Drisht Castle article begins with: is a ruined castle

Illyrian adriatic

[edit]

There is no such thing as an Illyrian adriatic intermediary nor a record of such language. These are nothing but speculative theories that have no evidence. TheCreatorOne (talk) 10:32, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
