Template:bor vs. Template:der
You should only use the bor when the current term was directly borrowed from the other language- "ultimately from" and bor can never refer to the same thing. For instance, I can't use "en" at because it was Middle English that borrowed the word- and I definitely can't say "ultimately from en" because the Latin term changed into the Old French term at least half a millennium before English even existed, with Old French becoming Middle French at least a century or two before, as well. I also have problems with your stating without qualifiers that Latin words are from Proto-Albanian, but that needs to be discussed with others who know more than I do- this is too obviously and completely wrong according to Wiktionary practice for me to wait for anyone else to weigh in.

Unexplained deletions
Hi there. Whilst we welcome all edits, what we don’t like is the sporadic removing of them for no reason. Having reverted a couple of your edits recently, I’d just like to reiterate that changing the etymology of an Albanian word doesn’t change it in real life. If it’s derived from Serbo-Croatian or has borrowed a term from it, it’s done exactly that regardless of anyone’s preference.

Please don’t let me catch you doing this again. ArbDardh (talk) 20:35, 20 February 2020 (UTC)ArbDardh

Hi there. I’m always grateful to see new entries such as these, but make sure to use a capital letter as it is a proper noun. ArbDardh (talk) 12:55, 12 April 2020 (UTC)ArbDardh

Formatting
Hello there. Please take utmost care when creating new entries. Although they are interesting, it is incredibly annoying and a hassle to then have to edit them afterwards, like in οὔθα. ArbDardh (talk) 16:58, 9 May 2020 (UTC)ArbDardh

Category:Tbot entries (Albanian)
Hi! I see you've been working with Albanian recently. Would you be able to check a few of our Albanian entries? The ones in Category:Tbot entries (Albanian) were made by a bot more than 10 years ago, and haven't received any "love". --Dada por viva (talk) 18:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

барза
Hello, you're probably not aware that you have created a Ukrainian entry with an accented Roman letter "á" - "бáрза" as the page title. Please take more care or refrain from editing in languages you don't know. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:22, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Edits to Romanian etymologies
References to Wikipedia articles or appendices are not considered reliable, so I had to revert your edits. I was also forced to revert some of your other edits where a published source was added, because the information could not be corroborated. Please be careful when changing etymologies which are disputed by scholars – we've had in the past (and even to some extent in the present) a lot of disputes when it comes to the Romanian substratum and how it relates to Albanian. In order to avoid further disputes, I advise you to not eliminate ambiguity, it's better to say "[A] possible theory..." or "[A]n alternative theory suggests...", than to eliminate the notion that there are conflicting theories as to the origins of the discussed lemmas. And remember to always back up your statements with credible sources, preferably several if that is possible. Let me know if I can help with anything! --Robbie SWE (talk) 12:10, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Removals
Why did you remove these entries? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:34, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

IPA
Why do you use long vowels when you write Albanian words' IPA transcription? FierakuiVërtet (talk) 11:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

thikë
Lumbardhia, please stop edit-warring, insisting that cannot be borrowed from Latin. Thousands of Albanian word are borrowed from Latin. Also see Reconstruction talk:Illyrian/sika. -- Sokkjō 19:22, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Adding categories
When adding categories, please use auto cat instead of just creating a manual list, like you did at Category:Albanian terms derived from Lombardic. Theknightwho (talk) 13:50, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
