Talk:Malësia

message: I don't know why the article has Gjon Buzuku listed as a Malsore, when he is from the Kraje/Shestani region in Bar, Montenegro from the village of Brisku. There is also documented fact and there is not prof at all that he was from Malsia. He was from Brisku Posht, ne breg liqeni shkodres. Not Malsia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.27.243.165 (talk) 00:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I've taken it upon myself to clean up this article, alond with the individual clan descriptions. I have some excellent historical sources at my disposal (as well as some oral histories). With my info AND the raw information contained in the article, I suspect it will be as accurate as possible.

thread_title:  Clean Up 

message: I had to delete much of the geography section because, not only was it too bulky, but most of the information that was there was too tedious. I'm currently working on a map that will express what the previous author was trying to say.
Trust me, much editing and adding of information will be done later, although now I simply want to keep the page clean of redudant information. Further, it sounds plagiarized from a textbook so, to be on the safe side, let's leave it out (e.g. "Geography is the only way to know a people," etc.). It will be fixed, I promise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.46.116.90 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

1) Maltsia is not about being catholic or muslim but about maintaining the pre-ottoman tradition
2) It was Prenk Tsali that lead the anti-communist rebellion against the communists and the war took place in Kelmen. 
Llesh Marashi was important and the head of Shkodra County for a time, but not the leader.  
The War took place in Kelmen, not in Shkrel.  
3) Kelmeni is by far the largest region, if we count the new settlements in Rugova and the Adriatic Shore.
4)  Keep this in mind.  Maltsia people are not called tribes.  That is what the Islamic Fundamentalist/Communist/Homosexual Enver Hodja Called us only to hide his turkish/gypsy/arabic origins.  
Maltsia has always been known as "Male"  (mountains).  So Maltsia has 7 Mountains NOT 7 tribes.  Thank you. 
If you do not mind, please stay out of my way, unless, you too, are doing the homework before "contributing".....  thanks  a million   ... u're all brothers n' sisters of mine.
By the way, if you know someone that understands Gheg Albanian and can translate it for you in english, check this site Malcia esepcially, check the RESOURCES, as they come from Marin Sirdani, the founder of Albanian Critical History, Counsel of Austro-Hungary and many other albanologists, anthropoligsts, dialectologists, writers and  other professionals.

thread_title: Moved comments from article to talk page

message: I edited this section to remove the reference that Kastrat is within Montenegro. This is erroneous. My grandfather hails from there, and he was without question born in Albania. I am not sure why such obvious misinformation was included here, but it is fixed now. It is a simple matter of geography; if you have any questions, consult a map. Also, please note that there is no relation whatsoever between Kastrati and Berisha, the two being at opposite ends of the country (Ghegg from the North; Tosk from the South). Any Albanian will tell you that any proposed affiliation is ludicrous. Furthermore, some Albanians possess Slavic names only as a result of Slavic domination of the region. The same is true of any family of Kastrat. There is no inconclusiveness regarding whether or not Kastrat is “originally” Albanian, regardless of Slavic influence. It is also true that most Montenegrins are of Albanian origin themselves, having undergone Slavicization throughout history. The necessary corrections have been made.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.44.182 (talk) 16:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

message: His name is spelled Prek Cali. It is incorrect to write it out as Prenk Cali.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.56.93 (talk) 18:48, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Could Malesia derive from a contraction of Mal (mountain or mountain side) and Zi (black) to mean "black mountain"? I understand it also can mean "highlands" but I think this alternative is worthy of consideration. The concept of the "black mountain" is also seen in nearby Montenegro, once a part of Illyria as well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.201.175.183 (talk) 09:20, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  "SHKRELSMEN" 

message: Malesija, Montenegro is the BCMS spelling for Malësia, a region divided between Montenegro and Albania. There is no point in having two articles for a single region with shared history, culture and politics. Bibliography doesn't do that and it hasn't happened in real life either as they are pretty much similar in all aspects. For example, a major part of the culture of the area are its tribes. Bibliography doesn't treat them as communities of different regions, but as the ten tribes of Malësia as an indivisible concept. Literally, the only thing this article has to offer to Malësia is the BCMS spelling. I propose for it to be merged into Malësia. --Maleschreiber (talk) 19:45, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
