The location is within the borders of Albania, not Greece

Ok, I'm really getting fed-up with very biased articles in Wikipedia. Let's take this article on the village of Leshnica. The village is situated in the Republic of Albania. Now, the fact that it is close to the Greek border, does not mean the village belongs to Greece. The more absurd "fact" is the last sentence - that the village belongs to Northern Epirus, an imaginary region created by Greek propaganda. I will be editing the article accordingly. In addition, I will put it on probation on the TaskForce Albania list.--Arbër T  ? 17:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Calm down. There is no harm in saying the village is 1 km away from the Greek border. It is a simple geographical fact. I don't see how you can possibly think this implies the village is in Greece, should be in Greece, or any such thing. I don't see anything in the article that even remotely implies such a thing. As for the term Northern Epirus, well, it merely refers to the northern part of the region of Epirus and is a legitimate geographical term. Anyway, the article seems fine to me the way it is now. --Tsourkpk (talk) 01:44, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is, however, harm in incorrectly citing a map to push a POV (falsifying sources). Also I have moved the page to the Albanian name, as it is in Albania and there is no established English usage. BalkanFever 02:17, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine, but just so you know, I'm not the one who did that. Should have checked though. --Tsourkpk (talk) 02:44, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
