Suppose we need something that deals with him and his personality and origin. For the moment I've changed the tertiary source (which by the way has several historical errors, like in the date of Bizani Battle [[1]]), with a secondary source.Alexikoua (talk) 13:35, 25 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
The above tertiary source that you deleted can be used for his ethnicity. You have no sources to show that he was not Albanian, but Greek, in fact the quoted source that you entered doesn't support that he was Greek, so why did you remove the tertiary source? I would expect that you find a source that he is Greek, and at that point you make the controversial edits such as these, don't you think? --Sulmues(talk) 15:48, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
The secondary source says clearly that he is Greek ((check the quote). The specific tertiary has several historical inaccuracies. Something that's really impressive is the his name is completely absent in Albanian bibliography.Alexikoua (talk) 18:08, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
It simply says "Son of the Greek nation", but it doesn't mention his ethnicity: at that time a cultural hellenization has overcome his original ancestry. The inexisting Albanian bibliography on him isn't an argument: We had virtually almost nothing prior to 2000 on Vangjel Meksi--Sulmues(talk) 18:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
