File talk:Map of the Principality of Arbanon.png

According to Robert Elsie (19 March 2010) Historical Dictionary of Albania, Scarecrow Press, pp. 54, 371 ISBN: 978-0-8108-7380-3. , Arbanon was centred at Kruja, and the Albanian coast had no noticeable Albanian communities throughout the Middle Ages. According to (2007) Imagining Frontiers, Contesting Identities, Edizioni Plus, p. 133 ISBN: 978-88-8492-466-7. , Arbanon was a small territory in the 11th and 12th centuries, stretching from rivers Devoll to Shkumbi. The map, claiming to show 11th and 12th c. history, shows Arbanon with a coastline stretching from south of Alessio to the north of Durazzo. This area would in fact have been part of Byzantine Dyrrhachium until at least 1204. --Zoupan (talk) 17:51, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

It appears that this political entity as it is depicted here is entirely a product of original research.Alexikoua (talk) 21:09, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

The only source for this map is 2002 work of Albanian historiography that parrots works of historians from Enver Hoxha period, such as Skender Anamali (d 1996) and Kristaq Prifti. Even Robert Elsie (awarded by president of Albania) explained in 2010 that there was still no reliable and objective historiography in Albania (.... there is still no objective and reliable historiography in Albania - Elsie, Robert (2010), Historical dictionary of Albania, Lanham: Scarecrow Press, ISBN 9780810873803, OCLC 454375231, retrieved 4 February 2012). Until reliable sources are presented to support for this map, it should not be used anywhere and deleted within a reasonable period of time. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 13:19, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
