@Sadko, regarding the removal of Jusuf Osmani’s Kolonizimi Serb i Kosovës - the justification that he's "an archivist and not a historian" doesn't hold up under WP:RS. Osmani holds a PhD in archival science, directed the State Archives of Kosovo, and is widely cited for his work on colonization and demographic history in the region. His research is grounded in primary archival sources and published by reputable institutions. Furthermore, the edition in question features an introduction by Noel Malcolm, a highly respected scholar of Balkan history who reviewed the book. This is a clear non-biased endorsement of the work’s academic merit. An editor with years of experience such as yourself should recognize that this easily qualifies as a reliable source per Wikipedia standards, and its removal lacks a basis in Wiki policy.

:Yes, as I mentioned, he's not a historian. His academic work has been cited very little, and the organization he works for has a short history with limited scholarly output. I’ve verified all of this. It's quite debatable whether this qualifies as RS. — Sadko (words are wind) 18:13, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
