Sidebar images - clockwise?[edit]

The sidebar images don't appear for me in clockwise order compared to the caption. The caption seems like it reads in rows left to right. 88.111.82.82 (talk) 22:20, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: You may not ask editors to generate prose when creating edit requests; please re-open the request (or make a new one) with your sources alongside the prose you want added exactly. —Sirdog (talk) 04:16, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

Id suggest adding the Serbian name Drač and the Greek name Dyrrhachium Hidontknow (talk) 12:37, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The name during greek colonisation its already mentioned in etymology. The serbian name its as important as the name "Qyteti i Bardhe" for Belgrade. So definitely no. RoyalHeritageAlb (talk) 12:55, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 9 March 2023[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

{{subst:trim|1= The original etymology in ancient Greek language of the city Epidamnos (at the time of it's creation 700 B.C. approx.) Επίδαμνος = επί δάμνος – δάμνημι = δαμάζω

επί = epi [adverb] means on top or besides, used in this naming for emphatic purposes, δάμνος/δαμάζω = damnos/ damazo noun and verb meaning taming/tame of the surrounding wild nature in order to create a settlement/city. Did proto-Albanian??? come before ancient Greek colonists from Corinth and Corcyra, and those ancient Greek colonists that created hundreds of city-ports all over the Mediterranean sea new proto-Albanian??? in 700 B.C.??? Is the institution Wikipedia interested in authentic history or accepting and publishing fabricated historical propaganda?

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Lizthegrey (talk) 18:53, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
