List of big mistakes in this file

[edit]

There are numerous mistakes in this file that makes it basically wrong and misleading for readers. I wrote about it on en wiki, but probably this is more appropriate place. Some of mistakes are quite obvious, and maybe some needs additional expert attention, but those few quite obvious are probably enough for this file be useless for wiki projects. I would like to be able to improve the file, but I dont know how.

  1. Republic of Venice or Principality of Zeta? Till 1499. when Principality of Zeta became part of Ottoman Empire, it was under rule of Crnojević noble family, except Gulf of Kotor and Ulcinj. Here is map of Venetian territory, and it clearly shows that Venice did not control more than coastal parts of Principality of Zeta.
  2. Kastoria (Kostur) belonging to League of Lezhe? Map of territory of principalities that consisted League of Lezhe is wrong because it shows that Kastoria is under League rule, although Kastoria was under Ottoman rule from 1385 (more than 50 years before League was created) till 1912 when it became part of Greece.
  3. League of Lezhe or League of Venice? Lezhe is drawn like it belongs to Venice when League of Lezhe has been created.
  4. Korçë? "The Ottoman occupation began in 1440," is written in the article about Korçë on en wiki. If League of Lezhe was created in 1444, than its territory could not contain Korçë, like it is shown in the map?
  5. Lushnje? Here on official web site of Lushnje it is written that village Lushnje was under Ottoman control in 1431. Is there a source of information for placing Lushnje inside territory of League of Lezha?
  6. Moravian Serbia? Moravian Serbia did not exist in the time of League of Lezha.

I am totally inexperienced user on commons and dont know how to deal with problems like this, but I am willing to accept help and to hear other comments and advises, of course.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 20:48, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
