The section about borders needs some clarification. It requires too much knowledge of geography. And, it is not clear what is meant by political balance, why natural borders were essential and why the border occurs west of the mountains.

It seems to me that this section is a hidden reply to the allegation that the borders of Albania were assigned unjustly in the fear of a too powerful Albania. True, talk about political balance may mean that fear, and also borders west of the mountains might mean the same.

I think the topic of Greater Albania should explicitly be discussed in the article, at least mentioned. Andres 16:55, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)


The small-size new map is not readable. The simple map was much clearer. I think we still need it. As to the bigger version, it is not shown big enough either, at least by my browser. Besides, the readable map should be in the body of the article, so it would be more usable. Andres 16:41, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC)

The large one is 1019x1274 pixels (the small one is 300x375 pixels) and it should be readable, make sure your browser isn't resizing it. The old one didn't show much besides some city names (which the larger version has) so I thought I wouldn't make the page longer to load by having two maps. We can put it back in if you think it's still needed. Dori 16:49, Oct 22, 2003 (UTC)
You are right, my browser resizes the large map. Anyway, I think that the old map is still needed. Andres 18:47, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC)
OK, I restored it. Dori 21:57, Oct 22, 2003 (UTC)

I found an image of Albania from space (NASA's Earth Observatory), don't know if they should be included in the article Dori 05:25, Nov 21, 2003 (UTC)

I think the more pictures the better. Andres 09:41, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC)
