Wikipedia editor mainly focused on Albania-related politics, elections, civic protests, public institutions, culture, and current events.

About me

Hello, I am Matete Plays. I contribute mainly to articles connected with Albania, especially Albanian politics, elections, political parties, civic protests, public institutions, protected areas, and Albanian cultural figures.

I have been contributing to English Wikipedia since 2021. My recent editing has focused on improving outdated Albania-related pages, expanding short articles, creating or improving missing pages, adding reliable sources, updating election and political information, and maintaining articles during major political and civic developments.

Main areas of work

Albanian politics, elections, and institutions

I frequently work on articles related to Albanian political life, including election pages, political-party pages, government pages, and institutional pages. This includes updating political developments, election results, party information, government composition, controversies, and related biographies.

Selected articles I have worked on include:

Albanian politicians and public figures

I have created, expanded, updated, or helped maintain several Albania-related biography pages, especially politicians and public figures connected with recent political developments.

Selected articles include:

Protests, political crises, corruption, media, and democratic backsliding

A major part of my recent editing has focused on Albania-related protest movements, political crises, corruption, media freedom, and democratic backsliding. I try to improve these pages by adding reliable sources, updating outdated information, and separating allegations, investigations, official statements, and confirmed facts.

Selected articles include:

Environment and protected areas

I have also worked on Albania-related environmental and protected-area coverage, especially where environmental issues connect with public-interest controversies.

Selected articles include:

Albanian culture, music, and education

In addition to political topics, I have worked on Albanian cultural, musical, and educational pages, especially composers, artists, and institutions.

Selected articles include:

Articles created or significantly expanded

Some pages I have created, moved from draft, expanded, or substantially improved include:

Editing approach

I try to improve articles by:

adding reliable and verifiable sources;
updating outdated political, election, and institutional information;
expanding short or underdeveloped Albania-related pages;
improving article structure, tables, infoboxes, redirects, categories, and wikilinks;
fixing formatting problems, dead categories, disambiguation links, and outdated maintenance issues;
using neutral wording, especially for living persons;
distinguishing allegations, investigations, charges, official statements, and confirmed facts;
avoiding original research and unsourced claims;
participating in talk-page discussions, deletion discussions, requested moves, and current-events discussions when needed.

For controversial Albanian political topics and biographies of living persons, I try to follow Wikipedia's core content policies, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, reliable sourcing, no original research, and biographies of living persons.

Useful policy pages

Current focus

My current focus is improving Albania-related political and public-interest coverage after the 2025 Albanian parliamentary election, the formation of the Rama IV Government, and the 2026 protest movement. This includes updates to political-party pages, election tables, protest articles, corruption and media-freedom topics, protected-area pages, and related biographies.

I am also working on improving Albania-related historical protest and political-crisis coverage, including articles about the 2011, 2017, 2019, and 2019–2021 opposition protests and crises.

I am also working on improving Albania-related cultural coverage, especially pages about Albanian composers, artists, universities, and cultural institutions.
