Hello,

Below are the specific changes I propose:

1. 1. 1. **Correction of a date error:**

  - **Current text:** "16 July: First Battle of Vërrin. KLA victory. First battle of the war in the Prizren region."  
  - **Proposed change:** "7 July: First Battle of Vërrin. KLA victory. First battle of the war in the Prizren region."  
  - **Reason & Source:** The first clash in the Prizren region occurred on 7 July, not 16 July, as confirmed by [Source: Pashtriku.org].

1. 1. 2. **Addition of an important event:**

  - **Proposed addition:** "Clashes in the Vërrini region on 17 May and April 1999."  
  - **Suggested placement:** Add under the relevant timeline sections for **16-17 May, 6-8 April, 22 and 24 April**.  
  - **Source:** [Source: Pashtriku.org]

1. 1. 3. **Improvement of wording:**

  - **Current text:**  
    - "1 September: Incident in Lez. 16 Militants killed. Serbian police victory.[41][42]"  
    - "1-2 September: First battle of Ješkovo, KLA victory."  
    - "1-5 September: First Battle of Vërrin. KLA victory."  
  - **Proposed changes:**  
    - "1-5 September: First Battle of Vërrin. KLA victory."  
    - "The incident in Lez was part of the Battle of Vërrini."  
    - "The 'First Battle of Ješkovo' does not need a separate entry, as it is already included elsewhere."  
  - **Reason:** The incident in Lez was part of the larger Battle of Vërrini, so it should be integrated rather than listed separately. Additionally, there is already an entry for the First Battle of Ješkovo, making this mention redundant.

1. 1. **Sources:**

- ^[1] - ^[2] - ^[3]

I hope this format clarifies my request. Please let me know if further modifications are needed.

Thank you! Diti04ZOP (talk) 15:57, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diti04ZOP

1. Not done The two sources at the end of the sentence in the article say 16 july 1998. I checked your source, and it writes about a battle, not in 1998 but on april 7, 1999 in Billusha. It is clear to me that an editor who is familiar with the language in the articles needs to take a look at this. Friendly, Lova Falk (talk) 16:47, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your reply. No, the event on April 7, 1999 is a different one that I would like to add separately. This source: ^[4] mentions that the first clashes took place on July 7, 1998, followed by a major battle on July 16, 1998. Diti04ZOP (talk) 15:40, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
