English name, that we rename to use the Skanderbeg spelling used elsewhere on en.wiki for the hero). I have tried to clean up the language and removed the over-the-top praise given the author, and there

This article is almost incomprehensible, due to a combination of poor
English, non-neutral viewpoint, and lack of organization. The only reference is to a work in a foreign language that (contrary to the statement of this article) is not Latin. If this is meant to be an article about the work, it
