Yes.
The next article I plan to write will be on the Sino-Albanian split. The third will be on the June Revolution of 1924. The fourth will maybe be a complete rewrite of the Enver Hoxha article in order to make it awesome. The fifth might be Socialist Albania or the National Liberation War against the Italian and Nazi German occupiers. My eventual goal is to rewrite the whole History of Albania article.

I didn't read any of it
oh
But authors explain those actions and give them context.
Also while we're on the subject he's a manly Stalin quote:
Marxism does not at all deny the role played by outstanding individuals or that history is made by people. In Marx's The Poverty of Philosophy and in other works of his you will find it stated that it is people who make history. But, of course, people do not make history according to the promptings of their imagination or as some fancy strikes them. Every new generation encounters definite conditions already existing, ready-made when that generation was born. And great people are worth anything at all only to the extent that they are able correctly to understand these conditions, to understand how to change them. If they fail to understand these conditions and want to alter them according to the promptings of their imagination, they will land themselves in the situation of Don Quixote. Thus it is precisely Marx's view that people must not be counterposed to conditions. It is people who make history, but they do so only to the extent that they correctly understand the conditions that they have found ready-made, and only to the extent that they understand how to change those conditions.
The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The article should have references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial cleanup.
jesus christ
I don't really understand why anyone would be that interested in Albanian history
honestly mrdie, no one here gives a shit about this crap.

I don't have Aspergers. I'm interested in making articles which actually explain the subject. I used neither original research (how could I when nearly every single sentence is sourced?) nor does it contain "irrelevant material" (unless the whole article is irrelevant har-de-har), in fact various persons have praised it.
Because it's interesting. Even the article I wrote is quite unique: Albania was the only country to stand in defiance against the Soviets and emerge victorious.

I don't think Casual Discourse is so active and/or fragile that my topic will foretell its doom.

You mean it was a socialist state which defended the work of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin against the Soviet revisionists.
As Hoxha once said, "The modern revisionists and reactionaries call us Stalinists, thinking that they insult us and, in fact, that is their aim. On the contrary, however, they glorify us with this epithet: it is an honour for us to be Stalinists, because, since we were Stalinists, the enemy could not conquer us, and never will conquer us as long as we remain Stalinists."
To quote one source:
"one finds that the standard of living of the lowest-paid stratum of the Albanian working people is now [1988] higher than that of the lowest-paid stratum of the British working class."
(Winnifrith, Tom (ed). Perspectives on Albania. New York: St. Martin's Press. 1992. p. 135.)
James S. O'Donell in A Coming of Age: Albania under Enver Hoxha, Peter R. Prifti in Socialist Albania since 1944, etc. all note the economic and social progress made during the socialist period. It was only with the economic "reforms" of January 1990 and onwards that the economy become severely dislocated and basically collapsed.
As for what happened after that:
"With the collapse of Communism in 1991 Albania was convulsed by a violent rejection of everything associated with Hoxha... The reaction to him has severely damaged Albanian education from the actual school buildings to its quality and content. With the fall of Communism schoolhouses were often see as symbols of the regime and therefore destroyed. The virulent revival of blood feuds, which a hapless central authority can do little to remedy, requires thousands of school-age children to stay at home. The economic disaster that is Albania has little funding left for education. The population of Tirana grew from approximately 300,000 in 1991 to almost one million in 2003, but not one new high school was built during that twelve-year period. The mass exodus of the best and the brightest — in the first ten years following the collapse of Communism possibly 20% of the population fled what they considered a hopeless situation — has resulted in an unprecedented brain-drain. Albanian education is in crisis with no quick fix in sight. Women's rights, another of Hoxha's achievements, have been severely set back with the explosion of human trafficking which has seen thousands of Albanian girls and women transported abroad for prostitution and thousands more kept home from school by their parents for fear of such forcible abduction... with patriotic intellectuals openly suggesting that the only way out of the morass may be for Albania to become a ward of the United Nations or an Italian condominium."
(Fischer, Bernd J (ed). Balkan Strongmen. West Lafayette, IN: Purdue University Press. 2007. pp. 266-267.)
