Article title change[edit]

I'd do a name change proposal but I'm not sure what the title should be. The most notable fact about the Vlora is without contest its arrival in Bari in 1991, however beyond August 8 the ship is hardly cited anymore as the focus shifts to the immigrants in the stadium. Most sources on the ships backstory are also hazy.

For these reasons I'd propose renaming this article in the lines of "The Vlora refugees in Bari (1991)" or something along these lines, I'm not a specialist on historical articles so not too sure what the consensus is, any advice would be more than appreciated

Internet "hoax"[edit]

Images of this ship with the Albanian refugees in 1991 have circulated repeatedly on the internet with a false text, stating it shows WW2 refugees from Europe arriving in North Africa. This has been used by "liberals" to showcase that all of us may one day become refugees in need of help, and debunking this partially false use of the picture has been used by the "alt-right" to showcase the flippancy of "liberals". I think these mass media and social media incidents are notable enough to warrant inclusion here - if it can be properly sourced.--Nø (talk) 06:53, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Deportation through all means"[edit]

Shameful words, do you know the difference between "deportation" and "repatriation"? The agents at the border with Mexico, when they bring back illegal immigrants, do repatriations or deportations?--Namber uan (talk) 22:11, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
