VenizelosHi and welcome! As a matter of fact, you submitted the article for assessment and not for review, which is more detailed. The WP:GREECE conducts reviews here. The WP:BIOGRAPHY and the [{WP:MILHIST]] also conduct peer-reviews, where more frequently users watch and review. I usually review in WP:BIO and in WP:GREECE, whenever I see any article submitted there. There is no rule about who reviews, but the reviewers are usually experienced users.--Yannismarou (talk) 12:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Alexander the Great, Macedon KingPlease look at the newest entry in the "Talk" of "Alexander the Great" article. Several are the reasons why Alexander the Great should not be qualified as "Greek".

National SchismHello! I did not intend to edit anything today (university exams etc), it was a spur of the moment thing, when I saw it in my watchlist. I always wanted to add some more background to the story, and it was pretty much formed out in my mind, so I added it. I will not have time to contribute to any real extent in the following weeks, except perhaps some copyediting. So you are free to edit it as you like. If I have any suggestions, I'll let you know first. Cheers & happy editing! Constantine ✍ 12:09, 18 June 2008 (UTC) Greek MonarchsDear A.Cython, I understand the logic of your category edits, but they go against convention. They were not ethnic Greeks but, for better or worse (mostly the latter), they were heads of the Greek state, and that throws them into the categories at issue.

History of DemocracyI'm making some changes to your history of democracy submissions... Verb tenses were wrong and articles are missing. I shall have to educate myself a bit on Greek so I can see if I can help you correct the pattern of errors which are present. An example would be "... The two Kings served as the head of the government and they were ruling simultaneously...". I would write this as "The two kings served as the heads of the government and they ruled simultaneously" a) Don't capitalize nouns b) count must match and c) tenses like "were ruling" should be a simple past tense like "ruled". Sorry, I don't know the proper names for the tense and can't explain it except "were ruling" does not sound right. I will fix the Sparta section and maybe you can look at my changes and see if it helps. johnweeder@msn.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.125.14.2 (talk) 15:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

As you asked me I putted four english refs, included one from the University Press of Kentucky and one from the Cambridge University Press about the landings, the fighting, the bombardment and the “ignominious retreat” of the allied forces during the Noemvriana events. Hope to be OK. As for the brutal and humiliating actions they took that you will possibly ask me also to give refs I have photographic evidences (such as public beatings and humiliations or such as the enforcement of the flagmen of the Greek regiments to parade in front of the allied troops with their flags down etc.) But as I am sure you can understand, as a Greek editor cannot include such evidences of vassalage and national humiliation from our allies in an international encyclopedia's article.

It is the second time you are writing about the bombardment trying to familiarize me with justifications like “was needed to force the release of the Anglo-French captives by the Greek forces”. “Bombarding to release”? Is that really compatible with the logic? Did they know where their soldiers were held as prisoners? How could they be sure that they were not around when they sent their bombs from Faliro to Syntagma? Are you fully convinced that they really cared about them? Have you seen the WWI loses or read how they treated their “human material” during that war? About the numbers of the opponents: What you are not understanding is how much dick they felt against Greece (and not only). They were sure that even if they had sent 100 men, Greeks would never dreamed to touch them. If you cannot understand that particular spirit from the part of the Great Powers during their days being Empires, you will never understand anything about those events, likewise the events before and after. They sent their troops not to fight but to capture and in that they thought them enough. Their number was small not because of limited intelligence but because of the disregard they felt for the political will for opposition. And their estimation proved right, the politicians and the king in the last minute accepted their demands, the opposition came spontaneously from the part of the Greek army units. Today there is no English nor French who is not feeling ashamed reading such events. Even then their (French) Admiral wrote that he felt very uncomfortable doing what he did. In any case there is not a single historian that supports or justifies what happened. I am hoping that you will not be the first. --Factuarius (talk) 09:59, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Venizelos WWI 1918.jpgThanks for uploading File:Venizelos WWI 1918.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:54, 11 December 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Damiens.rf 16:54, 11 December 2009 (UTC) Can you help a bit?User:Wikiwatcher1 has been trolling around the Judaism page; see this bit of talk for a sample. He insists on using dictionary definitions over sources by Jewish scholars. I suspect he has a general agenda reflected in his POV pushing in other articles. I see you have had some experience dealing with him. WP:DE points out that a disruptive editor often evades detection because the disruptive edits are spread out among different articles. I think there may be just such a pattern here. Would you mind watching the Judaism page and see how he has been altering a consensus-version text without any consideration to points made by editors who have been working on the article for years? If you see any shenanigans you are familiar with, your experienced comment would help. Thanks. Slrubenstein | Talk 00:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC) Rationale required on DemocracyIt is generally not good form to revert good faith edits, especially when fully explained and valid, without giving any rationale. You have restored completely uncited OR, already marked with numerous warning tags. I posted a talk page request to do something about all those erroneous paragraphs. They were made into subsections, and cluttered the TOC with the OR. If they were your OR, I'm sorry, but the material is not acceptable without sources. In addition, removing another editors work without any attempt to explain is typically what creates edit warring. I hope you can agree. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 07:55, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
GA Status of NoemvrianaAfter spending 8 hours checking refs, grammar, spelling and all the other criteria as required by Wikipedia rules (please see article talk page for list), I strongly believe that the article qualifies as a GA. I don't know if you wrote it, but you nominated it so: Congratulations! I have approved the article Noemvriana. It qualifies as a GA, and has been placed in the appropriate category. Cheers!

I think your work about Noemvriana is very interesting, that's why I decided to translate it into French some times ago. In fact, now, the French version is a featured article on our wikipedia. However, I just find a point which is a bit strange so I would like to know if you can verify it. You wrote : "On 3 November, du Fournet, used the sinking of two Greek merchant ships by a German submarine, as well as the secret agreement, to demand the surrender of the docked Greek war ships and took command of the Salamis French arsenal.(23) The Greek government yielded, and on the 19 October, the partial disarmament of Greek warships begun. The Allies towed away 30 lighter craft.(24) Three weeks later the French took over the Salamis naval base completely, and began using Greek ships operated by French crews.(25,26,27)." I think there is a chronological problem here and I would like to know if "19 October" is not "19 November". Unfortunately, I have not got the books you put in reference so I can't verify myself.

PhotoHello A. Cython, is it here I should talk with you? I wonder if you have a suggestion on where i should put my photo, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Exoria-Ios-Konstantinos-Dalianis-1917.pdf, ? Maybe just a link from Noemvriana to the photo? Best regards Hercules, (talk), 19:39, 15 november 2011 I meant the discussion page of the article Noemvriana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Noemvriana). But anyway, the photo is interesting but does not fit with the subject of that particular article. Also it would have more value as a photo for wiki articles if there were no arrows on it. I am not sure where it could fit at the moment, but maybe you are interested into creating an article about the exile of royalist/military people of that era, such an article would have been the ideal place for the photo.A.Cython (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2011 (UTC) VenizelosI went ahead and reverted all of the IP's edits, there was nothing constructive there.
