Can you urgently help Milhist please?
We've had a rather large bombshell dropped on us. The Wikipedia editorial team are aiming to release a version of Wikipedia on CD/DVD in time for the end of year holiday season. They've provided us with a list of 1333 Milhist articles they intend including.
The problem is that the quality of these articles varies considerably.
We've put together review page listing all the articles, in twenty-five article worklists. I'm hoping that 15-20 trusted editors can work through the list, weedying out problem articles and identifying suitable versions for release. The work is as far away from a tagging and assessing drive as you can imagine though, for convenience and ease of use, we've closely followed the traditional Milhist drive format.
This is, at the moment, an invitation-only review. The reason is that time is short and we can't afford too many mistakes. I'm only contacting experienced editors who performed very well indeed in the last two Milhist drives. I guess that working through a worklist of twenty-five articles will take between one and three hours to do. We're aiming to get the preliminary work done by next Sunday, so it's urgent too.
I do hope you can help but – if it's not too much trouble – if you are unable to participate at the moment, would you please let me know on my talk page? otherwise, please sign up here. Thank you for your time, --ROGER DAVIES talk 17:25, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Milhist W0.7: update
Thank you very much for your help in our review of the W0.7-nominated articles, which has proved to be a very worthwhile exercise. As the number of sub-standard articles found was much higher than anticipated, the coordinators are currently considering how best to follow this up, given the project's limited resources and the short time span – under three weeks - for making improvements.
The review has been a very worthwhile exercise and will lead to a major quality improvement initiative in the very near future. In the meantime, if you found any articles that you feel you could easily fix, I'd be very grateful if you invested a little time doing so. Please also feel free to nominate any articles for inclusion which you feel were overlooked. The procedure for this is here and the nominations should be made here. --ROGER DAVIES talk 07:44, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Patmos
Thank you for your many contributions to this article and numerous other articles in Greece and Turkey.
One small question on Patmos. What does a local (municipality) government have to do with immigration, legal or otherwise? In most countries, this is a function of the state not a town. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 12:31, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Well if your municpality is the one recieving the illegal immigration you might take things into your own control if the federal government fails to act. Plus, Greece is so porous that the state might allow the local governments some control over immigration. I really don't know, I'm not much of an expert on immigration in Greece. If you think that section on Patmos is News reporting then feel free to delete it or make it shorter. El Greco(talk) 02:47, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

{{Top Gear}} style edits
Hi,
From template:navbox/doc:
Changing the default styles is not recommended, but is possible
If there's no stronger reason than personal preference for overriding the default navbox colours, then this should be reverted. I don't see that any such reason has been given. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 15:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- What's your rationale, no body else was aginst the template style until you edited the template, where your consensus? El Greco(talk) 17:30, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- Silence implies consensus. If I raise an issue with you and you do not respond to it in five days while continuing to edit, I think it's only sensible that I assume you don't have a counterargument. I've now raised the issue on the template talk now anyway. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 13:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Greece does not recognize dual citzenship.
The former 60,000 Istanbulite Greek residents in Greece are referred to as dual Greek-Turkish citizens. This is false information as Greece does not recognize dual citzenship. They may either be Greek citizens who were formerly Turkish citizens (the vast majority are now Greek citizens) or are still Turkish citizens (Turkey on the other hand does recognize dual citizenship - with those countries who recognize it as well). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saguamundi (talk • contribs) 01:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

- WP:EL says not fansites as well. Plus your edit about the DJ boat has no source, and does not meet WP:RS or WP:V. El Greco(talk) 22:29, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
There is nothing in WP:EL that says no fansites. However, as I indicated - it is mainly a resource site, consisting of episode reviews, cast and crew contributions, episode and songlists, behind the scenes images and info, etc. After further investigation - the external link to tv.com contains the same information, including a discussion forum, and will be removed under the same premise. All or nothing, can't have it both ways. Either the same rules and standards are applied across the board, or they are not. Consistent application of standards is the entire spirit of WP. Other links to similar pages for tv.com from other all other wiki articles will be removed by bot as well. Thanks for helping to make wiki less of a source of resources and information.
As for the DJ edit - my source is the same as the original edit, which is the original article in the now defunct Starship Magazine. Nowhere in the article does it specifically say he designed the boat, however it does indicate it is a DJ Signature Edition, which typically denotes endorsement when referencing actors, and not design. Edit reverted. --scr Srobak (talk) 19:38, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Page 119 - "I was asked to design my own boat...my own 43. They weren't ready to give me a clean sheet of paper, but they pretty much said I could call the shots." -- That qualifies as designing the boat, not just endorsing it. El Greco(talk) 23:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Telling someone else the color patterns and where to put the tach is not "designing the boat" anymore than it is "designing a house" which also requires a structural engineering and design background. Weak. I will obtain documentation directly from Wellcraft in order to put this to rest. --scr Srobak (talk) 17:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Zakynthos - media listing all from the one stable?
Hi, i really do appreciate that wiki is not an advert hoarding but then why are all the radio stations from one media group listed, i question the reason for listing this particular company's products (in total) and, i question why no other form of media is allowed to be listed as well, particularly the non commercial island ezine. do i detect hidden interests or is this a genuine oversight. lets be honest here the bottom of the page reads like a classified ad! does anyone else agree that either all media is listed and treated fairly or no media is listed - im new here and sincerely hope that there are no bad 'rat smells' now that would be very disappointing? --Gladstone100 (talk) 18:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Skiathos Forest Fire
As a Wikepedia user and an active member of the community of Skiathos, I would like the link to the Skiathos forest fire 2007 to be removed. This article is actually non encyclopedic. There are forest fires across Greece every year and thats a fact. But it shouldn't be mentioned on every Greek islands wikipedia page. Skiathos is internationally know for being an island covered with pine forests, and after the 2007 forest fire the geographical aspect has not changed. Skiathos is still one of the richest in forests islands in Greece, so be kind to remove this non informative link.

If so, can you please add 3000 more fires to the wikipages of every place in Greece that was on fire in 2007? (you will earn so many banstars!!)Can you reconfirm your facts? Or are you just being A SELFISH TOP AUTHOR OF WIKIPEDIA that doesn't want people to change your precious work? Skiathos had suffered from the damage both environmentally and personally but This forest fire is not a relevant fact to the islands history or geography. A third opinion was requested. Listing this fire sounds at the moment to be unnecessary. Did it have any effect other than the evacuation? 3000 fires in Greece is a lot. What makes this fire so notable that it needs more weight given to it in this article than any other fire in Skiathos' history? --Skiathos Town (talk) 21:56, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Before we kill ourself...
Before we kill ourself... lets discuss the evolution of the MacGyver page...... i moved your tables to the List of MacGyver episodes article / list. Why? Well because thats were those tables usually are, take a look at List of Stargate SG-1 episodes and List of Lost episodes which both of them are FL of some kind. Let's discuss. --Trust Is All You Need (talk) 16:58, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

- Come on, i'm not owing anything. Your edit to the template only makes it worse, either we collaborate which you seem to to childish to do, or we continue (which i don't want!!!). So should we collaborate or keep on reverting each others edits. --Trust Is All You Need (talk) 19:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- You now what, just keep the dam thing. Let's talk about the main issue, the main article MacGyver --Trust Is All You Need (talk) 20:00, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- To make this clear, the article is suppose to be about the series, the film shouldn't have its own section 1) because its not the seriesss 2) not enough information 3) its goin' to get its own page when released or even before and 4) all other articles merge all spin off series and films into one section because its not directly tied into the series + they have their own article for it. --Trust Is All You Need (talk) 20:17, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Optimized image cc61466b.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Optimized image cc61466b.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Vandalism on Cyprus
IP user 41.249.57.177 started serial vandalism on Cyprus on 00:22, 27 May 2009 (immediately after your edit on 18:35, 26 May 2009). This IP user's changes are reminiscent of an earlier sock NIR-Warrior whom we fought in March 2009. The first change was to corrupt the numbers in the Infobox and to insert tons of copy-pasted information from other wiki articles (e.g., the paragraphs on climate from Geography of Cyprus). Unfortunately, there have been many intervening legitimate edits since your edit on 18:35, 26 May 2009, so I am hesitant to make a bold revert to your earlier version. Could you please take a careful look at the status of Cyprus as of today and suggest what to do? I could of course revert the Infobox numbers one by one (a lot of work), but I am afraid that this will leave a lot of vestigial vandalism by IP 41.249.57.177 undealt with. Thank you. --Zlerman (talk) 03:12, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
- Good catch. I'd say revert back to my edit and then update with any legitimate edits. It appears that the IP users added a lot of unsourced additions to the article while also deleting legitimate information. El Greco(talk) 19:10, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
Ioannina
All the changes I had made to the Ioannina article, mainly dates of buildings, additional buildings, names of prominent figures of the Greek Enlightenment in Ioannina and such, were from the book Ioannina of Georgios Souliotis. I had added a reference wherever I made a significant addition. What did you consider controversial? Nothing I wrote contradicted anything already written. Georgios Souliotis was a curator of the Museum of Ioannina. Skamnelis (talk) 13:00, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Factual Accuracy of List of Minister of Communications and Works of the Republic of Cyprus
An editor has raised issues over the factual accuracy of the above article, stating that since Cyprus did not go independant until 1960 , "Antonis Georgiades" could have never been a minister in 1959. Since the editor who initially created is blocked as a sockpuppet i believe this article might be vandalism or blantant misinformation. Could anyone verify this? Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 09:04, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Note: I hope that you doin't mind that i took this to you directly; I initially asked this at wikiproject cyprus, but after i quick check i learned that you are about the only editor involved in the wikiproject, that has edited in the last year. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 09:09, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, that does appear to be an official government website. The only thing I can think of to explain the 1959 appoitment is the Zürich and London Agreement and Modern history of Cyprus which establish that a constitution had been agreed upon prior to their 1960 recognition of independence, so therefore the appointment of Antonis Georgiades is possible. El Greco(talk) 15:54, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
The above article is being re-assessed as part of the GA Sweeps project The re-assessment has been placed on hold.
It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass; otherwise it will fail. See Talk:James Bond for things needing to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

A quick note
Hi El Greco, I was quite surprised (and sorry) to see that you were blocked. A harsh decision, in my opinion.
I'm sorry if any of my actions contributed to this happening, as that wasn't my intention.
Wishing you Happy Editing. :-) Marek.69 talk 17:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- I accept your appology, however, I feel that User:Jarvis76 does not seem open to any discussion of the article at all and continues to blantly revert my edits that are attempting to conform the article to WP:MOS standards, i.e. overlinking, avoiding redirects, layout, images, etc. Here's an example: [2] Any help with User:Jarvis or the Istanbul article would be appreciated. El Greco(talk) 23:22, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- I understand what you're saying El Greco. I can also see how easily a situation can snowball and you find yourself inadvertently involved in an edit-war. It is clear to me that your contributions to the Istanbul article are in good faith, as you want the article to conform to WP:MOS standards. It shows that you care and want to improve it to the highest standards. It's a difficult situation. I think part of the answer is more effective communication, as you say. I've got the article watchlisted and will do what I can to help. :-) Marek.69 talk 00:11, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

- hello... yes i have seen that it cant be appeared...but why?Greco22 (talk) 20:51, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- That specific infobox does not have that field. Therefore if you want to add it to the article, find a Reliable Source from a Verifiable article and add it to a section of the article, for example the Name section. El Greco(talk) 22:30, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
The article looks much better now, especially the table with the ships. Those pennants were so ugly that I avoided visiting this page.
Pennant numbers should not be in parentheses, as they are in a separate column. Also the prefixes (F, PG etc) should not be used, in Greece the Navy uses prefixes like Φ/Γ, ΤΠΚ, Α/Γ etc, while internationally the standard prefix is HS (Hellenic Ship). So it is either Φ/Γ Ύδρα or HS Hydra.
My main objection is the flags of countries of origin. I believe they do not fit well and it is a faux pas using a foreign flag next to a naval ship, except when sea etiquette specifically prescribes it. Some navy tables in WP use it (Ships_of_the_Brazilian_Navy) but most don't. Sv1xv (talk) 14:24, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, those pennants were a little too much for the table. The parentheses are gone as well now, and the prefixes will be changed next. That's fine if you want to remove the origin flags from the table, most Navy articles don't even have the origin of the ship listed anyway. I hope you visit the page more often now. El Greco(talk) 23:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, as much as I would like to remove the flags, I am not going to edit articles where User:Kompikos is involved. I am not in a mood for edit wars. Sv1xv (talk) 04:48, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello!
Hello O Greek One. I was wondering if you could edit the Greek settlement infobox so the timezone and altitude is at the bottom as normal. Is there a reason why timezone or altitude has priority over say population or area? Perhaps you could move the two to the bottom above the codes and change it to "Other". Himalayan 18:16, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Peripheries
The new infobox, based on infobox settlement, is better-looking, smaller, easier to edit and includes more fields. There isn't any significant compatibility issue with the current articles. So why don't you like it?--93.45.54.25 (talk) 15:14, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
So? It's been five days already, and you did't shy away from reverting me, an explanation is in order.-Iwillremembermypassthistime (talk) 15:27, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- WPGR is perfectly able to maintain their own template. It's doesn't need to be hidden with Infobox Settlement. The fields the current infobox has are sufficient and specific enough to do the job. El Greco(talk) 20:17, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- Just because I'm not a project member doesn't mean that I can't edit articles about Greece. Infobox Peri GR is outdated, the maps you reverted to are inaccurate and you can't decide that a page can't be changed by anyone because in your opinion it's perfect as it is. You don't WP:OWN WPGR articles, remember that in the future.--Iwillremembermypassthistime (talk) 20:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.

Edit warring
You and Iwillremembermypassthistime are both edit warring at the article Crete, and if it continues you will both be blocked. You have each reverted 3 times with only minimal discussion, and no consensus yet either way; furthermore, issuing your opponent "blanking" or "vandalism" warnings during a content dispute is not an appropriate substitute for discussion.
I'm not interested in hearing who's "right" or "wrong" here; the fact of the matter is, reverting again and again when there is no clear consensus yet is still edit warring, no matter how right you might be. rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 21:33, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Turkish Names Of Greece İslands
If I add Turkish name of iceland in iceland page, this will be my false. However, if you delete turkish names in aegean islands' pages, this will be your false. Turk are part of these islands history. You behave like Valdals,Nazism. You can look turkish page and you can see greek name. But when ı try to add turkish name, you delete. Please Stop!!! ı suggest you, you add turkish names in greek articles(not only english), because I try to add greek names in turkish article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ollios (talk • contribs) 09:28, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- The Turkish name is already included either later on in the introduction of the article or in the history section where it belongs. El Greco(talk) 15:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
