[edit] URGENT POLL

There is a poll in the talk page of Macedonian Slavs article here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macedonian_Slavs#The_poll

Some people are lobbying for changing the article's name to Macedonian without any qualifier. As it seems, a number of these people come from the Macedonian/Macedonian Slav wikipedia project. It seemed only fair to attract the attention of people possibly from the other side of the story. I hope that this message is of interest to you, if not please accept my apologies.

[edit] Demographics of Greece

Do you have a citation for the demographic breakdowns given in Greece and Demographics of Greece? Thanks. Jkelly 05:09, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedians in Greece

Hi, I understand that you are either Greek Wikipedian or a Wikipedian living in/with an interest in Greece.

The category page Wikipedians/Greece has been replaced with Category:Wikipedians in Greece but your name still appears on the old list. You might considering moving it. You might also consider adding adding Template:Greekwiki to your user page.

A Wikipedia:Greek Wikipedians' notice board has been in existence for some time but is terribly underutilised. It would certainly benefit from your involvement.--Damac 12:18, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm also listed in the category and I think that the list is useful while most people are on the list and not the category. I think you can be bold and put the category tag to all user pages of users listed on that page (but not to anyone who is not listed). --geraki 17:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikify

Hi, Geraki. I was wondering if you would modify User:Geraki/monobook.js so that it doesn't show up in the articles that need to be wikified category. Thanks, Kjkolb 10:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Done (I think). Thanks. —Geraki ^✉2005-12-1 T 13:46 Z

[edit] Greek literature a candidate at the Wikipedia:European Union collaboration

You have supported Greek literature at the WP:IDRIVE some time ago. I have now renominated it at the new Wikipedia:European Union collaboration. Please consider supporting it there if you are still interested! --Fenice 13:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] request

Please see Talk:Arvanites if you can. talk to +MATIA 14:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thessaloniki on the Article Improvement Drive

Hey Geraki, I nominated the Thessaloniki article as a candidate for the Article Improvement Drive. The article is so very close to becoming a featured article so I thought it was appropriate that it be a candidate for the AID. Please feel free to vote at the AID page here. Thanks! Oh, also, I was wondering how knowledgeable you were on Phanar in Istanbul...I wanted to get a group of editors to work on that article since it is the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarch. --Caponer 00:59, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Benizelos.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Benizelos.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jkelly 17:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal for an Ancient Greek Wikisource

Geraki, I saw that you have uploaded texts in Ancient Greek for wikisource:el:Main Page, so I wanted to inform you that there is an initiative underway to start a new wikisource exclusively for Ancient Greek. Please state your opinion at meta:Requests_for_new_languages/Ancient#Ancient_Greek_Wikisource Andreas ^(T) 00:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Cool Cat/In many languages...

Thank you for the Greek translation --Cat out 07:38, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Geraki/monobook.js

Hi. User:Geraki/monobook.js appears at CAT:CSD even without it having a speedy tag. Could you check why this is happening? - Aksi_great (talk) 19:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Thessaloniki seal.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 23:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bot adding ru-sib links

Hello - just noticed that your bot is adding ru-sib interwiki links, see [1], [2], [3]. However, that WikiProject is closed, see meta:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Siberian_Wikipedia. -- Sander Säde 05:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll fix it. geraki 06:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Benizelos.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Benizelos.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 13:47, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Benizelos.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Benizelos.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interwiki geodata

I don't generate the interwiki geodata myself; this work is done by Stefan Kühn, who parses multiple Wikipedia dumps and cross-correlates them -- you can find his interwiki geodata dataset at Wikipedia:WikiProjekt Georeferenzierung (English language page on de: Wikipedia). There may be some encoding issues regarding this file: please contact me if you have problems decoding it.

As an alternative, I have some dump analysis tools I use on the en: Wikipedia dumps, which could be fairly straightforwardly adapted to extract geotags for pages which have interwiki links to gr: However, since they perform a complete parse of all templates in the dump, they are rather slow: you will need to download several gigabytes of compressed dump, and then spend about 5 to 6 hours of CPU time parsing a complete dump. However, once the dumps have been parsed into a simple intermediate file represenation of the template data, analysis and re-analysis passes over the data extracted are easy and fast. -- The Anome 09:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC cloak request

I am geraki on freenode and I would like the cloak wikipedia/geraki. Thanks. --Geraki ^T_L 21:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Benny_Carter.jpg

Just to thank you for finding this picture of Benny Carter. He is a great artist and I truly enjoy his music. I still have difficulties understanding the procedure and rules for posting images that do not create violation of some sort.

Too bad you could not find a picture with Benny and his alto saxophone. For example, I would have preferred this one. Same photographer, I believe.

Cheers, -- Jazzeur (talk) 17:03, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, unfortunately I didn't find this picture but the picture found me. The fact is that I responded to an e-mail (to permissions-en@wikimedia.org) by the photographer complaining about the use of one of his Benny Carter photos without his permission. Portraits of individuals usually are not accepted as "fair use" per the fair use guidelines. The photo would have been deleted, but Mr. Edward Berger was kind enough to release under a free license, another picture of his choice. You should always ask the photographer's permission to use a photo in order to not create violations. If you'd like another picture, please ask Mr. Edward Berger to release it under a free license, and then the picture has to be uploaded with the appropriate license tag and Mr. Berger mentioned as the author. Geraki ^T_L 08:20, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much. With those few well chosen words, you have taught me more about how to put photos of people on Wikipedia than the usual lengthy policy documents that I have consulted. You are a great teacher. -- Jazzeur (talk) 13:58, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your monobook.js

Hey. Your monobook.js page is currently showing up in the candidates for speedy deletion category, probably because of your db tagging script (specifically, having "{{db|"+stuff+"}}" on the page may still cause it to be listed. I suggest editing the script - consider replacing one '{' with a variable containing the same. Cheers, Ale_Jrb^talk 22:28, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of images

Hi there. Unless an image is a blatant copyright violation and you can prove as much with a URL, it is not eligible for speedy deletion as you have been tagging them. If the copyright status is in doubt, it's better to tag it with {{subst:nsd}}. If, after 7 days, the uploader doesn't add a source where we can verify the copyright status, it is deleted automatically. --Laser brain (talk) 16:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia Stories Project

My name is Victor Grigas and I'm a Storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community, especially editors and active contributors in the movement like you. I'll be traveling to Wikimania next month to collect stories for our 2011 Fundraiser. While there I'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your thoughts about Wikipedia. We’ll have a schedule of available times for you to sign up if you’re interested, but right now, we’d like to make the initial contact to gauge your interest. Please let me know by emailing me at vgrigas@wikimedia.org or responding on my talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:VgrigasWMF)

thank you,
