I would suggest that you do some serious research and try to find an original source for Trikoupi's statement. The secondary source that you give is not reliable because it is from an opinion article and not a regular article, and no primary source is given. Please use only reliable sources according to [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]].

== Trikoupis's quote about hellenizing Macedonia ==

Here is the original quote. It is from an interview of the special correspondent of the ''Manchester Guardian'' (today ''The Guardian'') in Athens. The article is entitled "Grecce and her Neighbours" and appeared on July 6, 1889 on page 12.

:"The Turk is going", he [Trikoupis] said, "almost too fast. When the great war comes -- as it is inevitably must within the next three, five, eight years -- Macedonia will belong to Greek or Bulgarian according as one or the other wins. If the Bulgarians take it, I do not doubt that in a few years they will be able to Slavonise the population up to the Thessalian border. If we take it, we shall be able to make the people Greeks right away to Eastern Roumelia. The bulk of the inhabitants have no pronounced nationality; they are ready to receive whatever stamp is impressed on them."

You can download the article from the digital archives of The Guardian at no charge [http://archive.guardian.co.uk/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:LowLevelEntityToSaveGifMSIE_DIGITALARCHIVE&Type=text/html&Locale=english-skin-custom&Path=GUA/1889/07/06&ChunkNum=-1&ID=Ar01204&PageLabel=12]. It is quite interesting, read it. Especially interesting is the map: according to the author (not necessarily Trkoupis), the future Greek Macedonia would not even include Salonica (that, at the time, was inhabited maily by Ladino-speaking Jews).

There is another quote by Trikoupis where he claims that Greece is interested in the southeren part of Macedonia. I will send you the quote as soon as I get hold of it.

== Sources ==

Thanks for the sources, but at the moment I don have enough time to rewrite the whole article. Maybe in the future sometime. [[User:PMK1|PMK1]] ([[User talk:PMK1|talk]]) 22:06, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

"TALK TO ME MAN"

Request

I kindly ask you to remove what you added with this edit and in particular the part about your testicles. It's not allowed to have offensive statements or whatever content on your user page. I'd say it'd be for your own good in this project, but since you might say I'm patronizing you or something, I won't. --Laveol T 21:20, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more civil. You have been warned many times by Laveol. About the "Skopian" used in Greece as a name of the Macedonian language, I understand that you might find it offensive but it is used commonly in Greece to refer to the language so we have to say that in the article. We can't remove information based only on our personal feelings. We will of course also say it is possibly pejorative. Shadowmorph ^"^ 20:48, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
SHADOW i'm traying to be polite as i can, but suporting negation on public article, sory but is that civility?
About my user page, it is my own, and if you can express your fealings regarding to my language as Skopian, why i shouldnt then express my fealings on my own page? About Laveol and his warnings, they dont exist for me, he can contact some admins, who can warn me or block me, but i'm not takeing warnes from someone who is reverting all of my editis.

Makedonij, you are certainly not free to insult other users on your user page, so please remove that. Fut.Perf. 06:45, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I will now, becouse SKOPIAN was removed from article Macedonian language, but if they pushed that POV in again, i'm reverting my page back. Even for PERMANENT block.Makedonij (talk) 06:49, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm very much affraid such a block would be the likely consequence in that case. Fut.Perf. 06:52, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
