Steve Hodges

Hi, Steve Hodges gave permission for his official photo to be used on Wikipedia the day before the election. He lost the special election for congress so I doubt that we will have a photo of him available again. The note that he gave his permission to use the photo was in the boxes under the photo and on the talk page. without the one picture of him, the special congressional election for MO_08 at Wikipedia looks very biased for the man elected. I admit that I have trouble trolling through the wp jargon and do not understand all the image permissions, but it seems that to keep the unbiased nature of wp and because he sent written permission, the photo of Steve Hodges for Congress 2013 should be returned to Wikipedia, but by somebody with a greater understanding of wp permissions...like you perhaps. thank you!

Thessaloniki picture

Hi. I added a picture of many Thessaloniki landmarks but it was changed again. I think this high resolution picture that shows 6 Thessaloniki landmarks is much better than just the White Tower. If you see Athens, it has a picture with many landmarks than just the Acropolis for example. Here's the picture I talk about

Thank you!

Picture Deletion

Hello again. Re deleted page File:Samuel West at the London Film Festival screening of Hyde Park on Hudson, October 2012.jpg, I've now got signed clarification from the photographer agreeing to free use, so I hope it's okay to repost. Thanks for your guidance on this. I still don't know how to remove the box asking for citations! Best wishes.

Personal attack.

Damn, you're flagging everything I upload, aren't you? This is a personal attack, isn't it? Lmfao. On a serious note, could you please help me upload these pics you're flagging. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Versace1608 (talk • contribs)

Hello,

I'm currently awaiting a response by SoloMid, his team. Is it possible to have some extra time because I don't wish the photos to get removed.

Municipality has no authority to fly a flag as per laws of Greece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ephestion (talk • contribs)

I don't know about flags, but municipalities (both in Greece and elsewhere) certainly do commonly have coats of arms or logos. Other Greek municipalities, such as Athens, very certainly have those. And this one is apparently being used on the official website of the place, which should be good enough for us. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:46, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your warning. But I am currently editing the article and it is being attacked by other users without giving me a chance to modify the page ```` Also the edits I have made have saved Wiki from any legal issues since the proposed changes would violate Greek laws. No island of the Dodecanese is allowed to fly a flag other than the Greek flag. That change was necessary for legal purposes and retain the right to continue to revert so long as users attack the page with nonsensical images of some masonic logo posing as the island's flag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ephestion (talk • contribs)

The Municipalities in Greece do not have separate flags. They have only special tagma or military flags. Flying any other flag in Greece is unheard of as the flags are not some kind of logo or symbol but a military banner. Also teh municipality website is a fraud as all Greek government web pages are at the url .gov.gr not www.megisti.gr which is some kind of Masonic group trying to fluff up the history the island. Also Greece has way to much class to come up with such a lousy flag....common really.

But if you have interest in this article then please help clarify the fabrications of history. The island is not mentioned by Strabo or any other in antiquity. It doesn't even have a single archaeological piece of evidence for it either.

You are making all these things up as you go along, are you? It is plain obvious to see that Greek municipalities routinely use logos like this – just go to any of their official websites and you'll find them, and we are showing them for many of the other towns and cities (look at Athens, Thessaloniki, Rhodes, etc.). You still seem to ignore the fact that I'm not talking about a "flag", but about a logo. And these other websites are also at addresses like "thessaloniki.gr" and "rhodes.gr". You are very strong with opinions but so far have shown a lack of any evidence – I'm not holding my breath that you'll actually produce those laws that you say prohibit towns from having symbols like this. Just as you didn't present any sources for your claims about the naming history, which were plainly false. And just because you didn't know that Strabo mentions Megiste, doesn't mean that he didn't. In case you failed to notice it, I actually included an exact reference and a link to where he does. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:16, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) As to flags, I can imagine that there are restrictions for the use of flags in the Dodecanese archipelago due to its proximity to Greece's rival Turkey. But the municipalities of Chania ([1]), Thessaloniki and Corfu have apparently never heard of such restrictive laws. De728631 (talk) 10:35, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Kastellorizo again

Hallo FutPerf, I modified again the sentence that you removed yesterday. I want only to point out that Luigi Vittorio Bertarelli was only the editor of the monumental Guida d'Italia. Each volume has been compiled by the italian intellighentsia of that time. The man behind the info about Kastellorizo's culture was Giuseppe Gerola, one of the most important italian archeologists and art historians of the turn of the century, who did - among others - a field campaign in the 13 dodecannese islands in 1912. also the info about the women dress comes straight from him. Bye, Alex2006 (talk) 15:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, no prob, do as you see fit. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:36, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

:-) BTW, the name Megiste is carved on a III-IV century B.C.E. doric inscription under the castle's site. Alex2006 (talk) 15:38, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Just idle curiosity, but would it really be in the form "Megistē"? I thought Doric would have -ā for -ē, generally. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:49, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Ah, found it, in fact [2]. Uses what must be the Doric dative form "ἐν Μεγίσται". Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:04, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Future Perfect. Please go ahead and delete File:Sargent House Museum.jpg, I found a replacement in the Commons. Thanks for letting me know about this, I'll look harder for replacements next time. User talk:Vlad b, 14:48 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Andy Dingley

I noticed a warning to this guy to avoid sock-trolls, even on his own talk page. Amazingly, seconds after I clarified a word spelling on an Andy contribution, Andy reverted my spellcheck, and some user named "Denniss" duplicated the revert when Andy was queried on spelling. Then Andy comes right back with another revert, but seems to have distemper to go with it. Just wanted you to know, as it looked as though Andy has been warned over his editing behavior before :) Have a great day! Barada wha? 01:33, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Not sure why you are telling me this, as your spat with Andy evidently had nothing to do with what I was criticizing him for the other day. In this case, the only thing I'm seeing is that you were edit-warring because of your own misunderstanding of English spelling. You were evidently acting on the naive belief that merely because you were personally not familiar with the "oe" spelling it must be "incorrect or archaic", when one minute of google-checking could easily have told you that it is indeed a common (or perhaps the common) spelling in British English. Andy was right in pointing you to our policy at WP:ENGVAR; the moment he did that you ought to at least have taken a step back and checked the facts or asked him, instead of stubbornly edit-warring up to 3R as you did. Your poor behaviour, not his. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:35, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the moment of your time. I don't know what 3R means, but I'm guessing "3 reversions", when I believed to have only undone 2, after injecting the query of archaic language. By definition Wiki states: (why I insert this when you already know beats me): "The 3RR says an editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, on a single page within a 24-hour period." I asked you because his tone was immediate, and when searching stacks I noticed something in your files with his name, nothing more. I must point out that there was never a negative tone or intent in my action, just misunderstanding as his spelling was reflected as a "nautical" use in the English version dictionary I consulted after a Google search (he did cite WP:ENGVER...), as I pointed out to him. I am assuming (I hate that word) that you also searched Google and found a similar usage, but not the one I did. I placed the appropriate conversation on Andy's talk page, but how a person reacts to explanations cannot be predicted from a keyboard, any more than yours could have. I must dispute any idea of "edit-warring", as there is a necessary intent to disrupt, and I never had one, simply to clarify. Thank you for your comments, and your good work as an admin! I can only imagine some of the questions you get! I'm a nurse, and you wouldn't believe what I hear, lol :) But I answer them knowing that I've done someone some good somehow, and I do it in a pleasant and positive way, because everyone deserves respect Barada wha? 19:06, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
