Online Ambassadors

I saw the quality of your contributions at DYK and clicked on over to your user page and was pretty impressed. Would you be interested in helping with the WP:Online_Ambassadors program? It's really a great opportunity to help university students become Wikipedia contributers. I hope you apply to become an ambassador, Sadads (talk) 00:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Illyrian Maps

Hi. When I get the time, I hope to make more and new ones. I think putting 'boundary lines would be difficult. Firstly, it would make the maps more cluttered. Secondy, we have little precise info as to where exactly the tribal boundaries were, if they in fac existed at all - these people were shepherds and moved about. Some pastures would have been used by different groups. Hxseek (talk) 00:05, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Newsletter help

Hello Alexi! I've finally decided to revive the WPGR newsletter, and have begun a first draft at my sandbox. I intend to have it out by March 25. As you were the only one to have expressed interest a few months back, do you have any suggestions as to what we could include in addition to the topics covered? Or any other suggestion really, on content, style and looks. Constantine ✍ 17:34, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly intend to include updates on articles that are or have recently undergone peer/GA/A/FA reviews, if the newsletter attracts enough interest. Or any news on collaborations on articles, discussions, problems etc.
On the history task force, there are a number of problems. For one, it would be essentially a recreation of the old WP:History of Greece, which is the ancestor of WP:GREECE - and furthermore, WP:GREECE is by the definition of its scope as much about the wider Greek history as about modern Greece. Then, there is the question of purpose: how and why does the topic necessitate a different task force? If the purpose is to differentiate historical articles from others, the "topic=history" parameter in the WPGR banner already does that. Three, there is the question of participation: there should be at least five to ten committed users to justify a branching off, and currently even at WP:GREECE it's only a handful editors who are active. You have just to look at the Politics and politicians and Athens task forces to see how early zeal can peter off. Sadly, we are too few to have dreams about task forces. Even the mighty and well-maintained WPMILHIST has curtailed its own task forces to what are essentially membership and article lists and little else. I've been thinking for years about setting up a Byzantine task force or WikiProject, but if it is going to be me and four to five other users (with me probably being the only one interested in any sort of administrative work), it's not sustainable. IMO, if a specific topic is dear to you, you are best off by starting or upgrading and maintaining a portal. You could for instance begin an Epirus or Greek History portal, which would IMO be a far greater help than a rather redundant administrative department. Constantine ✍ 21:18, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
PS, congrats on the Hellenic Nomarchy GA! No. 100 for WP:GREECE! Constantine ✍ 21:41, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the medal! To be precise though, if we count the FAs and A-classes, we've passed 100 a long time ago. "100" is just for the category counter, but it is a psychological boundary nonetheless ;) Here's to reaching 150 by next year, plus a few more FAs and A-class articles (it'd be nice to get 2% of our articles to GA and above, most projects are below 1%)... BTW, did you consider the stuff I mentioned above on portals? And please, if you have time to spare, try to check a few of Pumpie's articles, no matter how short or unimportant. Most of them are short Starts, and are easy to translate from the Greek original. Even one a week would be a great help! Best regards, Constantine ✍ 01:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conscription in Greece

Hello. Can I ask you, why do you think that the Presidential guard are more relevant than a gkiozis with his rifle backwards? Project2501a (talk) 15:12, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a typical Wikipedia:Pictures#Image_choice_and_placement issue: the "rifle backwards" pic isn't a representative lead pic for the article since it deals with a specific aspect of the article (i.e. the funny routine of a scpecific soldier), while the Evzones conscripts widely known and fits perfectly in the lead of this article.

Editing of Greater Albania

ON WHAT BASES DO YOU TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO SPEAK FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S THOUGHTS, MOTIVATIONS AND ACTIONS!

The pursuing of "Greater" by nation states in Balkans has to bee explained in context and has to be recognised being pursued by all nation states, it has to be introduced as perceived by the people pursuing it and not by "other" perceptions...or all known perceptions that are out there on a specific topic. What we have here is a discrimination of perceptions.

Wikipedia is littered with perception of "history makers". I.e the powerful. Why should these perceptions have legitimacy and not other perception...there seems to be a legitimacy deficit. POV policy of Wikipedia is a POV in itself. It favours one POV over another.

now why "Greater" was pursued by nation states.

the "Greater" is pursued by states that trace their existence on bases of ethnicity.

1)Greece: When Greece seceded and was recognised by big players and Ottomans as a state it was a tiny of what is today. The tiny state desired, planed and when the circumstances allowed, pursued Greater Greece (Megali Idea) on the bases that that the territories it desired where inhabited by people of the same ethnicity as it own population...ie Greeks.

2)Serbia....the same as Greece....

3) Bulgaria....the same as the above...

4) Romania ....the same as the above

5)Albania the same as the above

6)Hungary, Germany & co the same

The editing took place along the lines of the article on Greece. Why different, biased language for a phenomena which is shared by all of the above? Explain why the biased? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MJDANikhila (talk • contribs) 10:26, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Greece

Why did you remove WPSQ, which you consider irrelevant but you don't consider irrelevant projects like WikiProject Australia and New Zealand about that subject. Btw the lead of that article is The Battle of Greece (also known as Operation Marita, German:Unternehmen Marita)[11] was a World War II battle that occurred on the Greek mainland and in southern Albania.--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 15:40, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

wp:australia and new zealand are relevant because (some thousand) troops of these countries participated in the battles. There was no Albanian participation of any kind in the conflicts, or any conflict on Albanian soil, contrary to the Greco-Italian War. Also this part: The Battle of Greece (also known as Operation Marita, German:Unternehmen Marita)[11] was a World War II battle that occurred on the Greek mainland and in southern Albania was problematic indeed and thanks to Constantine it was corrected.

If you have any info that proves some kind of Albanian involvement, or at least something happened on Albanian soil during these events, it would be very interesting to make the appropriate additions in the article.Alexikoua (talk) 19:58, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

can you help with an etymology?

Hello, noticed you are involved in several greek-related articles. I am working on the Tymfi article and since etymology is required from wikiproject mountains I am struggling to find one. Unfortunately I don't have access to relevant material here and an extensive online search only related it to the ancient tribe, but offered no etymology. Could you possibly help me with that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkostagiannis (talk • contribs) 02:49, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. I will add the etymology as soon as I finish with the Geography section. Are you sure it derives from the Tympheans or could it be vice versa? That was my main concern. I was already checking the Vikos-Aoos page for the geological features.

Illyrians

Which are the sources of your newest map? You haven't listed them on the description and I couldn't find anything about any Hellenized Illyrian Taulanti [7][8].--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 12:32, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually an old map, but the .png version is recently created. I've provided some sources, one of the talks about the bilingual tribes of Taulantii and Billyones. I plan to make some minor changes on the map like renaming the "Hellenized Illyrians" to "Illyrian tribes that underwent a decree of hellenization" and presenting them as a sub-category of the Illyrians. Any additional ideas?Alexikoua (talk) 18:42, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that getting into Hellenization and Illyrianization complicates the matter, for this process worked in both directions, and one could argue (as Toynbee has) that the Epirotes were Hellenized Illyrians. Just leave it at what the sources said - Taulantii, Enchelae, etc were "Illyrian", Molossi, Chanoes, etc were "Epirotic". Also, Alexi, I think we should use my map for Illyrians articles, given it has a bit more detail for that region (and put there first), and your map for Epirotes article. I think this is a fair compromise. Slovenski Volk (talk) 03:31, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@SV: I have the feeling that you are into or territory, since Toynbee never claimed that. In general the Epirote tribes are known as NW Greek and the Taulantii, Enchelae as S. Illyrian. Although the term 'Illyrian' isn't about a discinct culture but about various heterogeneous tribes that lived in western Balkans.Alexikoua (talk) 19:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No - he clearly states that in an entire chapter devoted to 'The Original Language on the Epirotes". Its besides the point, all I;m stating is that the linguistic situation was highly complex, with bilignual areas - as Strabo wrote - from Corcyra to the Lakelands region. Obviously Greek was widespread and operated as the prestigious language, and virtually all southern Illyrian tribes, just like the Paeones and southern Thracians, were Hellenized to some extent. To try and quantify this is purposeless. Whether a tribe was "originally Greek or not" is difficult to tell, and depends on whether you agree with Georgiev and Hammond who'd argue that Epirus and SW Macedonia were the "proto-greek homeland", or their critics who say that their arguements, based on toponymics interpretation are flawed, and the only clear evidence we have is that greek developed in central and southern Greece and later spread outward (eg Wyatt, Renfrew, Gillett). Slovenski Volk (talk) 01:20, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And can you respond to me about your vs my map on Illyrians page. My map captures more of the south Illyria - Dardania - NW Paeonia area. Yet, A Maceodnian keeps reverting my map unjustifiably. Can we agree that we use your map for Epirote articles and mine for Illyrians ? Slovenski Volk (talk) 01:36, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pogoniani

alexikoua

I see that u have double standards in some cases,or am i wrong? In case of Pogoniani you added that in the albanian part of the region there r greek speaking villages, a fact that it is true.But some months ago you deleted that the village of Plikati within greek territory is ,or at least was, an albanian speaking village. By the way, the international commission also noticed albanian speaking villages ceded to Greece... 

RegardsLysus.KT (talk) 20:58, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please avoid this kind of unbased accusations. I removed only unsourced parts in both cases, while in the case of the Greek-speaking villages there is the appropriate source to support this claim. If you believe that this parts should be restored please search for the appropriate rel. source.Alexikoua (talk) 21:32, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Typically you are right.Sources must be provided.But i didnt see you to search if Plikati was or was not albanian speaking,just in case.Maybe it is more convenient to delete a true fact (even if it is not sourced ) than to search for a source.

In the case of Patriarch Athenagoras, i see that u follow the "πηγή να'ναι κι ο,τι να'ναι" policy.You accepted a source that says that he is Albanian even if it is known that his village was traditionaly a greek-speaking village.

As you see the existance of a source doesnt ensure always the truth.Lysus.KT (talk) 18:14, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the case of Plikati the article was a poor translation of the unsourced Greek version. Unfortunately I've checked on googlesearch but no results on this. In Athenagoras have you any arguments to support the opposite? In general the argument that he was from a traditional Greek village doesn't prove he was Greek, but there might be additional material to dispute his supposed Albanian origin.Alexikoua (talk) 20:39, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed

Here is a link to the information about the book of Grigor St Pŭrlichev. The book cover contain Greek inscription of the Skanderbeg's name and also the information that book is translated from Greek original (poem?). Have you heard about such Greek original of Skanderbeg poem which is translated by Grigor on Macedonian language?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 14:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting topic. Prlichev wrote this poem when he was in Athens indeed, but it received negative critics. It was never printed that time and it was finally published in Skopje (a tranlation without the Greek original) at 1961, by Stalev. At 1967 it was published in Albanian and Greek. If you want to see a picture of the manuscript, its in [[9]] p. 14.Alexikoua (talk) 20:27, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply and for the link provided. This work looks like one of the oldest (1860?) literary works dedicated solely to Skanderbeg written in the Balkans. I wish I knew Greek language. Do you think criticism you mentioned reduce the notability of this work?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:07, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can give a summary of this text. Yes, the poem was critized due to the poetic style Prlichev used, and the unpublished manuscript was accidentally found in early 1950-60s somewhere in Athens.Alexikoua (talk) 13:21, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No need for the summary. I will give up this work due to the low quality of its poetic style.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 13:42, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Canvassing?

What are you talking about? Aigest (talk) 09:22, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Wikipedia:Canvassing. In general when you send repeately msgs only to users that may support your view, but ignore the rest of the community its disruptive. For example you send msgs to User:Andrew Lancaster (to participate again and again in the discussion), who might have a view similar to yours, but ignore User:Itsmejudith, who contradicts your views.Alexikoua (talk) 10:47, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, User:Andrew Lancaster is a published author, and since he is a regular participant in RSN board, I invited him to express his opinion in the topic, based on his knowledge and experience with academic works. I don't see how can this be classified as canvassing unless you doubt on A.Lancaster intellectual honesty. It was me also who suggested to user:Athenean to go to RSN board. I don't think that you can "accuse" Athenean of "supporting" my view, on the contrary, but I directed him there even though I knew his view. As for the rest I can remind you that he had already expressed before an opinion similar to mine, 1, and had also asked for sources 2, and questioned the lack of them by those who supported the contrary. I made the same text in the topic page (but you didn't bother to answer) and so I don't see your point of canvassing. Maybe you should read again what canvassing means and btw answer to the questions that me and other users have made there, unless your intention is to ignore the rest of community.
