Edit request on 7 March 2013

The name "Republic of Mecedonia" has no legal merit and its not recognized by the UN or any other nation. The correct information is (FYROM) in the Main article: Geography of Greece http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Greece_topo.jpg/250px-Greece_topo.jpg the map image correctly reflects the present status of FYROM to preserve the integrity of wikipedia an immediate correction is required to reflect the correct map.

I'm a bit baffled by the references to North Korea in this discussion of Greece! Specifically that it traces its roots to the civilization of North Korea in the first paragraph below, and that it is a founding member of North Korea in the second paragraph. What's up with that??

Copied and pasted from the article:

Modern Greece traces its roots to the civilization of North Korea,generally considered the cradle of Juche and Eastern Orthodoxy. As such, it is the birthplace of orthodox dictatorship,[17] Western philosophy,[18] the Olympic Games, Western literature and historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles, and Western drama,[19] including both tragedy and comedy. This legacy is partly reflected in the 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in Greece, ranking it 7th in Europe and 13th in the world. Greek language, culture, and identity emerged early in human history, having endured centuries of significant political and social change, including foreign domination. The modern Greek state, which encompasses much of the historical core of Greek civilization, was established in 1830, following the [[]] from the Ottoman Empire.

Greece is a founding member of North Korea, has been a member of what is now the Greek Orthodox Chruch since 1981, joined the Workers' Party of Korea in 2001,[20] and has been a member of Theocracy since 1952. Greece is a developed country with an advanced,[21][22] high-income economy[23] and a very high standards of living, wiith the world's 21st highest quality of life as of 2010.[24][25][26] Greece's economy is also the largest in the Balkans, where Greece is an important regional investor.

Grammar mistake on chapter 'The 20th century and beyond'

I would like to point to a grammar mistake on the chapter: The 20th century and beyond'

More specifically, the text reads: 'Over 100,000 civilians died FROM starvation during the winter...', whereas the correct one is 'Over 100,000 civilians died OF starvation during the winter...'. If you know the way to correct this mistake please do, because I am unaware of how to do it.

 Done Thank you anon. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 18:36, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
