[edit]Both Triadafilopoulos, Triadafilos (Phil). "The Political Consequences of Refugee Incorporation After Population Transfers: Toward a Comparison of the Greek and German Experiences". Citizenship Education Website. Berlin: Netzwerk Migration in Europa. Retrieved 2010-07-10. and "GBE for Gen. Papagos". Official Appointments and Notices. The Times. No. 50213. London. 6 August 1945. col E, p. 3. template uses deprecated parameter(s) (help) refer to a General George Papagos, the former as the Greek Minister for War. This would appear to be the same person as this Wikipedia article. Does anyone have any more information on this? If it is the same individual, then some comment on the main page would appear to be appropriate. If it confirmed as the same individual, then the Times citation is for his appointment as an honorary GBE which should also be included in the main article.

- This appears to be a very strange mistake. There was no General "George Papagos", and for sure the only man with this surname to become Minister for War (and to hold the post in 1935) was Alexander. For The Times, the mistake is perhaps excusable, but why a Greek scholar would make such a mistake is weird. The only other Papagos family members to achieve prominence were Alexander's father, who was a Major General, and his son, who became a diplomat and was chief director of the royal court under Constantine II. Both were named Leonidas, however. Feel free to add the GBE info into the article, though. Constantine ✍ 18:32, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- I would agree with Constantine that some people, including the Greek scholar and the Times reporter, did not do a proper copyediting of the news or of their research paper as it is beyond any doubt that the official British wireless and everybody else but these two sources refer to him by his proper name. I added the relevant sources into the article. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 23:40, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
