War of the Stray Dog
[edit]Except this source: "The History of Greece", by Elaine Thomopoulos, p.110 (http://books.google.gr/books?id=a9qZdkXqoPMC&printsec=frontcover&hl=el#v=onepage&q&f=false), is there any other source which say that this incident was called "War of the Stray Dog"? Because i can't find anything else.
In addition the book is written at 2011 which is after the creation of this wiki article and i am afraid that, maybe, the author is influenced by the wiki article because she doesn't mention any of her sources. Gre regiment (talk) 16:25, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
What caused the incident?
[edit]The article says that the incident caused when a Greek soldier ran after his dog and at the border one of the Bulgarian sentries shot the Greek soldier, but in this article of a newspaper of that time said that: "The Greco-Bulgarian frontier incident was caused by Bulgarian regulars attacking a Greek outpost at Belesh and shooting dead a sentry and a captain."

Since, after so many months, no one answered, i decided to write in the article the reason that the newspapers say, and have both the two versions (the one that already exist in the article and the one that i just wrote). But if someone don't bring some citation i will delete the unreferenced reason of the incident. Gre regiment (talk) 22:25, 25 June 2013(UTC)
Was Petrich captured?
[edit]The article in the paragraph: "International intervention", say that: "Bulgaria ordered its troops to provide only token resistance, trusting the League of Nations to settle the dispute. Otherwise some chetas of Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO), together with the sentries, organised defence lines against the Greeks near Petrich, which prevented the Greeks from entering the town.", but in this article of that time in the Australian Newspaper "The Barrier Miner" says that: "The town of Petrich is officially reported captured by the Greeks."

If I see, no. Jingiby (talk) 19:36, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Now this is interesting. It would be good to know what really happened, although it is just a detail in the incident. Gre regiment (talk) 22:45, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Because i can't understand what really happened i decided to put both versions of the story. Gre regiment (talk) 19:30, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
Reliable sources
[edit]Please use only reliable sources. Check especially reliable sources in history. Old newspapers are not. Thanks. Jingiby (talk) 14:01, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Seems kind of biased

Who won militarily
[edit]It’s clear to add Greek military victory since Greek forces occupied Petrich and Bulgaria only won due to the League of Nations stepping in politically. El Greekos (talk) 19:17, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
- Petrich was not occupied. Modern academic sources do not confirm this fact. Australian tabloids old nearly 100 years are not reliable sources. Jingiby (talk)
Ano Poroia
[edit]The incident arose at Demir Kapia, a small pass on the border high in the maintain. Ano Poroia has nothing to do with it. This village is on the footsteps of Belasitsa on Greek territory, not at the place of the incident. Keep in mind also, that Greek Army entered Bulgaria, not Bulgarian Army Greece. X. Basileiadis is for now just fictional name. Provide sources for that name and discuss on talk the role Ano Poroia played in that conflict, please Jingiby (talk) 16:45, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

I would like to change the "result" section above the belligerence, as the conflict was won militarily by Greece but politically by Bulgaria, who appealed to the league of nations. Master14GMD (talk) 18:23, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:33, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
