The local juvenile homo sapien on a motorbike is common. This is by far the most dangerous animal on the island to humans and can be very aggressive, fast and noisy. It inflicts more injuries to itself and others than any other animal. The second most dangerous mammal is the foreign homo sapien on a motorbike. This is the summer variant and usually inflicts damage only to itself Do you think that is an information for an encyclopedia? The local juvenile homo sapiens acts like any other young people in the world and you must not offend them with your comment.You must also admit that its better doing what they do with their motorbikes than what the anglo american homo sapiens do in irak or the german homosapiens adultis did in the second world war.

In March 2007 the Municipal Authorities destroyed a wetland habitat near the town beach at the outlet to the sea of Skopelos' only permanently flowing stream. The area had been home to frogs and the birds that fed on them This also isn't an information for an encyclopedia.If you think that the municipality destroyed a wetland drive them to justice. You can ask for legal advice from your friend K.S..You must also know that the so called wetland didn't exist 15 years ago and before the cleaning effort in march 2007 it was just a polluted area home to rats and insects.

Try to respect the place where you live.

I don't think wikipedia is a place for this kind political games

Thank you

[edit]

Thank you for your comments and opinion.

Nature has a strange way of working. New habitats spring up all the time. Some people (not me) argue that beaches should not be cleaned by humans because of life forms which may have begun to grow in a washed up plastic bottle. My understanding was that this small stream and estuary has been there for many more than 15 years. It may be that if there were rats they liked the place because of all the trash about. When you mention "polluted" what was the source of the pollution?

The information is encyclopedic but not to your liking. Maybe a phrase such as "removed a wetland" instead of "destroyed a wetland" would work better for you?

I feel that the Junvenile homo sapien section could use work and perhaps be a little more informative. Your comments justifying impolite (at best) and illegal behaviour on the streets of Skopelos as better than the Nazis and the American illegalities in Iraq is strange. With a number of deaths, serious injuries and minor injuries involving motorbikes in the past ten years in Skopelos the topic should be of concern to the authorities for reasons of public safety.

I don't know who K.S. is. When I get to Skopelos I'll ask about.

Staphylus

[edit]

Do you have references for your recent addition to Staphylus? The article on Skopelos does not have references for the claim either. Jeepday (talk) 14:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greek Musician Yiannis Papaioannou or Giannis

[edit]
The Yiannis Papaioannou page says Ιωάννης Παπαιωάννου which looks different to Γιάννης Παπαιωάννου. Are you sure this page should be Giannis Papaioannou? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To rename the article you can use the move tab near th top of the page. Fill in the new name, make sure that move the talk is ticked and put a reason in the box. Instead of Yiannis the closest English name would be John, but no need to use it if no one else does, we should get an English spelling that sounds like his name.

Vrolicq

[edit]

Hi. Thanks for cleaning up Vrolicq's page. I had to revert a few minor things though. I changed "kill" back to "catch", as they didn't intend to merely kill whales, because you can kill a whale but lose it from the line breaking, boat being staved, etc. They wanted to secure those whales they killed, thus they wanted to "catch" them. Also, not very many whales would have been caught within Hamburgbukta. It was likely only used to process the blubber into oil ashore as well as for shelter for Vrolicq's fleet. They would have caught the majority of their whales outside the bay as they passed north or south of its entrance. Jonas Poole (talk) 02:25, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good and interesting article. I happened across it via the random article feature in the navigation box. I was really only trying to make the article read more smoothly. Thanks for clarifying "caught and kill". Keep up the good work! Skopelos-Slim (talk) 15:49, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
