Hey

Are you sure the Greek Civil War started in 1946 and ended in 1949? B-Machine (talk) 14:20, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly!
The beginning of the civil-war is marked by the attack on Litochoro and the formation of the DSE, i 1946. While most Greeks have a vague idea of the post-war events that lead to the civil-war("Εμφύλιος"), apart from the far-right supporters, nobody else considers pre-1946 violent events as a civil-war. Particularly the pre-1944 clashes between the greek resisting groups, which are not uncommon among resisting movements in general, were in no way constituting a civil-war.
(Note that we should completely excluded the major operations of ELAS against the security-battalions manned and commanded by Greek collaborationists, since those should be accounted to the German forces.) Sperxios (talk) 22:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I just wanted confirmation. From your username, I assume you are Greek. B-Machine (talk) 15:43, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greek Civil Warr

Γειά σου! Κάνεις λάθος, δεν αφαίρεσα τίποτα, το αντίθετο, το επανέφερα όταν ένας ανώνυμος χρήστης IP το διέγραψε και μετέτρεψε την πρόταση σε "κομμουνιστοποίηση της μεταπολεμικής Ελλάδας". Σίγουρα η εν λόγω πρόταση χρειάζεται παραπομπές (όχι μόνο σχετικά με το επίσημο πρόγραμμα τις ΠΕΕΑ, αλλά και αξιολόγησή του και των προθέσεών της από έγκριτους ιστορικούς), και γενικά το άρθρο έχει ένα κάρο προβλήματα. Αν μπορείς να το βελτιώσεις, go ahead! Πάντως οι τελευταίες μου αλλαγές εκεί είχαν αποκλειστικά σκοπό να επαναφέρω κάποια στοιχεία, όπως σχετικά με τα Τάγματα Ασφαλείας, που ο εν λόγω ανώνυμος χρήστης διέγραψε ή ξανάγραψε ώστε να ενοχοποιούν αποκλειστικά το ΕΑΜ.

Fair use rationale for File:Dekemvriana 1944 SYNTAGMA.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Dekemvriana 1944 SYNTAGMA.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested for undeletion of the page due to invalid *speedy* deletion process. Also provided missing fair-use rational. Please Sfan00, is it possible to specify what other images i had uploaded were also deleted, since i cannot find them from the logs?

Can you not use Special:Logs and look for Uploads that are now redlinks? I'll take a look Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:05, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to Special:Logs the above mentioned image is the only currnetly deleted upload... To go further you would need to find an admin to look at deleted pages, as I can't. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:08, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored the image and reset the timer. Please add your fair use rationale to the image description page and remove the template once you have done so. Please note that your rationale should include not just what the image depicts, but an explanation of how "its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding" (see WP:NFCC#8). If the image does not meet this criterion, or if the rationale does not adequately explain why it is necessary to include this image to understand the topic, then the image is going to be deleted again eventually - just having the template isn't a magic formula that allows any image to be used. --B (talk) 18:24, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Dekemvriana 1944 SYNTAGMA.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Dekemvriana 1944 SYNTAGMA.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for March 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Orchestrated objective reduction, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Complex (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:05, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Katieh5584.

Free-orbit experiment with laser interferometry X-rays

Hi Sperxios, the first reference on the above article, which is mighty cool, has a damaged first references. Seems the link to "Gravitational Collapse of the Wavefunction: AN Experimentally Testable Proposal" now points to a dead 404 page. If you read science fiction, the author and former mathematician and software engineer Greg Egan has a novel Quarantine which has an interesting outcome as the result of the wave-function collapse. scope_creep talk 20:28 7 August 2014 (UTC)

The Californian Ideology

I'm not seeing what this has to do with the Zeitgeist Movement. Viriditas (talk) 23:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Technocratic determinism and perpetual embetterment is the common ground, no? Sperxios (talk) 23:30, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing the connection between the essay, the themes, and the movement. Per WP:SEEALSO, I suspect that most of the links should be removed. I'll let you think about it for a few days before I decide to do anything. Viriditas (talk) 23:40, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I may have an idea of what bothered you: a better link would be Jacque Fresco's The Venus Project, born in California around the same time and full of pure technocratic determinism (heavily mentioned in the 1st versions of the Zeitgheist movie).

Regarding other links, i find The German Ideology, far from being tangential to the article, while i would merge Intellectual Property with Commodity fetishism#Intellectual property to a single link (the later), but they are both related to virtualization of wealth and power described in the essay, so i would keep it – the rest links are very tangential to the essay or to its critique, at least to my perspective. I will perform the proposed edit above the following days, assuming we reach some consensus here. Sperxios (talk) 08:50, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

YMMV, but I use see also sections as a holding pen for content expansion. If I can't expand the article with relevant sources about the links, I remove them. The majority of articles I write don't have see also sections when I'm finished because I've incorporated the links into the body. Viriditas (talk) 23:03, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean, and i agree, without being too strict about it. We could retrofit it existing see-also links towards this end, by adding a free text after each link, describing its relatinoship to the main article. Sperxios (talk) 08:19, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
