Speedy deletion nomination of Antihellenism

A tag has been placed on Antihellenism requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Greeks etc.

Thanks for your note, but I'm afraid I don't have the energy to spend much time editing on pages like Greeks. If there are specific issues I can help out on, let me know. --macrakis (talk) 18:38, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I did some work

Is it ok? Dr.K.^praxis_logos 01:06, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Byzantine Greeks article: Important

If you want the article to pass GA, you have to source the last two sentences of the lead, or mention them in the article and source them- Toynbee statement and Finlay, remember? I hope you can fix it before it is reviewed. Monsieurdl ^{mon talk} 15:53, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

I revised the lead to summarize the article as it should. Everything included have been adequately sourced and mentioned in the article. If you wish to make any changes in the lead, you are more than welcome to. Note that since everything is sourced below, references are not required in the lead. Good luck!

Your comment

Hey there! You said that "Turkish Genocide" has been deleted for several times. Can you give me links to these cases, if you have? Thanks Aregakn (talk) 09:55, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I've found some archives too. They can be helpful:

Kaldellis

Actually I have read this and another book of his regarding Psellos' work but I tend to disagree with many of his conclusions and arguments. Nevertheless, I enjoy his undoubted broad knowledge of primary sources. I guess, it is always a matter of opinion and personal point of view. Yet, I do understand your point and many of the arguments that lead to it, I just happen to not adopt them. GK (talk) 11:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Concerning a possible change

I noticed your post on User:Aregakn's talk page to Turkish Genocide. I was thinking that page needs a change of wording. Instead of, Turkish genocide may refer the following genocides perpetrated by Turks:
How about, Turkish genocide may refer to the following genocides perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire:?
What are your thoughts? --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I'd agree to that, BTW. Though I think the Turkish Republic is or at least was also involved in the continuation of the cultural genocides of these nations. And also with the Republic being the successor of the Empire that denies those atrocities I think it can be if not should be mentioned in the wording. What do you, guys, think of it?

Thank you Kansas. And thank you Anthroskon. Aregakn (talk) 20:09, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Ottoman Muslim Genocide

You say "The final phase of genocide is denying it ever happened and blaming the victim". The fact is regardless of the name, the Muslims in the Balkans were subject to mass killings in the Balkans. There is one genocide even in modern times: Srebrenica genocide of the Bosniaks, a Muslim people, remaint of the Ottoman Empire's presence in the Balkans. Kavas (talk) 11:28, 5 May 2010 (UTC) Your thesis is partially true, for example the Nuristanis was forced to convert. However, the Islam was not always spread by sword. For example, at the beginning it was too weak, the Muslims migrated to Ethiopia, the Ethiopian christians protected the Muslims against Arabs. Bosnian Church was different than neighbours, the Bosnians were under the threat of other Christians, that is why they converted to Islam. The economic factors are also important to analyze the conversion of Pomaks. In addition, Islam is spread through Indonesia when Indonesia was under Portugal control. The conquest of India was by sword, but the conversion of many Indians to Islam was not by sword, it was a slow process. The conversion of the western Mongols to Islam is certainly not by sword because they defeated all Islamic armies and finally converted to Islam in Mahmud Ghazan's time. However, this issue is not related to the debate. My thesis is that Muslims in Balkans were killed or are killed systemitically. Srebrenica genocide is an example. Kavas (talk) 12:31, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Kavas, your thesis also means, that there should be separate articles "Genocide of Christians in the Ottoman Empire", "Genocide of Christians in the Arabic Khalifat", "Genocide of non-Muslim population by Arabic Kalifat" (the pagans etc.) and many MANY more. Aregakn (talk) 10:27, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

The genocide of Armenians or Pontic Greeks in Ottoman Empire articles exist in the Wikipedia. I think the articles of Genocide of Christians and pagan Arabs by the Islamic Caliphate should not exist. Forced conversion is not the same as genocide. The Arabs who were following the old Arabic religion, attacked the Muslims to destroy Islam, that started the war. Although the Arab armies were superior, the Muslim forces finally conquered Mecca and the pagan Arabs converted to Islam. In a way, it is like the spread of Christianity in Roman Empire, the Roman Empire was an enemy of the Christainity but finally Christianity was accepted. Was there the genocide of Romans by Christians? In addition, Christian Arabs remained Christian in the Islamic State. Kavas (talk) 11:24, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

These all articles that I stated and you also asked about have the right to exist just the same way as the article you were advocating. This is what I tried to show you. Aregakn (talk) 13:35, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

For the record, there were never any forced conversions or genocides in the early Arab khilafat, in fact Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prayed for his uncle to convert while his suffered on his death bed. 1907AbsoluTurk (talk) 22:36, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but as I replied to Sulmues, I have to decline. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 15:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Armenian article

Firstly Kırım does not mean genocide, and secondly I suppose you are not aware of the rule http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_Wikipedia You can not use another Wikipedia article as a proof, in this case, even if it meant anything. A simple Google search will give you the kind of result you need, that is, the corresponding event is overwhelmingly referred to as "Sözde Ermeni Soykırımı" by native Turkish speaking community. Since we made that clear you can stop the vandalism I hope. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmhm (talk • contribs) 20:31, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Citation

This is the first online hit that most closely reflects the requirements of the citation: History of nephrology 2: reports from the First Congress. It states: ...although the term 'Byzantine' was never employed by the Byzantines themselves and was a 19th-century European invention An unorthodox source but I'll keep trying. Take care.

Essence- Energies distinction article

Could you please help me with the Essence–Energies distinction (Eastern Orthodox theology) article? I need help with clarifying things that are being said there and at History of Eastern Orthodox Christian theology. Thanks LoveMonkey (talk) 21:44, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Demotic

The OED defines "Demotic" as Of or belonging to the popular written or spoken form of modern Greek; that is the common English word for the language, even on Wikipedia. I have always used it only to refer to the language (its speakers are of course not Demotics, but Greeks); I regret any confusion. If I have left an avoidable ambiguity, please supply a diff.
