Indo-Greek map

Hi Giani g, There are very few maps of the Indo-Greeks around. A map showing the territories and expansion of the Indo-Greeks, and which is broadly consistent with the challenged map, seems to be available in the Westermanns "Atlas der Welt Geschichte" (referred to me by Sponsanius, who was talking about the 1955 edition). Otherwise, the current map is an illustration of all the referenced material in the article (about 20 works, ancient to modern, from Europe to Asia), whether we talk about Saurastra (Strabo), or the occupation of territory towards Pataliputra (Boppearachchi, Bussagli, etc...). Best regards. PHG 18:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Calm Down!

Hi Devan no need to get volatile on me and this isn't the first time:

(RV - Umm, not using opinion. Using "Age of the Nandas and Mauryas" by Nilakantha Shastri. Greek and Aramaic were not the predominant languages of the Northwest, let's not imply that they were.)

Perhaps if you were more diplomatic, more people may value your opinion. I hope you need not be so confrontational in future.

Regards (Giani g 16:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC))

Hello Giani G,

Umm, I don't know why you think there was anything confrontational or volatile about my post, but rest assured that it is not. It is unfortunate that you saw it in such terms. For future reference, it would be diplomatic to clarify a post first before attempting an escalation.

If you would like to be party to a constructive dialogue, I am more than happy to oblige; however, please avoid the usage of ad hominem attacks so that we avoid lowering the debate and focus on the issues. Have care.

Best Regards,

Devanampriya

Hi Devan,

I only said that as your tone seems provocative at times especially when you use phrases such as "ummm yeh" or just blatantly deride someone elses edit as convoluted or ridiculous. I hope you understand and help contribute to the articles here. Regards, (Giani g 13:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC))

Hello Giani G,

I am glad we understand each other now. I assure you, it is not my intention to sound like Lumberg from office space. The "umm" is on account of confusion with some of the curious charges that are often levelled by yourself or your counterpart. Regardless, I am confident that we can move forward productively to improve these articles. If you have any questions regarding the subject matter, feel free to bring them up on my discussion page.

Regards,

Devanampriya

Re: Jingoism

Hello Giani G,

Actually, I was looking over that section. I didn't contribute to the historical comparison segment, and it doesn't really matter to me whether it stays or goes. But I know that there were some other contributors who were pretty passionate about that section (see discussion page talk: response to Blnguyen). You might want to discuss this with them first to head off another edit war.

Regards,

Indo-Greek map

Thank you for your support Giani! PHG 20:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Giani. Thank you for your message. I am waiting for a scan of the map by Sponsianus, so that I can incorporate the outline into a new, comprehensively referenced map. Regards. PHG 06:47, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Classical Removed from HM stylistic origins

Hi Giani

Here's an explanation about the removing of classical from the stylistic origins. The influences of classical are not denied at all. Only the descendance from classical is denied. Well just read what I've written in the talk page

Yamuna

Yeah it does. Read the quote. "The Yamuna was known after the campaigns of Seleucus". That absolutely does give the impression that he did campaign that far. Moreover, that little tidbit is of no relevance to this article. It is out of place. Hence, it is fanwank.

George Galloway

Hi Giani. I notice that you restored the word 'far' to the description of Galloway's political views. I would be interested to know your reasons for this, as in my opinion, there are a number of points in his politics which seperate him from, and place him markedly to the right of, many others (including members of Respect) who might more accurately be described as 'far-left'. I'm thinking, for instance, of his apparent opposition to abortion and his refusal to accept no more than the average worker's wage - to name but two. Guy Hatton 15:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Italiotis

Kalispera. I saw that you have deleted the description basileus and reiinstated the title king. Please allow me to explain you the change. The title bore by the hellenistic rulers was never king as king derives from the german word koenig ( a derivative from the first name of Carolus Magnus). Basileus is the accurate title which was used by alexander and his diadochi. Such was the impact of basileus word in the hellenistic world that years later when Augustus initiated the imperial period of Rome he was know in the east as basileus from the first moment and not princeps as his title used to be. King is the contemporary litteral translation in english of the word basileus, but basileus was the particular title. If you disagree please use my discussion page to adress any of your concerns. Nonetheless I will include the word basileus and i will include the word king next to it in braquets as the modern common translation. Please find here a site containing a tetradrachm of Seleucus. The inscription on the second side read: Seleucus Basileos http://cgi.ebay.com/AAH-Seleucus-I-Nicator-312-281-BC-Silver-tetradrachm_W0QQitemZ140160603623QQihZ004QQcategoryZ4738QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks a lot Italiotis 21:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

IP Vandalism

I have put in requests for page protection on all the pages that our ip vandal targets. It appears the requests have been granted. I reccomend keeping an eye on them all and once the protection expires if the edits continue to request protection again at WP:RFPP. Knowledgeum (talk) 21:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!, that has certainly saved me some time, perhaps I'll be able to get some real edits in at some point. [[User:Giani g|Giani g]] (talk) 13:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to decline your most recent batch at RFPP; I hope you understand that this tactic isn't working and we need to deal directly with the user. If you put together a good SSP report, we can probably get it CU'ed and get a rangeblock. Tan ǀ 39 18:40, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll drop you a message if I need some help. [[User:Giani g|Giani g]] (talk) 16:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Biased edits

Three revert rule

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on K2. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Dpmuk (talk) 17:57, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Nangparbat

Hello Giani g, regarding your sockpuppet accusation over Nangparbat, I just wanted to remind you that if the accuser doesn't request CheckUser for ten days, the report will be closed by an administrator. I don't remember seeing your request in the mentioned page. Thanks and have a good day.  S3000  ☎ 08:40, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Then since all the evidence is presented lets just wait for some administrator to have his/her say and take the necessary action. I guess that's all we can do for now.  S3000  ☎ 17:24, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Anyway since you were recommended by Tanthalas39 to submit the report, why not seek his advice since he's an administrator.  S3000  ☎ 17:35, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Dont Ignore

Hi Giani g its your freind the dynamic ip how do you do anyways lets get it on First give me a reason for inserting disputed claims to pakistani mountains whats even the point of including it on several peaks you dont allow others to say the same about your indian mountains so please explain the logic if there is any of inserting these claims on the mountains why not do the same to indian mountians im sure you will answer me instead of ignoring me and having sissy fits and reporting me. P.S it doesnt make any sense why your adding this to the articles you added this claim to K2 but other editors deleted it why not re insert there??? are you afraid of other unbiased editors or are you just doing this to wind up me its pretty lame if you think about. 86.158.239.250 (talk) 13:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.239.250 (talk) 09:41, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I told you to sign in too, repost your message under nangparbat, then I'll discuss this matter. [[User:Giani g|Giani g]] (talk) 13:08, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

lol this the best you could do ive prooven my point your not prepared to discuss keep your biased rants on mountain pages to yourself.(i forgot the password of that account i made it in a hurry)86.158.239.250 (talk) 13:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.239.250 (talk) 13:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

No, it's just I don't feel as though I have to do anything for you, if you can't stick to the rules like everyone else, why should you be treated like everyone else. In that case make another account before your ip gets blocked, shouldn't take too long. [[User:Giani g|Giani g]] (talk) 13:15, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
