An Apology

In my younger years, I have maliciously edited a page, disagreed with views on another page, and edited a page I thought was another (which I think I reverted). So to everyone, I have vandalized before. However I would like to move on and fix articles (after knowledge is power). However if you prefer I did not, I will discontinue my use of Wikipedia.

Knowledge is power

Not in this way. Mallerd (talk) 14:31, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't quite get what you mean. Kostantino888Z (talk) 00:39, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, I do not know if you are familiar with Francis Bacon and/or Idealism, but fixing articles (as much as I appreciate you doing it) isn't really empowering people to overcome nature or any of that sort. Greetings Mallerd (talk) 22:11, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

PS: I wouldn't care as much about vandalism as you do if I were you. Mistakes happen, don't let anyone else decide for you how to do things

Homer Lea

> "...an American an author..."

Too many "an's"

> Best O Fortuna (talk) 04:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I have so much on my plate right now I can not remember any of my wikipedia edits, would everyone mind from now on giving me more information than "Homer Lea"?

And do you not like my edit? Kostantino888Z (talk) 00:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Small ecosystem

I was reading an article about a children's toy. It was basically a snow-globe like thing, except there was not glitter and plastic objects floating around in the globe; but living creatures. I believe there was aquatic plant-life, shrimp, tiny snails, and gravel. The globe had no openinings in it to feed the animals because the bi-products of the creatures feed each other. Anyway, I can not remember the name of this article and that simply bugs me. Does anyone know the name of this article? Kostantino888Z (talk) 22:58, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

It was the Ecosphere (science)! Kostantino888Z (talk) 22:59, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Kastelorizo

Kalimera Kostantino, I reverted your edit only because this is the translation of an article, and I don't think that one should change it. The italian word used there was "fattucchiera" who is a woman who does exactly what you say, and not a witch...Maybe my translation was wrong...

Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 06:34, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the translation is terribly wrong. Though I might be an American, I do know quite a bit of superstitions of at very least the Island of Euboea and other parts of Southern and Central Greece. I cannot stress enough that these women are not shamanka, they only have memorized prayers (not spells or incantations, prayers) for warding off demons and the like. They do not believe spirits have possessed them as shamanka have, or that they were given their power by nature or a dark force like Wiccans or witches.

Obviously there's a cultural clash going on here. If you want, you can find another Greek wikipedian with knowledge on this subject and ask them.

Voyage of the Arctic Tern

I posted a really brief reply about Voyage of the Arctic Tern over at WP:REFUND, but I wanted to expand it a bit here. The easiest way to show notability for books is professional reviews, and this one seems to have a ton. Gnews (google news) is often the best way to find reviews, and it's coming up with a lot.[1] Of course, those behind paywalls are problematic, but the first hit, The Telegraph[2] gives us hope by saying that the book was well received by critics. I'm too lazy today to do the registration, but School Library Journal looks pretty promising, and while I could make a ton of jokes about the Lodi News-Sentinel, it does meet the definition of a professional review. HTH --Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:49, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you so much! The funny thing is when I googled it, only two obscure awards came up that didn't seem to have websites. Thanks for suggesting Google News, never in a million years would I have thought to use that :) Kostantino888Z (talk) 16:51, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Mark-Paul Gosselaar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indonesian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio a Trevi

Hi Konstantinos! I'm aware what the article says, I started it and wrote that specific bit :) I have absolutely no problem with the article being categorized in Category:Orthodox churches in Rome other than the fact that the category does not exist, and if it existed, would only include this same article. In fact, Italy is entirely missing from Category:Eastern Orthodox church buildings by country, what's left for Rome.

Of course, you could always create the whole "infrastructure" required to have a functioning Category:Orthodox churches in Rome or at least Category:Eastern Orthodox church buildings in Italy, but I'm not a fan of one-article categories, personally. Still, I'd have no problem with that.

Sorry if my reverts were unclear, I've never doubted your intentions to improve the article!

Best, — Toдor Boжinov — 18:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Ah, see, I thought you just doubted it was an Eastern church at all, my apologies! I'm only cleaning for a party today, so I can get to work on it in a few hours. I do believe that there's a monastery of ours in the south of Italy and we Greeks have a church out in Venice, so the category won't only have one article at all. I'll just have to do some research, first. Konstantinos (talk) 18:52, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh, there's definitely quite many Orthodox churches in Italy, the problem is to find/write the articles! I've added another one to the category, and I have to admit the task seems much more viable than I originally thought :) — Toдor Boжinov — 21:47, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
