Vergis?

Hi, I'll keep an eye out for the ballot paper you mentioned.

On another note, are you sure Vergis ran in the election. The Ministry of Interior website doesn't mention him (http://194.176.113.1/dimos.aspx?id=105). It's a great site by the way. --Damac 21:26, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

It must be late. His name is there. Sorry about that! --Damac 21:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the ballot. I am looking the results from (http://elections.ypes.gr) and Vergis is there. -- Magioladitis 21:29, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I don't know why, but that page was really hard for me too. It was like a math puzzle or something. - Peregrine Fisher 22:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Just a little heads up on the TV station posts...

You might have to do a little reverting before to change the "established in..." categories. We have an idiot running around these boards named "BenH". That account has been banned, but we caught him sockpuppeting under various IP addresses.

You can see his rap sheet here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_BenH

If the previous author goes by these names or addresses -- best to revert them. What he says in these changes are either false and/or unnecessary.

Many thanks.

Question

Got a bit of a problem. There are some of Clear Channel radio stations that are now under "BT Triple Crown Merger Co." (a private company that is pretty much still Clear Channel), should I put the merger company name in small italics under Clear Channel or just put Clear Channel and leave it at that? - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 19:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Better place your question here. I just entered the Project and I still don't know the policy. -- Magioladitis 20:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Okie Dokie...Thanks Dude:) - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 20:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

TV stations

In reference to:

[BenH] is really confussing me. Should i remove all the stub tags he adds or only the ABC, NBC, etc.? I never could imagine it would be so difficult to change the categories! -- Magioladitis 13:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Please do -- the stub tags are meant only for short articles, and stubs for cities, states, etc. are not meant to be catch alls. Also, state-related categories should only be for the station's city of license, not the entire coverage area. Finally, the use of "|W***" or "|K***" at the end of categories (with the astreisks being the rest of the call letters) is unnecessary, as Wikipedia places them in order by the first letter automatically.

Hope this helps. -- azumanga 17:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Heroes.

I didn't delete ANYTHING on the talk page. I reorganized it. Someone tried to 'gather' all the talk about page length into one section, but did so by duplicating all of both sections, creating two Identical threads on the page. People were answering in both threads. I combined both threads back into one extended thread. Use the edit history to compare the before and after, and you'll see what I mean. Here is what I did. ThuranX 21:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I understand that. I don't understand why you can't wait til lthe season's over. We've gone through this entire sections nad length thing twice before, at least. Every time, we agree to WAIT till the season's over, so we can assess the entire page wit the sesason's fill of hindsight. Anything else seems reckless. For example: We won't need lengthy articles on each of Sylar's victims in three more seasons, a list would be fine, probably one that includes victim name, power they had, season and episode. But now, with only what, 17? episodes out, they seem more important. Reflecting in hindsight would be a great plan. What if Sylar's dead at the end of Volume one? (the first season). Then we'd need a simple table on his page, and nothign on the minor characters page, which will probably be held for recurrent minor characters who cross seasons. Right now, examples of such character APPEAR to be Ando, Linderman, Claire's brother and mother, but we have to wait and see. A little patience will kill no one. Finally, have you joined the WP:HEROES yet? we could use more editors if you haven't. ThuranX 01:03, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Radio Disney Page

I'd love to update that page to add the contests they did. Could you revise this?

Contests

Radio Disney also gives out cool prizes. If you win a contest, you are in the running to win a Grand Prize, which usually consists of meeting a Radio Disney artist or going on an all expenses paid trip. (Usually a dude ranch, a Disney theme park, etc)

• 'Codeword of the Day'-The codeword is given out a few times every hour.
• 'Bud and Iggy's 'Where Are We?' ' Bud and Iggy are lost and it is up to you to find out where they are. Three clues were given out.
• 'Backwards Bop'-A snippet of a song was played backward. You had to try and guess what the song is forward (1996-2001)
• ''Slowpoke Snippet-Exactly like Backwards Bop, only the song was slowed down (1996-2001)
• 'My Dog's Better Than Your Dog'Callers call in with their pet dog and tries to get them to bark on command. (1997-2001)
• 'I Did Something Cool In School'A Just Plain Mark and Zippy contest done weekly. Callers call in, and tell about something they did in school. The most interesting one wins (1996-2001)
• 'I Just Found Out'Another Just Plain Mark and Zippy weekly contest. Callers call in, telling about something they found out, either in school, at home, etc.
• 'I Had A Bad Day Because'The third of Just Plain Mark and Zippy's contest. The caller who had the worst bad day wins (1996-2001)
• 'Just Plain Mark and Zippy's Island' This was done every Friday afternoon. Kids would send in their made up stores about being stranded on a deserted island. The story would contain three song titles in the sentences and those songs would be played and you would win a prize.

An example of a story would be "My family went on a boat trip to Hawaii, but on our way, our boat capsized, so we had to swim to a nearby island. When we finally got to land, we came across a sign that said "Welcome to the beautiful island of C'est La Vie

And that particular song would be played and this continued for two more songs.

• 'Battle of the Cities' Two callers from different cities would call in. (During Mark and Zippy's show) and three questions would be given out. The caller who answers the most questions wins and gets bragging rights for their city.

TV

and? Just because some TV shows use them does not mean there's a consensus to apply them wiki-wide. They're not needed in the context of the articles. Matthew 13:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Why not? The summary changes vert often until we watch the episodes and for one more reason: many people add unconfirmed info and this is a goos warning before we remove it.

No they do not change very often, the template is not a warning not to add unconfirmed information, a simple hidden comment would do that, also alerting the adders to WP:ATT, none the less the tags are unneeded clutter. Matthew 13:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome to get consensus for the "warning" to be added, there is however none to add it, and as in my opinion it is unneeded I have again removed it (you're welcomed to remove it from the Lost LOE if it so pleases you). Matthew 14:27, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

The last time these warnings were discussed the consensus was to only apply them to shows in which the shows running is possibly an issue, or something could drastically change suddenly, a page properly cited would not need these warnings. Matthew 14:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Jericho episode.

Hey Magioladitis, You recently deleted the episode that I had added on the Jericho wiki. The information about that episode is stated on the official jericho wiki, in the "Ask the producers" section (see here: http://jerichowiki.cbs.com/page/Ask+the+Producers ). Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks Mrx9898 09:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks. I just glimshed the episode list in the official Jericho wiki and the episode wasn't there. Sorry for deleting. -- Magioladitis 16:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't "sub-categorize" footballers

Hello. May I ask you not to "sub-categorize" footballers by removing the nationality categories, such as Category:Spanish footballers, even when they are included in a sub-category such as Category:Spain international footballers. The standard practice is to always include them in the super-category concerning its nationality. This is suggested by the guideline Wikipedia:Categorization and subcategories#Incomplete sets of subcategories. So duplication of categories is preferred. Thanks. Chanheigeorge 00:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

ok. Thanks for the information. -- Magioladitis 09:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

List of Prison Break minor characters

That is certainly a fair point you raise about the Imdb, so I would think better of citing it. However, the page you linked was merely the "series cast and crew," which only lists actors that are credited as being in 2 or more episodes. You'll also notice no listing for "Kristine Kellerman" on that page either. TV.com also lists Tina Holmes as playing "Kristine Pace". Granted, it also has some user-created content, but in my experience, the credits tend to be more accurate than the Imdb with regard to recently aired episodes. Would this be justifiable as a secondary source? Thanks for the input. -Juansmith 06:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I think you are right although I checked and I think TV.com is also a non-reliable source. I checked the official Prison Break board and her surname is certainly Pace. I believe you've done an excellent work with this! -- Magioladitis 00:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. The character was originally listed as "Kristine Pace" but later in the episode, "Fin Del Camino", in the scene where Paul Kellerman is about to commit suicide, he writes her name down as "Kristine Kellerman". I think we should follow the name mentioned in the episode itself. What Prison Break board are you referring to? Do you mean the forum? By the way, there was a similar change of name for "Jane Phillips", who was actually credited as "Jane Barrow" in an earlier episode. Regards, Ladida 10:20, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. First of all i want to comment that I haven't watched the two last episodes yet. It seems the thing with Kellerman's sister last name to be more complicated than I believed. Well, the steps i did were the following:

• I checked the boards of the official page and everybody calls her "Pace".
• I checked the 2 official press releases at the Futon Critic from both episodes she appears and the name was again "Pace". Especially, check here for the official press release of her last appearance.

If i may guess something is that Kristine Kellerman was married and changed her last name to Pace. In fact I have no problem to be stated either as Pace or Kellerman. I think if in the series she was never mentioned as "Pace" and you say that she was mentioned once as "Kellerman" is better to have her with the latter name. I ll not attempt any other edit to the name until the thing is completely cleared. (Wow! I wrote many things finally!) -- Magioladitis 11:16, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

The press releases are kind of dodgy with names like spelling Sara as "Sarah". I noticed that "Pace" was used in the press releases and in TV Guide which gets its info from press releases. That was the reason I added the character with that name prior to the episode "Fin Del Camino". Her last name was never spoken out loud but Paul Kellerman later wrote it down so ... I don't know ... Thanks for your reply, by the way. :) Ladida 14:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Ladida - I just checked my recording of "Fin del Camino", and you're correct. He writes her name down on the envelope as Kristine Kellerman. Good call. Her name may very well be Kristine Pace (and for some reason he referred to her by her maiden name), but I'd say we have no official basis by which to confirm that. -Juansmith 17:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to copy the content of this discussion over to the talk page for the article, since it seems to belong there more appropriately. -Juansmith 17:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Christopher Lloyd (gardener)

Thanks for your edit to Christopher Lloyd (gardener). Unfortunately, Arts and Crafts with a capital C refers to the Arts and Crafts movement. Nathaniel Lloyd's work was in the Arts and Crafts' style. His posters were not about arts and crafts. --Bejnar 02:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. -- Magioladitis 09:05, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Molly Walker

because your edit removed random chunks, leaving poor grammar and fragmented sentences. While I rebuilt the first part, I forgot the second part. I'll fix it now. ThuranX 13:08, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm trying to find ways to shorten a little bit the descriptions. They are to detailed. English grammar is not my strong point... yet. -- Magioladitis 13:16, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

they are rarely too detailed, and you seem mostly to be shortening the shorter descriptions, which can result in large blank spots due to the size of the images accompanying each character. There's little point to removing much more, many of these entries have been revised shorter before many times. ThuranX 13:19, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

KKE

Sorry about that. I was editing out of a version prior to your edit, and accidentally deleted your edit. --Soman 11:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Oliver Close

Hi, I noticed that you started the article on Oliver Close Estate, which has a link from the Leyton article. The article has a history that you could probably draw on to expand it. -- Rob C (Alarob) 18:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I just made some changes following Wikipedia:Dead-end pages. I haven't checked the article's history. I just saw that the article was meant to redirect to Leyton. Should we try to expand the article or revert to redirection? -- Magioladitis 18:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Since there's a link at Leyton to Oliver Close, I'm in favor of fixing up a short article. It's a housing estate that was demolished in 1997, as I remember, and somehow it ended up on my watchlist. I wasn't involved in the AfD discussion. It appears that thousands of people have lived there, so it's as notable as any of our small towns that we cover so diligently over here in the States. I mean, I started Elko, Georgia, so can't pretend that Oliver Close isn't notable enough. -- Rob C (Alarob) 18:27, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

OK then. I agree it should be a separate article. I can only make small improvements since I am not familiar with the subject. Right now i am adding tags,links and categories to articles. -- Magioladitis 18:34, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem; I'll jump to it when I can. This weekend I expect. -- Rob C (Alarob) 18:36, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, it's a bit longer now. I found an archaeological report online! -- Rob C (Alarob) 21:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Template:Deadend

Hey, I noticed you are a regular DEP contributor, so I wanted your opinion.

I have made a new template, at Template:Deadend. Could you please comment and/or vote on the templates talk page (here)?

Your article

I took a look at Upasana Vaduthala. It still needs work, but it's better than before. I see no reason to delete it.

If you would like people to help improve the article, I suggest that you leave a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject India asking for assistance.

Best regards. YechielMan 15:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi!

I noticed some tagging you were doing at new pages patrol. We need help so thanks! Just wanted to drop you a message about one issue. When you tag an article for speedy deletion, it really needs to fall into a specific speedy deletion criteria, which are listed at WP:CSD. There are a pretty short list of speedy deletion tags that are used often which tell you in their text the criteria they are used under (you can memorize them pretty quickly because their names tell you the criteria).

Here's a list of pretty much all of them: {{db-bio}}, {{db-group}}, {{db-web}}, {{db-nonsense}}, {{db-empty}}, {{db-nocontext}}, {{db-band}}, {{db-club}}, {{db-attack}}, {{db-repost}}, {{db-vandal}}, {{db-spam}}, {{db-copyvio|url=url of source}}, {{db-redirtypo}}, {{db-redirnone}}, {{db-blanked}} and {{db-talk}}. The generic deletion tag is pretty much only useful for articles that fit some criteria but further explanation is needed. If nothing fits, the typical thing to do is to use a {{prod}} tag. If that is removed, or the deletion is controversial, the article can be listed at AFD. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit 15:39, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Great! Since you should be armed with all the information in the area, on a related issue, it is often appropriate to leave a message on a creating user's talk page when tagging. For instance, for articles tagged as db-bio/db-band/db-group (CSD A7), {{nn-warn}} is useful (all of these templates, unlike the db deletion templates, should be substituted and have parameters for the name of the article being referred to in the warning, so you would format them like so: {{subst:nn-warn|name of article}}--~~~~). For empty articles (CSD A1 and A3): {{empty-warn}}. For attack pages (CSD G10): {{attack}}. For nonsense (CSD G1): {{Nonsensepages}}, and generic, "please stop creating crap": {{test1article}}, (which succeeds to {{test2article}} and so on, or {{uw-create}} (which succeeds to {{uw-create2}} and so on.

For articles that you have prodded (done by placing the {{prod}}, template like this {{subst:prod|your rationale for why the article should be deleted}}; a very useful template for newpages patrol), you can add to the author's talk page {{prodwarning}}. You can explore various warning templates at WP:UTM. If you have any questions about newpages patrol, or anything else, please do not hesitate to drop me a message.--Fuhghettaboutit 15:55, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Helicopter NPOV

Re this edit on List of Coalition aircraft losses in Iraq. You say it is NPOV to report the American version of events and that both sources must be cited. Perhaps we can include the militant claim, but only in the form I had it in. Why? First, the militants have exaggerated many helicopter death tolls, so why is this the only one cited? Second, surely the American military is a more credible source on this matter--If we are to believe them about every other helicopter crash, why provide a counter-source for this incident? And how would the militants even know how many passengers were on the craft? PBP 16:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I think the NPOV says that we have to present both sides of the event equaly. Why believe that the militants have exaggerated the tolls and not that the US Army are decresing the number of deaths? (I don't say that they certainly do it but I think you get my point). It would be good if you had cross referenced for all the cases. Of course, we are using referenced from Western media because it's more easy for us to find. Moreover, for some cases I checked in Al-Jazzera for example, the numbers of the casualties were exactly the same. Of course, I didn't have the time to do it for all the cases. The way you suggest to be written obviously implies that the US sources are more trustworthy than the others and I don't think this is a NPOV. Friendly, Magioladitis 16:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Overlinking

Thanks for your help on the Titanic passengers page :) I wasn't aware that there was a policy against overlinking, but it does help to reduce the size! Morhange 08:40, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I also found out about this policy by luck and I think it's a cool one. Nice work with the aritcle. We saved the aricle from deletion but now steps must be done in order to make it a good article. I have some suggestions: 1. Make the table sortable, 2. Instead of using italics put a column "Saved" with a Y or N, 3. divide the Hometown in two columns Hometown and Homecountry for better sorting. Moreover, can you explain me what is this "m" next to same ages? I don't get it. Keep the good work! -- Magioladitis 08:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I thought about adding the Saved column, I just didn't want to make it too cluttered; the same with the hometown/country, though I did think about adding the flags for nationality in replacement of the country. Also, how can I make the table sortable? I'm not new to Wiki, per se, but I just edit mostly, I'm not familiar with all the cool albeit advanced things you can do. Also, the "m" stands for months, and it's only for the infant passengers. I didn't want to put 0, because I think of a newborn when I see that, and I didn't want to put 1, because they weren't one. I think I could length it to mos. or something like that to clarify. Morhange 08:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Just saw your new edits! WOW! Very cool! The only problem I have is with the ages, now all the babies are messing up the age column by appearing under other ages, instead of being grouped at the top above the year-olds. Morhange 09:08, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Condemned_(band)

Hi. Thank you for your response and understanding. I have cleaned up the article and re-written the page. If you have a second could you take a look and let me know if you have anymore suggestions to avoid deletion? It is very true as you point out that the sources for reviews etc in death metal aren't going to be in the likes of Rolling Stones magazine ;) . Mojowibble 18:58, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Cobo

Hi. Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I wasn't intending to take a break from Wikipedia, yet one sort of happened and I haven't edited in several weeks. In response to your question, it was perfectly all right for you to create Cobo. The page I deleted was garbage - I believe the text was "Cobo - long hair - his sister's hot" or something like that. Creating a non-garbage page at a title that happened to have previously been used for a nonsense page is no problem at all. Natalie 20:37, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

List of Coalition aircraft losses in Iraq

Hi, Magioladitis. You were right about there being three Puma crashes, that was my mistake. However, the Harring Report is incorrect in its facts. If you compare the two pages, you will see that the Harring Report has copied the Wikipedia page word for word; using it as a source would mean we were using ourselves as a source! I don't know why they inserted the info about casualties to the three crashes in question, since I can find no sources outside that site that says people died in those crashes. Iraq Coalition Casualties, which lists all official deaths, shows no one dying in those crashes on those days. It must be an error on Harring's side. Hope this clears things up. PBP 05:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I will wait, but like I said, the Harring Report seems to just have copied its text from our site. Of course GNU allows that, but he really shouldn't cite other sources if he got it from us. And after a bit of searching, given the tail number provided on the page, I have found a reference to the Oct 30 crash: http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/2000.html . Helicopter number 5211 is listed as: "Crashed with 6-6th Cav Oct 30, 2003 near Balad AAF, Iraq. Force landed after inflight fire. Crew exited safely but aircraft burnt out." PBP 16:18, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:PROD on The 123rd FA Cup final

Please have a look at WP:PROD#How_to_nominate. Prod nomination should contain a reason as to why you think it should be deleted. Thanks. KTC 06:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment. In fact, i have requested a speedy delete of the article at first and there have given a reason. The speedy was declined and then i proposed a prod but I forgot to add the reason again. I'll be more careful in the future -- Magioladitis 07:09, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

DEFAULTSORT and accents

Howdy. A non-obvious bit of wiki-trivia is that, to get correct English sorting in categories, the letters in sort keys in DEFAULTSORT and category statements need to be stripped of accents. As an example, for Pedro Julio Sánchez, the correct form is: {{DEFAULTSORT:Sanchez, Pedro Julio}}, and not {{DEFAULTSORT:Sánchez, Pedro Julio}} (with the accented "a"). The problem is that the Wikipedia database use binary sorting, where "á" comes after "z", instead of with/near "a". This is a long-standing bug in Wikipedia that isn't going to be fixed any time soon (it really is a hard problem to fix correctly). See also WP:Categorization_of_people#Ordering_names_in_a_category.

SrCl2•6H2O

Hi. Take a second look to that page. See that all the content is already in [[Strontium chloride] in more detail. Moreover, SrCl2•6H2O is orphan and it's obscure to have a redirect with the chemical formula of a Chloride. I checked many of them and there is no other redirects of a formula. This is only in special cases, e.g. [[H2O]. -- Magioladitis 17:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't endorsing the article - I was just objecting to your speedy deletion tag. Your the one who blanked the article and created the redirect and then nominated it as a bad redirect. Thats an inappropriate use of the speedy tag. WP:PROD would have been more appropriate. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 17:45, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

ok. Maybe I had to nominate it immediately for speedy without fixing it first a little bit. But, I wanted, in case speedy is not appropriate, to have the redirect page instead of the duplicated article. I think, in fact, I did two steps in one. In any case the article shouldn't remain since there is a better page containing all the info already. Thanks. -- Magioladitis 17:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

A redirect seems fine to me. Redirects are cheep anyway. You could nominate it at WP:RFD perhapses. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 17:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

OAKKE

Hi, I noticed your edit of election results on the OAKKE page. When I was in Greece I was told that the electorate of OAKKE mainly consisted of aging KKE sympathizers who selected the wrong party by mistake. Is there any substance to such a statement and, more importantly, would there be any way to source that? --Soman 18:56, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. This theory is spread mainly from KKE supporters to downgrade any influence small parties, using the word "Communist" in their title, may have or it's mainly said as a joke between people.. It is said the same for M-L KKE in some cases and less for KKE (m-l). I don't think there is any real basis one that and I don't think there is any reliable source for something like that.

Some people may get confused but I don't think that is the majority but a very small minority which it may be smaller than old people voting using ballots from previous elections(!) [This is happening because candidates post ballots with their name marked and some older people use them again after some years!]. The only thing I have read about confusing OAKKE with KKE is a letter to Rizospastis (KKE's newspaper) in 2004 from one of their members claiming that in a polling station there were counted 3 votes for OAKKE and none for KKE even if he and his family had voted KKE there. Btw, you are doing a wonderful job in Wikipedia -- Magioladitis 07:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm also very grateful for your contributions here. I have another question: At Movement for the United in Action Left the word 'CGT union' is mentioned. Which union is this? GSEE? PAME? -Soman 15:15, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

It's GSEE. Kostopoulos disagreed with PAME and left a little before its foundation. One of the reasons of his expulsion from KKE was his support to a French-like 35-hours-per-week model which declared by publishing a book without the party's approval. -- Magioladitis 15:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Interesting article on KEKKE. I found [1], is that a personal blog or an actual organization. Did KEKKE themselves use the term Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist? What do we know about OKMLE? Did they have exiles in Albania? --Soman 15:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I really have to learn Greek at some point. I found [2]. Is it correct, judging from the forum post, to say that OKMLE broke away from KKE(m-l) in 1973? What is PPSP? --Soman 15:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I'll try to start the article for OKMLE probably today. I have to check some notes I have. OKMLE's blog is maintained by Anasintaxi. I am not sure if the the term M-L-S was first used by KEKKE or by Anasintaxi. I'll check my archive of newspapers. OKMLE didn't split from KKE (m-l), that's incorrect. OKMLE was created from KKE members. OKMLE was connected with the Labour Party (Albania). They never affiliated themselves with OMLE or KKE(m-l) because of the critique the maoists did to Zachariades. Sofianos, who was a leading figure of the Zachariadists in Tashkent, and his wife were participated in the establishment of the the "Temporary CP of KKE", later KKE (m-l) (not the one who occurred from OMLE's split but the one before). The left KKE (m-l) almost immediately. Sofianos died in the socialist countries and never got connected with OKMLE or the Zachariadists in Greece. If he did, he would probably be their leader.

PPSP (Progressive All-student Syndicalist Platform) was the student platform of KKE (m-l). -- Magioladitis 17:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

This just gets more and more interesting. Generally the pro-albanian parties emerged out of splits of the maoist parties around 1978-1980. This was apparently not the case in Greece. Was there no pro-Albania group in Greece prior to 1982? PPSP was the front of the maoist KKE(m-l) or Sofianos' KKE(m-l)? How was the relation between OKMLE and Albania? Did OKMLE have radio broadcasts from Albania? (like the spanish PCE(m-l) used to have). --Soman 19:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

There was no pro-Albania groups in Greece prior to 1982. The majority of the DSE guerilas who were font of Zachariades and later following the Party of Labour remained in the socialist countries. I am not sure of the exact relation between OKMLE and Albania. Their newspaper printed radio broadcasts and brochures were also published. They didn't have a radio station. In the blog there are at least two brochures with radio broadcasts. PSPS was the front of the maoist KKE(m-l) (that succeeded OMLE). The first KKE(m-l), consisted of communists in the SSR and leaded by P. Daniilidis, was united in 60s with the group of communists around the magazine "Anagenissi", leaded by G. Hotzeas and I. Iordanidis, in Greece to create OMLE. They later, after Mao's death split in KKE(m-l) and M-LKKE .

Btw, here and here there are two articles about the Tashkent events in English. -- Magioladitis 20:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Looking for your advice on Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery/Capitalisation

Hi, I saw on Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery/Capitalisation/2 that you cleared a bunch of the fixed wikilinks. Should I be doing this while I fix things on Red Links page 3 ? I'm new to the red link recovery project. -- Guroadrunner 23:39, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed your contributions to WikiProject Red Link Recovery. Please read the instructions carefully. If you handled a case and corrected the link then delete the entry, not just strike it. Keep up the good work. Friendly, Magioladitis 11:59, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. While working on Red Link/3 do the following:

When you correct a suggestion, or the red link doesn't exist at the page then delete the entry of the red link/3. (not just strike it).

Strike only cases you can't handle and the suggestion is not correct. We need the exceptions only for not including them at the next time the list is generated.

You don't have to type "no" everytime. "xxxx vs yyyy" would do the job (since the repaired entries are deleted).

Take care with entries with special characters. due to a problem of the generated list some entries appear as red links but there are not. Better don't touch these links or do a further research to fix them.

Your contributions are really helpful. If you follow above suggestions I think we'll cooperate perfectly to finish this project. Friendly, Magioladitis 09:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to drop a friendly note that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Red_Link_Recovery/Capitalisation/5 is complete. I think I did exactly what you do when a section is done, but if you want to check it over, feel free. Guroadrunner 09:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

KKE

Hi,

Following your advise I post my point of view in your talk page.

As I understand you have study a bit of KKE history. In my opinion you missed the point of the existance of the Greek Communist party ( in particular) or any other Communist or "Communist" Party elswhere. I don't want to give a lecture - this is not my point at all- so I will be sort.

The Communist Party of Greece, was founded under the Marxist-Leninist Theory and is still under this ideology. Throughout its 90 year history, although it had turns that brought questions on its character, it never deviated from its original roots. Furthermore, KKE kept the same organization chart all those years - otherwise we couldn't refer to it as a Leninist Party.

Although KKE disolved the greek local organizations in 1950, a small underground organization was still existing in order to sustain the political line that KKE was embrashing those years for peaceful action in Greece. It never disolved the organisations in the Sosialist States and the Central Comitee of the Party was still working with headquarters in Romania. This can be found in all KKE documents but here I talk out of personal experie on these issues.

Splits and rejections of the KKE were held throughout its 90 year old history, but never a party created from KKE's split had neither the power or the same political agenta.

Last but not least, KKE members that entered the Party all these 90 years are still members of KKE and- for what is worth- these members were the katalyst that kept KKE a Marxist Leninist party on the crisis of 1991.

About Elections: Main KKE political line is the creation of coalitions based on peoples political formations and common goals. Under this respect Peoples front on '30s, EAM on '40s, EDA on 1950-1967, United Left on 1974, Synaspismos on 1988, PAME on 1998 are under the same political umbrella: Coalitions of the left winged group of citizens or parties. Even today, although "KKE" was the title in the election several small groups were also joining this effort.

Under the above prespective, KKE has a history of 90 years. You can't detach any of these years from this solid history line.— Preceding unsigned comment added by DKAce (talk • contribs)

I think we should move this discussion to Talk:Communist Party of Greece. I'm going to cut the above comment and post it there.--Damac 07:09, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the election article. Just a question. Is the projected seats distribution your own math or you take it from elsewhere? We can't have the former and the latter needs a source. Thanks, --Irpen 18:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Austrlaian films

Hi see WikiPorject Films discussion and the notice at the top of the Category:Australian films. Splitting films by genre for each country is highly confusing . Category:American films remains intact and so should every country especially Australia -this is a WikiProject Films convention and Australia shouldbn;t be any different. The categories are currently all up for cfd The Wild West guy 14:02, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Categorizing films as AUstralian films. Australian comedy films, Comedy films etc is over categorization and makes finding the films in the A-Z of Australian films very difficult. Often many categories overlap some films are both drama and comedy and it duplicates and confuses our filing system. There are only about 250 films from Australia currently on wikipedia that is only one page and a half . Its not as if we have twenty pages in this categoryThe Wild West guy 14:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Well what shouldn't have been done was moving films out of Category:Australian films to begin with. This is a very important category that they are filed A-Z -all of them. There was a clear message not to do this per standard for each country -film categories should be kept as simplfied as possible. The Wild West guy 14:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Please take this to one central talk location at the australian project noticeboard - otherwise the issue will not get adequately sorted out SatuSuro 14:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Please take any further comments to Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board - individual talk pages are not relevant to a project wide issue like this SatuSuro 14:16, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Minister for/Ministry of

Hi,

As an English speaker, I believe the correct usage is Minister for .../Ministry of .... For consistency's sake on Wikipedia, I'd ask you to revert your recent move of Minister of National Education and Religious Affairs (Greece). As the logo of the Ministry makes clear, in English it is the "Ministry of". For some reason, I cannot access the site to see how the minister is referred to.

And just because a Greek establishment writes its title a particular way in English does not automatically mean that this is correct. Mistakes and bad English are very common here.

I also disagree with your abbreviating of the party names in the lists of ministers. Outside readers do not automatically know what ND, PASOK, etc., means. Abbreviating them achieves very little in my view. --Damac 20:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

If you look at Category:Lists of government ministers of the United Kingdom, you'll notice that most of the present-day Secretaries of State (=Minister) are Secretaries of State for ... The same applies for the articles in Category:Irish Government. So, that seems to be how English speakers in the European Union do things. I remember looking this up and weighing up all the options when I started most of those Minister for ... articles for Greece.--Damac 21:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Greek MPs sortable table

Excellent work, Magioladitis! Well done

Any idea how we can get the names to sort alphabetically? Do we need do change them to "Surname, Name" format? We can use a pipe link for those MPs with articles.--Damac 18:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Just had a look around. This is how its done for a list of British Labour MPs.--Damac 19:08, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I think having two columns, one with Name and one with Last name/First name look good. You can do it like that. The columns "entered for the first time" and the next one I think they are not needed. Let's go and make and "Last/name" column! Btw, I think the color in the LAOS rows is a little bit dark and the name is not so clear for someone to see. -- Magioladitis 20:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Earl

Are you asking for help creating the season articles? Right now I'm swamped with school, work, and some other articles on Wikipedia I'm trying to clean up. The best I can do at the moment is show you the season articles I worked on, and tell you to copy that format--if you like it. Smallville (season 1) is the most developed season article on Wikipedia, but I don't think Earl has that much information. So, Smallville (season 2), and any season after this, can show you what to do for limited information articles. If you have a lot of trivia from the episodes, just create a "trivia" section to dump it all in until you can work in into legitimate sections. If you don't want an article, then I suggest looking at Lost (season 1) (and the seasons that follow that). Those pages are technically "list" pages, and not "articles". From what I can tell, all of those season lists are featured lists. Just go on My Name is Earl (season 1) and copy whatever page you like the best--but remove everything except the coding, because you wouldn't be able to use Lost or Smallville information. If you are worried about creating it, you could start at User:Magioladitis/sandbox, and work on the pages there. This way, when you are comfortable with what you have you can move it over to the mainspace. Whatever you choose I'll keep an eye out to help whenever there is a snag--or you could message me if you have a question--I just don't have the time necessary to create a completely new page at the moment.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

It's up to you. You could technically write an article where you summarized each episode into one coherent plot section, or you could do like I did with Smallville and use the general table from the LOE page and put the synopses there. My reasoning for doing it that way over the other was because of all the different writers/directors/airdates/titles for each episode, it just seemed liked the most logical organization to me. But, you may find a better one. There is nothing set in stone, as the Smallville season pages are probably the first of their kind to be organized in that manner. Whatever works best.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 16:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Heroes merging

Greetings. Just wondering if I could ask you a quick question. Is their a particular reason you want to merge all the supporting/recurring character articles in the Heroes article? You just seem so passionate about it, I was wondering what your thought process was. I was under the impression that at Wikipedia, users could start articles on whatever things they felt were important. I am not mad or anythng, so I hope my tone doesnt sound that way. I am just curious. Does wikipedia have to preserve the amount of articles it has or something. I just feel like it doesnt hurt anyone for the articles to stay...what the harm in having them? If someone is looking up Eden or Molly for example, maybe they do want to know more detail than 10 lines can emcompass...you know? But, anyway, I am just asking because I am not goingt o argue the merges anymore, seeing as to how I am fighting a loosing battle...lol...but I am just curious so in the future when merging comes up again, I can make a better arguement based on wikipedia policy. Thanks for your reply...BIG TEETH SMILE.--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 23:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi!! It's really cool because i just wanted to write you something because I felt very bad with the whole situation. I certainly don't have anything against you or Heroes TV series. I am a great fun of it. Moreover, if you check my contributions in Talk:List of My Name Is Earl episodes i tried to save My name is Earl episodes with no success.

Two things really bother me: The low quality of the articles and that some people create articles exactly after a character's first appearance. My logic is the following: In the beginning we have some information about a character. We add it in the main article. After that the information becomes more and we have feedback from media sources. Then, we proceed to an independent article.

I took me a while to understand why we can't say "Alejandro WAS a fictional character" or the policy of WP:FICTION but now I agree with it.

I was not planning to merge articles immediately. This is not something I did. In many case months pass after an article is tagged to me merged and usually this helps people to be motivated to improve it. Check the Talk page of Ted Sprague. Someone anonymous requested time to improve the article. I didn't touch it for 2 weeks and I wasn't planning to touch it for more time if it was necessary. Afterall, we have life outside wikipedia as well.

I wish I had access to US media and help you improve the Molly Walker article. I ll try something but check my contributions I am really doing many things for Wikipedia.

Really friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 23:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I hope I don't disappoint you to continue contribution to the articles about Heroes. Your's small addition in Molly's article today really helps in to the improvement of its quality. An idea is that you can keep expanding the summaries for the characters in the main article and collecting some information in your Sandbox or something and then re-create article that have been merged. :)

PS Btw, your contributions to The Company (Heroes) are great. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:26, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Check Nikki and Paulo article from Lost. This article was so good that took a star. It's considered now as a model article. I don't expect this level but gives the idea of the structure. Magioladitis (talk) 23:29, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing things up. I fully understand the merging and I respect what is being done. I guess the good thing is, as the series grow, there is still a slim possibility that some of these minor characters will be reintroduced and their articles can be expanded. Hopefully we can get more real world content for their sections to make them more notable. Thanks. I did have a question. Are you an editor? If so, I really need some honest tips of how to improve the Company page on heroes. I hate the tag that is on their, but i understand why the article was tag. I just dont know how to go about improving the article so that it is less in universe. I think it is too detailed for Wikipedia. Any suggestions on what I can do?--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 23:37, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Heroes is a funny series. The plot is distributed in to many characters. I think this is the main reason it's difficult to have good article for some secondary characters. Many people contribute so little. I still can understand why DL or Simone who were supposed to be main characters appeared so little. I think we are not indenting to re-introduce old characters but keep introducing new characters all the time.

In order to get rid of the in-universe tag try using expressions like "According to the plot" or "In episode the audience is introduced with one more member of the Company", etc. Moreover the "Status" column in the two tables is not correct according to the guideline. Try adding "As of season 2" or remove the columns and just keep them in the talk page as I did to the tables from the List of Heroes characters. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips and the advice. I did a little work on the page today. I see you also made a great add. I am going to research the Company and see what kind of real world things I can find from Tim Kring and the producers about the production and concept history of the Company to better the article and take it out of universe. thanks for the help and advice. and thanks for clearing things up about the merging. i wont fight you about it anymore...laugh out loud...okay...see you on the editing boards soon!!--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 03:10, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

One more tip: I think the Company article needs a paragraph, after the leading one, telling tha the Company plays an important role to the Heroes' plot because the story is around it, most of the characters are connected with the company, its a very important element of the series, blah, blah. Something like this. See you on the boards. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Beta version is completed. I’ve added many serials, details of incidents, unit numbers and several new losses.

• First of all, it should be checked for typos, grammar mistakes, style, wikification etc. I’ve changed many parts, so could be mistakes.
• Second, this version meant just to show what I did find. Sections must be merged in some way and section names changed (I didn’t think about it yet). In the beginning of every section, it’s my own commentary to make things clear, it must be replaced with something more meaningful :).
• I don’t know what to do with disputable cases, but we should do something.
• I didn’t put sources for many obvious cases, but can do it if they are needed. Also I can try to find additional info on some individual aircraft.

You're right about the search box; there remains the possibility of in-text citation somewhere. In general, redirects that are not 'manifestly inaccurate or confusing are not speediable. Other admins may have been letting these slip through (because, really, redirects are hard to care about), but this minor little things are more benefit to the encyclopedia than they are harm to it.

I appreciate the work you've done, but -- since redirects are cheap -- I'd really suggest you devote your energy to something else. I'll stop de-tagging these, however, and you'll probably be lucky enough to get someone who will delete them for you! Best wishes, Xoloz (talk) 16:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Be advised that CSD R3 is for "recently-created redirect page"s. Redirects from 2004 don't apply. Brianga (talk) 12:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't even think those are recent enough. I'll leave them for another admin to decide. Brianga (talk) 12:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that you have nominated a lot of articles for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#R3, "Recently created redirects from implausible typos or misnomers". As the criterion indicates, these redirects have to be created recently. Some of the redirects you nominated were created back in 2003 or 2004. Redirects this old are not covered by R3, they need to go through RFD. Aecis^Brievenbus 01:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I note that since this message, you have nominated two more old redirects for speedy deletion under R3, "Everyone's entitled to their opinion" from 2007 and 'Reddest Red' from 2006. Redirects this old do not fall under the "recently-created" clause of the speedy deletion criterion. Such redirects need to go through RFD. You're doing an excellent job clearing Wikipedia of unnecessary redirects, but please keep this in mind. Aecis^Brievenbus 16:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Greece earthquake

Hello! I see you edited the magnitude of this event from 6.1 to 6.5 using news agencies as your reference. I think 6.5 was in fact the preliminary (early stages) magnitude that was given, because the Greece Geodynamic Institute (the source of many of the news agencies) is now quoting 6.1 (http://www.gein.noa.gr/services/recent-earth.html) along with the USGS. The EMSC also quotes 6.2.

Re:About AWB and reflist

Yeah.. Just had a look at it, the regex doesnt even match the outer bits of <span class="small"><references/></span>...

Bloody thing!

If you have already worked out how to fix it, let me know

—Reedy Boy 19:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, tweaked regex, but not commited. Now will match div or span... Just need to stop it matching only the inner bit now! —Reedy Boy 19:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Greek Left

Hi. Could you have a look at Greek Left, regarding the notability concerns raised in that article. --Soman (talk) 01:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Thx

For the invitation and compliment. I had a go and I'll try and find sometime in the future. Cheers Victuallers (talk) 08:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

sorry to bother you like this, but could you have a look at Talk:Communist Party of India (Marxist)? It a conflict that was been going on for some time now, and is starting to spill over to various other articles as well. --Soman (talk) 14:17, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

thank you for your reply. My approach is to scrap the controversies section, but to integrate critical comments and details into history chapter. In my opinion, thats the best way to de-fork the article. --Soman (talk) 15:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I read your second comment before reading the first. I'll give a brief summary. --Soman (talk) 16:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

• In december a user called User:Govind Vallabhdas began rewriting the lead, based a complete conspiracy theory on the caste aspecty. (see this edit) Since then this user has not been heard of.
• User:Ghanadar galpa picked up the tread, and began reverting back these claims.
• After the allegations on higher caste domination was taken out of the intro, it came down to the 'controversies' section, which then began to grow in an spiralling way.
• then came a discussion on the talk page, which just gets more and more absurd.
• Consistent in this has been a fraudlent use of sources. Sources which predates CPI(M)'s foundation are used to describe the party. Different academics are attributed opinions they haven't expressed in writing.
• Another feature is constant problems in engaging in meaningful discussions, as User:Ghanadar galpa's answer remains the same, to attack his opponents by insinuations rather than responding the actual questions.

"Insector" Haga is NOT an implausible typo

I do not understand the rationale behind considering "Insector" Haga an "implausible typo" - I restored the redirect immediately.

The VIZ Media books with that character sometimes render the name "Insector" Haga- Remember that "Insector" is a title and not an actual name. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

The English language Volume 1 Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist (or at least early publications of this) have the name in quotes.

The Japanese language does not use "quotes" in the same way - Remember that in Japanese the format of a name is Family name given name - But Haga's "full name" starts with katakana, a foreign script. Japanese people do not use katakana as family names and "Insector" is certainly NOT a family name. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Kingbotk plugin for Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools

We're responded at User_talk:Kingbotk/Plugin#Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools.

Any help/suggestions appreciated!

Locateme

Thanks for your message - I'll be glad to add the date, I just didn't know one could! How is it done please? DuncanHill (talk) 12:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I've just looked at how you've done it on the articles I had put locateme on - I'll be sure to do it in future. DuncanHill (talk) 12:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

With some Cornish locations that need co-ordinates, I do have the OS grid ref. Is there a template that, given the OS grid ref, will produce the co-ordinates on an article? DuncanHill (talk) 12:33, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - I'll probably just stick to tagging for the time being! I have worked out how to use the grid ref to produce a link to mapping resources, but, like you, I do find the co-ordinates thing a tad confusing. Best wishes, DuncanHill (talk) 12:45, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. Sorry, I was busy these days and for some reason didn’t noticed your post on my talk page. I think you should post new version which is in your sandbox (though “Aircraft Shot Down” sections doesn't looks good and probably must be upgraded or put on talk page until someone could rewrite it). And then… we’ll see. Maybe I’ll make some minor updates. Anyway, thank you for the work you've done. 195.248.189.182 (talk) 10:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Brush Creek, California

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Brush Creek, California, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 09:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe all three are talking about the place near Oroville, not the creek. --NE2 11:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

If you can write the stub, do so; otherwise we can wait for it to be deleted (or you can tag it with {{db-self}}). --NE2 11:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks good; I added a bit. --NE2 11:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Mancini variations

I'd doublecheck those Deadend project pages. I'm not absolutely sure they fit the criteria for "fixed", so I wasn't prepared to take them out entirely. Trekphiler (talk) 12:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

My major concern was taking out "deadend" & "orphan" tags indiscriminately. I linked out from them a lot, but may have mistakenly del "orphan" tags without linking in. Maybe not a crisis, but worthy somebody having a glance at. Trekphiler (talk) 13:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

That's the problem... Go ahead & take 'em off the list. Next time I go back, I'll get any you missed. I'm going to look & see what tags I took off. Trekphiler (talk) 13:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

peer review

I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link.

Minorities in Greece

Did you read what I wrote on the discussion page? If it is for officially recognized minorities, then why are Slavs there, why are Arvanites there and why are Vlachs there? If the Muslim minority as a whole is to be discussed, then the sections on the Pomaks and the Roma should be moved to that section as well, and it should be moved to the religious minorities section; Greece's Muslim minority doesn't consist of "Muslims, Pomaks and Roma". You speak of neutrality and consensus, that the Muslim minority includes Turks is the consensus of everyone, from the Greek government to foreign encyclopedias. Only fanatical nationalists out of touch with reality could possible disagree. Dolavon —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolavon (talk • contribs) 16:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

What do you think of the article now? It has one Muslim section which is further divided into two subsections: Turks and Pomaks (which reflects the official Greek position, there would also be a Muslim Roma section, but there is little to write there). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolavon (talk • contribs) 16:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I'm sorry about that. At least it has been sorted it out now.Dolavon (talk) 20:16, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure. You see, Armenians, Jews and Muslims in Greece are, as well as being religious minorities, also linguistic, cultural and ethnic minorities, all with ties to other countries. Perhaps the generic Roma could be moved to the "Linguistic and cultural minorities" section and the current "Ethnic minorities" section be renamed to something like "Other minorities". What do you think?Dolavon (talk) 23:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Names of candidates

First of all, there is a long tradition in Cyprus about names and their transliteration. There is no LATIN form of names, there is a latinised spelling. Casoulides, Demetris, Christophias, Costas etc. The names I gave are correct, the names provided by the Govt are wrong, because they follow the "standardisation" rules, like *Lefkosia, which is entirely wrong.

re:Funny Games

Hi. I'd agree, but I think most people aren't even aware of the original. I'm not sure how a disambig should work for two films of the same name. Off the top of my head, I searched for The Man Who Knew Too Much and that links to the disambig page, and not the more "well known" version of the film (albeit, it does have other articles on the page, apart from the 2 films). Maybe raise this on the talk pages for the 2 films, and redirect if necessary. Lugnuts (talk) 15:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Rollback can only be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 00:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Democratic regional union

Hello. I just saw that you edited back a change I made in 'Democratic Regional Union' article as vandalism. What I did was to remove the claim that the party was founded in March 2003. The party had already been contesting in the 2000 election and therefore it cannot have been founded in 2003. My contribution therefore was logical.
