DYK nomination of Pavlos Kouroupis

Hello, I completed a review at Template:Did you know nominations/Pavlos Kouroupis, and noted one question. Please respond there if you're able to help. I look forward to seeing this nomination on the main page. Thanks! Flibirigit (talk) 04:44, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Regarding the "massive" changes to Kavalliotis entry, they are not massive, just the correction of some inconstancies: 1. As the main text of the entry shows, he is not born in Kavalla but in Moschopolis; 2. At his time, ethnic identity was irrelevant, he was an Orthodox educated and acculturated in Greek/Romaios/Eastern Orthodoxy, of Albanian or Vlach, or hyphenited Albanian-Vlach origin; 3. The aim of his work at "at the Hellenization of the non-Greek-speaking Christian communities in the Balkans" is confused with the aim of a similar work, the Greek-Vlach-Albanian-Bulgarian lexicon by his own student, Daniel of Moschopolis, published in 1802; 3. According to Paschalis Kitromilides, his work is the earliest evidence for the transformations that disrupted and subverted both Ottoman rule and Orthodox unity of early modern society in the Balkans.

I believe these corrections are worth considering in the collectively contributed Misplaced Pages.

Best regards, Albert Doja

His birthplace is indeed Moschopolis, but the person in question signed his work as Αναστάσιος Καβαλιώτης, it appears that you mistakenly deleted this. Sure, ethnicity is irrelevant but his Aromanian background is good to be part of this article.Alexikoua (talk) 20:25, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Dear Alexikoua (though I prefer to address your real name instead of a virtual nickname),

Thank you for your reaction, including for your correcting his birthplace.

Of course, the person we are writing about signed himself as "Theodoros Anastasios Kavalliotis of Moschopolis" and it is my mistake if I have deleted any of this.

A major problem with this article still remain the confusion with another work by Daniel of Moschopolis published in 1802. This latter work was commissionned to "Hellenize non-Greek-speaking Orthodox communities in the Balkans". See Paschalis Kitromilides about that. Regarding the irrelevance of ethnicity, the problem is not with his Aromanian background, but with his Albanian or hyphenated Aromanian-Albanian background, which is also good to be part of this article. Another problem is his "Greek identity", which is certainly not an ethnic Greek identity, but a cultural Greek/Romaios/Orthodox background, which is also good to be clearly stated in this article. This will avoid the unpleasing tendency to equate everything Greek/Romaios/Orthodox with the cultures and identities of Greece.

I hope my comments will help your understanding and provide more flexibility in collectively contributing to Misplaced Pages. Best regards, Albert Doja

Eleni Foureira

I know you've edited on the Eleni Foureira article about how she is Greek not Albanian, but now I have an editor misunderstanding policy and trying to tell me policy says she is Albanian.
