Thanks for blocking the guy who kept vandalizing my user page--St.daniel 02:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello there

I have reblocked indefinitely. You may email me privately if you want the reason. Mackensen (talk) 02:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Please take it easy on Mackensen. He's dealing with some unlawful content that was posted. The matter is going to end up being referred to Brad Patrick. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 03:01, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Welcome then!

Welcome to the project. Welcome officially I mean, because you were already active! I hope you enjoy yoursef contributing to the project. Cheers!--Yannismarou 17:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to the WikiProject Greece! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to Greece.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our sidebar points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The Announcements and Open tasks section is updated quite regularly. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPGreeceOpenTasks}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Interested in working on a more complete article? The peer review department of the project would welcome your help!
• Interested in a particular area of Greek history, geography, culture etc. ? There are already two task forces, and you could initiate the creation of more focusing on specific topics or periods.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every Greece related article in Misplaced Pages.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Strema / stremma

I notice you redirected 'strema' to 'stremma'. Could you let me know how one establishes so definitively the spelling? Is the spelling with a single 'm' in your view incorrect? TobyJ 16:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edits? It was all useless unencyclopedic trivia added on by random IP users. -- Scorpion 16:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Naming convention

Thankyou for confirming my suspicion at Misplaced Pages talk:Naming conventions (settlements)#Canada. --Scott Davis 13:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Hrant Dink news on Main Page

On Misplaced Pages's Main Page it is written that Dink was convicted for "writing an article on the Armenian Genocide." This is wrong. Hrant Dink was convicted for "insulting Turkishness" in article he wrote to address Armenians in diaspora to free them selves of the residues of the past. He wrote Armenians' blood was poisoned by Turks and for that his writing he was convicted because it was considred as insult to Turkishness. Details are in the article on Hrant Dink, may he rest in peace. Please can this be corrected? People on talk page of Hrant Dink have commentated on tis but know not how to correct. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the quick correction! Hevesli 08:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, what on earth did you do to my article The Proud Tower? Did you even read the book? I have! Plus, you might consider doing something about the last sentence, its gibberish. Bookishreader45 03:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reversing that dirty trick -how exactly did you "revert through protection"? That would be a good troll-busting technique I would like to learn. Tommypowell 15:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Don't you think it is best to air on the side of caution and policy and remove it while they discuss it? Cbrown1023 19:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I've talked with Danny, the wikimedia dude, and he said it would probably be better to remove it while they discuss it. Cbrown1023 19:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

SUBJECTING WIKIPEDIA TO SEXISM EXPOSURE-Shawn Hornbeck For the record I STRONGLY object to the removing of the date of birth which makes Misplaced Pages look farcial and discriminatory. I wonder why all the "weepers" don't censor the birthdates of Elizabeth Smart or Kara Borden? seems like blatant sex discrimination to many-http://groups.google.com/group/alt.feminism/browse_thread/thread/fd6dcba0cebff0f7/7557feba0ee65637?hl=en#7557feba0ee65637 I AM ISSUING AN APPEAL TO ANY ADMINISTATOR to reverse the improper "reverts under protection" made by cbrown 1023 to this article and to the Ben Ownby article; subjecting Misplaced Pages to potentially horrible sex discrimination exposure.

You beat me to the semi-protection - I was trying to make sense of the mass of edits and vandalism. It was almost impossible to find the original wikiarticle in the edit history! Well done. Regards, (aeropagitica) 00:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!!! Andman8 00:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Concerning this: the Greek names in places of modern Turkey are in polytonic, under the pretext that they are "ancient, historical names". I have no problem seeing the Greek name in polytonic, cause, simply, it is the same language. But, the Turkish names in Greek places should be in the arabic script, since this is the historical name. The name in the Latin-based modern Turkish alphabet was never used when these places were under Ottoman rule, nor any inhabitant of that place ever wrote the name in that alphabet. It is unhistorical the way it is now, and the real historical name should be provided. Hectorian 00:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Danville Community High School

Another editor removed the speedy tag that you added to Danville Community High School with the following comment:

decline speedy (whilst {{db-group}}/{{db-corp}} might be understood as applicable to edu institutions, a claim that a subject is a secondary school is, I regret to observe, an assertion of notability)

As well, when you tag an article for deletion, it is generaly a good idea to notify the article's creator in case the creator wishes to dispute the deletion or improve the article. --Eastmain 22:11, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

The email I got from the ethics guy sounds like they condone his behavior. So does Jimbo, apparently. So why should I care? User:Zoe|(talk) 07:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
