[edit] Villehardouin

is the only one that's confusing AFAIK (Geoffrey the chronicler, his nephew Geoffrey I, and Geoffrey II). Sorry to step on your edit. Choess 21:31, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aristarchus

Oh, no problem.;-> There were only three of them, and all of them sufficiently serious to deserve an answer.

My position on the matter is not intransigent; if I were the only interested editor, what would happen is that Aristarchus would remain the dab page, because of the majority modern usage - but only until Aristarchus of Samothrace becomes a proper article, and the ones that should link to it are written. This will be a while, and I may have to do it myself.

"Correctness" is, according to policy, not the way to settle these questions. See Wikipedia:Use English and Wikipedia:Naming conventions for more; although several editors regularly ignore them. (You will find several other useful links on my user page; feel free to copy them - or not.) Septentrionalis 15:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bridge of Arta

Are you the same user as Χρήστης:FocalPoint on the el.wiki? If you are, can you upload the picture to Commons, so we can include it in the Bridge of Arta article? By the way, we need someone to translate the rest of the article. Thanks! СПУТНИКССС Р 01:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Σχετικά με το..., πρέπει να δεις αυτό και αυτό και να πράξεις αναλόγως. Thanks. --Enas Filos 21:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bourtzi

Excellent photo!! Do you have any others that could be used at Nafplio? Cheers! - Gobeirne 20:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Superb! Another great shot - Gobeirne 09:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] en:Perlite

Bonjour,

Ton bot de la wikipedia anglaise, pense que c'est necessaire de mettre un liens vers la wikipedia italienne au sujet en:Perlite. Pourtant, le liens it:Perlite n'existe pas. J'ai fair deja un "revert" mais ton bot insiste. Je te prie de prend la situation en charge. Merci pour ton action.--FocalPoint 3 juin 2006 à 15:20 (CEST)

Bonjour,

Désolé, le bot est un peu idiot :o) Je vais lui demander de faire attention.

[edit] and another Poll...

Hi. There's a debate about how much "X-ian" one must be in order to be considered "X-American" (or X-Yian for that matter) and be categorized as such. The poll is here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Rules for lists of X-Americans. Kindly weigh in! :NikoSilver: 21:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vectorized images

Due to a crash of my HD image epir1.cdr was lost. But I have three CDR images refered to Epir (1235-1251, 1252-1315 and 1315-1358). If you has interest in this images I can send you to your e-mail adress the original cdr files that you can edit freely. They are made in CORELL 11 version. Please contact me. 88.12.146.224 10:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

You can see the images in png at http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despotat_de_l'Epir. I believe that historical maps don't need translation because it can be easely understables for all the world. In catalan vikipedia we use sometimes historical maps on english, spanish, italian, french, etc..., only the cyrillic alphabets or others as grec, sinhala etc... offer dificulties. In fact I'm unable to made the maps on correct english because I'm only catalan speaking, and I know only french and spanish (I know only a few words of english, portuguese and italian). I made some historical maps in english (i.e. see urartu) but I'm afraid that they are plenty of mistakes (in language).

[edit] ==George Rallis==

Copied from Lincher's talk page.

I believe that you should have another look at your assessment of stub class for this article. My opinion is that a start class is more fair to its authors (I only put 4-6 letters, so I cannot be counted among them).--FocalPoint 15:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

The stub tag goes with the no sources added to the article which is a real problem on wikipedia. If references are added to go with the article or sources of the original material is given then start- or maybe B-class can be given. Lincher 15:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chronicle of Morea

I have Morea on my watchlist, and that led me to click on the Chronicle link, which I seemed to recall was a redirect to Morea. I briefly looked at it, but I'll see if I can add anything to it. Adam Bishop 21:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Help needed

OK, here's the story. The person you mention probably had a good SQL script that ceased to work because MediaWiki database schema was changed. Of course, I could take a look at the script, find out what's wrong, etc., but I'm only moderately familiar with the schema in question, and I don't have a toolserver account (which is - as I gather - necessary to run SQL scripts against the database). However, there is a simple(r) solution: I've taken a look around and found a page dedicated exactly to this: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_queries. If you take a look there, you'll find a request virtually identical to yours, and it seems that the SQL solution is here. So, there are already queries that do the job, you'll just have to inquire at the Requests for queries page and ask for somebody to run the script against the Greek wiki and copy the result to the location of your choosing. Hope this helps... GregorB 18:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, after the closure of Wikisign, I had problems with establishment of SQL scripts on my PC, so I haven't done any from that time on. Sorry. Regards, --Klemen Kocjancic 10:51, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article for deletion

Hi, have you any idea why this article [2] is not included in this list [3] for further dicussion? I fear that it is not visible to a wide audience there could be a biased verdict. Unfortunately I have not got the expertise to fix it; that is if there is something wrong. Thanks, Georgeg 17:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

and how do i get hold of the relevant administrator? Aftos o KRBN (A.K.A. Moutalos) mou tin exei pai3ei, mou exei salatosei 2-3 arthra sto parelthon.Georgeg 18:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your AfD recommendation. Unfortunately I do not know many of the intricacies of Greek football - being uninformed I decided it would be best if I decline to comment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Achaia Football Clubs Association, which in any case looks like it is going to be kept anyway. Qwghlm 22:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, don't worry about it. I think it was fine that you alerted me to the other AfD, no need to apologise at all! Qwghlm 15:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
