Created the article, with some basic information, also added three basic redirects. It would be nice to have some additional info about the guy, maybe relating to his personal life, but I lack the sources. Also, an image would be nice. There are plenty to be found, and I'm sure most of them are in the public domain, but I lack the confidence to do it myself. So... feel free to help :) Druworos 19:10, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article Review

This article is under review for Good Article status. Unfortunatly, it does not yet meet the criteria. However, it is not a million miles away, so I have put it on a 7 day hold rather than failed it outright. If after 7 days the following changes have not been made, it may fail.

Anyone interested in getting this article to GA status should check out the good article criteria and try to ensure that this conforms.

Well written: The article is at times clunky and badly written. "Ioannis Triantafyllou, as was his proper name, better known as Ioannis Makrygiannis..." - this is not English syntax, the order of this sentence in Early Life needs to be changed around. "he probably joined the Filiki Etaireia in 1820. - explain jargon briefly rather than just wikilinking to it. All that is needed is something like "he probably joined Filiki Etaireia, the anti-Ottoman secret society, in 1820". "informing local members of the Filiki Etaireia of the state of Roumeli." - informing them of what?

Factually accurate and verifiable: More references are needed, even if you end up with Memoirs referenced 100 times - that's better than making unsupported assertions.

Broad in its coverage: Passed

Has Neutral Point of View: In the head section: "This work [Memoirs] is an invaluable source of historical, linguistic and cultural knowledge about the period" This is not neutral. Don't call it invaluable. In fact, just delete that passage and go straight to the Nobel laureate calling it great.

Stable: Passed

Pictures: Passed

So, sort those things out. Those examples are not the only ones, they are just examples. You need to go through this article paying particular attention to how well it is written, verifiablity and NPOV. It shouldn't take more than 7 days. Thanks for all your good work so far, and keep it up! Chrisfow 23:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
