Thanks for the welcome! Actually I've been contributing for a long time now (2-3 years) but didn't care to have an account. I want to become more active now. --Kensai 09:08, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] EU Turkey flag

Hi. You uploaded Image:EU Turkey emblem.gif but I haven't been able to find where you got this from. Could you please provide a source for it? Thanks. --G Rutter 14:09, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Ehm, actually I made it myself. I thought it might be interesting to design the European emblem with red color, a crescent, and the initials "EÜ" in Turkish (which mean EU of course). I thought it blended very well to the third section of the article, which was dealing with the debate on the matter. Will you consider changing it back to the previous? --Kensai 15:40, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! I also tend to respond on both talk pages, as it's quicker and people can keep track of what's going on. I'm afraid that this probably comes under Wikipedia:No original research. The reason I found out that this image existed was becuase it was on the Main Page, presumably because someone thought it was an official emblem. I can understand what you mean on the page, but again, people might well think that it's the official or proposed flag. I'm afraid that we're really meant to report what's already out there, rather than create something that illustrates our point (no matter how well it does it). Therefore, I think that the image really should be deleted. I'm sorry about this, as it must have taken you a while, but it's just one of those things I'm afraid... --G Rutter 16:05, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Understood! Since this is a real article about real events/issues I agree. I never thought of the implications that my action might have had, especially the 'proposed flag' misunderstanding which could have been serious. Perhaps in a future trivial article debating about flag and vexillology matters this image finds its way. Thanks for clearing this up! --Kensai 17:08, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

No problem - thank you! Keep up the good work! --G Rutter 17:19, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, Plebiscite Year

Thanks for your interest in this article and for checking over the info presented! Regarding the plebiscite year; my understanding is that there was one in July 1973 held by the Colonels' junta, and then another in Dec 1974 held by Karamanlis' government. Both were on the question of abolishing the monarchy in favor of a republic. Both are referred to in the Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece article, although for Dec 1974, the word referendum is used instead of plebiscite. (This is why I find it confusing to set a date for exactly when the monarchy was abolished and the republic began - 1973 or 1974?). So, I'd like to change the initial plebiscite date in the Pavlos article back to 1973 - but thought I'd run it by you first. Thanks, and glad someone has been looking over the recent additions to the article! LiniShu 19:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
