Hey, what the...?

OK, what's with the fake "You have new messages" banner on your userpage? You had me fooled! Do you want me to get you blocked for disruption of the project by causing a 16-year-old to have a heart attack? ;) --D-Day ^{Somebody talk to me. Please somebody! Anybody!} 17:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Tassos Papadopoulos.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Tassos Papadopoulos.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. SteinbDJ 19:12, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Spyros Kyprianou

Hi UNFanatic.

I've made a few updates to the infobox about Spyros Kyprianou. However, I can't find a good source for his exact term of office. Archbishop Makarios died on 3 August 1977, and I've found a reference that Kyprianou was elected on 10 September [1]. Kyrianous' infobox says 3 September 1977. Do you know if he simply assumed office upon Makarios death or did he have to wait to assume office? The same source states that George Vassiliou became president on 14 February 1988, so I presume Kyprianou's term of office ended the same day?

BTW, PIO has images of the missing Cypriot presidents [2]. Best regards --Valentinian 11:01, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

impulse control 'Cyprus' and 'Macedonia'

I would tentatively argue that it seems unfair that we should identify 'Cyprus' with the southern 'Republic of Cyprus' and leave out the unrecognised TRNC. Just as it is wrong to encourage people identifying 'Macedonia' with the fy Republic of Macedonia and leave out the historical Greek province of Macedonia. What does it mean to be a Cypriot or a Macedonian? It used to mean to be Greek, but the world has moved on. It seems to me that some Cypriots want to present themselves as nothing bu Cypriot or Greek or British or Greek Cypriot according to what benefits them most and they might end up in nowhereland (this is obviously no reference to you UNFanatic, whom I don't know).Politis 17:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The enclaves

Hello and Kalimera! Please see Talk:Turkish Cypriot Enclaves. --Michalis Famelis 12:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello again and sorry for taking so long to respond (exams exams exams). I can't say I understand what you mean in your reply... There have been no revert wars in the article so far and there is no POV tag anywhere. And in no way did I try to make you revert your edits, the contrary. The only thing I tried to do was to contructively criticize them, make a few suggestions and the like. I would go ahead and bring your edits back and try to improve them if I didn'thave an exam on Databases the day after tomorrow! (damn' those Boyce-Codd Normal Forms!) I hope I have not offended you in any way. --Michalis Famelis 23:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Happy for you

Thanks for your message. I understand and respect how you feel about Greece. But as far as I am concerned, Greeks paied a heavy price against the junta and other oppressors; they do not need the (southern) Republic of Cyprus - one of the richest countries in the world - milking them financially and abusinig them emotionally. Also, I hope you are active in making sure that the Cypriots of the ROC stop abusing Greek diplomatic support. Also, please make sure that the Cyprus issue stops dominating Greek diaspora organisations and Greek lobbies, it simply uses up their valuable time and they could concentrating on important Hellenic issues. If you are a Greek Cypriot and are angry against the Greeks, make your voice heard, LOUD and CLEAR; this is the only way to make the two countries come to their senses. Politis 20:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

It is obvious that we both dislike "right wing monarchists and coupists". I just feel that the ROC establishment (the koumbarokratia) is abusing Greece, it is abusing the Greek lobbies and it is abusing the fears of ordinary Greek Cypriots. I might be wrong, but that is how I see things right now. I feel that the koumbarokratia is using, for its own benefit, the presence of Turkish occupation troops in the north. Today we can argue that the troops benefit them almost as much as they benefit the Ankara military establishment. I am sure you have nothing against Greeks (you are presumably a member of the Hellenic world) and I have many Greek Cypriot friends, but you are probably angry at people who, in your opinion, lack understanding of the situation in Cyprus. I will think about how to express any future observations on Cyprus without upsetting anyone.Politis 21:01, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi there!

Hi, dear UNF! Please, allow me to send you a very belated "thank you!" for your lovely words regarding... well, regarding me :) I just came back to WP after some days of forced inactivity, so I hope you'll forgive me for not replying faster. Your kind words made me smile, and you really helped me self esteem as well! ;) I'll try and help you with your userpage as soon as I can, count on it. I see that you are yourself amidst a wikibreak yourself, so please msg me when you return to let me know you're doing OK, and we'l talk more.

Hey UNFanatic,

If we have the Greek name on Kırklareli, Mersin, Samsun, Amasya, and Sakarya, we have to have the Turkish name on Chios. This is just to be fair. I hope you understand. --Khoikhoi 04:45, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Cyprus

I think that the article about TRNC is quite balanced,although we could mention the UN Resolution 550 in the history section.it is already stated in the the beginning of the article that it is about and internationally unrecognised breakaway state created after a turkish invasion.i think,it would be better not to fill the first paragraph with the UN resolutions(which ,btw, are many!).It would be important additional information if these things were added as No5 in history section.Kai kati allo,mias kai milas ellinika...sto user page sou eida kati pragmata pou tha mporousan na ekliftoun enantion tis Elladas,kanw lathos?--Hectorian 13:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Gr-Tr board

Hello! Are you still interested in the Greek and Turkish wikipedians board of cooperation? I think we have mustered enough people to get this started, but since it's been quite some time, it would be nice to have a confirmation by the people who have shown interest, before going official.

June Meetup in New York

Hi, I noticed you are characterized as a New Yorker or someone living in New York City so perhaps you might be in the NYC area in June.

Wikiproject Cyprus

What will be my responsibilities if I will be a member of such a project? About categorizing, I spent a month and I have categorized everything related with Cyprus. I don't suppose it needs further categorizations. --KRBN 23:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I have included everything related with Cyprus into Category:Cyprus --KRBN 00:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. If you want to create such a project it should be at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cyprus, i.e. in the Wikipedia name space. I deleted [Wikiproject: Cyprus]. Good luck! Punkmorten 22:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

First of all, the Cypriots who have emigrated to other cities, will not be included directly to category:Cypriot people but to the Category:People of Cypriot descent. That happens to all the people who have emigrated. For example, Tracey Emin will belong to British people of Cypriot descent. Really the Category:People of Cypriot descent and its subcategories, is the only one that needs expansion (the others include ALL the articles related to Cyprus). Few months ago, I did a big effort by creating it and populating it. However, unfortunatelly one idiot put the category:British people of Cypriot descent- which was including more than 45 articles- under deletion, despite that there were similar categories relating to American, Australians, etc.. Recently it has been recreated again but it has only 9 articles and needs big expansion.

There is an article of Greek Cypriot diaspora and Turkish Cypriot as well. There is article also for List of cities, towns and villages in Cyprus, so rename what you wrote on Cyprus Tasks, List of Cities in Cyprus. Also, in my opinion, the articles Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots and List of Cypriots must be included on the WikiProject Cyprus tasks. The same about articles related to Sport in Cyprus.

You have included an article 3 times; List of Cypriot Archbishops, List of Archbishops of Cyprus, Archbishop of Cyprus.

Check the category:Cyprus and its sub-category, you can find almost all the articles.

Good Luck and I can help you in anything you want. --KRBN 10:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application

Dear UNFanatic,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - Glen 08:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Dear UNFanatic

Dear UNFanatic, it'll be a pleasure to help you with your request, and I'll take the opportunity to congratulate you on your great new initiative. You can rest assured I'll try my best to help you with it, although I'd like to know if you merely want me to enhance the visual appearance of the Project's page, or you're also in need of a general build up; i.e. templates, nav bar and such. I can of course also lend a hand with these, if needed, tho I'll need additional info in that case. For the moment I'll focus on the Project's main page layout and design, if that's ok with you - just give me a day or two, please, k, hun? I'll get back to you asap :) Hugs, Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 20:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the response on the Kyrenia article. Please though remember to assume good faith. I was not attacking and I didn't really expect a response that demanded to know who I work for. That's irrelevent. If it's best left alone then ok.Mallanox 09:27, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Greek and Turkish wikipedians board of cooperation proposal removed

Hello, I'm contacting you to let you know that I have withdrown the proposal for wikiproject Greek and Turkish wikipedians board of cooperation as so much time has passed in inaction, I am no longer interested in it and I don't have any time to spare for it. I regret to take this step unilateraly as there are some 16 people who had showed interest, but the whole thing has been inactive for too long in my opinion. Thanks for showing your initial interest anyway!! Keep up the good wiki-work! --Michalis Famelis (talk) 18:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Cyprus

Does the phrase "Get a Life" mean anything to you? I can just picture you in EOKA-B bayoneting Turkish Cypriot civilians... User:Expatkiwi

You started this fight by attacking my credibility, thank you very much! As a vexillologist, I do happen to know - and is mentioned in various flag books - that the Cypriot National Flag is not as widely used as the Greek flag in the southern part of the Island by the general public. That, plus the fact that the National Anthem of Cyprus is exactly the same as the Greek National Anthem (word for word), it only confirms that Greek Cypriots do not have a Cypriot national identity. And yes, I know that the Cypriot National Flag is illegal in the north, the National Anthem of TRNC is the Turkish Anthem, but the fact remains that there are no 'Cypriots' on Cyprus in the true sense of the word: only Greeks, Turks, Marionites, and Armenians who happen to have been born there. I have no regrets about my supporting the Turkish Cypriots as they now are safe from the Greek-inspired terror of 1963 - 1974. Whether you like it or not, there are two nations on the island. TRNC exists, and to deny what exists is insanity. User:Expatkiwi

You chose your user name well: UNFANATIC (which is an acronym for Uncompromising Nihlist Fervently Advocating Nuking All Turks In Cyprus). I know quite a few people from Cyprus and they have told me that Cypriotness comes second in their minds. If there was a Cypriot identity, there would have been no intercommunal violence, no advocacy for eith Enosis or Taksim, support of the Annan Plan, and certainly a national anthem that is Cypriot, not Greek! When you can give me proper examples of a purely Cypriot identity in Cyrus, then I will isten, but until then, LONG LIVE TRNC - A BASTION OF FREEDOM FOR TURKISH CYPRIOTS. User:Expatkiwi

P.S., Greeks are regarded as the biggest group of racists in the EU.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Countries WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of counties.

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

• Starting some new articles? See some model pages such as Cambodia!
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every country article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! User:Shy1520 21:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Ha!

diff Makes me wonder how come I hadn't wikistalked you before, you Brooklyn 'borrower' of styles for the userpage! Nice to see some Greek-Americans like you around! Message me for anything and feel free to 'borrow' anything (but don't take that scuba photo)! •NikoSilver• 08:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Ummm, as much as I'd want Cyprus featured, there are a few complications I am sure you're not familiar with: First off, FAC is not a poll! You don't get to feature an article unless everybody agrees. Second, the article is indeed far behind in citations and other FA criteria. Third, we can't 'spread the word' coz we'll be violating WP:SPAM and we'll be banned! Finally, I strongly feel there should be some sort of arrangement illustrating clearly the illegality of TRNC, as a de facto entity. Currently this is a separate article that seems to stand on its own. I was wondering if we could place a navigation bar on the side in Cyprus for all sub-articles (including TRNC), that would clearly show it as part of this de jure nation. See for a relevant discussion that involves all disputed regions here. •NikoSilver• 10:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Stop re-adding this image. It is clearly polemic as well as unused in any article. The Wikipedia is not a soapbox. -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 23:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Since you don't appear to have been warned about this before, I will give you one warning now. Do not upload that image again, under any name. Uploading images solely to disparage their subject is unacceptable, regardless of what the subject is, since it creates an uncivil environment and damages the wellbeing of the community. Creating userboxes with this purpose in mind is also unacceptable: userboxes that are divisive and inflammatory can be removed on sight.

As I said, you don't appear to have been warned about this image before so I will only warn you now. If you upload the image again, you will be blocked in order to prevent you from continuing to upload it. --bainer (talk) 23:52, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Georgios Grivas

What's with this edit, you clearly reverted to an old version without mentioning it in the summary. I find no evidence on the internet to assert he was a Kentucky colonel, at the very least this needs to be mentioned and referenced in the article text, also you removed a valid interwiki link. Please explain edits like this in the edit summary, on the talk page, or with references. Martin 16:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
