[edit] Pericles

When I submitted this article for FAT, some objections had to do with the last paragraph, which was regardes as POV (!). Another objection had to do with the prose. Since I am not a native English speaker I cannot do much more about that. But I agree that what this article needs the more is a thorough copy-edit, so that the prose gets better.--Yannismarou 13:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, I understand your POV, but I still cannot understand the exact notion of POV for a person who lived 2500 years ago! Anyway ... You're referring to the remarks of Robth. I think I can find information about the decrees he mentions, but I'm not sure I agree with him that "the article may be assigning Pericles too large of a role in the political arena during the years of Ephialtes' dominance". I am not also sure that "a more thorough treatment of the events of the "First Peloponnesian War" is necessary. All the events of this war connected with Pericles are extensively covered in the article. About the congress decree, the coinage decree, and the megarian decree I can find information, but that needs time I donot afford at least for this week. But these things remain a priority of mine. Anyway ... Thanks for your contributions to the article. And I hope your nomination prevails!--Yannismarou 13:23, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, man! You contributed not a bit but a lot with your initiatives and your edits.--Yannismarou 07:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

You'll be happy to see that Pericles finally became GA. I believe that FA is not far away.--Yannismarou 07:43, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Druworos, Robth and Konstable, who are native English speakers, have repeatedly copy-edited Pericles after your and my contributions. Robth just went through one more copy-edit and Konstable has also done 2-3 copy-edits. If you go through the article, you'll see there are no language issues any more. You might like to mention that in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Pericles. Thanks!--Yannismarou 06:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We got the star!

I thought you'd be very proud to learn that Pericles is now a FA. I think this is a great moment for all the editors of the article. Thank you very much for your contributions, your collaboration and your support.--Yannismarou 18:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

So, you're also Greek! Happy to notice that! Join the club! We are not so many around here! And definitely very few of us are interested in ancient Greece (you, me, Hectorian, Nicosilver, Myskin and that's it I think!).--Yannismarou 18:57, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Greece

Hi!

I wanted just to inform you (I should have done it earlier!) about the History of Greece Wikiproject, which is on its way for about two months! You are of course invited to participate. You can see the main page, our main plans, you can go through its sections (peer-review, new articles, assessment etc.) and see if you are interested in contributing. Some of these sections are not fully working (we are new here and we need as more support as possible!).--Yannismarou 19:12, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
