[edit] National Mysticism

The reason I considered it POV was that it was just Albanians, and there were many examples on just Albanians. The examples were also not well explained. If you included some other nationalities, and you didn't include so many examples just on Albanians, then they wouldn't be singled out, and it wouldn't be considered POV. Dori | Talk 12:27, May 10, 2004 (UTC)

As I said, it's not just the statements about the Albanians that I am worried about. Even though you are Greek, it doesn't mean that the Greek statements you put in should be demeaning or condescending in any way. As long as the article has a neutral and encyclopedic tone, I am OK with including info on Albanians. The other problem is verifiability. One has to be careful not to include statements that are not widely accepted (i.e. hearsay). Dori | Talk 15:35, May 10, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Literature Collaboration of the Week

Patrida, I'm rallying up support for Alexandros Papadiamantis in Wikipedia:Literature Collaboration of the Week. So, go vote! :D

[edit] Wikipedians in Greece

Hi, I understand that you are either Greek Wikipedian or a Wikipedian living in/with an interest in Greece.

The category page Wikipedians/Greece has been replaced with Category:Wikipedians in Greece but your name still appears on the old list. You might considering moving it. You might also consider adding adding Template:Greekwiki to your user page.

A Wikipedia:Greek Wikipedians' notice board has been in existence for some time but is terribly underutilised. It would certainly benefit from your involvement.--Damac 12:15, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Aegean crisis" article

Hi, I think you were one of the contributors to Aegean crisis, right? If you're interested, please see my note on the talk page there. Thanks. Lukas 13:37, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mock/sock-puppets

Evcharisto, re pedi. I can't help thinking, though that there's something sad about a person whose idea of fun is pretending to be more than one person and disagreeing with himself... --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 18:00, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for help with Greek politics

Hi. I'm hoping you can help me find a en.wikipedia.org editor who knows something about contemporary Greek politics, mainly whether Wikipedia should list Kyriakos Velopoulos as a White Supremacist. Following some changes by anonymous editors, we now list Mr Velopoulos, Nikolaos Michaloliakos and Kostas Plevris as Contemporary White Supremacists but the term "White Supremacist" has a narrow (and somewhat America-centric) definition which I suspect few if any Greeks would fit into.

(I picked you at random from Category:Wikipedians_in_Greece. I hope you don't mind.)

Cheers, CWC(talk) 15:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, no problem about picking me up, on the opposite, you may have done the right choice :-). Now...about Mr. Velopoulos: I have had the "luck" of watching several of his long rants at TeleAsty, either supporting some dubious "Greek superiority" theories, or promoting books and magazines (the TV screenshot on the wikipedia article bears the "ΕΛΛΗΝΟΡΑΜΑ" logo, a well-known Greek mystical-nationalist magazine (not only a TV show). About your question: I think the best term to describe Mr. Velopoulos and other similar individuals, is either plain "nationalist" or at most "national-mysticist" or "epsilonist". Some dose of anti-Semitism is perhaps present in the latter two properties, but never have I heard or read anything that could place Mr. Velopoulos into the "White Supremacist" category. As you said, this last term has a much narrower sense and Mr. Velopoulos (currently) doesn't fit in. He may be a nationalist, surely, and even have connections with epsilonism (or historical delusionism, as some people place it), but he surely has little or nothing to do with "White Power"-like organizations.

[edit] C64 Colour Clash

FYI, the C64 did suffer from colour clash. However, hardware sprites were not affected by it, and most C64 users seem to be unaware of the limitation. --StuartBrady (Talk) 22:17, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KZ manager

This article has been semiprotected per your request. It would be nice if you could provide references for it. I have made a note on the article's talk page. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 12:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

With a little googling, I found some -I hope- less controversial references, which still describe the gameplay precisely enough, and document the game's existence. This even led to the "discovery" of an Amiga version of the game. Well, not it's time for a video-games tag and maybe image, I guess. EpiVictor 13:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of computer and video games considered the worst ever

Hello EpiVictor,

I am writing you because you are one of the Wikipedians who have editted the List of computer and video games considered the worst ever. However, the way it is being done now, I believe doesn't work. I would like to invite you to take 2 minutes of your time and leave your thoughts on the talk page.

best regards,

[edit] Vandalism

I recieved this message from you.

"I remind you that repeated unconstructive edits (such as removing the SomethingAwful link from Thundra without discussion or providing a reason) might be considered vandalism. You may -cleverly- try to "distribute" the "workload" between this account and your several sockpuppet IP's so they never get blocked at the same time or "water down" punishments, but how longer do you expect to last doing that? EpiVictor 09:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)"

The accusation completely confuses me, because I have never once edited aything on Wikipedia. I simply enjoy reading the articles. Although, I believe i can offer an explanation - which is - I am using a dialup internet service, which recycles IP adresses, so some person with the same ISP must have made the edit on that particular IP adress before I got it.

I erased my cache on my internet browser and made sure wikipedia refreshed from scratch. So, hopefully the problem will not show up again.

This is my first time ever writing anything on this website, so if I have done anything completely wrong feel free to fix it or just delete it. Thanks.

That message was targetted to a person vandalising the Thundra article, and the IP tracking I did revealed it was a dial-up dynamic IP from Syracuse, NY, USA, so it could very well be that you live there or use the same service as this guy and you happened to use the same IP once or more. That's the problem with anonymous edits, in general, you never know if the intended person will read the message or if unrelated persons will perhaps be offended.

[edit] Compact Cassette article

Hi I’m very embarrassed; I was trying to add a paragraph without deleting anything and I don’t know how I managed to knock those sections out. I think I’ve repaired them now. Many apologies Zagubov 21:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:LIDL Energy Drink.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:LIDL Energy Drink.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. —Nv8200p talk 02:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:MelGibsonSafari.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:MelGibsonSafari.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 22:19, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that belonged to the Mel Gibson's Safari article, which was deleted twice as non-notable, so the image can go too. EpiVictor 10:48, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CD-MO references

Good catch. All existing MO implementations use spiral tracks, so CD-MO should be no exception (but I couldn't find any sources to back that up). I might be confusing it with the PD format at the time.

I also tried looking up more info about the format on the Net, but most occurrences are just passing references (not surprising considering it probably never existed beyond the initial specification). Even Philips themselves indicated that Orange Book Part 1 had been withdrawn [1], thus probably not available from them anymore. As for its commercial availability, I was able to find sources [2][3] claiming the format was not commodified. —Broccoli 05:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Anti-Hellenism

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Anti-Hellenism, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
