[edit] Bias
The article presents both a personal political bias and error in the following statement: "The symbol of the meander is considered to be a greek trademark, although it was altered and used by nationalists of Europe, degrading by this way its original meaning and value".
The meander, first of all, is only used by Greek nationalists -- and not, as the article alleges, by a number of various European nationalists. Secondly, aside from its use as an ornamental pattern in art and architecture, its only significance and value is as a symbol of Greek nationalism; there is no other "original meaning and value" outside of that. Finally, to state that its use by nationalists constitutes a degradation implies that nationalists and nationalism are debased which is clearly a personal socio-political bias of the author, not to mention quite offensive.

- As two months have passed and no action has been taken to remove the aforementioned bias to give the article a neutral point of view, I have taken it upon myself to make the relevant changes. Critias 04:01, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Graphics
The ASCII examples of meander shapes are broken in 800x600 resolution, in case it matters. --Kaffedrake 15:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
