I don't know the term "troll", except if you refer to the mythical creatures.

That's not your business. Also you may have to respect others and not insult them, if you don't know them. Writing an article in Wikipedia is entirely different by answering to someones opinion quickly. So, please...
No, it is my business. You're making Greeks that DO speak proper english look bad. And you are bringing down the quality of language in the english wikipedia. that's why all the wikipedias in different languages where created: So people that do not have a strong command of the english language write in their own native language. So, please, use the Greek wikipedia.

[snip]

Ok. I challenge you. Find in the mainstream greek public press interviews with representatives from other parties than the first 4-5 in national elections. Until then keep for your self democracy lessons.
Yes, you are correct about that. During election time, the Greek media do not provide air time for any other parties, other that the big 4. And i hate that. But that doesn' prove there's a conspiracy against Mr. Leventis. Why doesn't Golden Dawn (Χρυσή Αυγή), the Nazi party of Greece, get airtime during election time, either? Or the Ecology party? or The White Vote Party? Because they represent very very very (and in the case of Golden Dawn, i hope, nil) small minorities of the Greek vote, which translates to NO ADVERTISING MONEY during election time. What i'm saying is that there's a ban of small parties across the board from aquiring airtime. Nothing for Mr. Leventis personal, I guess. (Though, I've head that he's quite annoying when asking for money (τρακαδόρος) from industry owners... The report explicitly said that "When Mr. Leventis comes around asking for money, I tell my secretary to tell him I'm away on a business trip)

[snip]

Hmmm. Where excactly in my article I wrote something FOR Leventis? Mr. Etz Haim wrote:
Some of his points are simply ridiculus, like "Leventis' typewriter"...
Yes. Mr. Leventis used a typerwriter during the Junta and typed messages of freedom distributing them all over Athens. That's a fact.
Here's another example of your bad command of the english language. writing something for someone implies that you have been paid to do so.
So he TYPED ARTICLES AND MANIFESTOS (messages of freedom, my A$$ greeklish) which he distributed around athens. Partically, every university student of Mr. Leventis time, did so, too. There was a pirate radio station inside Athens Technical University, too. Does that prove Mr. Leventis was a freedom fighter?

"His influence on the Greek society is merely negligible (0,56% of the greek vote countrywide, see the last election results from an official source (http://ekloges.ypes.gr/en/)).

If Mr. Etz Haim wanted to write an article ABOUT Mr. Leventis why he didn't write all elections history of Enosi Kentroon but only the result of the last one? Mr. Leventis 1992 was elected second in the Second Electoral District of Athens after PASOK's candidate mr Mangakis and he received 100.000 and more votes (30%, of the District's population - which is the bigger in Greece). Also, Enosi Kentroon, is the only "small" greek party that its members run offices for it in USA and Germany (not so small now, huh?). A US Senator, mr Feingold and the famous by civil rights campaigns, Jesse Jackson are positive to Enosi Kentroon and Vassilis Leventis struggle for democracy. (so, this party is getting bigger...) You may say WHY I say now all these and I didn't add them in the article first time? Ok. I had not the time to do it. There is any proof for all these? Yes there is. Call mr Feingold and mr Jackson if you have doubts. So. Now, if I even admit that wrote an article FOR mr Leventis, mr Etz Haim wrote an article AGAINST mr Leventis. Why you don't say anything for that?
I call you Mr Feingold and Mr Jackson, because I have doupts. Post a link from a respected, independant news source and I will insert that into the main article myself.
Second, that was in 1992 and I think that was the highest Mr. Leventis ever received. He has never, ever come close to that percentage, ever again.
Third, your members MAINTAIN party offices, in the US and Germany. Good for you. So? Vote percentage says that only 0.5% of the Greek population cares your party exist. That's not a whole lot. it's actually 1/200th of the Greek Population. So, basically, your voters account for a city like Patra, dispersed all over Greece. Nope. Not cutting it.
Fouth, So you asked a US senator and whoopedy-do Jesse Jackson on their opinion about your party. a) Post a link that proves they even said that.
Fifth, no, Etz didn't write an article against Mr Leventis. He wrote a balanced article. He states just the facts. Now, if the facts do not make Mr. Leventis look good, that's a whole other point...
The article also propagates Leventis' POV that there is a conspiracy by the greek media against him, and these allegations are far from being proved. Etz Haim 05:14, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

You are displaying signs of Trolling, a troll with a political agenda. I wouldn't have responded to you inside Etz's talk page, normaly, because ITS BAD PRACTICE TO DO SO, but you went and screwed with my happy birthday wish.

Sorry for screwing your happy birthday wish.

So, this is a warning.

Huh?
Warning, as in if you keep this up, you'll get reported to the wikipedia administration.

Please note, i'm not putting you down, I'm just asking you to come around with facts.

he proclaims he's had enough, but he goes ahead and change the article. In your case, the headshot of Leventis

[edit] Image:Gyros.jpg

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for uploading Image:Gyros.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 16:20, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Elena1.jpg

  • For this image, did you take it? Or do you have an email/document from the photographer saying that they release it under the GFDL? If you don't it is not. However, we can keep it under fairuse, just tag with {{fairuse}}. Cheers. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 08:36, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Hi Quantis. You need to provide more information for the images you've uploaded. For example, where did you get Image:Corfu sat.jpg, and who was the photographer of Image:Gyros.jpg (and where did you get it if it wasn't you). Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 16:33, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Poll

There is a poll in the talk page of the Macedonian Slavs article here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macedonian_Slavs#The_poll

Some people are lobbying for changing the article's name to Macedonian without any qualifier. As it seems, a number of these people come from the Macedonian/Macedonian Slav wikipedia project. It seemed only fair to attract the attention of people possibly from the other side of the story .I hope that this message is of interest to you, if not please accept my apologies.
