I'm very very proud because
Pericles
, the first article I rewrote, is now a FA!!!
Is this the portrait of yours,
Δομήνικε ? Is this the portrait of the greatest painter of all times? If yes, I feel like
Odysseas Elytis: "lifted on the two enormous wings of Doménicos up to his skies".
I didn't want to be called a sexist. Therefore,
Aspasia, Pericles companion, is also a FA now.
I admit it now; I am an admiror of him. Maybe because he is everything I'm not. I owed him a star. The article about
Alcibiades, Pericles' ptotégé, is now FA.
I pay my respects to you, the greatest orators of all ages.
Demosthenes, son of Demosthenes, this star
is for you.
[edit] My Wikipedia contributions
I decided it's high time I noticed some of my contributions, intending to proliferate them!
The edits were first edited by me. Substantial rewrites by other contributors in these edits are noted.
The rewrites were edited by other contributors, but I have substantially modified their content, mostly by adding supplementary material.
Featured contributions
I have substantially written (until now!) four featured articles. Additionally, I have achieved to bring a fifth article up to FA status, when its old star was endangered:
-
- Pericles
- Featured in August 2006. "Today's featured article" in September 2006. Rewritten by me in collaboration with Konstable, Robth and Druworos. Very valuable were also the contibutions of Septentrionalis and Wandalstouring.
-
- Aspasia
- Featured in September 2006. "Today's featured article" in February 2007. Bcasterline reviewed the article and helped with the prose.
-
- Alcibiades
- Featured in October 2006. "Today's featured article" in January 2007. Dmcheatw offered the first extensive rewriting to this article. I then got it and was helped (once again!) by Robth. I must also point out the useful suggestions of Njál.
-
- Demosthenes
- Featured in October 2006. "Today's featured article" in December 2006. Entirely rewritten by me. Peirigill, Robth (yes, once again!) and Chaleyer61 were eager to copy-edit the text.

- Featured status confirmed in November 2006. Rewritten by me and copy-edited by Ganymead.
-
