[edit] "Agrafa" name: Byzantine or Ottoman?

I seem to remember that the "unwritten" status of Agrafa goes back not just to the Ottoman but even to the Byzantine period. Anybody got a reference? Lukas 07:49, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kryfo scholio myth?

Another thing: I notice that the article currently reproduces the old myth of the "κρυφό σχολειό" (about the Turkish authorities forbidding the teaching of Greek, and Greek schools being conducted in secret.) As far as I know, this is a historical myth, and the claim that "it is here that the Greek language was kept alive" is extremely overstated. I might remove those passages at some time unless we have reliable sources. Lukas 07:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Note: I've now created an article on Krifo scholio; any discussion had probably best take place there. Lukas 09:46, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of an unauthorized photo

[[Image:Agrafa_District_Chaliki_Aspropotamos.jpg|thumb|450px|The Breathtakingly colossal Mountains of the Agrafa District.Greece.] This photo has been removed the reason being that it is under copyright rights and has been republished without authorization. Moreover, it does not come from Agrafa district but from Aspropotamos region in Southern Pindos Mountain Range]

[edit] Municipality or Region

I noticed that someone incorporated details of the town of Agrafa (and its municipality in Eurytania) in this article. I believe another article should be created for the municipality, while this one is kept for the region. Dragases 11:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
