[edit] Comments

I think this article should be moved to Armatole. We should use the English names for articles (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English)) and it is more in line with Klepht (and not Kleftes). What does everyone else think? Latinus 18:27, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of this article

Note to later editors: This article has a somewhat complicated page history. There were originally two separate articles, at Armatoles and at Armatoloi. The first was written mainly by User:Dragases ([1]), the second mainly by User:Deucalionite ([2]), both starting from January 2006. After some rather chaotic merging and cut-and-paste moving in June 2006, the histories of both articles were merged and the whole thing moved to Armatoloi. The current text as of 25 June ([3]) is basically that from the old Armatoles page of User:Dragases. The last version of the original Armatoloi page is here: [4].

IMO, this version is more complete. I had no idea that it was you, User:Future Perfect at Sunrise, that changed it to that grotesque form under "Armatoles". I'm quite new to WP. — Sshadow 13:33, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

It wasn't me. I just noticed that there were those two competing articles under the two different titles. Neither of them was written by me. The original "Armatoles" one is better as a basis for further work, IMO, because it is sourced, and it doesn't focus on that rather speculative "original research" argumentation about the continuity between Armatoloi and earlier akrites etc. But feel free to merge whatever elements can be verified from the original "Armatoloi" article into the other one As for the title, "Armatoles" is a common anglicised form and would have been okay as such, but it's not a big deal. BTW, I'd appreciate it if you didn't wildly apply terms such as "grotesque" or "vandalims" to my work, unless you have some strong basis for an argument. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I kept the title "Armatoles" when I wrote the article because I encountered it repeatedly in most of the English-language sources on the subject, and figured it'd be more acceptable to the WP community. In hindsight, I should have created the article under the current popular Greek form... Anyway, good work, Fut.Perf.. Dragases 10:36, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
