[edit] Comments

Just to clarify, this text was written by the original poster. It seems that he is knowingly releasing it under the GNU-FDL, but explicit confirmation would be great. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 00:47, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)

I've wikified the page and rewritten it in slightly better English. However, it is still seriously POV, especially towards the end. It's also largely about Greek politics and not about the Gendarmerie per se, so a lot probably needs to be moved elsewhere. Since Balkan history isn't my speciality, if anyone feels qualified to do this then feel free. Cheers. -- Necrothesp 18:55, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I agree - we are told a great deal about the evils of the Bulgarians and virtually nothing about the history of the Cretan Gendarmerie after 1916. When was this force disolved and why?--Buistr 10:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Definitely agree with the above suggestions. I would further suggest more organized referencing and the names of Authors to accompany the titles of their respective books. This article is way to PoV and there is far too much Bulgarian bashing. Being Cretan myself, I think this page would be a lot more respectable if the suggestions mentioned are followed. --Xenophonos 06:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
