I added the hoax warning. To explain... there are 0 results for this guys name on Google and I can verify none of the claims in the article. If no one can explain this within a few days I will nominate for deletion. --W.marsh 01:28, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] About Balanos from Corvin von Amber

Hello W.marsh I prepare an article on the work of balanos, in particular on his crawling shadow idea. I worked first on his bio that can be found at www.locus7.gr under the panel button Γιώργος Μπαλάνος. Google will probably write details under his Greek name in Greek. Though his work is almost unknown to the Western (Anglo-american ? ) world, he is probably of the magnitude of Erich von Daeniken due to his enormous research that I have not included yet. The article about the crawling shadow is currently under preparation.

Sincerelly Corvin von Amber —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CORVINVONAMBER (talk • contribs) .

Thanks for that note. I was thinking that could be the case... a guy largely unknown to the anglo world. I have removed the hoax notice. You might consider making links to Balanos Georgios from another article, so he is connected to other pages on the english Wikipedia, and also linking to his article in the greek Wikipedia, if there is one. Let me know if you need help with that. --W.marsh 18:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hoax?

Georgios Balanos owns a (small) publishing house in Greece, named locus7 (www.locus7.gr). I subscribed to his mailing lists some years ago, and 2 or three days after this article was posted, they sent me an email with a link leading to this page. I have already removed some (minor, but) really dogmatic parts of the article and I certainly know that this article is not really unbiased. It looks more as a promotion trick from Mr Balanos to me. In Greece Georgios Balanos is nothing more than one of the many writers that call themselves "paranormal researchers" and I will do anything possible to prove that this article does not belong to Wikipedia. Sorry for any bad use of english, I have not written english text for quite some time.
