  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page.

Hi, please do not remove Greek companies from the Greek companies list simply because they do not have an internet address. Having an internet address is not the prerequisite for being on that list - that list is for companies wholly or partially owned by Greeks. Removing companies is unfair both to those who founded and currently operate the companies and to those Greeks who work hard day in day out in those companies. Thanks

Hi, i think that you have to accept that avra mineral water or other water products from various parts of Greece and Cyprus do not constitute a company; they are just products and they do not belong to the list. If you kindly have a look to similar lists of companies from other countries you will be suprised to find out that most companies have their own wiki page not just an internet site. There are more than 60,000 companies currently in Greece. Where do we draw a line? All the Greeks work equally hard and they have the right to be represented. But we have to be realistic. If we continue to just add companies without any limitation very soon the list will be truncated or worse the page will be inactivated. I appreciate your interest in greek ompanies but let me tell you that i am equally sympathetic to the hard work of all Greeks being Greek myself thank you Ipodamos

[edit] List of museums in Greece

I've been watching this page since I caught it when it was nominated for deletion (and fought to have it kept). I'd like to request that you take a look at the discussion about the proposed deletion, and the reasons why people wanted it deleted. In particular, please do not add external links within the body of the article. Take a look at some of the other similar pages on Wikipedia for comparison and examples of consensus-decided styles which should be used in this article: List of museums in Egypt and List of museums in England are good ones. So if you do not go through and remove those external links, then I will do so again - I was the one who removed them in order to try and prevent the list from getting deleted. Thank you for your contributions, however - that page does need a lot of work, and you have contributed very nicely, especially with the organization work that needs to get done there. --└ Smith120bh/TALK ┐ 05:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


Removed external links but the page needs indeed lots of work. Thanks for the recommendations Ipodamos

Awesome, thank you! When I get some time, I'll put in some hours to more work on that page as well. For now, keep up the good work! --└ Smith120bh/TALK ┐ 17:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Don't switch BCE/CE to BC/AD style in articles that aren't about the Christian religion. No one switches BC/AD usage to BCE/CE, you may have noticed. The Wikipedia convention is to continue with the style in which an article has been begun. This includes avoiding "Americanizing" spellings in articles that are not specifically American. Good taste is often just a matter of good sense. --Wetman 00:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • thanks for your tasteful advice Ipodamos

[edit] Alekos Fassianos

A tag has been placed on Alekos Fassianos, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Tiptoety 22:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

hey guys you re very fast. I am actually expanding the article right now Ipodamos

[edit] Notability of Alekos Fassianos

A tag has been placed on Alekos Fassianos, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Tiptoety 23:02, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Did you see Theophanes of Crete?

Is he the same as Theophanis Strelitzas (Θεοφάνης Στρελίτζας)? I suspect yes. New article, was copyvio but I have edited. Johnbod 15:50, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I think they are different painters. The first one lived between 1330 - 1410, taught in Constantinople (perhaps in Creteas well) and worked mainly in Russia and the Russians consider him father of their iconography while strelitzas is working at the 16th century mainly in Greece [1]. what i am worrying about is that he Theophanes the Greek might not be representative of the cretan school at that period given that he worked in Russiawhat do you think?Ipodamos

sorry just checked your bio and understood what you meant. you are right sorry for the confusion Ipodamos

It wasn't mine (originally). I think it should be re-titled "Theophanis Strelitzas" (or maybe "theophanes"), which I think is the more common name. Do you agree?

i ve just been reading some greek texts about strelintzas and they always refer to him as theophanes the Cretan (Θεοφάνης ο Κρης). I suppose that theophanes strelitzas would be more appropriate though for the wikipage Ipodamos

I'll look around English sources & open a discussion on the talk page. Johnbod 18:02, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, a mistake - thanks! I've added to the Theophanes talk page & now think Theophanes the Cretan the best rename - matching "the Greek", as per Getty Name List etc. Perhaps you could comment there. Johnbod 01:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Polychronis Lembesis

Hi. Sorry to bother you, but your name came up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts as someone who knows about Greek artists. Lembesis (Πολυχρόνης Λεμπέσης) appears to be a member of the Munich School, but all but trivial references are in Greek. Would you be able to help? Thx. Gordonofcartoon 11:13, 6 August 2007 (UTC) i will expand his wikipage as soon as i find some time. thx for asking Ipodamos

[edit] Greek Scholars and Early Printing

Dear Ipodamos,

I am quite new in using Wikipedia, and I can't find a way to send you a message. Still, I would need to get in touch with you. I am undergoing a D.Phil. at Oxford University on the reception of Byzantine culture and literature in the context of early printing (1453-1700). I am avoiding classical Greek literature, but still I can see that many names in your list are very important for my research, and a confrontation with you would therefore be extremely useful.

All the best, deC —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myriobiblion (talk • contribs) 15:59, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

feel free to ask me whatever you need for your Dphil. lets only hope that i can help

[edit] Benaki Museum

I undid your edit here becuase the template was already on the article. It may need to be moved to a better location in the article but we don't need two :) TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 12:58, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
