[edit] Comment
In the second and third paragraph you can read:
- appoint Metr. Athenagoras to the position of Archbishop of North and South America...
- dissension between Royalists and Venizelists who had virtually divided the country...
- in the personal airplane of the American president Harry Truman...
Giving to the reader the impression that the writer doesn't know the difference between the Americas and the U.S.A.
I would fix it myself, but I don't know a word about the life of this guy... --euyyn 21:20, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Who where the Royalists and the Venizelists?
It seems that there's no info in wikipedia about them: Royalists Venizelists --euyyn 21:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- They were two political groups in early 20th c. Greece. The Venizelists were partisans of Eleftherios Venizelos, the prime minister of Greece, while the Royalists supported rule by the Greek monarchy. —Preost talk contribs 03:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Athenagoras.jpg
Image:Athenagoras.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] circumstances of his election and acceptance by turkish authorities
there is something i don't understand: the turks allow only ethnic greeks with turkish citizenship by birth to become patriarch. athenagoras was born in epirus, when it was still ottoman - is this the reason, why he was accepted a turkish citizen by birth?? and then, patriarch constantins VI. election was not accepted by the turks and he was expelled because they considered him a subject to the population-exchange as he was from outside istanbul (see http://www.turkishweekly.net/articles.php?id=86). why did they accept athenagoras who had much less "connection" with turkey? maybe somebody with competence can explain. --Severino (talk) 16:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Age
If he was born on 8 September 1914(1914-09-08) and died on July 7, 1972 he would not be (aged 86) as the page says...he would be 57. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.117.184.221 (talk) 09:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
