[edit] Battle of Greece

I've given the article a detailed peer-review in Talk:Battle of Greece#Informal review. I've also commented on its nomination for A-Class. I think the most important of my remarks is the need for a slight overall copyediting (+other things I've mentioned). I didn't do it. Since you are an American citizen, I believe that your English must be better than mine and you can do this job better than me!

By the way, you already know about the Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Greece and you are of course invited to participate.

Welcome in Wikipedia!--Yannismarou 17:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello Periklis! I've found a very good source for the Battle of Greece, from the US Army's Center of Military History. I hope it helps. Regards, Cplakidas 11:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—and wherever—you'd like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
  • Working on featured-level articles? We have some advice for nominators, and an A-Class review process to help check high-quality articles.
  • Want to help with specific requests for assistance? Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
  • Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 02:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unblocked

I have unblocked you for the time being. We'll see how this works out. Best, Mackensen (talk) 18:06, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Perikli, I really hope you prove worthy of the expectations of all of us. Indeed, I hope there was no relation between you and that other case, as we were all convinced by your courtious manners in your communication and your valuable contributions. Keep up the good work, and remember that your closest friends will be those requesting the hardest punishment should they feel betrayed and fooled. •NikoSilver• 21:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Happy to see you unblocked! I think you should take into serious consideration Nico's remarks. As long as you continue your nice contributions, I'll also be here to support you. But if any connection with sockpuppeting is proved, I'll be one of the first to ask for your punishment. I hope this bad dream wil never become reality! Cheers!--Yannismarou 11:11, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Greece

Hey Periklis. Just wandering since you are the chief editors of the Battle of Greece if you have thought of putting it up for FA. If you do all the best, I support it. Kyriakos 06:46, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I am definitely planning to put it for FA. I haven't been on wiki lately but hopefully in a few weeks time I can focus on it and get it finally ready for FA. Best regards, Periklis* 02:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Nice to see you are back! I saw that the additions you reverted had a source. I am not in a position to evaluate the source, but I thought you should know in case you didn't notice. NikoSilver 10:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Per Kyriakos! Prepare the article for FAC!--Yannismarou 15:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Crete ref.

Hi Periklis*,

I noticed that, based on the article history, you added a statement to the introduction (on 15 October 2006) that said, "...and Commanding General Kurt Student was contemplating suicide." Do you have a reference for this assertion? I'm not having much luck in finding anything even remotely definitive. Thank you. — RJH (talk) 18:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for your message. I haven't been on wiki lately. Well, if you would like a reference you can find it on The Lost Battle, Crete 1941 by Callum Macdonald on page 197 of that book.The book can be found in the references at the bottom of the article. Callum Macdonald writes the following about Kurt Student: "After the war, he admitted that the hours before dawn were the longest of his life: "I waited with my pistol continuously by my side, ready to use it on myself, if the worst came to the worst." The quote can also be found in Crete 1941:Eyewitnessed. Thanks for letting me know, and good luck on improving the article. Regards, Periklis* 02:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I'm not sure I would interpret that as contemplating suicide as much as a willingness not to be taken alive. — RJH (talk) 15:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
