[edit] Small parameter
I added the optional small parameter per WP:TS. You can see it implemented on Talk:Indo-Greek Kingdom. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 16:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you! Even too late!--Yannismarou 12:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Move to WPGreece?
I propose renaming this template to WPGreece since the project and this banner is used for far more Greece related subjects than just history. A redirect from here to the new name should take care of all existing articles. What does the community think? --Kimon 16:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- If you can do it without undesirable side-effects, go for it!--Yannismarou 19:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Done --Kimon 19:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Strange behaviour
I noticed on Talk:Stephanos Skouloudis that this template is acting oddly. It is giving the text "This page is not an article and does not require a rating" even for those talk pages where the article is rated. I don't have the technical skill to fix this; can someone take a look? -- Jonel | Speak 04:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I had screwed something up last time. Now all articles should be fine. --Kimontalk 12:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Look change
Which look is preferable, the one the template currently has or this one: User:Kimon/WPGR? --Kimontalk 21:21, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- I don't see the difference. BTW, I saw the note on not cluttering up the talk pages with unused parameters and I will be better about that now. :) Argos'Dad 23:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Crap! While trying to keep the test copy in synch with the production copy, I messed up the image. Try now. --Kimontalk 23:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, now I see. I appreciate creativity and think we should constantly look at things and even change them. I am not sure if this change is the best. The Greek flag to me is limiting to the Hellenic Republic and I think the project includes articles about Greece writ large: from the Descent of the Dorians through the Minoan, Hellenistic, Macedonian, Byzantine and Modern times, including the diaspora, Cyprus, and Cavafy (for example). Maybe the flag is the best symbol for Greeks, but I wonder if there is an image that covers all that we include? Probably not, but let's think what represents Hellenism rather than the nation of Greece. Again, I want to encourage your creativity, but let's think bigger... Argos'Dad 23:35, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- No disagreement. I was just thinking that the satellite image was limiting as well. How about a nice image of the Parthenon? --Kimontalk 01:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- The Parthenon is universally recognized as a symbol of Greece and Hellenism. There was an Orthodox church inside it at one time (though you can't tell from the outside) so it also represents a fusion of the Ancient and Christian eras. I think that might work. Some other ideas I thought of: a laurel wreath? a column? a stele of Athena? Nothing Byzantine or modern seems to fit... the laurel wreath was ancient and also represents the revival of the Olympics which also brings in sports and culture. Just some thoughts... Argos'Dad 03:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- There was Catholic church in there too and also a mosque; it is also believed that the frieze showed a procession for a religious event that included sports (like the ancient Olympics), so the Parthenon would cover a whole lot of the subjects of Greece and Hellenism in general. Though I like the idea of the laurel wreath, it may be misinterpreted as a peace symbol which I don't think is what we want (not that there's anything wrong with peace or anything). I thought of a column of the ionic or corinthian style but, I thought it would be too plain, I don't know..... You're right, nothing of the Roman era or later that comes to mind would adequately cover the broad subject we want.
I updated the test template in my userspace with an image that Odysseas used for a barnstar proposal. Take a look --Kimontalk 16:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC)- In case somebody has not noticed it this discussion, I also copy it to the project's main page.--Yannismarou 17:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
