I'm very very proud because
Pericles
, the first article I rewrote, is now a FA!!!
Is this the portrait of yours,
Δομήνικε ? Is this the portrait of the greatest painter of all times? If yes, I feel like
Odysseas Elytis: "lifted on the two enormous wings of Doménicos up to his skies".
I didn't want to be called a sexist. Therefore,
Aspasia, Pericles companion, is also a FA now.
I admit it now; I am an admiror of him. Maybe because he is everything I'm not. I owed him a star. The article about
Alcibiades, Pericles' ptotégé, is now FA.
I pay my respects to you, the greatest orators of all ages.
Demosthenes, son of Demosthenes, this star
is for you.
We lost a
war, but we won a star
!
[edit] My Wikipedia contributions
I decided it's high time I noticed some of my contributions, intending to proliferate them!
The edits were first edited by me. Substantial rewrites by other contributors in these edits are noted.
The rewrites were edited by other contributors, but I have substantially modified their content, mostly by adding supplementary material.
Featured contributions
I have substantially (re)written (until now!) six featured articles. Additionally, I have significantly contributed to the Law article during its FAC, and, in collaboration with other editors, I achieved to maintain five more articles to FA status during their nominations in FAR(C):
-
- Pericles
- Featured in August 2006. "Today's featured article" in September 2006. Rewritten by me in collaboration with Konstable, Robth and Druworos. Very valuable were also the contibutions of Septentrionalis and Wandalstouring.
