Proposed rewrite[edit]

This proposed rewrite was also forwarded to me by the same person who provided the references, above. Please comment on it and incorporate any of it you wish to include.

Evangelos Marinakis (Greek: Ευάγγελος Μαρινάκης) is a shipping tycoon and president of Piraeus-based football club Olympiacos F.C., the largest football club in Greece.
Since March 2007, Marinakis has been Chairman of the Board of Directors and a Director of Nasdaq-listed Capital Product Partners L.P.¹ (Nasdaq:CPLP). He has also served as President, CEO and Director of Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. since its incorporation in March 2005.² Marinakis served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NYSE-listed Crude Carriers Corp.,³ an affiliate of Capital Maritime, since March 2010 until its merger⁴ with CPLP in September 2011.⁵
Born in Piraeus, Greece, Marinakis completed his studies in London and has a degree in "International Management" and an M.A. in "International Relations".⁶
Marinakis began his career as a Sale & Purchase trainee broker at Harley Mullion in the UK, and then worked as a chartering broker for Elders Chartering Limited, also in the UK.
From 1992 to 2005, Evangelos Marinakis was the Commercial Manager of Capital Ship Management Corp.⁷ and oversaw the businesses of the group of companies that currently form Capital Maritime. He was also active in various other family businesses, all related to the shipping industry. During this time he founded Curzon Maritime Limited, a shipping broker, and Express Sea Transport Corporation, an international vessel operator.
The aforementioned companies combine 80 years of commercial and technical ship management experience under one roof, in a range of vessel types and sizes. With a total deadweight capacity of approximately 3.5 million tonnes, they are qualified to enter into long-term charters with oil companies such as: BP Shipping Limited, Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Total, Repsol, Statoil, Petrobras and Cepsa.
They have received various international awards, from Royal Dutch Shell, BP Shipping, Lloyd’s Register of Shipping , American Bureau of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping awards “Tanker Company of the Year”⁸ and others.
Marinakis’ prominence has been repeatedly acknowledged, as he was voted "Greek Shipping Newsmaker of the Year” for 2010 at the annual Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards.⁹ He has also featured as one of the 100 most influential people in the world shipping industry in articles by prestigious international shipping publications Lloyd’s List¹⁰ and Tradewinds.
Marinakis supports international charity foundations and humanitarian projects, such as the ‘Greece Debt Free’ NGO,¹¹ the United Nations Development Programme, the earthquake relief funds for Haiti and Japan,¹² numerous Greek reforestation and recycling projects and various Greek children’s charities, including ‘Together for Children’, Elpida and Argo.¹³
Since mid-2010 Marinakis has controlled Greece’s most successful football club, Piraeus’ hometown team Olympiakos.¹⁴ Marinakis assumed the presidency of Olympiacos F.C. by December 2010. In June of that year Marinakis participated in the increase in share capital of Olympiacos F.C. and became a majority shareholder with a 70% share, after concluding an agreement with the President at the time, Mr. Socrates Kokkalis.
Marinakis served as president of the Super League Greece and Vice-President of the Hellenic Football Federation from August 2010 to August 2011.
In June 2011, Evangelos Marinakis was among 68 suspects named by Greek judicial authorities for bribing members of the Hellenic Football Federation, including the CEO. The match-fixing investigation was launched after UEFA gave Greek authorities a report citing irregular betting patterns, mostly involving Greek Cup and second division games in 2009 and 2010.¹⁵

The superscript notes in the above suggestion refer to the list of links in the section above (#15 = "Greek league chief Vangelis Marinakis linked to corruption scandal - ESPN". Espn.go.com. 2011-06-24. Retrieved 2012-02-22.). While I think there is some useful information in the above suggested rewrite, I also think it is written with too much marketing-speak (it sounds like an official short bio), so anything used will need to be changed to conform with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 04:33, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unjustified revert[edit]

Dear Nikolaos Fanaris, i just noticed that a series of edits were reverted by you without providing any explanation (WP:REVEXP). So I will revert your edit and I hope you will explain your reverting here.--SakuraF1986 (talk) 12:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:NikolaosFanaris would you like to justify your reverts?--SakuraF1986 (talk) 12:11, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Avoid removing cited content without consensus. I understand you are a new user but it does not make any sense to remove such a big portion of text without justifying its removal - especially when it comes to the bombing allegations, which is cited and well-developed. Cheers. NikolaosFanaris (talk) 11:28, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

QFirst of all I added some new content with reliable sources and you never justified why you had removed them.

Second of all the article contains unnecessary details for a legal case that ended in acquittal for Marinakis. These details are coming from the Koreas report, which was the preliminary inquire of legal case. As you might know in Greece the criminal process comprises two basic stages: 1) Pre-trial proceedings (preliminary inquiry, main investigation of offences, process of indictment), which are non-public and non-adversarial, and 2) trial proceedings, which are public, oral and moderately adversarial. So the majority of the information that exist in article are coming from the preliminary inquiry, not even from the main investigation (ανάκριση). As regarding the incident of bombing it's quite important to highlight that bombing was initially related with the The 2015 Greek football scandal and it was one of the accusations (along with Aiding and abetting blackmailing, Fraud etc) that Marinakis was charged by the prosecutor in preliminary inquiry. That's why I merged (NOT REMOVED) the subheadings of "bombing" with "sports", which includes the 2015 Greek football scandal. Even so the accusation of bombing was dropped without being brought to a trial according to the decision of the council of judges and the prosecutor Daskalopoulos. So it's quite a paradox that an accusation which had been dropped by the judges and the prosecutor in pre-trial proceeding, has a whole subheading (!) and I am pretty sure that does not apply with the policy about Biographies of living persons (it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives).

Also searching at history of the article, I saw that the subheading of bombing was added a few months ago by User:Mightberightorwrong, who has been blocked by sysops as puppet of Glucken123. So where is the consensus?

":Closing all this: what's the problem with merging of subheadings and removal unnecessary details (not the information about the bombing itself)?--Diu (talk) 12:24, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
