I agree. I think the undocumented photographs are reaching near-crisis proportions. I hereby call for all these dubious pictures to be quarantined pending review by a panel. Hole Punch 85 (talk) 22:26, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Romuva
Thank you for all your help! It is truly appreciated. I hope you can finish adding the info from the books you have. The article has been on my radar screen for ever, but I was never able to find any good sources to help with clean up. So THANK YOU again. Renata (talk) 15:57, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Did I answer your questions adequately at the Humanities Reference desk? Thanks for encouraging me to continue with the question. I understand you are a librarian?--LordGorval (talk) 23:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You can answer here as I have a watch on your talk page.--LordGorval (talk) 11:16, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you, that was sufficient. And, no, I am not; that "Librarian of the Week" box is just a metaphorical thank you for helping out at WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 00:47, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Louis Hartz on Plato's Dialectic
Hi, I can't find the article online either. My copy of it is reprinted in a collection of essays about the dialectic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clandarkfire (talk • contribs) 02:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Hartz
Yes, it's in the magazine "Political Theory," published in 1988. There's a collection of several of Hartz's works, which are together grouped under the title "Louis Hartz: The Final Years, the Unknown Work." They're all edited by Patrick Riley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clandarkfire (talk • contribs) 03:11, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Book of Isaiah
Please don't think I'm trying to suppress your material, it's just that I can't give in-depth explanations in an edit summary.

The point I'm trying to make is that practically no modern scholars think the book is by Isaiah or even by one author - I think we have a source saying that. In addition, Josephus and Eusebius are ancient primary sources, and we should be using modern secondary ones (it's safer - if we use primary sources we ignore the work of scholars). Finally, this is not the use for which footnotes are intended - they should simply refer the reader to the source of statements made in the article, so that they can be checked - comment like this, if it stands, needs to be in the body of the article. I don't think, however, that it would be accepted into the body, given (a) the overwhelming modern conclusion that the book is by multiple authors and contains only small pieces by Isaiah, and (b) the fact that it's talking about ancient authors.

Anyway, if you feel strongly about this, then Talk is the place to go. PiCo (talk) 08:41, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
This has to be the most dubious barnstar ever. Special:Contributions/MonsieurKarl-- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 19:18, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

For you diligent work at WP:REX

 * Although I do sometimes post there, and I did gladly help you recently, I do believe you meant to give this to User:GabrielF. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 09:20, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I sent them to GabrielF and Shrike too. I am just thankful that Wikipedia is able to call on such a system to provide much needed resources to editors.  Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 09:33, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Well then, thank you very much and you're welcome. I have started a page User:Atethnekos/Source_Access to help with this sort of thing, although it hasn't gotten anywhere yet. The_Wikipedia_Library may be of interest to you, though. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 09:43, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Nice
hello atethnekos Nice was annexed in France at the same time and under the same conditions as Savoy. Both appoint niçois Garibaldi and Laurenti-Roubaudi sent this letter of protest to the Parliament of Turin to denounce the conditions of the plebiscite: Babylon 10 letter of garibaldi traduce in english

" Mister President,

" Seen the result of the vote of the county of Nice, which took place on 15 inst., without any legal guarantee, in obvious violation of the freedom and the regularity of the ballot and the pledges were stipulated in the treaty of transfer of March 24th;

" Waited, that such a vote took place in a country which nominally still belonged to the Sardinian State and which was free to choose between this one and France, but which was in reality completely in the hands of this last power, occupied militarily and subjected to all the influences of the material strength, as us prove him(it) without possible contesting the testimonies of the Chamber(room) and the country; " Since the present vote took place with very grave irregularities, but which the experience(experiment) of past refuses us any hope to see orderly a survey(investigation) on this subject;

" We undersigned, believe of our duty to put down(to deposit) our representatives' mandate(representatives' money order) of Nice, by protesting against the act of fraud and violence committed, until the time(weather) and the circumstances allow we and our fellow countrymen to assert(to derive profit from) with a real freedom our rights, which cannot be decreased by an illegal and fraudulent pact "

Giuseppe Garibaldi - Laurenti-Roubaudi

Reviewer and Rollback
Hey Atethnekos, just wanted to let you know that I have enabled Reviewer per your request. I also noticed that you did not have rollback rights so I went ahead and tacked that on too. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing!  Malinaccier ( talk ) 00:22, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback may be removed at any time.

Welcome to STiki!

 * I noticed that you didn't find too many vandalisms/reverts in your trial with STiki. Possibly due to some recent attention around my account (RfA), the tool has been seeing a lot of throughput recently. It's kind of a paradoxical effect, but the more popular the tool, the less "success" individual users will experience. Under more "normal" conditions, most users find 33%+ of displayed edits will be revert worthy. I/we hope you'll give it another try some time and have some better luck. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 05:56, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Andrew, if I may call you that. I'm still getting used to the tool; I'll be trying it out for the next little while, at least. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 07:10, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

"It's all Greek to me!"
Are you Greek? Do you speak Greek? How much Greek do you know? Is your user name - Atethnekos - a Greek name? Do you worship the Greek gods, or are you Greek Orthodox? 65.24.105.132 (talk) 00:21, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not Greek, nor orthodox, nor do I worship Greek gods. I studied Classical Greek at the undergraduate and graduate level.  Classical Greek is generally not spoken, only read, and is significantly different from Modern Greek (You might compare Middle English with today's English to get a sense of the amount of difference.  The difference between Old English and Modern English would be an even greater difference than the difference between Classical Greek and Modern Greek, which is pretty amazing considering that Classical Greek is around 2400 years old whereas Old English is around 1100 years old).
 * The name is a neologism which is basically Ancient Greek. tethnekos or τεθνηκώς can indicate a dead person, so atethnekos or ἀτεθνηκώς suggests an undead person.  But it's not a word that actually occurs in the corpus of ancient Greek literature. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 22:13, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

DRN organisers
Hello. I am just letting you know that I've made a proposal to create a rotating DRN organiser-style role that would help with the day-to-day running of DRN. As you are a listed volunteer at DRN, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this, and the other open proposals at DRN. You can read more about it here. Thanks!

Germanic peoples
hi can you please add a paragraph on the Germanic peoples article lead about modern-day germanic peoples with a list of them, at first it seemed that people were against including that paragraph but consensus later changed on the talkpage with among others you and other people arguing it was correct i cannot edit the page myself like that because it is protected and i neither cannot make a edit request at the articles talkpage for some reasons thanks 95.195.203.178 (talk) 16:31, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll look into how the paragraph in the lede can be made a little clearer. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 02:55, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * just reminding in case you forgot, meybe the paragraph should also emphasize the existance of modern germanic people 95.195.213.133 (talk) 18:47, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Maybe you could take a look at my recent changes to the lead of Race and Intelligence which I made along the lines suggested by you. They have now been reverted so it would be good to know which version of the lead you consider to be better.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 22:38, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

DRN needs your help!
Hi there. I've noticed it's been a while since you've been active at DRN, and we could really use your help! DRN is going to undergo some changes soon, so it'd really be great if our backlog is cleared before the start of August and we have as many people on board to help with the changes (they include a move to subpages and the creation of a rotating "co-ordinator" role to help manage things day-to-day. Hope to see you soon! Steven   Zhang  Help resolve disputes! 11:09, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Race and Intelligence
Hello. You seem adept at diffusing tensions in Talk:Race and intelligence in the past which have been extremely helpful. If you have the time, could you take a look at the current discussion in Talk? Maunus has threatened to open ArbCom against me and a third opinion on the matter would be very helpful. I would highly appreciate it. Thank you. BlackHades (talk) 19:28, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
