Big brother Albania
Thanks for putting summarys and highlights on the Big brother Albania page. I can not speak or read the main language of Albania so if you had not added those weekly summaries to the page I would never have known just how good of a show it was.

Underdeveloped Countries
What do you mean with that?84.134.121.181 (talk) 21:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Greece and unprotected page

 * Hello. I would like you to considr taking the initiative in crafting a sensible entry for Greece and replacing the one we have. If you need a place to do it, or wish to collaborate on it instead, Ian created a Marek-Ian "user", which contains a subpage where NPOVed descriptions of countries have been worked on. Some are already in the article from before the article protection, perhaps twisted around a bit. :) Anywyay, I got the page unprotected by asking user:Husond, but have so far limited myself to simple housekeeping: sourcing recognizers per WP:VER. The link to the subpage is on my talk page. Best wishes, --Mareklug talk 04:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for taking this mission up, and thanks for the reply. I just finished what you had started on the Ian-Marek subpage, where I replaced the problematic Russian news source in Russian by the same content sourced to the Greek MFA. Why Avala was not using the Greek MFA or giving this link in the discussion when asked is inexplicable. Sourcing Russians did not make this item better or more believable. I can only surmise, that he needed to show the Russian media as being factual and impartial in this instance, so that he could stitch the more partisan Russian take on things elsewehre (India, China).


 * Be that as it may, the Greek write-up looks done to me, and balanced. The lone Serbian media used is explicitly noted as such in the text, without having to look up the superscripted reference. Everyting looks lucid and honest to me, and relevant. If you agree, would ou do the honors and deploy it in the international reaction to the 2008 declaration of independence by Kosovo?
