In Greek is "Νεκρομαντείον" and on the Road Traffic Labels we see "Nekromanteion". So please make ONE, and tell me in wich article to edit??? Best Regards, Harry Gouvas.

Necromanteion again...
I have reverted (changed back to previous version) this:. The problem was that part of the text you added appears to be the same as that at, and I see no evidence we can copy text from that site. Tizio 14:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Preveza
Hi there,

Nice additions, but I think there are too many pictures. The lede shouldn't have any pictures other than the one in the infobox. Consider leaving historical pictures in the History section and creating a "Gallery" section for the rest, as is done in in the article on Greece. Also, the map of Preveza nomos and the stuff about Kallikratis should be in a separate section, not the lede.

Thank you for your advices. If you can make something better, in the article, do it. It helps me anyway. Best regards Harrygouvas (talk) 11:57, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello, This is probably going to be a weird message to you...

Disregarding that, though, I have an ingrown toenail. Two of them on both sides of the same nail, actually. What would you recommend to help treat it?

Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Traumatic Amputation to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It currently has been listed at Pages Needing Translation, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion.

I translate it myown, not google machine. Im sorry about my late. Please, can you help me about photos? It is impossible to upload photos directly to the article in Wikipedia. There is suggestion to do that in Commons. OK. Can someone to give me one by one the steps to upload there the photos of the article "Traumatic amputations"? Thanks Harrygouvas (talk) 10:05, 8 January 2011 (UTC) Dr. Harry Gouvas,Hand Surgeon, Greece

Your contributed article, Traumatic Amputation


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Traumatic Amputation. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Traumatic amputation. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Traumatic amputation - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions.  Cind. amuse  20:14, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Sir for your informations. I am proud about our collaboration. As I see now, my article Traumatic Amputation already exists. So there is not any problem. I have just to ...entertain it and add some photos. But, first we have to agree if the article will exist OR by your oppinion must be incorporated inside the Amputation article. I don't know your oppinion Sir exactly, maybe there are also other oppinions of administrators about that. Please, allow me to explain as a specialist Hand Surgeon 55 years old, that THERE ARE 3 VERY DIFFERENT TYPES of Amputations. 1. Traumatic (my article) 2. Therapeutic (for gangrain, diabetes, tumors, etc) 3. Social (Islamic, Budhist, Siera leone Civil War, etc). My oppinion is we need 3 articles. It would be my pleasure to reat your oppinion. Please i ask your sorry about my English. It is not my mother tongue. I am Dr. Harry Gouvas, Greek doctor, Orthopaedic Surgeon, MD, PhD. Bet regards Harrygouvas (talk) 20:43, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello ans welcome to Wikipedia! I think your ideas about three different articles would be an asset to add to the encyclopedia. Please forgive any typos as i broke my thumb and tore ligaments in my hand yesterday and find myself typing with only one hand. Do you make house calls? (Just joking.) in my opionion, it would be an improvement to add a brief introduction of the different kinds of amputation to the Amputation section in the Amputation article. then you could create separate articles that go more in depth. You could link to the new articles from the Amputation  article. I don't know if I;m making any sense, but in essence, i think you should go ahead and create three articles (as you suggest), linked from the Amputation article. I think that it would be advantageous for you to let other editors on the Amputation talk page know your thoughts. Let me know if you need help with anything.  Cind.  amuse  21:21, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

HARRY GOUVAS: I agree with You Sir 100%. I will need help in uploading Photos in the artice (My cases medical Photos). Please send me informations HOW i can do it, step by step. It is different in Greek Wikipedia than in English Wikipedia. ThanksHarrygouvas (talk) 20:12, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Sir
Thank You Sir for your Barnstar! Please, Could you help me to Upload my photos from Wikipedia Commons to the Article? I failed Harrygouvas (talk) 16:55, 23 January 2012 (UTC) Greece
 * You failed because the file in the en.wikipedia and the file in the Commons both had the same name File:Sodium Hyaluronate.JPG. To avoid this I moved the file in the en.wikipedia to a new name File:Sodium Hyaluronate 001.JPG and deleted the old name (I can do this because I'm an admin). Then I introduced the file from the Commons into the infobox in this manner: | image= Sodium Hyaluronate.JPG. And that's it. If you need more help like this, you can contact me at my talk page.
 * Another good advise. When uploading images to the Commons, I always use the Creative Commons license with attribution. (In the upload wizard choose "Choose another license" and choose the second one). Why ? Because, anybody using your photos will have to give credit to you. This way, my name has been credited at least 44,000 times on the internet (and who knows how many times my photos have been used without giving credit). My photos have been used in several books about art, in scientific journals and even in the Encyclopaedia Brittannica online etc., each time with credit. So it can happen with your photos. Once uploaded, these photos begin a life of their own and start to pop up everywhere. JoJan (talk) 08:50, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

One more time, Thanks a lot Sir!!!Harrygouvas (talk) 17:22, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

The Photographer is unknown. Probably this photo has taken by a public photographer of reportage (reporter) in the Thessaloniki 1957 International Exhibition, when the invention of Nestle Frappe cofee invented by him.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kitsakis Alekos


A tag has been placed on Kitsakis Alekos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

ANSWER
The Painter of this paint "FACE IN THE CLOUDS" was Dimitris Genias or Yenias, who died on 2011. However, our foundation, when buys paints, asks allways and takes document from the painter, about 2 things: (a) That the paint is Original and not copy (b) That the painter gives us the copyright of the paint, that means we have the lisence to publish everywhere the photo of any paint of our Collection.

Hi Harrygouvas, I see you are having many problems with images you upload and then they are deleted. I am sorry to see your effort wasted, but there are some requirements that cannot be overlooked, especially when dealing with images of works of art. Answering about such concerns in your talk page, does not solve the problem at all. It is absolutely necessary that such statements are communicated per email with permissions-en@wikimedia.org so they can approve the claims. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me in my talk page or to email me. Hoverfish Talk 18:00, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

I see, you have already communicated to OTRS about File:Paint "Face in the Clouds".jpg. I was looking at File:Caress of the Sun.jpg, which still misses an template. As it is, this photo can still be deleted in 3-4 days, which would be a pity. Hoverfish Talk 18:09, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

ANSWER
Thank you for your Mail dear friend. Really, the time from death of painter (1957 to 2013) is just 56 years, not 70 as needed. However, when a paint belongs to private Collection, Collectors WANT to have publicity about the photo of the paint, because the price of the paint INCREASES. So there was never legal problem in history, about photos of paints in private collection, because of this reason. The problem exists IF the pain will be print in post cards or posters. That is my oppinion as a collector and like as a Museum Director. If you have other oppinion, i have no problem to erase this photo.

Speedy deletion nomination of Anthony Adolph


A tag has been placed on Anthony Adolph requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://anthonyadolph.co.uk/brutus-of-troy/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
