Old sock back to wiki
It seems an old sock is back here, after spending some months in creating ultranationlistic material on the web [][]. Guess who adds again 19th century museum stuff as references and "understands" archaich Greek by using it for pov pusing?Alexikoua (talk) 22:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Mediation Cabal
Hi there. I have offered to mediate a MedCab case you are involved in here. If all involved parties accept this offer, I hope to be able to bring a reconciliation on the issue. I would appreciate it if you could read the statement I posted on the page and let me know if you accept my offer of mediation. Thanks.  Whenaxis  about &#124; talk 02:11, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you again. If you are still interested in the case, it's still open here. So, when you are available feel free to take a look and leave a message. If not, please notify me on my talk page of your absteinance from the case. Thanks,  Whenaxis  about &#124; talk 21:18, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Peloponnese photos
I am not here to either trick anyone or play it "clever". So please spare the "you wouldnt think i would notice it". I really cant understand your obsession not putting those pics in this article. I didnt erase any pics, I just put some pics, that show a part of Peloponnese. You might say that this is not representative of Peloponnese, but either the medow below is. But thats not the point. I dont think that here is a rule that we must ONLY put REPRESENTATIVE pics in an article. Thanks. Nochoje (talk) 21:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, we are in fact supposed to put ONLY representative pics in an article. Why? Because wikipedia is an ENCYCLOPEDIA, not facebook or flicker.  It's explained in WP:MOSIM if you can be bothered to read it.  I don't know what you see in those pictures.  They are ugly, boring, and could be anywhere in the world.  As for "obsession", I can't believe that you actually waited all these MONTHS and re-added them.  Talk about obsession.  Very disappointing. Athenean (talk) 21:27, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

 * OK fair enough. I read WP:MOSIM and well i guess you are right. You live and learn, since I am quite new in Wikipedia. But again, I didnt wait months to put photos in the article, I mean I've got other things to do besides that... :) Anyway I shall not put those pics again in this article.Nochoje (talk) 22:49, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Byzantine Empire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Simeon I (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Byzantine Empire
Hi! If you have a citation, which you intend to repeat, let's say for instance, then it is better to use the "ref name" format, namely in its first instance you write , and then you just repeat. In this way, you avoid the reappearance of exactly the same citation as being a different one (while it's not really a different one). See how I formated your recent citation in the article (in accord with its stable version), and also check and. And also, since you are rewriting the particular section, if you have any sources to replace "Norwich 1998", please do it, because it has to go (it provides no page) or, at least, to be backed with a proper citation.

Is this your first active experience with FAR? How do you find it?! I return to FAR after some years, and, as far as I am concerned, I feel again some of the old time "excitement"! Καλό ΣΚ!--Yannismarou (talk) 14:55, 10 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Geia sou Gianni, yes, this is my first experience with FAR. It is an immense amount of work, because the article is so large.  There is simply no way I could do it all myself.  Quick question:  Let's say I have three consecutive sentences sourced to the same source.  Should I simply add a citation at the end of the last one to avoid clutter?  Or should I add a citation at the end of all 3, otherwise people might assume the first two are uncited. Thanks, Athenean (talk) 20:15, 12 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, there is no "correct" answer. I personally prefer the second approach. I want every paragraph to be properly cited, but, if three sentences in a row have exactly the same citation, I'd rather put it at the end of the third sentence. However, I see that there is often an "overexcitement" in Wikipedia with citations, and I am not sure that everybody agrees with me. For me, it's just simple logic, but ... --Yannismarou (talk) 21:54, 12 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I tend to agree. After all, any user that actually checks the citation will see that the whole paragraph is cited to that citation. Besides, if anyone mentions it on the FAR, i will just explain my approach.  I will proceed with that approach then. Athenean (talk) 21:56, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Section demographics ( aritcle Albania)
I see you changed the sentence back and gave the reason that the source says "most". In this case do you mind putting the quote on the sentence since without it is misleading i.e. the source you provide says most which hardly means that is true as it one quote saying most. Also there are two sources for those sentences please indicate which one. See also the talk page where one of the sources is challenged. Please do not respond driven by nationalistic views and understand my request for the quote since you say you cite a whole sentence and if that is the case those are necessary and in the message you put most in quote so i am sure you understand. However the paragraph is hardly encyclopedic since is understood most when it comes from one book saying most. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Purusbonum (talk • contribs) 22:35, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Byzantine Empire (again!)
Hi! When you add new sources, as I think you did in citations 89-94, do not add these new sources in the citations section but in the "Secondary Sources" of the References section. Per the standard of this article and Harvard Ref system (which is used consistently throughout the article), in the citations we only put author-year-page. Otherwise, first we are inconsistent and secondly we break the uniform use and utility of Harvard Ref. in the article. As regards your source in citation 94, take into consideration that I have already used Cameron throughout the article but from the Greek edition (a kind present to me by the translator of the book himself and former Wikipedian, Giorgos Tzimas). I think it's best to stick to one edition of the same book. I'll thus find the respective page of the Greek edition and I'll fix the citation.

Finally, take note of the two notifications above (6th and 16th March) brought to you by the bot as regards disambiguations. Try to avoid linking to disambiguation pages, and, whenever you find such pages in the article, please try to fix them. In the sections I rewrite and source, I check separately each wikilink to see if there are disamb. problems. It may seem trivia, but, to the contrary, complete avoidance of disambiguation pages (as well as consistent following of MoS rules) is one of the criteria for FA status. Have a nice weekend! Best,--Yannismarou (talk) 08:20, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, that's what that bot wanted. As soon as I saw it was from a bot, I ignored it. Anyway, I'll keep that in mind in the future.  I'll try to finish sourcing the Komnenian section sometime this week, time permitting. Athenean (talk) 19:30, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Athenean, as I told you above I have used throughout the article the Greek edition of "the Byzantines", since it was easier for me to access it (I have it in my hands as a gift from Giorgos), and I did not have to google. So, if it is only 2 citations that you used the English version, I'll search the respective pages of the Greek edition (as I already told you above) and I'll fix them. I hope I'll be able to work on the article tomorrow or after tomorrow. Best, --Yannismarou (talk) 22:53, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Yanni, currently, there is only one citation to the English version, in the "Apex" section. So that should be easy to fix.  But I was planning to use the English version to source the "Komnenian" section, since that version is fully viewable online.  This may then become a problem.  Since the English version is fully available online, but to my knowledge the Greek one isn't, I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to do it the other way around, i.e. replace the Greek version with the English version. Cheers, Athenean (talk) 23:34, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Alternate names
I didn't remove the Turkish name from the Svilengrad article and the section on the origins of Svilengrad covers the etymology of the Turkish name, so there isn't really a need to have it in the lead. Also, there isn't really any evidence that the Turkish name of Svilengrad actually meets the criteria for being included in the lead (10% use in English literature or a former significant Turkish population). You should be familiar with the criteria, as you've applied them creatively yourself. AngBent, on the other hand, has been trying to remove the name from the Ellinochori article altogether (and he's been doing it elsewhere as well).

Also, don't threaten me. With your long and rich history of nationalist POV pushing on Wikipedia, you're not exactly in a position to lecture others on not being neutral. Kostja (talk) 18:37, 29 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Now, now, don't make things up. I didn't say you removed the Turkish name from the article on Svilengrad altogether, just that you removed it from the lede on the grounds that it is already included in the History section. However, in Ellinochori, even though the Bulgarian name is already included in the History section, and its etymology explained, just as in Svilengrad, you edit-warred to keep it in the lede.  It's hypocrisy, there's no talking your way out of it. Now, unlike you, I don't give a hoot whether the Bulgarian name is included in the lede or not, but I just can't stand hypocrisy.


 * By the way, I didn't threaten you, nor did I lecture you "on not being neutral", or any such thing. I just said that if you continue edit-warring, I will report you.  Which is just a simple fact, as that the sun will rise tomorrow.  And considering your rich history of nationalist POV-pushing, as well as the sheer number of reverts, it won't be pretty.  On the other hand I am glad to see the message seems to have gotten through.  Have a nice day. Athenean (talk) 21:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC)


 * You're distorting my actions. I was reinserting the name along with the history section AngBent was removing. This is completely different from the Svilengrad case.


 * You know very well that I wasn't edit warring, you have enough experience with that. And yes, it wouldn't be pretty considering not only your edit warring history which is considerably longer and significant than mine (I, for example, have not had the "honour" of appearing on the ARBMAC page) but also your entirely one sided intervention. Why didn't you warn AngBent for repeatedly removing a relevant name from the article altogether? As for your message, it does seem to have some effect, as the article hasn't been reverted - yet. Kostja (talk) 07:04, 30 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't see why the Bulgarian name needs to go into the lede of Ellinochori, while on the other hand the Turkish name of Svilengrad can't be in the lede. It is the same exact situation on both articles.  And yes, you were edit-warring, if slow-revert warring, and you know that very well.  Be defiant all you want, I don't really care.  But if you continue like this, you will get the "honor" of appearing on WP:ARBMAC, trust me on that.  Unlike you, AngBent doesn't appear to be active lately, nor is he as experienced, and unlike you, I have managed to keep my nose clean lately. So yes, it's definitely in your interest to not push this. Athenean (talk) 07:21, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Byzantine Empire
Hello Athenean. I've read your recent comments on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Byzantine_Empire#What_happened_to_the_lede? Byzantine Empire discussion page] and wanted to let you know that the sentence you previously added to the lead of the entry was probably inspired by the content in the Byzantine Greeks entry (specifically in the "Revival of Hellenism" section). Hope this helps to clarify things (it's the least I could do to show my appreciation for your excellent contributions to the quality management inspection process, regardless of the mistakes that all of us, including myself, can make from time to time). Take care. :-) No. 108 (talk) 21:20, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah yes, that's it. Sourced to Ahrweiler, wonderful, thanks inspector.  By the way, I wanted to ask you, do you know of any good sources on the Macedonian Struggle, the article seems to suffer from a lack of them. Athenean (talk) 21:30, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. I would definitely need time to look into the matter Athenean. But I can tell you right now that the entry in question desperately needs an inspector's touch. No. 108 (talk) 21:54, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Content, not contributor
This comment is not acceptable per WP:CIVIL. If you want to discuss the content, please do so, but stop commenting on E4024's alleged motivations. And bringing Turkey into the issue had absolutely no bearing. Finally, WP:RECENTISM doesn't mean we ignore all recent news; furthermore, it's not even policy. Yes, we need to apply WP:UNDUE (part of WP:NPOV), but the results of national elections hardly count as unimportant. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:17, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Indeed, my bad. But I stand by my point regarding WP:RECENTISM, and I also think it is WP:UNDUE. After all, there are new elections scheduled to be held less than a month from now. By the way, did you see his reply, the bit about "projection"? Athenean (talk) 03:44, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * This has to be seen in the context of E4024's recent commentary such as The Republic of Cyprus Joined the Eurozone, about four years before Greece destroyed it. Such display of anti-Greece POV is naturally going to make a few people wonder about his real intentions. There was a lot of WP:BAIT and WP:BATTLE in that edit summary of E4024 and there are more examples. Such verbal violence in edit summaries is an abuse of the edit-summary system and makes the intended targets to sometimes respond in a suboptimal manner. Perhaps Athenean should not have taken the bait but his questioning of E4024's motives was at least based on solid empirical evidence. Ironically, if as E4023 asserts, Greece has destroyed the eurozone, this solves the problem for Turkey and protects its national honour; you cannot join something that does not exist. And thanks to Greece, nobody can reject your EU application if they have been disbanded, thus giving you precious plausible deniability. Turkey can always assert, after the fact, that she did not want to join such a house of cards in the first place. National Honour saved, mission impossible accomplished. And all thanks to Greece. Who would have imagined. Having said that, this conflict definitely needs to decompress. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 09:15, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough on both comments (regarding E4024's behavior; as behavior, no comment on the political issues)--I know how hard it is to try to act civilly in the face of repeated bad behavior. I wonder if E4024 might be amenable to taking a voluntary break from the topic area just so that things cool off a bit. I'll ask xyr. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:57, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you Qwyrxian. And of course you are completely excused from commenting on my attempt at political humour. :) Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 13:10, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry to occupy your talk page Athenean, but as I have been referred to, here, I need to make a clarification for Dr.K.:

When I wrote the above quoted Edit Summary at the Cyprus article I had already written that the "Republic of Cyprus" entered the Eurozone, (not Cyprus), for two or three times and my edit had been reverted every time. In one of those futile previous tries I even added a reference from an "Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus" official source about the entry of the "Republic of Cyprus" in the Eurozone, without being able to prevent another revert. I even set the embedded "Eurozone" link in the article myself. Without any detriment to anyone's position on the Cyprus dispute, it is sunshine clear that the "Republic of Cyprus" entered the Eurozone and not the island. (If we accepted otherwise then we should possibly delete the Northern Cyprus article in WP.) All of us here know that the TRNC is not part of the Eurozone.

The interesting thing is that now the Cyprus article keeps my last edit on this issue. This means that I was right from the beginning but probably that Edit Summary of mine that Dr.K. quoted above helped people to see it...

Anyhow, I repeat: I am not an "aggressive Turkish nationalist". I am only Turkish, neither nationalist nor aggressive...

All the best,

P.S. As Dr.K. states in his/her own Talk Page, contributions should be taken for their content and the discussions about content should be made in the Talk Pages of the Articles and as I believe in the same I have left some "food for thought" here and there. I hope I receive some feedback at the relevant Article Talk Pages. In the meantime I will devote myself to other activities, if not provoked. Hope this is my last visit here or to any other user's Talk Page. --E4024 (talk) 17:32, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, let's hope for the best. Thank you for your comments. The message at the top of my talk regarding article content discussions is not set in stone, so please feel free to visit my talkpage at any time if I can be of any assistance. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 02:52, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Template
Hi Athenean, keep a close eye on Template:Greek Orthodox Christianity. There's a user not happy with the Albanian entry. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 14:38, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I have to be honest, I am Orthodox myself but not an expert on the Greek Orthodox church. Is its removal correct? Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 17:20, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Of course not. I left an explanation in the template talkpage.  Basically, the "Greek" is meant in a cultural sense.  Any church that conducts mass in Greek can be considered part of Greek Orthodox christianity.  Autocephaly has nothing to do with it.  The Orthodox Church in America is 100% autocephalous, but because it conducts mass in Greek as well as English, no one in their right mind would remove it from the template.  Other churches, such as the Bulgarian and Serbian ones, don't conduct any masses in Greek, therefore no one in their right mind would include them in the template.  But most importantly, the article Greek Orthodox Church mentions the Albanian church, and it sources it to 3-4 different sources, so placement in the template is warranted on those grounds alone, let alone the rest. Thanks for keeping an eye out. Athenean (talk) 09:55, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Jup Kastrati
Jup Kastrati (1924-2002) is a reknowned philologist, basically the founder of the Luigj Gurakuqi University of Shkoder, or one of the main figures of academic research in philological studies in that city. Mesfushor (talk) 22:53, 9 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Interesting, what kind of stuff has he published? Maybe he can tell us how the Albanian "Dy"+"rrahe" somehow became the "Durres" via a Slavic intermediary? Because toponyms don't generally go from Albanian --> Slavic --> back to Albanian. Athenean (talk) 09:22, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * It's just a question of interpreting through Illyrian->Slavic->Albanian. I'm not a scholar though, so we have to rely on him and others. He has notably published the History of Albanology (1497-1997) in three volumes. Mesfushor (talk) 14:30, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * "Dy" and "rrahe" are Albanian, not Illyrian, as far as I can tell. We don't know what the Illyrian words for "two and "ridge" were in Illyrian.  Which seems to imply that modern Albanian was spoken in antiquity. Weird. Athenean (talk) 14:41, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not a specialist, and my knowledge in linguistics is limited. In general lack of specialized studies and limited writings (i.e. evidence) in Illyrian for several centuries make the study difficult, however toponymy and Classical Greece authors are mainly the sources for certain deductions. It'd be good to have this book available to read more about Illyrian-Albanian languages continuity, but I haven't read it. Kastrati and Demiraj are reliable sources since their scholarship is proven, whereas I wouldn't bring to Wikipedia amateur historians such as Spiro Konda, Robert d'Angely, or Mathieu Aref, whose contributions have historically not been endorsed by the Academy of Sciences of Albania.

Muslims
The Turks of Western Thrace article says the Greek govt. since 1983 deems them Greeks not Turks. It's sourced. Can you clarify? DeCausa (talk) 19:59, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, the Greek government refers to them as "Hellenic Muslims". But that's just the Greek government, which moreover does so for political purposes.  However, I have yet to see a reliable source that considers them part of the Greek ethnic group (not the "Greek nation", as the Greek government does).  I have removed "nation" from the lede, to make clear that the article is about ethnic Greeks, not people of Greek nationality (which would include the Turks of Western Thrace).  It is quite cleat that the article is about ethnic Greeks, not Greek citizens, which is why the Turkish minority, the Roma, etc... are not mentioned.  They are mentioned in Greece however, which is the article regarding the Greek nation so to speak. Athenean (talk) 20:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

"Cannot see"
I'm not sure where you looked, or if at all, and given that I'm at a 'read only' status at AMs, I will provide you with the full quote of the data you removed here : It was only after the death of Alexander the Great with the increasing Hellenization of Macedonian culture and the emergence of Rome... Pg: 168 (bottom line) -> 169 (top line). If you are the fair man you say you are, then re-instate the phrase in good faith. Slovenski Volk (talk) 09:39, 13 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I cannot view page 168 online for some reason, which is kind of strange since I used to be able to. But I will assume good faith on your part and reinstate said wording anyway. Athenean (talk) 19:19, 13 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Cheers. Yep, google books can change, sometimes even stop previews. Anyway, thanks. I shall take time off for what looks liek a long time. I will devote some time to other Balkan history article. Feel free to comment Slovenski Volk (talk) 12:28, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Turkey
The situation at the Turkey article is unfortunate in many respects. However, do not accuse other editors of being sock or meat puppets in edit summaries as you did here. If it's that "obvious", then file a report at WP:SPI.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:57, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Athenean, you might be interested in this discussion. Any ideas as to how to deal with this kind disruption? Kurdo777 (talk) 17:06, 16 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Something's definitely not right. He just appeared out of nowhere and started reverting everyone everywhere.  Unfortunately I am not sufficiently familiar with the topic area to know whose sock he is yet.  But I will file an SPI as soon as I figure it out.  Meanwhile said user is behaving extremely disruptively, he is basically a revert-only account and highly incivil at that, labeling everything he doesn't like "vandalism" (red flag!).  I think I'm going to open an thread at ANI and see what the community thinks.  Stay tuned. Athenean (talk) 17:35, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I'll come around too when you do that. Apart from his other problems Stijena today did not discuss the issues on the talkpage of Turkey but blindly edit-warred. A few days ago he revenge edit-warred on my talkpage copying back the messages I gave him for his wanton edit-warring on multiple articles. Something has to be done systemically about this disruption. Aren't there any ARBMAC sanctions covering his behaviour? Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 18:19, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Compromise on Tenedos
Please see newest proposal for a compromise solution along the lines of many other similar places with similar naming situations. Really interested in any input. AbstractIllusions (talk) 13:21, 20 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Please immediately delete your accusations against me in the Tenedos discussion. I contacted two previous commenters (DarkLordSeth and Future Perfect) on name change requests because I appreciated both of there critical looks at the evidence.  DarkLordSeth previously SUPPORTED a name request, and FuturePerect previously OPPOSED a name request.  I aimed for that balance intentionally and for you to accuse me of trying to stack the deck is not appreciated.  I contacted two users who I think would provide good insights into the discussion and who have voted for different sides in the past.  I'm giving this a break while I travel for the next day or so, but I would greatly appreciate if that erroneous allegation were removed.   Thank you.  AbstractIllusions (talk) 20:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Athenean, to my mind it's OK to call Tenedos Bozcaada. It's the official name after all, but I understand where you are coming from. What should be done is to expand the Turkification article to include a list of all the Turkified names with their original historical ones. If you are feeling artistic, you should create a visual template with a nice Greek icon (ionic column?) with text  is historical  to produce something like Bozcaada is historical Tenedos. Don't forget there are pre-Greek names too and Armenian ones in the east as well and so on. A visual eyecatching template is a fair compromise especially for a very famous historical place like Homer's Tenedos. Perhaps an image of Homer should be the icon. HelenOfOz (talk) 12:16, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Xenophon as inspiration for Alexander
Hi Athenean. It's a long story so I will make no attempt to fill you in about the background. A disclaimer first: You are under no obligation to spend any time on this, but if you are so inclined, could you possibly give your opinion about this statement: Alexander surely had knowledge of the Anabasis, which served at the very least as an obvious military inspiration, when one considers his march east across the Tigris (Green 1970) contained in this edit: diff. Could a statement along these lines, modified of course etc., be added to the Xenophon article? My thanks in advance. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 03:28, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Spa activity
It appears that this obssesive move request on Tenedos is a product of combined spa accounts (newly created or anonymous).

This makes me believe that we have just the reincarnation of an old troublemaker.Alexikoua (talk) 21:23, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Hi there, I am unable to view the inscriptions because my browser doesn't like the applet, but even if I were able to do so, I think you would be far better off finding a reliable source that discusses them rather than relying on my interpretation of them :) Athenean (talk) 07:49, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Greece infobox
Hello Athenian. You may want to pay attention to Greece's infobox. Two users, from neighbouring countries (I suspect not the best intentions in their editing), try to establish 2012 GDP data estimates, when in fact it is well known in Wikipedia that we always include previous years data (in our case 2011) until the next year is over. All countries, at least the very vast majority, have 2011 data for the economic figures. We need to keep consistency. It cant be that 99% of the countries articles have 2011 data and only Greece and Bulgaria (the user is from this country) have 2012 data. Thanks. Nochoje (talk) 17:12, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

I can see this becoming a major new source of obsession.  Or maybe you just need to be less paranoid and assume good faith for once (to his credit, Nableezy already has).

Human rights in Turkey
About "European Union standards of minority language in courts" I have examined and tried hard to find those standards are, but in vein. European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages seems to be the most widely applicable standard, as far as I can find. Do you know, or would you like to search which "standards" are meant there? In any case, the Charter does not look like something inferior to the EU applications, since there are criticisms to the EU members for non-compliance with the Charter. I think we need to confirm this information ("non-compliance with EU standards") from another source in addition to the one by a single journalist. It is not in DW, Reuters, Hürriyet, etc. but let me know what you can find. Do you agree with me that this single journalist is not enough and we need confirmation? Filanca (talk) 00:49, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * No I don't agree. When you added that journalist, you obviously thought she was a reliable source.  Now that you've realized that what she writes does not conform to your agenda, all of a sudden she's "not enough".  The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages has nothing to do with the EU by the way, it is signed by many countries that are not EU members. Athenean (talk) 00:58, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Ancient Macedonian language sources
Hi Athenean! Please have a look on the collection of sources I've made for the article. It needs a refresh with recent material and a good summary of the various theories. I feel we have to make a clear distinction between historians and linguists, as well as assumptions and real arguments. I have still a lot of contributions to make, but I think I have already covered a big part of modern views on the matter. Fkitselis (talk) 22:18, 8 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Even the polishing is very welcome. If there's a lot to be edited it is always good with som extra eyes on the syntax. In any case, I have a long way to go. I want first to collect all sources available and capture a snapshot of the current situation. I know that the article is trying to be very balanced and it is, but it does need an update considering the latest views. Also, some contributions have not been as giving as others. For example, Bonfante (with great respect to his other work) does not qualify as a meaningful contribution. Also, Hoffmans theory is way outdated. We can mention him for historical reasons, but not as a view shared by linguists today. Also, old Thracian theories are obsolete too. Thracian was clearly a satem language with very different features than Macedonian (except maybe the voiceless stops, IF they were voiceless). That doesn't mean Thracians didn't live in Macedon of course. Well, I think you get my main point. Fkitselis (talk) 11:59, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Byzantine Empire, lead
I have reverted your change to the lead. You accused me of trying to "own" the article than pronounced you would change it. What you changed was supported by multiple editors. Give them more then 5 hours to respond. — Sowlos 23:38, 13 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The previous version of that part of the lede was the consensus version. I don't see any support or even discussion for your lumping of the Macedonian dynasty and Manzikert in the same sentence.  Also, I don't see you object to the other changes I proposed and made, so what's with the blanket revert? Athenean (talk) 23:42, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of Content / Wikipedia is not a battleground
You have deleted parts of Turkey-related articles. I had to fix it in both cases. Given that you are one of the main contributors in various Turkey-related articles such as Turkey, Constantinople Massacre of 1821, Human rights in Turkey, Racism and discrimination in Turkey, Greek Genocide, Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and Anatolia, please be more careful before deleting content and try to find reliable sources first. This "delete first and ask questions later" is not helpful and does not improve Wikipedia articles. You also give no chance to people actually finding sources, since few people are as active as you are in various Turkey-related articles, and since you just delete content, without even tagging let alone finding sources yourself.

The only time you seem to be adding content and/or sources seems to be when it comes to adding something in a negative context such as this. Remember Wikipedia is not a battleground Cavann (talk) 00:49, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The only time "you seem to be adding content and/or sources seems to be when it comes to adding something in a negative context"? What a wild and unfounded accusation, and stunning bad faith assumption.  FYI, I have done a LOT of good work on Turkey related articles, such as       .  I could go on and on and on.  This is exactly the same situation as Istanbul, where you rushed to judgment against tariqabjotu and assumed bad faith against him, only to realize that it was he who was singlehandedly responsible for raising the article to FA.  I strongly urge you to assume good faith on the part of your fellow wikipedians, not rush to judgment, and remain civil (no more "learn to read", please).


 * As for Taqi al Din's observatory, I'm not sure what you mean by "negative", his observatory was unfortunately burned down, and that's a fact. What would you have me do, hide that information from our readers?  Why, because you don't like it?  Should we also remove mention of the Armenian Genocide from wikipedia because it is "negative"?  As long as something is well-sourced, on-topic, and given due weight, it can be added to an article, there is no such thing as "positive" and "negative".  The fact that you think in terms of "positives" and "negatives" shows that it is you who has a POV problem, not me.


 * Regarding sourcing, you are either not aware or misunderstanding or not aware of wikipedia's sourcing policies. The key policy is WP:V: "Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed. Whether and how quickly this should happen depends on the material and the overall state of the article."  The way I apply this policy is as follows:  If I see something unsourced or poorly sourced that sounds like nonsense, I remove it.  This was the case with the Mehmed II at Troy stuff, because the site of Troy wasn't even identified until 1822.  However here, where I thought the claim was plausible, I didn't remove it, I tagged it with a cn tag.  So your claim that I "just delete content, without even tagging" is a lie. I have been applying WP:V in this manner for years now, stand by it, and will continue to do so in the future.  You will also notice that nowhere does WP:V state that the user who challenges the unsourced material is under obligation to go looking for a source. "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material.  WP:V suggests that the user who challenges the material try to find a source, but that is only a suggestion, not an obligation, and even then only if one thinks the material is verifiable, which in the Troy case I didn't think it was. Again, I suggest you start assuming good faith and remember, wikipedia is not a battleground. Athenean (talk) 05:45, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * As for my removals regarding Ali Qushji, surely you will agree that the material I removed had nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire. You found a source that shows he was influential in the Ottoman Empire?  Excellent!  But nowhere does it say that was I obliged to do so. Athenean (talk) 05:47, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Of course you are not under any obligation. However, as one of the main editors in various Turkey-related articles, your constructive editing would help. You seem to be involved in so many articles revolving around issues related to Greece, such as Turkey or Albania or Macedonia-related content.
 * For example, you seem to be very concerned about minorities (or given your contributions in Greek Genocide), yet you delete information like this  (Justin McCarty estimates). I re-added this information, with the correct numbers . If it was not for this , or if I hadn't gone through your edits in Ottoman Empire today (and I just got to the 2nd page with 500 edits), I would not have known.


 * Another example, whenever you revert something, either Dr.K. or Proudbolsahye seems to follow you. I understand editors may have similar interests and opinions, but this could be a problem with respect to WP:Canvass (a recent example: you get into a pointless edit war with Maurice07, and Dr.K. magically shows up , even tho he had never edited that article before ).


 * Another example is when you cited me WP:SS with respect to lead, yet, another article where you are one of the main contributors, Racism and discrimination in Turkey, is a disaster when it comes to its lead, with entire quotes and everything in the very lead.


 * In short, given that there is a relevant Arbitration case, Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2, in which Turkey was part of the issues, and that Wikipedia is not a battleground, you should be extra careful about being neutral. I don't wanna spend too much time in your talk page, so this will prolly be the last time I'm writing to you. I'll assume good faith and I hope we can improve the articles. Cavann (talk) 02:07, 4 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I "magically follow up" all sockpuppeteer vandals like your friend Maurice07. Or didn't you know? Refer to Sockpuppet investigations/Maurice07. So before you put my username in your personal attacks again make sure who your friends are. And by the way this is a wiki. Your contributions are visible to everyone who cares to look. This is how I found you making bigoted comments against Greek editors on the Systemic bias noticeboard. I see you haven't learned. I suggest that you do so.

 * 23 April 2013 was indeed before the SPI. But do you seriously think the SPI came out of the blue? Check Maurice's socks. I had started tagging them since 26 February 2013‎. That was a long investigation. As far as saying what you wanted to say don't be surprised with what the people you accuse have to say in return to your sayings.

 * @Cavann: I don't appreciate you coming here and insinuating "You seem to be involved in so many articles revolving around issues related to Greece, such as Turkey or Albania or Macedonia-related content." Yeah, and? What's your point? Many of these articles are plagued by ultranationalists, as you can imagine. My edits are constructive, and I don't appreciate insinuations that they aren't.  I have been editing for six years, I must be doing something right.  Also please don't come here lecturing me that I need to be neutral, do you realize how patronizing that sounds?  What about you, are you neutral? Is Justin McCarthy neutral? Regarding Racism and discrimination in Turkey, no, with 3 edits I am not "one of the main contributors.  As for canvassing, there is none on my part.  Contribs logs are publicly viewable, and Maurice07 is a particularly disruptive nationalist editor, so it wouldn't surprise me that many people are following his contribs.  I do appreciate you saying you will assume good faith, though, and that you will try to improve articles.  I will do so likewise. Athenean (talk) 04:30, 6 May 2013 (UTC)


 * It seems you are continuing the type of behaviour I explained in the first post in this section, based on frivolous reasons such as coming up with blatantly incorrect definitions of Western Anatolia  or applying a geographic standard that is not applied to other parts of the article  (my response ) to disassociate relevant events to present your own POV in the article.

Falsification of sources
Akcak 2012 does not define "Turkification" as the text you added suggests. More explanation:  See WP:Verifiability. Also see article talk page: Any future attempts at falsifying sources will be referred to ARBCOM. Cavann (talk) 19:10, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Four of the five source use "Turkification", so go ahead and run to ARBCOM all you want. By the way it's "Akcam", not "Akcak".  Athenean (talk) 19:12, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * That is why I had suggested this "If you want to add Turkification to this part "During World War I, the government of the Committee of Union and Progress continued with population policies to homogenize the population of Anatolia, which effected non-Turkish minorities, such as the Armenians during the Armenian Genocide and the Greeks during various campaigns of ethnic cleansing and expulsion" you have to take out Akcak 2012 and 2005 as sources, since his definition is different. You may also wanna add a qualifier since definition of Turkification is different in Akcak, Jwaideh, and Samuel than Rummel's" . But your pattern of ignoring NPOV is clearly ongoing. Cavann  (talk) 19:14, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * It's quite obvious Akcam (with an "m") is talking about Turkification, see WP:BLUESKY. But if that's what it will take to prevent your edit-warring, I will remove him. There's enough sources anyway. Athenean (talk) 19:20, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * It is quite weird that you cite WP:BLUESKY, when the author clearly defines the term in p.29:


 * "The two main pillars of this policy,which can be characterized as the government’s “population and resettlement policy,” were as follows: the first entailed the “cleansing” of Anatolia’s non-Muslim (which basically meant Christian) population, who were considered a mortal threat to the state and even described as a “cancer” in the body of the empire; the second was the assimilation (read: Turkification) of all of Anatolia’s non-Turkish Muslim communities."


 * Are you editing without reading the sources, or does falsifying sources come so easily to you? If you want to use the term "Turkification" in that manner, you also have to add qualifiers, since it is not a uniformly defined term, and since we already have Turkification in the lead, which is used in a different manner. If you are defining "Turkification" as forced assimilation and/or ethnic cleansing, etc, in the body of the article, then this part in the lead "However, it was the arrival of Seljuk Turks which also brought the Turkish language and Islam into Anatolia in the 11th century, which started the process of Turkification of various peoples in the region" becomes obvious POV-pushing, and certainly not WP:BLUESKY. Cavann (talk) 19:34, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Very well, I will add "forcible" to Turkification. Ethnic cleansing and genocide are a form of forcible Turkification.  By the way, watch your tone, "does falsifying sources come so easily to you?" is highly incivil, and an assumption of bad faith.  Remember what I told you on your talkpage. Athenean (talk) 19:41, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * "forcible" Turkification is forcible assimilation according to Jwaideh, and Samuel. I thought "population policies to homogenize the population of Anatolia" complied with all the sources and conveyed the message accurately. However, if you want to use the term Turkification so badly, I suggest something like violent Turkification of Anatolia through ethnic cleansing, etc, and take out Akcam 2012 and 2005 as sources from that sentence, since his definition of Turkification is different. I still think "population policies to homogenize the population of Anatolia" is more accurate and you do not have to take out any source. Cavann (talk) 19:55, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * "Violent Turkification through ethnic cleansing" is redundant and needlessly verbose considering "ethnic cleansing" is already mentioned in the sentence. It is quite obvious to any of our readers that the Turkification mentioned in this sentence is "violent" and "forcible". Athenean (talk) 20:55, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Dassaretae
I am not confusing nothing, you from your side are trying to invent an non-existing "Greek" tribe between Berat and Korce just were the Illyrina tribe is described. And what do you mean by "old sources"? So, according to You Strabo is not relevant? I have Strabo's work in front of me, Dassaretae are mentioned only in "Illyria" book. As far as for the administrators, they can handle the case, it is fine for me. If they say that I am wrong and Dassaratae were greek, still fine for me. I will try to inform all constructive people that want to contribute to Albanian articles about this issue, the lack of interest from the editors have led to you and your colleague (the other editor who always shares the same opinion with you) messing up all Albania-related articles. This in not anymore about choosing Greek vs Albanian, this is about you inventing things without any single citation or clear reference. Despite your attempts to present the Dassaretae (today's Berat area) as Greek,it can not change what Strabo says. You can go in Berat and ask what they are.

One more thing, why don't go and read the references and tell me what you think before reverting stuff. I'll wait for your answer after you read them before reverting your changes. Mondiad (talk) 21:48, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Parts of Greece shown as Albanian in some of the Albanian-made maps used in Wikipedia.
Some of the Maps used in various Wiki articles, have the borders between Albania and Greece moved, and have the Greek territories incorrectly shown as Albanian. How to fix them? There is a problematic map used in the Sarande article for example, which shows part of Greece's Thesprotia prefecture under Albanian authority: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarand%C3%AB_District

More specifically, the map of our subject is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sarand%C3%AB_District.svg

There is a strip of land between Corfu and Greece in Thesprotia, which is shown as Albanian instead of Greek. To understand the difference, you can check the Greek map, here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epirus_%28region%29#mediaviewer/File:Epirus_-_municipalities_and_seats_EN.svg which properly shows the yellow western-most land strip of the Filiates Region as part of Greece.

How can this be corrected? I have failed to find how to replace a picture in Wiki Commons. I could be grateful for any help or response, as I lack your experience in fixing stuff in Wikipedia! Thanks! --SilentResident (talk) 09:23, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Regarding your recent edits in the `Albania` article
Your revert in the article about Albania was abusive. It is true that the phrase was written twice, however it is even more true that that paragraph belongs in the demographic section ( since it is about demographic information be that linguistic or regarding ethnicity) , and not in the language section. Gjirokastra15 (talk) 19:36, 23 November 2014 (UTC)


 * There is nothing abusive about my edit. The sentence is about language, so it belongs in the language section.  I've been looking at your edits and it seems you have something of an obsession trying to minimize the numbers of the Greek minority in Albania.  I suggest you change your attitude otherwise things will not go well for you. Athenean (talk) 20:32, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

I am neither minimazing neither inflating anything, otherwise you are more than welcome to bring any evidence that you have. I believe you understand that you phrase touches the borders of WP:NPA and WP:HAR and is especially ironical coming from a person with a revert history such of yours. This particular revert has been bookmarked btw. I hope however that after a 1 year absence, you will be able to establish again? a philosophy of consensus and collaboration. As you see all the numbers are there as you left them, said otherwise my attitude will remain the same. Regards, Gjirokastra15 (talk) 20:51, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

 * It means that any further edit in the article about Albania within 24 hours (ofc not in the case of reverting a vandalism) will lead to minimally a 24 hour block . However i am not willing to continue this, technically speaking you are correct ... Just take it easy ,  your revert history shows in fact you , having an obsession with Albania and not the other way around . Gjirokastra15 (talk) 21:50, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Jagged 85's return?
Your recent edit to Spherical Earth raised the possibility that Jagged 85 has returned to Wikipedia, editing as an IP sockpuppet.

Athenean please explain why you deleted a edit regarding the Albanian community in Ioannina. I have added a very credible source, that of Arthur Foss who served with Napolean Zervas' forces. He is an impartial observer and yes he came across Albanians during his travels in Ionannina. That a Albanian community existed during until the 1970s, whatever their numbers is important considering that Muslims once made up a substantial portion of the city's population and that people wanting to know about that community in Ioannina should be mentioned. Today in Ionanina the Jewish community is very small, but nonetheless they are mentioned in the article. Why not the Albanians ? In your the edit you state that that i have "Misuse of sources: twenty families is not a "sizable" community by any stretch". If that is the issue, then my edit should NOT have been deleted by any stretch, yet instead that "sizable" should have been substituted for "small". Otherwise something else is at work here. So Athenean please explain ?

With that good edit, your now going to have to keep a close eye on changes in the article
Athenean

Your edit regarding the Persecution of Ottoman Muslims was in order. But in doing so you are going to have to keep an constant eye on the article from now on. The reason why i added the other stuff was due to Serbian editors (Zoupan and AntiDiscriminator) insisting upon the "settler" sentence regarding Albanians staying. I said to them, ok with the addition that it is stated that it is one of two positions regarding the Albanian presence matter. Otherwise it POV pushing, if one position stood and the other did not. Its why the rest, i added. My preferences and the way i wrote it initially began from the point as it stands now with your deletion. So, other editors may try adding the "settler" sentence again. If so, you will need to delete it. If not, i will add the other bit. It is backed by a Western peer reviewed journal article in what i wrote about tit being two positions. So keep an eye out for POV pushing.

Best

A wikipedia user, is trying to blackmail me! Any advice?
Dear Athenean, I am sorry for bothering you (and Dr. K) right now, but the user Rolandi+ is trying to blakcmail me now, in the Talk: Albanians, he threatened me twice:

"So revert your edits about the albanians in turkey,or I will report you after that ANI"

and

"I may be blocked for this topic,but this doesn't mean that I can't report you for your vandalism.So go and delete your edits about albanians in turkey"

If I didn't misunderstood, isn't this a warning or threat? Isn't he warning me that if I don't undo his reverted POV edits, I will get reported? Isn't that a blackmail? How should I respond to his blackmails? What is the appropriate action for such cases in Wikipedia? I am asking for your and Dr. K's advices, as I am not sure myself what to do. :( --SilentResident (talk) 11:23, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I just united my voice with the rest of the people asking for Rolandi+'s ban. --SilentResident (talk) 12:23, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Regarding the Edits
"Please explain why here [1] you omitted several crucial aspects from the source, namely that both Greek and Orthodox Albanians fled, and that they espoused a Greek national consciousness before leaving. There had better be an excellent justification for this, otherwise this is source falsification, which is becoming very tiresome and needs to stop immediately. Athenean (talk) 20:48, 23 July 2015 (UTC)"

Athenean, do you see me saying no to adding the Greek aspect to it. No. Did i not say in the talk page to assist in the edits. All you said was not to anything. My peer reivwed edits were languishing. You want to add Greeks and alos fleeing the regime to the bit about Orthodox Albanians fleeing and going to Greece by all means. But the bit about Orthodox Albanians and them espousing a Greek national consciousness is important as it shows what their views regarding themselves and identity was at that point in time from the region. The justification is more than there. This goes against the usual Albanian Rilindja falsehood that Orthodox Albanians had an Albanian consciousness. I have said this many times, i don't do nationalism.Resnjari (talk) 21:07, 23 July 2015 (UTC)


 * And I appreciate that, however the problem is that you are not reproducing what the sources say accurately. In future please try to be more careful when you quote a source. Athenean (talk) 21:09, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Athenean, the proposed edits have languished there for many, many weeks and no one was doing anything about it after i repeatedly asked for input in good faith. What was i supposed to do, wait and wait and wait till say 2017. LOL ! Wikipedia policy does say to do the following BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. So by going through policy, things are finally being discussed and i have provided the inline citations so that sentences can reflect the source material and be reproduced more accurately if you feel they need to be. I focus on what i think is important (i can not think of covering everything. Wikipedia is group collaboration after all). Then you should make your proposals on what you think is important (or needs rewriting or retweaking). Then we can reach a middle ground. You might even convince me that some bits are not needed (must be explained. I will not except the "irrelevant" reason with no further explanation). I have been saying this for a very long time now. The stuff i have brought is peer reviewed and relates to the topic. The article needs a overhaul. Best its done with me then other Albanian editors, for obvious reasons, unless you all would want to deal with them ?). Because of my contribution, the Souliots article has not been tampered with and has been at peace now for some weeks without vandalism (a first !). The Chams Albanian page (apart from some recent edits which i had to point out to that editor were not needed) no longer has POV issues and has balance (that satisfies both Greeks and Albanians). The Northern Epirus article needs some issues to be taken care of. Your input is needed, but don't say no for the sake of saying no. Its what i have said to you for many months now (and in other articles) and in good faith. Lets focus on the content and make the article right.Resnjari (talk) 23:03, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Constant IP changes and POV edits over a number of pages by an anonymous user
Hello Athenean. it came to my notice that an anonymous user is constantly is changing his IP, goes into edit-revert wars with everyone and avoids the 3-revert limit by changing his IP, and makes edits that are clearly political disputes and personal POVs to the following pages: Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and Bartholomew I of Constantinople. The problem with his edits is that he is removing the edits (and sources) by the other users and does add his own sources instead in an attempt to elevate a political dispute between the Russian Church and the Ecumenical Patriarch in order to diminish the Spiritual Leadership of the Ecumenical Patriarch. Clearly his actions show that he is promoting pro-Russian POV (which do not reflect the the rest of the Orthodox world) and he does so in an way that the neutrality in the page is not maintained, by behaving as if he is the owner of the page (Wikipedia: Ownership of Content). So far, the anonymous user has changed his/her IP address 3 times: 45.33.137.135, 45.33.138.145, and 45.33.137.60. And made his edits to these pages using all these IPs. I do not mean to bother you, but can you look at this? Thank you. --SilentResident (talk) 22:22, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, got some little assistance from wiki users in re-wording his POV edits into a more appropriate wording, based on the information from the sources. Everything seems good now. Have a good night. :) --SilentResident (talk) 19:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Translation
Roughly or there abouts "Check the Permet page. I need views about grammar matters." I waited and no one replied. I also did it for the Albanian article version. As Burridheut does not have a talk page Albanian Wikipedia, i contacted him that way and yes in Albanian as i want input for the article on Albanian Wikipedia. People on Albanian Wikipedia have left me messages in English from other Wikiepdias. I then went and did the alterations to Permet. I am not sure about doing more on Albanian Wikipedia. They may not agree with my spelling. I have asked Burridheut to assist me with terminology regarding the Orthodox church in the past also. My Albanian is not the best(i have never been to Albanian school, i was born and live in Melbourne) as admins on Albanian wikipedia would tell you regarding articles and me asking people them in particular to assist. If you know Albanian please assist. I have asked multiple times for help with grammar and there are many articles. Any other queries that i can assist with?Resnjari (talk) 07:10, 5 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Somehow I doubt that. Could you please translate what you wrote word for word?  Because I find it really strange that both Mondiad and this "Internationel00" account voted in favor of the name change at Aoos within minutes of you posting on their talkpage. Athenean (talk) 07:35, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Athenean, i said for them to check the Permet page and to take a good look at it. No one answered and i did edits on the English and Albanian pages. It was in relation to Permet. Note the words Permet. I made no mention of Vjosa and Aoos if that is what you are implying. By the way my contributions page is open for all to see as i see you have been looking at it. If you have so have others and yes i have been active on the Vjosa page. Sometimes one looks at the page of a contributors and acts upon it. If you have anything you think that should be taken up in the appropriate forums, take it up there. I gave you my answer. Thankyou.Resnjari (talk) 13:13, 5 November 2015 (UTC)


 * You are avoiding answering my question, which, together with Google translate tells me everything I need to know.  You didn't ask them for "Help with grammar" or any such bullshit, you asked them to !vote for the name change.  This constitutes WP:CANVAS and is frowned upon by the wikipedia community.  You did so in a roundabout way, avoiding mention of the name Aoos/Vjosa, and probably thought you were sooooo incredibly clever, however these idiots ruined it by casting their !vote within minutes of you canvassing them.  In general admins don't block for canvassing (otherwise I would have reported you long ago, believe me), and the move request is doomed to fail anyway, so I won't be taking you to ANI this time.  However, I will make a note of what you did on the talkpage of Aoos so the closing admin is aware of your shenanigans.  Again, not that it will make a difference, because the move request has a snowball's chance in hell. Athenean (talk) 17:33, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Armenian Issue
Dear Athenean,

Regarding your |recent edits in Turkey, I would like to ask you to take a more professional stance in line with your experience and contributions to Wikipedia. The Armenian issue is an exaggerated claim by some in the Armenian community who would like ot take advantage of the tragedies of WWI. According to them it was a genocide and according to Turks (such as myself) it was a deportation. Both views need to be heard if Wikipedia is to remain a neutral online encyclopedia.

Turkish population
Dear Athenean, recently you have reverted my edits on Turkish population and Turks in Europe your reasons for this has been that I am a "POV-pusher" but all my edits have been sourced. Can you give me an example of which sources were "POV-pushing"?

Whilst reverting my edit on the Turkish population see this version you have in fact removed census figures based on ethnicity and instead you have included figures of Turkish citizens (which includes Kurds, Laz etc.)... Ironically, some of the figures in the current version are inflated e.g. Turkey now reads as "77,695,904" but this is all Turkish citizens (including Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Kurds etc.) but ethnic Turks actually make up 55-60 million. I would really appreciate working with you on this, I really can't be bothered with edit wars. Best,  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 13:47, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Hellenisation page
Hi, I have notice that you have undone my revisions on the Hellenisation section on the Alexander the Great page, and when you undid th revision gave the reason POV pushing. However I must disagree as while you undid the revision you kept the sources, and it was I that added those courses to support what I had written. Thus, what is currently written is not supported by any of the sources, or any scholarship. Furthermore, I fail to see how I was pushing my point of view, I was entirely fair and was not trying to detract from any side, I was simply reflecting modern scholarship on the matter and thus was not pushing my point of view. Indeed what you have replaced my revision with is entirely inaccurate, again I can understand your concern that my edit was perhaps an instance of historical revisionism; however it is not. I was simply correcting the section due to the addition of the mount Meru bit, keeping the original sources which are in no way relevant even contradicting the point made about mount Meru. Indeed, on the issue of mount Meru that is traditional Hindu "cosmology" (as it was describing the universe, not the solar system) and was not accepted beyond explaining the metaphysical universe, in traditional Indian astronomy/astrology; however, the use of a heliocentric planetary model with elliptical orbits was favored until the arrival of the Ptolemaic model which proved very popular as the arithmetic was simpler and yielded equally accurate results with the relatively inaccurate data available at the time. I will refrain from making any more edits until we resolve this issue, please do contact me soon as i want to settle this amiably and with no further disagreements. Looking forward to hearing from you. Bodha2 (talk) 15:51, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
