"Hrisi Avgi" origin of name
I see you have removed the origin I provided for the name of Greeek ultra-nationalist organisation Hrisi Avgi. (I wrote: "The name derives from the era of dictator Ioannis Metaxas, whose regime promised a new, golden dawn for Greek civilisation, following the glories of antiquity.") Could you, then, please explain what you believe to be the correct origin of their name? The Gnome 05:55, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Grivas biography
This is the relevant section from the Karousos interview in Vima regarding Grivas' anti-junta activities:

"Συγκρότησε στην Ελλάδα αντιστασιακή Οργάνωση. Αποκαλύφθηκε και διώχθηκε με τους συνεργάτες του (Οπρόπουλος-Μουστακλής-Λύτρας, κύπριοι επιστήμονες και φοιτητές). Μετά τη ναυάγηση της προσπάθειάς του αυτής και με σύμφωνη γνώμη αντιστασιακών προσωπικοτήτων αποδέχθηκε αποστολή καθόδου του στην Κύπρο για επιβοήθηση Οργάνωσης από εκεί νέας αντιστασιακής προσπάθειας, σε συνδυασμό με πολιτική επιδίωξη της Ενωσης."

This information is confirmed in other text, including first hand infromation from Griva's colleagues in the anti-junta movement and even acknowledged by Makarios Drousiotis in his own books.Larisv 12:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

About the see also in the KKE page
Hi. I saw your edit in the KKE page. Please note that there is a see also under the appropriate section in the article. Moreover, there is a link in the party's sidebar. The see also for KNE at the end of the page is really unnecessary. Please if you don't agree, before you revert it again, discuss it with me or in the article's talk page. Friendly, Magioladitis 09:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:HA610.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:HA610.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Argos ' Dad  04:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Non-free image removed from your user page
Hello, Mitsos. I've removed Image:Paologo.jpg from your user page, as it is a copyrighted image that is not available under a sufficiently free license and is therefore being used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. Unfortunately, by Wikipedia policies, no non-free images can be used on user pages; please see the ninth item of the Wikipedia non-free content policy and Removal of fair use images. This image has not been deleted from any articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 06:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Kudret abi 19:02, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Kudret abi 23:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:171106-flag.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:171106-flag.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 15:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Χρυσή Αυγή = Chrysi Avyi
Hi.

Perhaps you are not familiar with el->en transliteration, but Hrisi Avgi is certainly incorrect. Innacurate may be a better word and pretty dense, really. χ is transliterated as ch when it precedes a consanant: hence, Χρήστος becomes Christos and Ψυχράμη accordingly becomes Psychrami. Similarly, Χαράλαμπος is better as Haralambos rather than Charalambos (which is still often used (mistakenly, in my view)). English words deriving from Greek follow this rule (oligarchy from ολιγαρχία, anarchy from αναρχία)

As for γ, in cases where it precedes ε and ι sounds (not necessarily the same letters), it is usually transliterated as y (Γιάννης -> Yannis; Παναγιώτης -> Panayotis). Having said that, Giannis and Panagiotis are still utilised, which is extremely lazy and ignorant, in my view. I have spoken in the past with professional el,->en translators who agree. Transliteration is a matter of transferring the sounds of one language to another as best as possible. The fact that γι/γε do not sound as gi/ge obviously reflect this.

And finally, υ can acceptably be transcribed as i, but an art of transliteration is that one can know and recognise a letter in its origin language - using y for υ is already in practise and differentiates it from ι.

My good work on grammatical errors, unnecessary tautological sentences (that was somewhat tautological in itself, wasn't it?), re-wording, and additional information was reverted, which i feel is a bit inane. I shall revert the article back to how I did it.

Meetup in Athens
Hello! I'd like to turn the first meetup of Wikipedians in Athens, Greece to your attention. We're a group of students involving three German Wikipedia admins and have set up this meetup for March 31st, 6:00 PM (18:00). The location is (to be exspected) the Ama Lachi. We'd very much like seeing as many Wikipedians from Greece as possible. We'd also like some help with the setup of the meeting; we need a contactsman in Athens. Yours, Sarazyn &bull; 丁人LK &bull; DE 13:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Ian front.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Ian front.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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), 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.

File permission problem with File:HA610.jpg

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

Non-free rationale for File:HA1cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:HA1cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
