Hello, I'm DatGuy. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Idalion Tablet with this edit, without explaining why.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Dat GuyTalkContribs 17:36, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I can expand the lede in the following 24h. I also believe the figurines section should be trimmed, while the existing part, as it is, can become a new seperate article. What's your opinion on that?Alexikoua (talk) 19:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello and some advice
Hi there, first of all thank you for your excellent work at Greeks and other articles. You have made some needed changes and the articles are in much better shape as a result. Just a couple of things, however, to help you improve your experience on wikipedia. First, it is very helpful to other users, and reduces the chances of your edits being reverted, if you use an edit-summary to explain your edits. This is standard practice in wikipedia. Second, it would be better if you did not mark major edits as "minor", for example this edit. While certainly a good edit, it is definitely not minor. Last, you may want to consider creating a user page (and you can just leave it blank if you don't want to say anything about yourself), so that your username does not appear in red letters. For a number of reasons, "redlinked" accounts are taken less seriously in the wikipedia community, and have a higher probability of having their edits reverted. Let me know if you have any questions, and happy editing. Athenean (talk) 07:48, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Byzantine Greeks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tactica. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Explanation on Greeks
Please explain how Greek people are indigenous to Italy? At the same time Greeks migrated to southern Italy, Greek colonies were heavily found in the southern France and some in southeastern Spain (both absent from your list). Those of Celtic origin settled northern Italy. Celts are not indigenous to Italy. Totally misleading information -- Galati

 * Next time you edit on Wikipedia, please give this review your attention, and at least post something to the review page. It has been three weeks since the article was put on hold, and the nomination will likely close soon as unsuccessful if you do not respond in the very near future. I hope you return soon. Thanks.
