Greek ship names
I notice on the website of the Hellenic Navy Hellenic Navy that the Greek ship names are presented in all caps (e.g., Φ/Γ ΚΟΥΝΤΟΥΡΙΩΤΗΣ) although occasionally they are not in all caps. Is there a standard style that we should be using?
Also, I am about to go and add the Ensign instead of the Jack to all of the Greek ships, per this discussion Template talk:Infobox Ship#Ensign vs. jack. I didn't want to surprise you. Filika, Argos'Dad 13:02, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Editing pages (May 2007)
Hi and thanks for your good words. Although we are both Greek and we could write in Greek, we'll communicate in English so everyone can follow. Thank you for your editing tips and I will have them in mind. However the only issue I think we shouldn't change in the Greek Armed Forces pages is the layout of the main articles, although I know (and you are right) that main articles exist in the templates.
The reason I have copied them to the main articles is that the eddited articles in the templates (and this goes for all three branches of the Armed Forces) were more of a summary and not full scale articles. The main pages seemed really empty and without any photos so i wanted to fill them with summaries and photos and the full length articles can be edited in the templates. Thanks again for your tips and keep up the good work too! --kompikos 19:20, 27 May 2007

Sorry...
...but I provided several sources that say that prefecture of Illyricum existed at least in 324 (which is also confirmed on historical map in The Times History of Europe, Times Books, London, 2001), thus I doubt that your source is reliable one, so please do not revert this until you present valid confirmation of that information. PANONIAN 21:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, there are other sources that say that prefecture was established in 318, and I will quote such sources when I remember where I founded such info. Anyway, since there is clear disagreement about date of establishment in various sources, do you agree that we present info from all sources, your and mine? PANONIAN 16:00, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
-
- I really do not understand why you want to remove "See also" section from this article. WP:LAYOUT is nothing more but a suggestion (not obligation) and there are two very good reasons why see also section should be there: 1. if somebody search for related articles, "See also" section is a place where he will be able to find them in most easy way - he will spent much more his free time to find these links in text. 2. article is already short and we do not have to make it even more shorter. Therefore, I will revert this section back. PANONIAN 21:36, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Why do you correct a quoted piece of text? Do you have a source which gives the Greek as you give it? It is almost a thousand years old, I would expect it to look different from either classical of modern norms of spelling and punctuation! Srnec 06:44, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

What is your problem with Reshid Mehmed Pasha being greek?
??? Reaper7 23:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Nothing, except the fact that he wasn't. He was from modern-day Georgia. He was the son of a Greek Orthodox priest, but that certainly does not make him ethnically Greek, since "Greek Orthodox" is a term encompassing far more people than just us Greeks... Cplakidas 07:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
-
- Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church I think you mean this. There were Greeks in Georgia, many and guess what, many greek priests! Collapse of Soviet Union. Approx. 100,000 ethnic Greeks migrate from Georgia, Armenia, southern Russia and Albania to Greece.Reaper7 00:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
-
-
- Yes, there were Greeks in Georgia, but most of them settled there during Russian rule in the latter half of the 19th century. And this does not mean that Mehmed Reshid was Greek. Anyway, I have never seen a reference to his ethnicity as being Greek, but only "from Georgia", i.e., which can mean a lot of nationalities, from Georgians, to Laz, Ossetians, Armenians, etc... During the period Mehmed Rehid was born, I imagine the only Greeks in the area would have been traders and senior clergy. At any rate, while his nationality is unclear (apart from being generically "Caucasian") it is very unlikely that he actually was a Greek. Cplakidas 17:16, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Praetorian prefecture of Africa
Hi Cplakidas. You are off to such a great start on the article Praetorian prefecture of Africa that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee (Talk) 01:38, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Compliments
Stunning addition!!! Many compliments!!! I've a question: what do you think about Byzantine Empire article as a whole. Many people consider it a featured article, but I don't think. They just evaluate length, but details are greatly lacking. There are still many periods to examine better in detail, such as the 14th century or the 8th; I tried to cope adding some stuff from my Ostrogorsky for the period 9th-10th century, but in the end I got a bit tired. What do you think? Ciao and good work. --Attilios 09:30, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite and expansion of article on Battle of Heliopolis
As you noticed, I rewrote and vastly expanded the article on the Battle of Heliopolis. I welcome any critique you could offer, in the hopes I can improve my work.

Byzantium under the Heraclian
Please see the discussion page as to why it should not have the word "Dynasty".
Without meaning to sound cheeky, please discuss such a bold change before implementing. Or at least leave a message.
Respectfully,
Tourskin 00:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hi there, thanks for the appreciative comments on my work. I kind of see what you are saying but I don't see how adding dynasty helps in my opinion it makes the title longer than it should be. And what are we to do with the other articles that are in this scope such as Byzantium under the Komnenoi etc. We need to have a similar name or something. I am willing to concede if you strongly insist but a similar name is important. Tourskin 17:33, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
-
- You say the word "heraclian" is nonesense, but Norwich uses the words "Heraclian line". Norwich, John Julius (1997). A Short History of Byzantium. New York: Vintage Books.
Since this discussion is not yet over, the article should be as it was before the change and yet it isn't. Thats wiki policy isn't it?Tourskin 23:43, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

-
- Listen here buddy. I don't give a damn what mood ur in, how annoyed you are or how much sleep u r losing. Being rude with never works. You didn't say anything about nouns or adgectives or whatever. I just can't see how Heraclian is not the same as Komnenoi or Palailogoi. Tourskin 00:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
-
-
-
-
- I understand now. I fully accept your apology and I take back what I said in the previous message. Can we use Heraklanoi? Or Heraclanoi? In the mean time I will change it to Dynasty. Tourskin 18:11, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

- Oh I missed that one. Heraclians? By itself? I am for that one! Tourskin 17:31, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
