[edit] Shooter

I know we have our differences over this article, but I think we can agree that this Bob Swagger guy is violating the nuetral point of view policy. I hope you're willing to help me out with this. DurinsBane87 20:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, but I was busy offline these days. I agree with you, I'll check it out and see what I can do. Ferengi 15:50, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry, he got blocked. Thanks though! DurinsBane87 16:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Damn, I go chop up weeds with a sword and hang out, I come back, and you did all that? good job! DurinsBane87 18:50, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks :) When I have more time I'll try to incorporate some more trivia. Ferengi 08:52, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greeks in Greece

Yes is is supported by a reference: the 2001 census. There won't be another census until 2011, so you'll just have to wait if you want something more up to date I'm afraid :) --NetProfit 23:07, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

There is an older discussion on this issue on the talkpage, Talk:Greeks#Fake population figures. There may be older ones as well, I haven't checked.--NetProfit 23:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I think this is how it works. Here it says that 93% of the total population of Greece are Greeks according to the 2001 census (this is because there are also foreigners in Greece, Albanians, Ukrainians and the like). In the 2001 census, the total population of Greece was 10,964,020, therefore 10,964,020 x 93% = 10,196,539. Obviously the Factbook has been updated since the discussion on the talkpage; then it must have said that 98% of Greece's population were Greeks. You're right, the article does need updating.--NetProfit 23:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnic cleansing

Okay, you`re right it was poor sourcing on my part, however Muslim population of Balkans has been expelled or killed during the balkan wars, i wasnt refering to mutual atrocities of the Greco Turkish war..I can provide you more sources on the issue using non-pro turkish documents..

For instance: `The process that begun with mutual `ethnic cleansing` in the Balkans and progressed, with World War I, to the expulsion and massacre of christians in Anatolia, entered a new period following the Ottoman defeat...`
