Hi there. i mostly contribute toa articles related to Cyprus and neighbouring countries, telecommunications and music.

I have contributed significantly to Patriarch Gregory II of Constantinople, Leontios Makhairas, Ploutis Servas, arcadocypriot, Cypriot Greek and other more boring articles.

A couple of personal opinions on Wikipedia: ancient greek and eastern roman people/works are always referred to with their latin names. I accept that these are the most familiar forms for english speakers, but I believe the original greek name should be at least mentioned (most times it isn't). In the case of book titles, the greek name and the english translation are far more relevant than the medieval latin translation.

Most subjects about non english speaking countries/issues suffer from edit wars between rival nationalists. Where have all the moderates gone?:P Wikipedia's NPOV ends up being a compromise between rival nationalistic opinions with little-no input from moderates.

To do: modern(ottoman) greek versions of Alexander Romance
