It takes a person of character to withdraw a nomination for deletion after reading other user input. Unlike many who seem to have personal vandettas in this area, you showed and an openness and willingness to listen and consider. Based upon your actions, you deserve this positive accolade for all to see. Bbagot 15:18, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Greek refugees

Thanks about this. U are right. I had the Greek word 'ethnos' in mind (='ethnic group' or 'nation') and i did not think of the different meaning of the word nation in English. Hectorian 16:34, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I will write some stuff in the last stub section (In popular culture) and then i will reply to your questions in the talk page. Maybe there are some povish statements there (i do not claim infallibility:)...). Thanks for the interest, and i agree with u that the two references u mentioned are important. Also, at some point in the future, i think of adding eyewitness testimonies, with notes and all, so as to illustrate the impact of the event, as well as the way the refugees themselves saw it. Regards Hectorian 17:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

As far as i am concerned, u are more than welcomed to fix pov issues:). just a note: i think we should deal with this from the scope of its significance for the refugees and for Greece herself, and of its nature (do not forget that it was the first compulsory exchange of population in human history-something that can highlight much of what is discussed in the article). i tend not to agree with modern political correctness, not saying that u do agree, but just expressing my own POV, in talk:). Hectorian 17:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I have finished my work in this article for now. My main aim was some sections to stop being stubs. Soon, maybe later today, i will add some more info. Thanks for the interest, and if u have the time, take a look in the usage of English there. Not been a native English-speaker may be tricky sometimes:).Thanks and ciao.

• I'll use the preview button now, sorry.
• In regards to point 1, that was a formatting mistake
• In regards to point 2, Morris was specifically replying to Finkelsteins agreement with the "apartheid" claim.--Urthogie 19:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Urthogie is editing basically alone against a half-dozen editors of the opposing viewpoint, none of whom are particularly neutral, and some of whom are almost rabidly POV. It's not surprising it's a mess, and it doesn't really make sense to blame Urthogie. Jayjg 01:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your coming to me. I do have an interest in the article, but some of the editors are either wildly radical in their views or absurdly hostile towards other editors, or both, so it's a very uncomfortable place to try to make a positive contribution. What would you suggest? Jayjg 01:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Vafiadis

You might consider asking Macrakis instead; I can't read Greek. Khoikhoi 05:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!

Welcome to the project! Happy to see you around! Enjoy!--Yannismarou 18:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to the WikiProject Greece! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to Greece.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our sidebar points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The Announcements and Open tasks section is updated quite regularly. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPGreeceOpenTasks}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Interested in working on a more complete article? The peer review department of the project would welcome your help!
• Interested in a particular area of Greek history, geography, culture etc. ? There is already one task force, and you could initiate the creation of more focusing on specific topics or periods.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Misplaced Pages.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Your evidence

I was surprized to see your evidence. It seems your interpretation of the events in that article is not full as respect to the edit-war that took place there. There are also many details from the talk page which point to a different interpretation of the events. Can you review your evidence again and make it more complete ? Thanks, Zeq 05:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Meetup

Dear Jd2718,

You have either attended or expressed interested in the previous NYC Meetup. I would like to invite you to the First Annual New York Wikipedian Central Park Picnic. R.S.V.P. @ Misplaced Pages:Meetup/NYC -- Y not? 14:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Please self revert

what you do border on vandalism. If you want to expend the article, add other POV you are welcome. But those deltes of sourced content will not accepted. see talk and use talk but until there is a compromise don't delete content. thank you. Zeq 13:36, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I am giving you an opportunity to re-write the section. This is a timely event. I know you are aware of it. should you just wait for the right moment to revert it again I will ask for you to be prevented from editing the article. Zeq 14:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

removal of well source info is inentional and border on vandalism. Vandalism means destruction: you took some else work and without proper reason deleted it. that is as close to vandalism as I can think about and it is uncivil as well. The best if you have objections to some text and considering such a big change is to discuss it on talk first. Zeq 21:28, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Please understand the difference between vandalism and bordering on vandalism - this mean not crosssing the line but coming close. If you think the way to improve the project is by deleting sourced material than we should discuss how is this improving the article. I dis agree that this is an improvment and what you should do next time is use talk (first) to suggest such massive changes. Zeq 04:02, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

urban new england

Hi. What additional information would you prefer to be cited so as to be able to state why parts of Connecticut are included together with NYC in a combined statistical area? It really is a simple matter of summing up the percentage of employed residents of an MSA that commute to an adjacent MSA and the percentage of employment in an MSA composed of residents of adjacent MSAs (i.e. the degree of employment interchange between MSAs). If a threshold value is exceeded the MSAs are "combined". Thanks. --Polaron | Talk 19:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I already did that

You might check for the explanation before you edit. Deleting is out of line without a consensus. I'm changing it back. Work for consensus. Noroton 00:03, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Looting vs. Lootings

Your edit was a stylistic abomination. If I didn't think so, I would have refrained from correcting it. I did see it after looking over your contributions, in part because, given the history of attempts to change that Fairfield history section, I have every reason to be extremely suspicious of anyone trying to delete it without consensus. I didn't change any other of your edits because I found no good reason to do so under Misplaced Pages policies or guidelines or purposes. In order to show that I'm not making an edit maliciously, however, I'm going to go overboard in this case and revert it, hoping that either someone else will correct it or you will look into it and change it yourself. I suggest you look further into Misplaced Pages rules and guidelines as well, and that might prevent edits such as trying to delete the Fairfield history section. Noroton 00:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

My mistake. On looking at it again, I see I actually agreed with your edit on the Gaza article. I was tired. Apologies.Noroton
