course, after his death, Macedonians practically occupied the entire Greece and diadochi were as such “Greek kings” also. No secondary biography of Alexander ever stated something like “the Macedonians and the OTHER Greeks”. Yes, there are some ambiguous places but it appears that the connotations are to the king (who claimed his Hellenic ancestors). As I specified in the discussion in an answer to one other editor, we can not and should not use sometimes subjective, ethnic or cultural connotation but we have to follow political history. Applied to the Ancient Greece - as it is customary to say when we talk about Southern Balkan in the ancient times, the political situation we are concerned with here had for the main political subjects Macedonian kingdom and the Hellenes, i.e., Hellenic city-states. The term “Ancient Greece” is a technical term meant for the history books only, and does not imply that what is given in a particular book following that heading that this belongs inevitably to Greece as we see it today. I think now that this is the cause of the disputes on these pages.

or 4 similar professionals or patriots. That “gang” is replacing “Macedonia” with “Greece” all over the places. I can not grasp why and how these are profiting from this: FYROM may be by reserving for that state the name of “Macedonia”, or Greece, may be is attracted by a kind of pan-Hellenism? Anyway, in the meantime, history pages on Knowledge (XXG) suffer enormously from bias. Last year my password was even broken, I complained (see may Talk page), no ADMINISTRATOR intervened and I stopped being interested for editing for more then a year. I suspect then that even the "administrator" is in the gang. I just started again last month, and you and your collaborators (my hypothesis only) are reacting. I find it very patriotic and quite normal. But damaging for Knowledge (XXG). I will have to abandon Knowledge (XXG) for some time again if nobody would stop this gang in their destructive activity.

articles on Alex. I or the Argead dynasty are places where something like the proposed change would be more appropriate; on Macedon or Macedonians, lengthier expositions are preferred, as per your last point. In any case, I do not intend to contest such edits if there has been a discussion on the talk page (even if I am not sure I have the will to participate again very actively), since I have been convinced now that this is not an extremely important part of the article; that being said, we can't just change it lightly, especially if a few editors don't agree. I hope this clarifies my objection. Cheers

thought Macedonians were barbarians. My version does not dispute any claim he is Greek, but doesn't fail to mention that Greeks could consider Macedonians not-Greek. And no, this doesn't imply Macedonians weren't Greek or there aren't many scholars supporting Alexander was Greek. It's neutral conserning this, but it neither makes bold statements that conceal the struggle about ethnicity that is reported. If you have I better idea for phrasing this difficult issue I'm all ears.

someone will look at the case independently. Otherwise, however, it is not acceptable to use an undisclosed "sockpuppet" to advance your opinion in edit disputes, and no need to reply with accusations if you think I am mistaken; I just noted the striking conicidences of the two accounts' contributions.

YOUR ACCUSATIONS on my Talk page: Why you have such "impression"? I think because you are just fulfilling your patriotic duties.

Fine, this is kind of Royal decision. Interestingly, Alexander would in a similar circumstances give grounds for his decision to his generals... And this sounds also just fine.

Hi Wandalstouring, and thanks for the message. I think you indeed improved the grammar, but I have been working on this article for a long time, and I can assure you that the "original" version is the one I restored. No harm in discussing any change on the talk page and getting some other opinions

This source is not just a link to an author and historians' website. It leads to a 1 hour podcast discussion, aired in the UK, with two other boni fide historians. I think it is at least at importance as some of the other links, such as art exhibits, etc., therefore I must respectfully disagree.

3. Stating that he was a “Greek king” does not make much sense since Fillip II was also a king of Macedon and he was having a war against Greeks. His son could not all of a sudden be a Greek king. He was never accepted as a Greek king though. He was more a head of the alliance against Persians. Of

Than we disagree on that issue. And it's not my first edit in this field. I put that Alexander's family claims Greek origin, this is based ultimately about Herodot's history of the Olympic competition where his ancestor Alexander ran. The Greeks according to this story were astonished because they

Dear Antipastor. Thanks for taking part in the discussion. I think I have to explain also to you some aspects of the changes that I desire. If you followed the discussion it will be easy. Otherwise, you may need more explanation. But let me try, please. I want to say that the right word to use is

That's okay, but I fail to see how the page was vandalism while it was in main space. Don't forget not to bite newbies, in this case I think that moving to userspace and explaining the user's error is the correct thing to do, a lot of newbs take a lot of offence at having their good faith edits

However, Alexander wanted very much to bring his Macedonians into the great nation of the Hellenes. And he, as I think, succeeded in this in the end, but not only through the wars; the process was long and more through the language at first, and then through education, science and culture.

871:

At first, I wanted to add the word "amateur" to describe the author of the article in question, but when I saw this I was in doubt. You are right of course, but I think it is still useful as a reference, since the recent forgery discussions originate from it.

495:

I see you already reverted... please check the history and self-revert if you want when you verify what I am saying... anyway I do not want to engage in a lengthy debate, or a revert-war but I think such a change really needs more discussion.

Dear antipastor read the edit history before you start making claims. I restored the ORIGINAL version that was agreed upon and that does not make dubious claims.

I don't support the statements by Draganparis. I will add that he was a member of the Argead dynasty because that's a rather longlived institution for Greece.
