article about the religious minorities in Greece. There's something grotesque about you expats living in Greece, trying to curry favour with the host nation by forever showing off and proving that you are on 'their' side (shared prejudices included). But then, you live in Greece and IT starts to show. Slowly and surely, simply living there makes one sink. To live in such a country inevitably renders you onto a brainwashed creature. It's just a matter of time. Your country of adoption is, in my humble opinion by far the least civilized country in Europe. Despite the mild climate, it's a very very tough place to live in. I'm not envying you really.

and judging from the fact that any anti-nationalistic news is usualy quickly mentioned in such websites, I think this could be either a hoax, wishful thinking or a realy marginal party that was formed like yesterday by previously unheard of people. Apart from that the article is in need of a complete rewrite as it contains much nonsense, but I would hesitate to touch it at least not before I hear that such a party really exists. --
197:'The ascent of Islam and the collapse of the Persian and Byzantine empires pushed various oriental ethnic groups into Europe, among these were the Roma/Gypsies. They drew their different names from the people that they came into contact with, names such as "Arami" (Armenians, pagans), "Faraontseg" (crowd), "Bohemians" (from Bohemia), "Tartars", "Gypsies" (Egyptians), "Saracens" (Arabs), 105:
juntas: no political parties, just a group of officers and a bureaucracy. Possibly, you could place them under a "Regime of the Colonels" allegiance; I think that would be the most accurate. I'll ask my father and tell you tomorrow for sure, though. Btw, it seems I'll have to award you a barnstar or something, you do an awful lot of work! --

I don't think they are the same thing. The Assembly was a gathering which met from December to January. The Consitution was a document passed by the Assembly on one of the day's that it sat. Saying that they are the same thing would be like saying that the present contitution of Greece is the same as

Hi, I hope you don't object to my moving the IRA and the treaty to its own article. The reason was that the IRA article was far too big as it was. I was also very dissatisfied with the content of the early part of the article, which I have also edited considerably. Perhaps you would like to look over
169:
Both office holders see themselves as successor of the pre-reformation bishops. This means that if we would split the lists into two articles, we would either get some redundancy by having the pre-reformation bishops in both articles or we would violate the NPOV if we restrict one of the two articles
284:
You might have noticed that I moved some of the pages, replacing hyphens with en-dashes. It might seem a minor issue, but hyphens (-) are used to link words and people's names. En-dashes (–), however, are used to suggest a time span, or a distance (the Dublin–Galway road), etc. You'll find more info
335:
Thanks for the note, but I really prefer using simple keyboard characters wherever possible, and the MoS states "A single spaced hyphen - like this. This is considered an en dash rendered in the same "typewriter" style as the double hyphen for em dashes, above" is an acceptable alternative to an en

No, not at all. I'm glad that someone is showing dedicated interest in improving the articles on Irish republicanism in general and that we're moving away from the FearÉireann Prinz Joachim school of new historical myth. I had more time for this in the past but am somewhat busy with other things on
178:
The real challenge, however, regarding the lists of Irish bishops is not this problem but the trouble of obtaining correct lists for early medieval times, i.e. the time before the synode of Rath Breasail in 1111. The lists that are to be found on other web pages are (as far as I have seen) entirely

Hello Damac, I hope everything is going ok for you. I think we can move on to AfDing these articles. It's been like a week and the original poster has not provided any sources. Googling "arvanite alliance" still doesn't pop anything up, so I think it must have been fiction. Anyway if there actually
31:
I've never even heard of such a party! I read the article and it says it was formed in February 2006 which means it was formed in the last 15 days. I watch greek political (leftist) websites, such as the athens indymedia but not the merest mention of a new "anti-nationalism" movement has been made,
303:
Re the IRA pages, I felt that the earlier ones were somewhat selective in the information included. I wouldn't describe myself as Republican but there are NPOV issues with only telling the Free State/1980s revisionist version of events. The problem now is that all the IRA pages except the ones for
104:
Kalimera! From what I understand, during the Junta no parties existed formally, in the spirit that "all the Nation is united so no parties are needed". In the same time I don't think that there was any "Junta Party" so as to have an one party state. I think this is more close to the latin american

The ethnonym "Roma" (from the Greek term "Rhomaios", denomination for the inhabitants of the Roman Empire and for the Christians of Byzance until the collapse of the Empire) used with "Sinto" (the Roma from the Germanic area) and "Kalo" (the Roma from the Hispanic region) defines a transfrontier
173:
In the early post-reformation time, things get rather complex as quite a number of bishops are acknowledged by the Church of Ireland and the Roman-catholic church at the same time. In these cases, the bishops had surrendered their bulls of provision as required but they were also quick to assure

I don't want to sound again offensive to ultra-sensitive ears (BTW there is an Irish Whiskey brand called 'Paddy' officially registred as such and which can be bought here in London from Waitrose if I'm not wrong, see posting below) but I disliked the way you vandalized my contributions to the

Interesting. I admit I wasn't aware of the distinction before now. The only problem with the move is that all the links and some double re-directs go to the hyphenated pages. Thus the "what links here" page is much smaller than it should be. Out of curiousity, how would one write an en dash as

You missed my point. I do not say that the Assembly is the same thing with the Constitution. It is not and you did very well creating a new article. What I say is that the "Provisional Regime of Greece" (Προσωρινό Πολίτευμα της Ελλάδος) is another name for the Temporary Constitution of Greece

was left out of the nomination and you may not have been aware of this. Categorising modern MPs by location of constituency does not reflect the reality of the political system in which party affinity is the primary division. Could you please reconsider your vote?

Thank you for the piece of advice. I'm obsessed with greek politics and the greek history, in general, including the elections. Nevertheless, I face two major problems: a) lack of time, b) limited knowledge of the english language (my native language is greek).

Hi Danac. The small bits I know about these 'Athinganoi' come from here and there. Quite funny, they seem to be associated with the Cathar heressy. What is the official Greek stance on them? Or are they just hidden under the carpet (a la greque)?

Dimitrios Ypsilantis participated in the First Assembly and that's how he became president of the legislature. Alexandros Ypsilantis did not participate, because after his defeat in Romania he was very depressed and disappointed.
