I have the urge to behave like a lemming and jump off the nearest peak. Apparently Ypsilantis was from Istanbul. He personally may never heard that name used since Constantinople was officially and globally known as Constantinople up till the late 1920s. But ... this is Wikipedia and reprogramming history is in Wikipedia's job description. Goodbye cruel world. Where is that darn peak. The land is so flat around here.

Dear Dr.K, I appreciate the assumption of good faith in my edit, however I have given all reasons why the current state of that paragraph is unacceptable in the talk page and waited very long for objections, and have not received any yet. This paragraph has always had a lot of objections when it was first introduced, it can be seen just by looking through the history. The reverters do not take my discussion into consideration and seem to prefer not to handle things verbally. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, could you please explain what else I can do to proceed with this edit in a friendly manner? Thank you, EthemD ( talk) 18:32, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
The fanzine name wouldn't meant anything, and how would I get a copy to you to prove it anyway? How about you say he says it his book WRITING POPULAR FICTION (1972) where he admits the same damn thing? Onde book tracked down is called HUNG by Leonard Chris, does that help???
Why are you reverting my edits about suppressing the other books (which he admits to, for career reasons), and revising a few for re-publication (which he has, mostly badly), and the Mike Tucker series (which he wrote), and the homage to Parker, which is in the damn books? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.222.135.55 ( talk) 02:40, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Relevant domestic law and practice (a) The Supreme Court The Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus provided for the existence of a Supreme Constitutional Court and a High Court (Parts IX and X of the Constitution respectively). Both these courts were each composed of a Greek, a Turkish and a neutral judge (Articles 133 and 153). The neutral judges, who were not subjects or citizens of Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom (and the Colonies), presided over the courts (Articles 133 and 153). This Constitutional arrangement lasted only until the beginning of 1964; following the inter-communal problems in 1963, the neutral presidents vacated their posts without being replaced. The Administration of Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Law 33/1964 (“Law 33/64”) was enacted in order to address a situation of emergency and to set up the necessary judicial machinery for the continued administration of justice. By virtue of this law, the two highest courts, that is, the Constitutional Court and the High Court, were merged into one, the Supreme Court of Cyprus, to which the jurisdiction and powers of the two pre-existing courts were transferred. The establishment and operation of the new Supreme Court was held to be in conformity with the Constitution on the basis of recognised principles of the Law of Necessity (the Attorney-General of the Republic v. Mustafa Ibrahim and others, (1964) C.L.R. 195). The Turkish-Cypriot judges of the pre-existing courts participated in the composition of the Supreme Court for a few years following its establishment but subsequently withdrew

FIRST SECTION DECISION AS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF Application no. 13832/05 by INVESTYLIA PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED against Cyprus B. Relevant domestic law and practice The provisions of the above Article were rendered inoperative following the inter-communal problems in 1963. The procedure for reference under the above provision is no longer applicable. The Administration of Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Law 33/1964 was enacted in order to address a situation of emergency and to set up the necessary judicial machinery for the continued administration of justice.

Mustafa Ibrahim and others, (1964) C.L.R. 195). As the procedure for reference under Article 144 (1) is no longer applicable in cases other than those of the Family Courts, questions of alleged unconstitutionality are treated as issues of law in the proceedings, subject to revision on appeal in due course, in so far as the lower courts are concerned. All courts when dealing with a case are competent to examine questions of alleged unconstitutionality arising in the case which are material for the determination of any matter at issue. http://cmiskp.echr.coe.int/tkp197/search.asp - Tick all on the left pane - Application No: 47293/99 - Search – Click to “Selim v.

Following is a part of the interview of Professor Forsthoff by a U.P.I. correspondent in Heidelberg, Germany on December 30, 1963. “ Q. Can you briefly state the last incident in the chain of events which led to your resignation? A. These criticisms against the Constitution increased as time went on and when the question of establishing separate municipalities in the five main towns was brought before the Court it was insisted that the establishment of such separate municipalities was not practicable. The Court formulated its decision with utmost care in order to make it possible for a compromise solution. I must add that a state does not cease to exist on account of any defect in local administration. Q. Has the Makarios government complied with the decision of the Constitutional Court dated 25th April 1963 on the subject of Municipalities? Was the non-implementation of this decision expected before? A. The fact that the decision of the Constitutional Court was not to be implemented was made quite clear to me and as it turned out it was not in fact implemented. Non-implementation of the decision of a Constitutional Court is sufficient reason to compel the resignation of its President.”

Supreme Court of Cyprus (SCC) has an official website: http://www.supremecourt.gov.cy (of Republic of Cyprus). However, there is no info about history (i.e. dissolution of Supreme Constitutional Court of Cyprus (SCCC) and High Court of Cyprus and forming of SCC (Supreme Court of Cyprus) in this official website.

The conversations going on at the Kostas Novakis talk page and on my talk page. I'm certainly finding it very educational. The stronger the opponents POV the more research you have to do. The more research you do the more interesting it gets. That's what is so intriguing about Wikipedia. Although it would be nice not to have to do this. Nipsonanomhmata (Talk) 15:28, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Thank you Nipsonanomhmata for your nice comments. I think that to contribute here successfully we must have a good picture of the architecture of the place as well as the interaction dynamics between editors. I will not elaborate very much other than to say that you should not let some negative interactions discourage you from editing here. Since our daily interactions with other editors are the closest point of contact with others they tend to affect us the most. Therefore these same interactions have a tendency to be blown out of proportion. When you encounter such a dynamic pull back and check the reason. If the reaction comes from more than one editor then the consensus is against you. Let it go at that time, nevermind what you think about the sources or any other arguments. That's where the architecture of the place comes into play. This being a wiki, someone else will come some time later and fix the problem which you perceive by providing new sources, arguments and/or changing the consensus. Or they may not. In either case it is ok. If they don't fix the problem, and assuming there is a valid problem, the wider web will catch it. They will then mark the problematic article(s) as propaganda. The reputation of Wikipedia will suffer. Someone from the wiki will notice this and they will try to fix it. It is a continuous cycle. No need to try to reverse it single-handedly in a collaborative editing environment. In the same wiki-architecture other editors, including admins, are sometimes forgiven crude behaviour as long as they are perceived overall as a net benefit to the project. There is considerable leeway in this sense. But crude behaviour, I think, is on the way out of the project. I may be wrong but I believe that this kind of behaviour is not sustainable here. Among other things it undermines respect for the local management here and thus it is ultimately subversive to the concept of a wiki. Dr.K. λogos πraxis 16:01, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
It's now moved on to Lofoi. I've got a much better understanding of the issues now. Have had to do much reading about the subject. A town like Lofoi in medieval times, apart from any existing population, may have also been populated by Arvanites and Vlachoi who were avoiding persecution in Epirus. A village like Lofoi may have been persecuted by Slavs from the north and it might have been in their best interests to go along with the Slavs and have an alliance from them. If they were persecuted by Slavs from Bulgaria they might make an alliance with them. If they were persecuted by Turks they might make an alliance with them. They would change their allegiance and in some cases their ethnic makeup to best suit their interests. However, in one case, the Bulgarian Exarchate provided a school and ran the local church and the local families would have given their allegiance to Bulgaria because they had no other school. As a result they would have learned Slavic from a Bulgarian school and depending on the teacher they would have acquired the dialect of anyone who taught at that school. The problem with the Lofoi article today is that propagandists from the "Republic of Macedonia" claim that the locals speak the "Macedonian language" (also called "Macedonian Slavic" by the government of the "Repubic of Macedonia"). They back this up with European Union research which appears to be WP:OR. Never at any time in history has Lofoi been part of the "Republic of Macedonia" or the former "Socialist Republic of Macedonia" (which was formed in 1944). On the contrary. At one time the village was part of the Bulgarian Exarchate. So the Lofoi article not only had the Greek name for Lofoi but also the Bulgarian name for Lofoi. The Bulgarian name has been deleted and instead the "Macedonian Slavic" name is given (which coincidentally in this case is identical) but instead of being labelled Bulgarian, it is being labelled "Macedonian" and they don't mean the historical kind, they mean the new kind, and ofcourse by doing so they are also laying claim to the historical kind. Also, it is worth noting that what is called "Macedonian Slavic" is considered a dialect of Bulgarian as well as a dialect of the new kind of "Macedonian". Apparently, there are two cities in the south of the "Republic of Macedonia" that use the same dialect of "Macedonian Slavic". Ofcourse the government of the "Republic of Macedonia" claims that all Slavic speakers in northern Greece and Bulgaria speak "Macedonian Slavic" which is the national language of the "Republic of Macedonia". Before the Bulgarians were involved all Slavic speakers in what is now Macedonia, northern Greece, were called Serbians. It appears that since 1944 the people of the "Republic of Macedonia" have been taught by the Communists that they are "Macedonians" and they have worked out a beautiful propaganda strategy of how to lay claim to an enormous region that they have labelled as "Macedonia" but which is much larger than ancient Macedonia. That's it in a nutshell. IMO the Slavic name should be labelled Bulgarian because historically it was part of the Bulgarian Exarchate. I can't think of any reason why the "Macedonian Slavic" name should be used (other than the claims that the majority of the population of the town speak it, even though it is highly unlikely that their ancestors are all Slavic). Nightmare. And ofcourse Slavic, the language, was first documented by a Greek priest before that there was no written form of Slavic. It's all beyond a joke.

Hey again, Can I post another 5 sections in Cyprus article on its History? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FindoutNicosia ( talk • contribs) 17:28, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
Γεια σου!
Are you sure about this diff? According to the way in which the term Greek Orthodox is defined in this article, i.e. the informal aggregation of the several orthodox Church bodies of "Greek" tradition as opposed to other traditions in Orthodoxy, I think it makes sense to remove these flags. However this page is presently a bit messy and even the {{ Infobox Orthodox Church}} does not give much information on what the fields mean exactly, so there may be bigger changes to make. Looking at other pages using the same infobox, it seems that Territory means the original, or canonical territory (in this case something like Eastern Mediterranean or Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Albania, Middle-East may be enough) and Possessions means locations in the diaspora where the Church is organised (in this case, pretty much the whole world). What do you think of these changes? Please note I am not orthodox myself, so canonical jurisdictions are something a bit cloudy to me. Place Clichy ( talk) 10:08, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey Dr.K.,
I wonder if you could tell me or show me where I can learn how to revert changes to a Wikipedia page to an earlier version. I know how to revert a single change, but I've seen fellow editors reverting several in one step. I have looked at the editing overview guide that you posted on my discussion page, but I'm just not finding what I need. Sometimes I see multiple vandalism changes and I really want to know how to restore the page back to an earlier version. Thanks...

Hello there. Why did you change the name of the article? You didn't even put it under discussion! I suggest you undo what you've done and start a discussion and let other people say their opinion on the issue. It's not about accuracy. The previous title was not confusing. See Venetian Albania for example. It's not like it's part of Venice. It's the Common name. Another example is Ottoman Greece and not Greece under Ottoman rule!!Before you change the title you make a proposal in the talk page, see here. -- Marcofran ( talk) 11:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dr. K. Thanks for the tip yesterday and for your comments today in the Nicosia talk page. I would like to see whether you support splitting the article in two parts so that they can both grow separately. The article is so poor currently, its badly written and needs lots of attention.
At the moment it seems we're arguing and not letting the article grow. My proposal is for 2 articles, "Nicosia, Republic of Cyprus" to contain all information about the Greek-Cypriot capital which has jurisdiction over the whole of Nicosia and "Northern Nicosia, TRNC" which is a self-proclaimed entity of the TRNC and the de facto local government in the northern part. We should of course link each other and ensure they're consistent (at least with history). Interested to see your views. Masri145 ( talk) 13:33, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey Dr.K !!! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I hope that i can edit "Dora Bakoyannis" page again. I thought i'd show you what i want to add and you tell me what is the best way to add it so i don't get into any trouble again.
So the paragraph i want to add is
" In 2008, she was awarded the Emperor Maximilian Award-European Award for Regional Policy and Local Government by the State of Tyrol and the city of Innsbruck. In 2009, she was named as the first female foreign associate of the French Academy in Humanities and Political Sciences (Academie Francaise des Sciences Morales et Politiques). The same year, she was also awarded the title of Honorary Senator by the European Academy of Human and Political Sciences in Salzburg. In 2010, Dora Bakoyannis has been awarded the National Order of the Chevalry of the Legion of Honour of the French Republic (Ordre Nationale de Chevalier de la Legion d' Honneur)."
the links to that are: http://www.ccre.org/news_detail_en.htm?ID=1327
http://www.amb-grece.fr/politique_etrangere/distinctions.htm (the paragraph concerning her is further down if you scroll)
what is the best way to add it? do i just go to the page, edit the text and put these links at the "references" part? do i need to save the links in a particular format?
i also need to delete one word in the very first paragraph of her page, the introductory one, and change the name of the mayor that succeeded her under her photograph.
What is the best way to do it? i would be grateful if you could help me. Thank you very much and have a good week !!!!

In collecting illustrations I came across a photo taken by you on Wikipedia and headed "Closeup of the hoplite armour exhibit at the Corfu Museum".
Could I use this (or details of this photo) for my book? If you grant my request I'll credit you for the photo when the book is published.
kind regards,

On 22 October 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ringo (singer), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the wedding of the French pop singers of the seventies Sheila and Ringo was attended by 15,000 people and "resembled a royal wedding"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ringo (singer).You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hello, you recently flagged William Adams (judge), under the grounds that it was a "article about a living person in a negative tone" and generally unsourced. To begin, this was a page about a living person, who just so happened to be a judge at the time the article was written, (which, by the way, was under a rapid transformation, and was in no way negative, but rather informative). Nowhere in the article did I use undermining words such as "terrible" or "blatant" which may have emphasis on a "negative" page. Additionally, you state that the sources were incomplete and generally unverifiable; this is a current event , and sources change all the time. Look at this source, from Gawker, a trusted and official web news provider: http://gawker.com/5855478/reddit-video-apparently-shows-texas-family-judge-beating-disabled-daughter

On 5 November 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hervé Vilard, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that French 1960s pop star Hervé Vilard was born in 1946 in a taxi which was transferring his mother to the hospital to deliver?

The article appears to be in American English, so if you're going to change one spelling to conform to British English, you need to change any others as well. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:41, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I read through your interesting user page and talk page. You seem like the type of person I'd like to know better. I don't want to expand the discussion at RAN's talk page, but I'll note that I am a serious fan of trying to propose alternative viewpoints. It is occasionally effective, and I need to do it even more. I didn't do it this time, and should have. The irony is that reviewing RAN's work has generated too much stress in me, so I need to cut back.-- SPhilbrick T 03:23, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Dr. K! I want to post something about the poem "The Road Not Taken." I saw "The Raven" article and found Featured article criteria, which suggests using "a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature. Claims are verifiable against high-quality reliable sources and are supported by inline citations where appropriate." You have posts on the Robert Frost article so I'm hopeing you can help me. I can find plenty of analysis on the "The Road Not Taken" poem (everyone seems to have an opinion), but I would rather base my post on the more respected books/writings on the topic. I haven't studied poetry formally so I don't know what these might be. I'm hoping that you can get me started and list one or a few of the "the relevant literature" and "high-quality reliable sources" in the poetry field that might discuss "The Road Not Taken." Thanks!-- Codydakin ( talk) 15:04, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for not signing the comment on the Talk:Great Blue Hole page, I should have read the advise on how to use the talk pages first. I just thought that my comment looked a little bit rude, it was not my intention and I totally understand that a reason must be given in editing a Wikipedia page. 80.213.121.45 ( talk) 23:53, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Hello Dr. K.
I wanted to humbly comment on your latest edit on the Byzantine Empire entry. Was the removal of Robert Byron's "Triple Fusion" necessary or does reinstating the sourced content in annotated form violate WP:LEAD?
Also, was anyone (other than Future Perfect whose contributions to the "Stable Version" I respect) actually offended by the inclusion of Heisenberg's "Staat und Gesellschaft des Byzantinischen Reiches"?

P.S. I would like to wish you and your family Happy Holidays. :-)
