Dhimotiki

Dear Dexippus, your last edit is almost perfect. I think though that it is not the modern Peloponnesian dialect that became the basis of Dhimotiki but the 19th century one. Would you mind if I were to erase the "modern" adjective?--Giorgos Tzimas (talk) 21:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re:macedonians in albania

hi, you have recently edited Macedonians in Albania you wrote "estimates from Macedonian sources which are disputed by the Albanian government don't belong in the infobox" actually they are not disputed, the albanian government has no official stance on the macedonian muslims, and they are often assimilated into albanians. And although it is a external-government report it should not be just deleted, many of the references to the greeks page are actually from Hellenic Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Which is obviously pro-greek, and all of the numbers are inflated, so before you go round reducing the numbers of macedonians, which have all been stated from census numbers! i suggest you should "read between the lines" on the this page Greeks. PMK1 (talk) 09:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yes, i agree to. with the greeks page i have had my official info and census' deleted because it was less than the foreign ministry estimates, so thats wat i was pointing to. PMK1 (talk) 05:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yes you are right. But the recognition is only in the prespa region not the gora region where the population are muslims, Torbeshi see here. Thats all i was reffering to. But i along with you think that the Diaspora article needs a revamp PMK1 (talk) 08:57, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, dexipus i saw your recent edit on Aegean Macedonians. I was just wondering is there a greek word which is used for the Refugee Children of the Greek Civil War?? Apart from paidamazona? PMK1 (talk) 22:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so there isn't a specific term. Would "ta apachthenta paidia" be appropriate or having "the kidnapped children" isn't really appropriate? How would a greek refer to any refugee children, (decata begalci is used to refer to Greek Civil War children, but it can be used in any other concept, is just means the refugee children.)

Wikipedia Is Very Bad

That's not so much better than this... :-) Niko Silver 14:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"All these things are done by the Greek EYP"? Damn, they blew my cover!--Dexippus (talk) 15:10, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the ~~club~~ gung [2]. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:16, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The existence or lack thereof of a "gung" is not the problem here. As a commentator stated during BHRM's finest hour:

“

I believe that emphasizing isolated opinions of individual people or marginals who sometimes send letters and develop their imagination around the existence of minority groups in Northern Greece is malicious

”

I suppose people need to find ways to keep themselves amused. Inventing a "church" though is pointless though in my opinion. Real ethnic minorities (Bulgarians in Serbia; Greeks in Albania, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia and Romania; Romanians in Serbia and Ukraine etc) just use the autocephalous church of the country in which they are living, which makes sense since they only use it three times in their lifetime anyway (for baptism, marriage and burial). There are no Ottoman millets (such as the Bulgarian Exarchate a reincarnation of which they claim to be) any more, where separate "juristictions" were very important.--Dexippus (talk) 15:29, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greek diaspora

Hi. The sourcing in the Greek diaspora page about the Republic of Macedonia (250,000 Greeks) is inadequate. It presents it as if Roudometof states that this is what happened. But he actually just comments that Greek sources claim more (specifically Valakopoulos). The ref should be changed to Valakopoulos' publication, or if that isn't reliable, it should be removed.

Happy?--Dexippus (talk) 13:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that seems fine. Btw I didn't really care about the acronym. Balkan Fever 13:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
