I agree. I think the undocumented photographs are reaching near-crisis proportions. I hereby call for all these dubious pictures to be quarantined pending review by a panel. Hole Punch 85 (talk) 22:26, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Romuva
Thank you for all your help! It is truly appreciated. I hope you can finish adding the info from the books you have. The article has been on my radar screen for ever, but I was never able to find any good sources to help with clean up. So THANK YOU again. Renata (talk) 15:57, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Did I answer your questions adequately at the Humanities Reference desk? Thanks for encouraging me to continue with the question. I understand you are a librarian?--LordGorval (talk) 23:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

- Yes, thank you, that was sufficient. And, no, I am not; that "Librarian of the Week" box is just a metaphorical thank you for helping out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 00:47, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Help Survey
Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.
Thank you for your time,

Louis Hartz on Plato's Dialectic
Hi, I can't find the article online either. My copy of it is reprinted in a collection of essays about the dialectic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clandarkfire (talk • contribs) 02:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Hartz
Yes, it's in the magazine "Political Theory," published in 1988. There's a collection of several of Hartz's works, which are together grouped under the title "Louis Hartz: The Final Years, the Unknown Work." They're all edited by Patrick Riley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clandarkfire (talk • contribs) 03:11, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Book of Isaiah
Please don't think I'm trying to suppress your material, it's just that I can't give in-depth explanations in an edit summary.
The point I'm trying to make is that practically no modern scholars think the book is by Isaiah or even by one author - I think we have a source saying that. In addition, Josephus and Eusebius are ancient primary sources, and we should be using modern secondary ones (it's safer - if we use primary sources we ignore the work of scholars). Finally, this is not the use for which footnotes are intended - they should simply refer the reader to the source of statements made in the article, so that they can be checked - comment like this, if it stands, needs to be in the body of the article. I don't think, however, that it would be accepted into the body, given (a) the overwhelming modern conclusion that the book is by multiple authors and contains only small pieces by Isaiah, and (b) the fact that it's talking about ancient authors.
Anyway, if you feel strongly about this, then Talk is the place to go. PiCo (talk) 08:41, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Nice
hello atethnekos Nice was annexed in France at the same time and under the same conditions as Savoy. Both appoint niçois Garibaldi and Laurenti-Roubaudi sent this letter of protest to the Parliament of Turin to denounce the conditions of the plebiscite: Babylon 10 letter of garibaldi traduce in english
" Mister President,
" Seen the result of the vote of the county of Nice, which took place on 15 inst., without any legal guarantee, in obvious violation of the freedom and the regularity of the ballot and the pledges were stipulated in the treaty of transfer of March 24th;
" Waited, that such a vote took place in a country which nominally still belonged to the Sardinian State and which was free to choose between this one and France, but which was in reality completely in the hands of this last power, occupied militarily and subjected to all the influences of the material strength, as us prove him(it) without possible contesting the testimonies of the Chamber(room) and the country; " Since the present vote took place with very grave irregularities, but which the experience(experiment) of past refuses us any hope to see orderly a survey(investigation) on this subject;
" We undersigned, believe of our duty to put down(to deposit) our representatives' mandate(representatives' money order) of Nice, by protesting against the act of fraud and violence committed, until the time(weather) and the circumstances allow we and our fellow countrymen to assert(to derive profit from) with a real freedom our rights, which cannot be decreased by an illegal and fraudulent pact "

Reviewer and Rollback
Hey Atethnekos, just wanted to let you know that I have enabled Reviewer per your request. I also noticed that you did not have rollback rights so I went ahead and tacked that on too. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 00:22, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Atethnekos, and welcome to STiki! Thank you for your recent contributions using our tool. We at STiki hope you like using the tool and decide to continue using it in the future. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Here are some pages which are a little more fun:
We hope you enjoy maintaining Wikipedia with STiki! If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions don't hesitate to drop a note over at the STiki talk page and we'll be more than happy to help. Again, welcome, and thanks! West.andrew.g (talk) 05:56, 26 February 2013 (UTC) |

- I noticed that you didn't find too many vandalisms/reverts in your trial with STiki. Possibly due to some recent attention around my account (RfA), the tool has been seeing a lot of throughput recently. It's kind of a paradoxical effect, but the more popular the tool, the less "success" individual users will experience. Under more "normal" conditions, most users find 33%+ of displayed edits will be revert worthy. I/we hope you'll give it another try some time and have some better luck. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 05:56, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, Andrew, if I may call you that. I'm still getting used to the tool; I'll be trying it out for the next little while, at least. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 07:10, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

"It's all Greek to me!"
Are you Greek? Do you speak Greek? How much Greek do you know? Is your user name - Atethnekos - a Greek name? Do you worship the Greek gods, or are you Greek Orthodox? 65.24.105.132 (talk) 00:21, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not Greek, nor orthodox, nor do I worship Greek gods. I studied Classical Greek at the undergraduate and graduate level. Classical Greek is generally not spoken, only read, and is significantly different from Modern Greek (You might compare Middle English with today's English to get a sense of the amount of difference. The difference between Old English and Modern English would be an even greater difference than the difference between Classical Greek and Modern Greek, which is pretty amazing considering that Classical Greek is around 2400 years old whereas Old English is around 1100 years old).
- The name is a neologism which is basically Ancient Greek. tethnekos or τεθνηκώς can indicate a dead person, so atethnekos or ἀτεθνηκώς suggests an undead person. But it's not a word that actually occurs in the corpus of ancient Greek literature. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 22:13, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Germanic peoples
hi can you please add a paragraph on the Germanic peoples article lead about modern-day germanic peoples with a list of them, at first it seemed that people were against including that paragraph but consensus later changed on the talkpage with among others you and other people arguing it was correct i cannot edit the page myself like that because it is protected and i neither cannot make a edit request at the articles talkpage for some reasons thanks 95.195.203.178 (talk) 16:31, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'll look into how the paragraph in the lede can be made a little clearer. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 02:55, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. I've noticed it's been a while since you've been active at DRN, and we could really use your help!

Hello. You seem adept at diffusing tensions in Talk:Race and intelligence in the past which have been extremely helpful. If you have the time, could you take a look at the current discussion in Talk?
