Welcome to Wikipedia![edit]

Hello Maggas, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:

Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
Use the Show preview button
Provide an Edit summary
Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
Create a User page
Be bold
Ignore all rules

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax ^τεχ 23:27, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy[edit]

Hi there! I've noticed that you've edited articles pertaining to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the WikiProject dedicated to organizing and improving articles on the subject, which can be found at: WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy. This WikiProject was begun because a need was perceived to raise the level of quality of articles on Wikipedia which deal with the Eastern Orthodox Church.

You can find information on the project page about the WikiProject, as well as how to join and how to indicate that you are a member of the project. Additionally, you may be interested in helping out with our collaboration of the month. I hope you'll consider joining and thank you for your contributions thus far! —A.S.

Graphic of Greek borders[edit]

Did you create the graphic of Greece's changing borders which you installed at History of Greece? It has at least two errors

The Treaty of Sevres did not give Constantinople to Greece. The Straits were made a demilitarised zone and their ultimate fate was left to be determined.
Tenedos is shown as Greek in 1945, which is incorrect (and technically Greece did not get the Dodecanise until 1946). Adam 07:47, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A map showing the Treaty of Sevres cannot show Constantinople and the Straits as belonging to Greece, because the Treaty didn't give them to Greece. It placed them in a "status to be determined" category. If the Greco-Turkish war hadn't happened, Greece would have kept Smyrna, East Thrace, Imbros and Tenedos, but would only have got Constantinople if the Powers decided to give it to her. I will try and make a more accurate map (although I do like your graphic device). Adam 08:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will advise when I have done one. Adam 10:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will do some research on North Epirus - I'm surprised to see we don't have an article on it, by the way. Adam 01:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Our article Epirus (region) doesn't say that Greece occupied North Epirus during the Balkan Wars, but if they did they withdrew in 1913 when the region was awarded to Albania. Greece occupied the area in 1919 and set up a North Epirus Autonomous Region. But the Treaty of Lausanne gave it back to Albania and Greece withdrew in 1924. Adam 04:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is an article at Northern Epirus.--ΚέκρωΨ 06:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Logof.PNG)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Logof.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 09:03, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Receiving the Holy Light at Easter.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Receiving the Holy Light at Easter.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 12:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Image for deletion[edit]

Hi, sorry but I have proposed an image of yours for deletion. Please see: Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2007 September 17#Image:Greecethroughyears.png. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:16, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:St George 40th Anniversary.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:St George 40th Anniversary.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 00:07, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
