DYK for Epi tou eidikou[edit]

On 9 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Epi tou eidikou, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Byzantine official known as epi tou eidikou was responsible for providing all kinds of matériel for the Byzantine military, including Arab clothing for spies? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added 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.

February 2016[edit]

Hello, I'm DatGuy. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Idalion Tablet with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 17:36, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can expand the lede in the following 24h. I also believe the figurines section should be trimmed, while the existing part, as it is, can become a new seperate article. What's your opinion on that?Alexikoua (talk) 19:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Section on figurines doesn't appear to need any trimming and I approve/appreciate your initiative on expanding the lead. Theban Halberd (talk) 21:06, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and some advice[edit]

Hi there, first of all thank you for your excellent work at Greeks and other articles. You have made some needed changes and the articles are in much better shape as a result. Just a couple of things, however, to help you improve your experience on wikipedia. First, it is very helpful to other users, and reduces the chances of your edits being reverted, if you use an edit-summary to explain your edits. This is standard practice in wikipedia. Second, it would be better if you did not mark major edits as "minor", for example this edit [2]. While certainly a good edit, it is definitely not minor. Last, you may want to consider creating a user page (and you can just leave it blank if you don't want to say anything about yourself), so that your username does not appear in red letters. For a number of reasons, "redlinked" accounts are taken less seriously in the wikipedia community, and have a higher probability of having their edits reverted. Let me know if you have any questions, and happy editing. Athenean (talk) 07:48, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 20[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Byzantine Greeks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tactica. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Explanation on Greeks[edit]

Please explain how Greek people are indigenous to Italy? At the same time Greeks migrated to southern Italy, Greek colonies were heavily found in the southern France and some in southeastern Spain (both absent from your list). Those of Celtic origin settled northern Italy. Celts are not indigenous to Italy. Totally misleading information -- Galati

Next time you edit on Wikipedia, please give this review your attention, and at least post something to the review page. It has been three weeks since the article was put on hold, and the nomination will likely close soon as unsuccessful if you do not respond in the very near future. I hope you return soon. Thanks.
