May I ask you to stop changing modern Greek placenames to those transcriptions with "gamma"=<y> and "beta"=<v> etc. We try to keep to an established convention with respect to geographic names: With the better-known entities that have well established English names, use the English names (thus: Lesbos, Athens; not Lesvos, Athina); if no such conventional English name exists, transcribe Greek names using the UN/ELOT conventions shown at Romanization of Greek. They have, e.g., "beta"=<v>, but "gamma"=<g>. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Γεια σου Fallacia, τα ξέρω αυτά περί προφοράς του γάμμα και όλα αυτά (είμαι γλωσσολόγος τω επάγγελμα, και το άρθρο μας για τη φονολογία της Ελληνικής το'γραψα εγω.) Όμως, άλλο η προφορά, άλλο οι κανώνες μεταγραμματισμού. Εδώ στη Βικιπέδια αποφασίσαμε να ακολουθούμε αυτούς τους κανώνες που σου είπα, ειναι αυτά που χρησιμοποιούν και στα Ενωμένα Έθνη για τα γεωγραφικά ονόματα.

H

PLEASE stop adding "h" to the Greeklish spellings of words such as "Defteri Agapi" --> "Dhefteri Agapi". We try to keep everything consistent on wikipedia regarding the Greeklish spellings, and adding the "h" dosnt make sense to the average English reader. I will revert your edits. Thank you.

It should be noted that the "h" has been adopted as a Chi (letter). So if you only know english and the "h" is a chi, then its not right. Besides, we get most of the spellings from the official websites of the music artists. Grk1011 (talk) 19:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry that I am typing in English, but I don't have my computer set to type in Greek. A couple Greek users on wikipedia, including me, help make and maintain the Greek related pages. Though you can use the latin spellings for the "Greeklish" translations, to the average English wikipedia reader, the pronunciation does not make sense. For example, it is easier to pronounce "Defteri" instead of "Dhefteri". We try to simplify things, and also keep it consistent. (For example we use "h" instead of "x" or "ch" in translations) Also we use the "Greeklish translations" that come from official sites sometimes too. That is why I changed "Hatziyiannis" back to "Hatzigiannis". His official site used the "Hatzigiannis" and that is also his international tour name. And just to let you know since you mentioned it, I am a first generation Greek-American. Both my parents were born and raised in Greece. I went to Greek school here in the US, talked Greek in the house with my parents and grandparents, and of course visit Greece every year. :) Greekboy (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fallacia, please refer to WP:GREEK. As I told you some time earlier, we have rules for these kinds of issues, you may find them faulty or not, but we do try to follow them here. Gamma = <g>, delta = <d>, chi = <ch>, etc. (Greekboy, sorry I have to correct you on the latter. :-) Giannis [1], Giorgos [2], Michalis [3], Christos [4], Dimitris [5], Papadopoulos, etc. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your Message

Also notice that they gave either 2 or 3 diff ways of translating it. Wikipedia has chosen one of them and that is the one we use. We're not saying that you are wrong, we just cant have several ways of transliterating the same letter. Grk1011 (talk) 19:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Fallacia83. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Fallacia83~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
