Πανούσης και Άσιμος

Γεια. Είδα ότι είχες ξεκινήσει άρθρα για τον Πανούση και τον Άσιμο στην ελληνική Βικιπαίδεια και έβαλες insue, αλλά δεν γράφτηκε τίποτα για 4 μήνες. Θα ήθελα να σε ρωτήσω αν θεωρείς αυτά τα άρθρα ακόμα inuse, γιατί θα ήθελα να γράψω πέντε πράγματα για τον Άσιμο. Ευχαριστώ.

Pw pw pw ta 3exasa re mik2... ta 3exasa teleiws :) sorry! dika soy! kanta oti 8es! :) sorry, again!

Sorry for using greek. It's because I post this to ask Project2501a something about the greek wikipedia, where he is also a user. Since he seems inactive there and active in the english one, I thouth I had to ask him here if I wanted to get an answer. --Mik2 21:14, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Παρεπιπτόντως, γιατί δε γράφεις στη ελληνική βικιπαίδεια; Βλέπω στην αγγλική κάνεις πολύ αξιόλογα πράγματα.--Mik2 20:12, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Απλούστατα: Ζύγησε σε ποιούς απευθήνεται η Ελληνική Βικιπέδια και σε ποιούς η Αγγλική. Ποιά έχει το μεγαλύτερο αντίκτηπο; Project2501a 10:31, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Με αυτή τη λογική δεν θα έπρεπε να υπάρχει καμία άλλη βικιπαίδεια παρά μόνο η Αγλλική αφού φαντάζομαι οι περισσότεροι χρήστες του ιντερενετ μιλάν αγγλικά. Οι βικιπαίδειες όμω σε άλλες γλώσσες είναι χρήσιμες αφού όπως και να το κάνεις είναι πολύ εύκολότερο για τη συντριπτικη πλειοψηφία να διαβάζει στη μητρική του γλώσσα. Τέλος πάντων, το που θα γράφεις αφορά μόνο εσένα και κανέναν άλλον. Όσον αφορά τον Άσιμο έγραψα κάτι. Αν σε ανδιαφέρει ρίξε μία ματιά ή/και πρόσθεσε τίποτα αν θες. Γειά!--Mik2 19:10, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Copyrights in Greece

The article stub is all well and good, but it doesn't answer the question: can we use Greek military logos for these articles? Does Greece have an equivalent to the US public domain military where you can use non-classified images taken by military photographers in the course of their official duties? If so, we should create a {{pd-military-greece}} tag for them. --Jpbrenna 21:04, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

King levitation

Hi there,
I disagree that magic tricks aren't covered by copyright and I agree with the anon. They are creative works by a single person and should not be reproduced without their permission. Whether it's the trick or the written instructions that are copyrighted is unimportant. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:05, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

• Well, ellusionist.com obviously isn't breaking copyright laws. Corey himself agreed to sell the effect through them. Do you think, we shouldn't protect the secret of recently created commercial magic effects anyway, regardless of whether it's really copyright protected or not? To me it seems unfair, to make a product freely available when people should actually pay for the secret. Not to mention the fact that whoever posted it broke the magician's oath. - Mgm|^(talk) 14:21, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Vergina's comment

I think, I'll have to correct you. I perfectly know that removing comments is bad taste, but: 1. There is a comment section, specially designed for that 2. Vergina's comment is disrupting the numbering script of the "Macedonians" vote 3. I haven't removed it, I have just replaced it in the lower part of the talk page.:) Also, Vergina's comment is out of context. I do believe that you actually haven't seen the contents of the talk page - there is a poll whether the article should be named "Macedonians" or "Macedonian Slavs" (actually, it is more like proving whether Greeks or Macedonians are more numerous on Wikipedia). Considering that you are Greek, or somehow related to Greece, please vote on the "Slavs" side, and deprive me from my nationality. Actually, I prefer to be called a Macedonian Ape, instead. Best regards. --FlavrSavr 07:43, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

In an edit summary, you wrote:

1. I'm not going to correct andriatic sea to Adriatic Sea in the quoted text (since your notice above says not to (:-) but,
2. The part about go jump in the andriatic sea seems a bit hostile

Hand on the Torch

The reason I removed the Hip hop and Jazz album categories from Hand on the Torch was that I filed Category:Us3 albums there, so there's no reason for an album in that category to be filed separately in the same categories. There's actually a fairly clear Wikipedia policy about not filing articles simultaneously in categories and subcategories of the same category. Bearcat 23:02, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Macedonian Slav Poll

If you are interested, there's a poll going on: Talk:Macedonian_Slavs Etz Haim 20:09, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wolf cry :D

Yup, you're right, I did wolf-cried a bit, but that was due to the fact that I agree with the same things that you mentioned - I still hardly consider the poll relevant - it only provides a frame to make a point. Considering the fact that international organizations do recognize people X as Macedonians, the fact that I was the one to gave an acceptable compromising proposal Macedonians (nationality), and the fact that I am a member of people X, is hard not to become a pathetical wolf. :D Peace. --FlavrSavr 23:16, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Logical fallacy - the discussion is about the people X, not the state of the people X. Wolf wins! Peace :) --FlavrSavr 23:39, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Darn, have I just used Wikipedia to make a point, again? Ok, whatever. :) Au revoir. --FlavrSavr 00:15, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You too made a point, you... you... Greek! :D I hate ouzo. I drink it to destroy it, and I have made significant efforts to that cause. I hate Metaxa, Pilavas and especially no.12 (Dodeka) ouzo. I usually use some salad to wash that Hellenic taste from my mouth! However, I reluctantly accept your offer, so let's make a virtual toast right now. --FlavrSavr 08:37, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You really did drink that ouzo, didn't you? :D --FlavrSavr 04:17, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

3D view of Patras

Regarding your earlier request: I was playing around with some software, and tried the free NASA software Worldwind http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/. I think I made you a nice view of Patras here: Image:Patras NASA WorldWind.jpg. You can't get closer since the resolution of the initial satellite images is not good enough, but i think it looks good. Feel free to download the software yourself and play around with it if you need more pics. Happy editing -- Chris 73 Talk 15:51, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Unsigned comment left by User:Hubstack on my user page.

The statistics are available from Census 2000, conducted by the United States Census Bureau, for which I am a former employee. The statistics are available at www.census.gov. I can provide exact numbers if you like. I am a professional demographer and noticed that several of the ethnic, ancestry, and racial statements were not accurate. New Jersey is NOT the most Italian-American state in the nation. It is third, after Rhode Island and Connecticut. Additonally, New Jersey does NOT have anywhere near the highest percentage of non-whites or African Americans of any state. NJ is 66% non-Hispanic white (14% black, 13% Hispanic, 6% Asian). States that have a greater percentage of minorities (with approximate percentages) include: New York (16% black, 15% Hispanic, 6% Asian) Maryland (28% black) DC (60% black, 7% Hispanic) Georgia (29% black, 5% Hispanic) Florida (16% Hispanic, 14% black) Mississippi (36% black) Louisiana (32% black) Texas (32% Hispanic, 12% black) New Mexico (42% Hispanic, 10% Indian) Arizona (25% Mexican, 5% Indian) Nevada (19% Hispanic, 7% black) California (32% Hispanic, 12% Asian, 7% black) Hawaii (58% Asian, 23% multi-racial, 19% Pacific, 7% Hispanic)

AlMac Thanks You

Thanks for your support with respect to my Computer security audits. I have a lot of information I want to share, having been in computers for over 40 years, and in Computer security for about 20 years. My main problem is how to communicate effectively for the relevant community. I have the same problem in my career. Co-workers want sound-bytes. I want to explain options.

Hopefully I will get it right before Y"all lose patience with me. AlMac 7 July 2005 22:18 (UTC)

I've re-reverted them. It may be a different branch of the computer sciences, but the stub has not been cleared by the stub sorting wikiproject. Furthermore, there do not appear to currently be enough stubs for such a se[arate category - criteria for the creaton of a new stub category are a minimum of 60, and preferably 100 stubs..

Greece Interstate 1

Since Greece isn't a federation of states like the USA or Germany, I don't think this term is an appropriate translation. I don't even know what the proper Greek is: I've tried Goggling δρόμος δημόσιος & όδος δημόσια, but neither turned up anything official. Googling in English seems to turn up "National Road." I need to know: what is the official term in Greek, the official English translation (if any), and then I will need your support when I nominate this and the other Greek highway articles for pagemove. --Jpbrenna 23:14, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
