Greece was nominated as a Geography and places good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (October 3, 2017). There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated. |

Almost every other country has a bigger establishment section with kingdoms from antiquity or middle ages till present being listed in the establishment part of the info box. One of the only countrys who dont is Greece. DaManFrFr ( talk) 00:44, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
The fact that other countries' articles are much larger in size, but bear no "too long to read" tag, makes your edit somewhat "unfair".
Greece's article is currently —2 Novemer 2023— at 313,954 bytes
Examples of country-articles exceeding Greece's byte-size but having no tag:
India, a featured article of 315,818 bytes,
Israel (at 402,037 bytes),
The United Stated (316,851 bytes),
China (at 352,561 bytes)
and more.
Excuse my tone, but unless you manage to provide me with a rationale supporting your edit, or with a set of suggestions on improving the article by properly reducing its size, and if you are unwilling or unable to explain why the other articles bear no such tag, I'll have to revert your edit as unjustifiable and/or biassed.
Thank you,

This article has the Transcontinental countries category, but is only listed (and considered) as a country in Europe. Shouldn't it be removed? Deiadameian ( talk) 14:54, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Tpbradbury has recently trimmed the article as it was too long. I have reverted some parts of his edits in the article's "History" section for reasons that are explained in the summary of each of my edits and trimmed other parts trying to explain in my edits's summaries why it is preferable to delete or shorten these other sentences or phrases instead of others.
