Dear Konstantinos! Are these 4 unresolved requests still open? I think, I can get it for you. -- Doc Taxon ( talk) 16:58, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Konstantinos, happy New Year. :-) Could I ask you a favour? I'm nominating Icelandic Phallological Museum for Today's Featured Article but would like to increase its score. It's only 5 languages off being a "widely covered" topic. Would you mind translating the stub article at User:Prioryman/Icelandic Phallological Museum summary for the Greek wiki?

Hallo Costantine
I wish you a happy 2013! BTW, I just finished the book that you advised me to read about Byzantium in the iconoclastic age. Great! The only problem now is that I must correct a great part of my articles about the City :-) Bye,

Thanks for your dedication to article writing, and especially for your contributions to Bajkam, which definitely enabled the article to attain GA status. dci | TALK 00:04, 5 January 2013 (UTC) |
I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

I believe the article should be named by his given name in Greece, since he was born in Greece. The Greek version of his name is Antetokoumpo. Adetokoubo is not his actual Greek name. Since he was born in Greece, and that is the official spelling of his name in Greek, say on his Greek passport, then I believe that is the spelling that should be used.

They are correct, Middle Persian and Parthian are full of historical spellings - they are spelled as spʾhpt and spʾdpty in Middle Persian and Parthian, respectively, but are read as spāhbed.

Hi,
I hate to bother you about this and if you are too busy please forget about this message.-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 21:24, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Please stop adding, or rather dumping, irrelevant material from Byzantine articles on early Muslim ones, without bothering to check if it really fits: there is e.g. no reason why Constans' supposed dream from the Battle of the Masts should appear in an article on the Battle of Siffin. Please sift more carefully through the material you want to add and add only what is directly pertinent per WP:SS. Then of course there are a few other edits that are simply incorrect, such as the connection between the 7th-century Muslim conquests and the inter-Muslim rivalries with the Greco-Persian wars of antiquity, or the confusion between the Sassanid dynasty and the much later, and thoroughly Muslim, Safavid dynasty. If you do not have the necessary background knowledge to tell the two apart, I strongly suggest you leave these articles alone until you do. -- Constantine ✍ 21:04, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your feed back. I will go through these again and remove the bits that need to be removed. I agree with you about the Greco-Persian wars comment. I was going to remove that. I will go through the articles and remove it tomorrow. I will also make other changes as requested. -- Johnleeds1 ( talk) 01:36, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

It must have been some confusion about the geographical definition of the Epirus periphery. Kokolakis is ok for the Vilayet which included also vast areas and reached Shumbin, i.e. almost half modern Albania. It's obvious that the percentages of the modern Periphery were completely different and this is described in detail by Kololakis too. So, I see no reason why this can be considered representative for the specific article. Alexikoua ( talk) 18:59, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Vandal Kingdom is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vandal Kingdom (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Spinning Spark 21:24, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Sorry if i was to rough with Hellenistic Greece. Since many of the articles on Hellenistic period in other languages (for example Hellenismus) link to Hellestic Greece rather than Hellenistic period, i hoped merging the two would prevent this confusion. As i'm sadly not Greek, you're definately more of an authority on this issue than me. Thanks your reasonable comment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vandal Kingdom (2nd nomination) however. Krakkos ( talk) 10:07, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Hey Constantine,
Thanks for giving the Capture of Farurriyah article a better name, and for submitting it for DYK. It's been great having all your contributions on my new articles, and more generally on the subject of early Islamic history. I do think the new article name is more accurate, but I just noticed that there may have been a minor typo in the change. The rendering of the name is given as Faruriyyah in the translation; currently the article name is Farurriyah. I checked and I couldn't find any sources that used the latter rendering. If this is a typo, could you please change the article name to Capture of Faruriyyah?
Thanks, Ro4444 ( talk) 20:30, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Cplakidas! It's been a while since I've interacted with you (about Tuzun, I believe, which I've been a bit sidetracked from), but I thought you might have some interest in this. I've been trying to start up a sort of improvement drive for articles pertaining to 7th-century Sindhi history, immediately preceding and during the Islamic conquest. The conquest was led by Muhammad bin Qasim, whose article will probably be a focus of improvement. If you have any time, your help here would be greatly appreciated, as you seem quite knowledgeable about this era. Also, a growing list of "needy" articles can be found here. dci | TALK 00:07, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi CPlakids, I'm a huge fan of your work. Your maps are fantastic. I have been linking to them repeatedly as part of my podcast "The History of Byzantium." I hate to begin a correspondence in this way because we are all so grateful to you for your hard work. However a listener pointed out two small mistakes on your Vandalic War map. Just little typos on points 6 and 7. Point 6 presumably should be "Vandal outpost" and 7 "Vandal Royal Treasure." Again thank you so much.

Hi Cplakidas, I hate edit wars and I am not going to revert anything. But please know that region is not a parent category. While the province is a administrative unit, region is a geographical unit and they are independent of each other. For example, Fethiye in Muğla Province is in the Mediterranean and Bodrum in the same province is in the Aegean. Please try to collaborate before rushing to edit. Cheers.

Hello, I believe you are the user who went by the previous handle "Constantine". If you are not, I apologize for the mixup. If you are, I just wanted to draw your attention to the sassanid empire page. If you recall, back in 2011, there was a long debate over the accuracy of the sassanid empire map. We both objected to it (me for the eastern border, and you for the western border), though you were the lead on the issue. I just wanted to draw your attention to the page since a new (or old user) decided to restore the old over-extensive version showing sassanid rule right up to the gates of Constantinople. I believe the map you uploaded was therefore replaced. Please see here: Old Discussion. Thanks. Devanampriya ( talk) 02:02, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Kosta. Could you have a look here and tell me what you think about my proposal? To summarize, that is that the apparent contradictions between sources on Triarchy of Negroponte come from the fact that the pre-70's authors are ultimately based on K. Hopf's works, and that there was a turning point with the works of Loenertz, who made considerable corrections about what was considered a consensus, and who was generally followed (as far as I know) by specialized authors (Setton, Jacoby, Koder...). I propose therefore to made corrections in the articles involved (for example Guglielmo II da Verona) according to Loenertz and post-Loenertz sources, and to reject earlier versions in note (as they are present in lots of older or non-specialized works). What do you think?-- Phso2 ( talk) 09:10, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
You can read about the vilayet law of 1864, which preceded the one in 1871, in the following sources: Turkish Public Administration: From Tradition to the Modern Age, Haifa in the Late Ottoman Period 1864-1914, Governing Property, Making the Modern State (the latter is perhaps the most detailed). So I think it makes sense to choose 1864 as the starting point of the transition from traditional to province-based administration, especially as it was never concluded in some parts of the Empire.-- eh bien mon prince ( talk) 11:54, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Since you are mostly focused in the Byzantine Empire, just wanna inform you that a specific user leads an extreme pov national campaign which now extents from medieval to modern era historical articles. A latest childish example is this one [ [10]], where, no wonder, it perfectly fits the tastes of an extreme national background (not even the 1453 sacking is mentioned, probably because of that reason).

According to http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/saffarids the Saffarid dynasty was an Empire and not a tributary of the Abbasid Caliphate, Iranica is the most reliable source, the Saffarids even tried to invade Baghdad. -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 14:18, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Cplakidas! Could you please translate this description to English if you have some time? It's a single phrase. Thank you. José Luiz talk 21:26, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Hey Cplakidas
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Hallo Constantine,
thanks a lot for the great review! now looks like a Wikipedia article. :-) About the book about "non intervention": this was a book describing the italian action in the non intervention committee established in 1936, with diplomats from UK, France, Italy and Germany (I would have seen one of those meetings :-)). I think that Grandi (at that time ambassador in the UK) was the italian representative. What do you think about the article? Do you think that it is informative for people ignorant about the subject? For me it is difficult to judge, since I bought my first book about fascism when I was 10...

Dear Constantine, I know that we have had a lot of arguments on a certain talk page, BUT hear me out! I am not hear to talk to you about that topic. I am here to talk to you about a possible moving/merging the Roman and Byzantine Empire Articles into one article, given that the Byzantine Empire was referred to as the Roman Empire by other nations when it existed. Since you have the Roman Empire as one of you main interests, I wanted to know your thoughts on this proposal before I propose this on the talk page of both articles.
My second proposal was to have an article about the Early Roman-Sasanian Wars, given that it only has a section on the Roman-Persian Wars conflict called "Early Roman–Sassanid conflicts" whereas the Byzantine-Sassanian Wars has it's own article as well as a section on the Roman-Persian Wars article. IMHO, I believe that the Roman-Sassanid Wars deserve a lot more attention and should have it's own article just like how the Byzantine-Sassanian Wars has it's own article.

Well, I will only say this, yes we both have our disagreements (especially on the Sasanian Empire Map), but users will always either agree or disagree with each other. Oh well; still, I would like to point out that those books that I read were not google books snippets. I have read those books and more at local libraries, but I do not know how to cite them at all. But again, that is not what I wanted to talk you about. I thank you for your advice on the first proposal, I feared the worst when it came to that one and from what you just said my fears are true... :( But on the second proposal I am extremely glad that you agree with me on there and I will do my best to cite and reference as much as I can on that one. Now, when it comes to sources, I recently put up a topic on my talk page literally titled "URGENT NEED OF HELP!!! Citing my sources and how to cite them properly as well as how and where to find the right ones!!!!" and I was wondering if you could visit my talk page just this once and comment on that. Reason being is because I have gotten into argument about the Giant Ground Sloth's extinction date and they told me to cite my sources and find proper and accurate sources, much like how you have told me in the past. That is my 3rd proposal. Peace ☮.

I believe the article should be named by his given name in Greece, since he was born in Greece. The Greek version of his name is Antetokoumpo. Adetokoubo is not his actual Greek name.

They are correct, Middle Persian and Parthian are full of historical spellings - they are spelled as spʾhpt and spʾdpty in Middle Persian and Parthian, respectively, but are read as spāhbed.

Please stop adding, or rather dumping, irrelevant material from Byzantine articles on early Muslim ones, without bothering to check if it really fits: there is e.g. no reason why Constans' supposed dream from the Battle of the Masts should appear in an article on the Battle of Siffin. Please sift more carefully through the material you want to add and add only what is directly pertinent per WP:SS. Then of course there are a few other edits that are simply incorrect, such as the connection between the 7th-century Muslim conquests and the inter-Muslim rivalries with the Greco-Persian wars of antiquity, or the confusion between the Sassanid dynasty and the much later, and thoroughly Muslim, Safavid dynasty. If you do not have the necessary background knowledge to tell the two apart, I strongly suggest you leave these articles alone until you do. -- Constantine ✍ 21:04, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

It must have been some confusion about the geographical definition of the Epirus periphery. Kokolakis is ok for the Vilayet which included also vast areas and reached Shumbin, i.e. almost half modern Albania. It's obvious that the percentages of the modern Periphery were completely different and this is described in detail by Kololakis too. So, I see no reason why this can be considered representative for the specific article. Alexikoua ( talk) 18:59, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Vandal Kingdom is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vandal Kingdom (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Spinning Spark 21:24, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Sorry if i was to rough with Hellenistic Greece. Since many of the articles on Hellenistic period in other languages (for example Hellenismus) link to Hellestic Greece rather than Hellenistic period, i hoped merging the two would prevent this confusion. As i'm sadly not Greek, you're definately more of an authority on this issue than me. Thanks your reasonable comment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vandal Kingdom (2nd nomination) however.

Hey Constantine,
Thanks for giving the Capture of Farurriyah article a better name, and for submitting it for DYK. It's been great having all your contributions on my new articles, and more generally on the subject of early Islamic history. I do think the new article name is more accurate, but I just noticed that there may have been a minor typo in the change. The rendering of the name is given as Faruriyyah in the translation; currently the article name is Farurriyah. I checked and I couldn't find any sources that used the latter rendering. If this is a typo, could you please change the article name to Capture of Faruriyyah?
Thanks, Ro4444 ( talk) 20:30, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Cplakidas! It's been a while since I've interacted with you (about Tuzun, I believe, which I've been a bit sidetracked from), but I thought you might have some interest in this. I've been trying to start up a sort of improvement drive for articles pertaining to 7th-century Sindhi history, immediately preceding and during the Islamic conquest. The conquest was led by Muhammad bin Qasim, whose article will probably be a focus of improvement. If you have any time, your help here would be greatly appreciated, as you seem quite knowledgeable about this era. Also, a growing list of "needy" articles can be found here. dci | TALK 00:07, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi CPlakids, I'm a huge fan of your work. Your maps are fantastic. I have been linking to them repeatedly as part of my podcast "The History of Byzantium." I hate to begin a correspondence in this way because we are all so grateful to you for your hard work. However a listener pointed out two small mistakes on your Vandalic War map. Just little typos on points 6 and 7. Point 6 presumably should be "Vandal outpost" and 7 "Vandal Royal Treasure." Again thank you so much.

Hello, I believe you are the user who went by the previous handle "Constantine". If you are not, I apologize for the mixup. If you are, I just wanted to draw your attention to the sassanid empire page. If you recall, back in 2011, there was a long debate over the accuracy of the sassanid empire map. We both objected to it (me for the eastern border, and you for the western border), though you were the lead on the issue. I just wanted to draw your attention to the page since a new (or old user) decided to restore the old over-extensive version showing sassanid rule right up to the gates of Constantinople. I believe the map you uploaded was therefore replaced. Please see here: Old Discussion. Thanks. Devanampriya ( talk) 02:02, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Kosta. Could you have a look here and tell me what you think about my proposal? To summarize, that is that the apparent contradictions between sources on Triarchy of Negroponte come from the fact that the pre-70's authors are ultimately based on K. Hopf's works, and that there was a turning point with the works of Loenertz, who made considerable corrections about what was considered a consensus, and who was generally followed (as far as I know) by specialized authors (Setton, Jacoby, Koder...). I propose therefore to made corrections in the articles involved (for example Guglielmo II da Verona) according to Loenertz and post-Loenertz sources, and to reject earlier versions in note (as they are present in lots of older or non-specialized works). What do you think?-- Phso2 ( talk) 09:10, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
You can read about the vilayet law of 1864, which preceded the one in 1871, in the following sources: Turkish Public Administration: From Tradition to the Modern Age, Haifa in the Late Ottoman Period 1864-1914, Governing Property, Making the Modern State (the latter is perhaps the most detailed). So I think it makes sense to choose 1864 as the starting point of the transition from traditional to province-based administration, especially as it was never concluded in some parts of the Empire.-- eh bien mon prince ( talk) 11:54, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello Cplakidas! Could you please translate this description to English if you have some time? It's a single phrase. Thank you. José Luiz talk 21:26, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Hey Cplakidas
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.
Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 22:13, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Dear Cplakids, can you please tell me what's wrong here? the source says this: Šāhēn conquered the whole of Asia Minor, entered Chalcedon after a short siege, and encamped within a mile of Constantinople itself, the Persians who in the early seventh century conquered Egypt and Asia Minor lost decisive battles a generation later when nimble, lightly armed Arabs accustomed to skirmishes and desert warfare attacked them. -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 12:27, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Hallo Constantine
Alessandro writing! I hope that you are enjoying summer in Greece as much as i am doing here in Helvetia. I have a little question for you: in 3 days it will be the 70th anniversary of the Fall of Mussolini. i wrote
an article about that, and moreover, I would like to put an entry about the fall on "on this day". Do you know how to do it? I navigated a little bit, but i could not find any guideline... Thanks!

Hallo Constantine,
thanks a lot for the great review! now looks like a Wikipedia article. :-) About the book about "non intervention": this was a book describing the italian action in the non intervention committee established in 1936, with diplomats from UK, France, Italy and Germany (I would have seen one of those meetings :-)). I think that Grandi (at that time ambassador in the UK) was the italian representative. What do you think about the article? Do you think that it is informative for people ignorant about the subject? For me it is difficult to judge, since I bought my first book about fascism when I was 10...

Hello Cplakidas, I'm contacting you because we need some Greek translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on el.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Greek Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral.

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Battle of Hulao you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

The article Battle of Hulao you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Battle of Hulao for things which need to be addressed.

Dear Constantine, I know that we have had a lot of arguments on a certain talk page, BUT hear me out! I am not hear to talk to you about that topic. I am here to talk to you about a possible moving/merging the Roman and Byzantine Empire Articles into one article, given that the Byzantine Empire was referred to as the Roman Empire by other nations when it existed. Since you have the Roman Empire as one of you main interests, I wanted to know your thoughts on this proposal before I propose this on the talk page of both articles.
My second proposal was to have an article about the Early Roman-Sasanian Wars, given that it only has a section on the Roman-Persian Wars conflict called "Early Roman–Sassanid conflicts" whereas the Byzantine-Sassanian Wars has it's own article as well as a section on the Roman-Persian Wars article. IMHO, I believe that the Roman-Sassanid Wars deserve a lot more attention and should have it's own article just like how the Byzantine-Sassanian Wars has it's own article.
What do you think? From, Keeby101. 107.213.82.133 ( talk) 21:13, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
P.S. I do not wish for us to be enemies, if we already are. Peace ☮ 107.213.82.133 ( talk) 21:13, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Well, I will only say this, yes we both have our disagreements (especially on the Sasanian Empire Map), but users will always either agree or disagree with each other. Oh well; still, I would like to point out that those books that I read were not google books snippets. I have read those books and more at local libraries, but I do not know how to cite them at all. But again, that is not what I wanted to talk you about. I thank you for your advice on the first proposal, I feared the worst when it came to that one and from what you just said my fears are true... :( But on the second proposal I am extremely glad that you agree with me on there and I will do my best to cite and reference as much as I can on that one. Now, when it comes to sources, I recently put up a topic on my talk page literally titled "URGENT NEED OF HELP!!! Citing my sources and how to cite them properly as well as how and where to find the right ones!!!!" and I was wondering if you could visit my talk page just this once and comment on that. Reason being is because I have gotten into argument about the Giant Ground Sloth's extinction date and they told me to cite my sources and find proper and accurate sources, much like how you have told me in the past. That is my 3rd proposal. Peace ☮.

I just saw this section at ANI. The one article I clicked on the history of had more edits to it than Pumpie used to do, and better English, but it had the "It has two platforms", and the articles have apparently been created by copying a template example. What do you think? Perhaps he has improved his English to the point where that part of the problem has at least been removed, or perhaps I'm reading too much into the resemblance.

If you go to the Sasanian Empire talk page, you will see that I fixed my map and made it accurate. Keep in mind that I tried REALLY HARD to make the Oxus River boundary. The core territory of the Empire is shown in brown and all areas that were under ephemeral control and/or overrun by the Sasanian Army during the course of the war is shown in orange.

Hi, I noticed that you recently reverted one of my category-related edit with the reason "ISAP stations" already covers this, ISAP is part of the Metro network". However, ISAP doesn't technically exist anymore, or at least since 17 June 2011. Since that date, STASY S.A has been running all three Metro lines (according to Law 3920/2011). I think we should rename "ISAP Stations" to "Stations of the former ISAP" or something similar. Thoughts? -- Marianian( talk) 22:04, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
