When you are in a content dispute you should not be reverting labelling something as vandalism. Pico explained why he removed the section, it wasn't vandalism. Dougweller ( talk) 07:16, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
I have a question about something you added to List of Greek phrases some five years ago, specifically that Ἀεί ὁ θεός ὁ μέγας γεωμετρεί is a mnemonic for pi. diff The article currently attributes it to Plato, citing Plutarch's Symposiacs, but that source does not say that it is a mnemonic for pi ( here). It seems odd to me that people who did not use decimal notation would have a mnemonic for a decimal notation and it has come up regarding another article. Could you provide a source for this fact? RJC Talk Contribs 16:47, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello, just wanted to tell you that the epithet "white-armed", which you placed on the Individuals list as belonging to Hera and Nausicaa, is already on the General list, since it belongs to several different people. I'm going to remove the epithet from the Individuals list, unless you think that it is clearer to tell which women the epithet applies to. Personally I value conciseness more in this case, since the list would become incredibly long if common epithets were listed under multiple people. — Eru· tuon 16:19, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
You note in your edit summary "per talk", but the talk page consensus seems firmly against inclusion. Did you perhaps misread this, as it is spread over two sections? -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 07:56, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Hello. I just wanted to inform you about Wikipedia's stylistic conventions against the use of italics in Greek characters. Italics are not necessary in the case of non-Latin characters; the difference with "normal Latin text" is obvious.
Please check also this old discussion on the matter: Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(text_formatting)/Archive_1#Italics_in_Cyrillic_and_Greek_characters. Thanks. -- Omnipaedista ( talk) 03:16, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Odysses, thank you for adding the Numismatic museum in the list. About Achaea, although geographically it is part of Pelopnnese, its article states clearly that it is part of the "region" of West Greece, which is why I had placed it there. I have done all the classification of the list based on these administrative "regions", so I'm not sure if this move is in line with the rest. Hoverfish Talk 03:31, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of recorded inscriptions in ancient Greek mythology 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/List of recorded inscriptions in ancient Greek mythology 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 notice from the top of the article. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:43, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Atlas (mythology), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hyades. 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.

Hi, The page Refugees of the Syrian Civil War concerns only Syrian refugees, not total refugees. In the country table, you have replaced 5,129 Syrian asylum applications to Greece, with "30,000+" and another reference. The reference you provided is for total refugee applications. Could you please undo and revert to previously provided number of Syrian refugee applications. thanks so much Robert Brukner ( talk) 19:30, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
Ignore the previous comment. I have used both references, update the arrivals to Feb 2016, and recalculated the estimated applicants (its over 33,500+ now) Robert Brukner ( talk) 19:41, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Do you have a source for the actual numbers of refugees now currently in Greece? I've seen numbers for arrivals and estimates of asylum applications. But I've never seen estimates for departures.

Hi,
On 12 March 2006, you edited the Odysseus page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Odysseus&diff=43416188&oldid=43412997) to include a story about Odysseus jumping on his shield when he first arrived at Troy: "When the Achaean ships reached the shores of Troy, none would jump ashore, since there was an oracle that the first Achaean to jump on Trojan soil would die. Odysseus tossed his shield on the shore and jumped on his shield. He was followed by Protesilaus who jumped on Trojan soil and he was the first to die."
I've been searching for a source for this story for hours, and can't find one. Could you please let me know where this story comes from?
