Hi, about an year ago, you added some text to Ancient Greece with references to Garrison, 1966; Nuland, 1988 and Strathern. Could you, please, clarify, what do they refer to, because it is currently very unclear. Thanks. Svick (talk) 10:57, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmmm, I vaguely remember that edit. As I recall, I was mostly restoring text from an older version of the page, which had been cut out of the article for no apparent reason. The Garrison and Nuland references definitely weren't added by me - I don't deny restoring them, but I've never heard of them, and I don't use the "harvnb" template.
Strathern though, I can help you with. The citation is:
Thanks for the reference (unfortunately, I didn't notice that the Strathern reference was removed from the article, so I didn't really need it). I searched the history of the article (using WikiBlame) and it doesn't seem that there ever was reference to Garrison before you entered it. Isn't it possible that you copied it from another article? Id yes, you won't happen to remember from where, would you? Thanks. Svick (talk) 15:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think that I did copy over some text from the articles that that section summarizes (probably the lead sections of the articles) However, I've just checked Ancient Greek Medicine—which I suppose is where I originally copied the text from—and if the Garrison and Nuland references were from there, they aren't anymore. It seems the article had has a substantial re-write since.
I would guess that Nuland is from this book: [1], and Garrison is from this book [2], but I'm not certain, and (obviously) haven't read them. Sorry I can't be more help! MinisterForBadTimes (talk) 16:21, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have done what I should have do a while ago: search for the text you copied, and it seems you copied it from Hippocrates. That article has the full references. Thanks for cooperation. Svick (talk) 17:14, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Well, I'm glad that's cleared up. Apologies for creating any problems. MinisterForBadTimes (talk) 17:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. I was trying to cut through what I found to be a rather large mess in Achaean related articles (i.e. 'Achaea' and 'Achaeans' ending at totally different subjects, when they should both really be disambiguated). I made sure that I undid any double re-directs, but forgot about linking within other articles. I will get to work on sorting them out. M.F.B.T.Yes, Minister? 13:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article starts from Peloponnesus, should n't we start from either Alphabetical order of regions, or extreme south (crete) or extreme north (macedon) or by using some similar formula?Megistias (talk) 23:36, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1) At articles like Wars of the Delian League you should avoid personal conclusions unsupported by any sources - territorial changes aren't always indicator of result of victory or defeat. Example is First Persian invasion of Greece where Persian subjugated some Greek territories, but none of sources claim it was "Persian victory" (which according your resulting-system actually is). Think about it.
2) I've noticed that you made most of articles about ancient battles, so why there is no battle of the Jaxartes on Wikipedia?
Cheers! :)
Please check this and say your opinion. --93.143.39.39 (talk) 15:23, 22 May 2010 (UTC) (Orijentolog)[reply]
OK, I saw your answer about Thermopylae on Dougweller's talk page. I'm glad that we both agree it was decisive but without sources. The same goes for battle of the Persian Gates - identical situation, but I won't forcing removing "decisive" because there's no sources, coz it would be childish. :) Enjoy! --93.143.35.106 (talk) 21:42, 21 June 2010 (UTC)(Orijentolog)[reply]

Please check this change at Greco-Persian Wars (I hope I'm not bored with this one again); it's not kind a dispute, just adding some more facts and information - for example, there was big defect by excluded Artaxerxes I who was CINC for 16 years during the war.--93.143.58.151 (talk) 09:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)(Orijentolog)[reply]

Maybe you'll say it doesn't follow Wikipedia rules or that I'm to sentimental about the issue, but should we put some header in article Battle of Marathon to mark 2,500th anniversary of that battle (till September 10)? It's kind of unique opportunity in lifetime. ;) --93.143.18.35 (talk) 23:27, 21 August 2010 (UTC)(Orijentolog)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Rise of Macedon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Doru (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
