Image Tagging Image:Sagarios.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sagarios.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Sue Anne 09:43, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Pentemili.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Pentemili.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:04, 12 November 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 07:04, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Kypros140874EastSector.PNG

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Kypros140874EastSector.PNG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 11:16, 29 May 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:16, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Xristar, I have started a new article entitled "Combat Losses of the Turkish Invasion of Cyprus", which comprises much more extensive content than the older article "Reported Military Losses of the Turkish Invasion of Cyprus." I was wondering if you could check it and give me your opinion on the layout and info.

Many thanks Copperhead331 (talk) 22:24, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Greek generals

When you next have access to the ΔΙΣ/ΓΕΣ books, could you do me a favour? I've written several articles on early 20th-century Greek generals, but good information is frustratingly hard to find online. I haven't been able to find the death date for Konstantinos Miliotis-Komninos and Nikolaos Delagrammatikas, for instance, and in other cases (see Category:Hellenic Army generals), the best I could do was write a stub. I don't know what material ΔΙΣ has on such men, but any information would be appreciated. A few quick scans might also do, if you have the time ;) Cheers, Constantine ✍ 13:52, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I see, pity. I'll try your suggestion, thanks! Constantine ✍ 15:37, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Battle of Vevi (1941)

Gday. I have no problem with you adding that source; however, pls don't use Greek - pls translate it into English. Few of our readers are likely to be able to read Greek. Thanks. Anotherclown (talk) 06:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

ELBO Leonidas-2

Please read WP:NCMAC and note that policy on the English language wikipedia is to refrain from using the FYROM acronym in reference to that country. Thanks! Dolescum (talk) 20:45, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Military of Greece may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• |amount=€3.272 billion. (2012)<ref>[http://eda.europa.eu/info-hub/defence-data-portal/Greece/year/2012</ref>

Kilkis-Lachanas pic

I can confirm that the pic belongs to this war (there was a "Lekfkoma Valkanikon Polemon" for the 100 years anniversary that includes this one). The soldiers wear the typical Greek Army uniform. However, I believe this pic is probably more related to the Battle of Kresna.Alexikoua (talk) 12:26, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

June 2014

Please do not add or change content, as you did to List of equipment of the Hellenic Army, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Do not restore unsourced material unless you also provide a reliable source for it! Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a blog or a web forum where you can post whatever you want.

Battle of Crete Casualties

I noticed you removed my statistics about German deaths and my source with no explanation. Why? The source was a compilation of info from the Library of Congress, assembled by a historian, so I'm not aware of any reliability issues. Indy beetle (talk) 14:53, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
