Your edits to Greece

Nice work on the Greece article - (I suppose you are also the anon who made the big additions earlier, right?) I'd only suggest you consider if the additions aren't a bit large for that summary article. It might be better to merge details into the sub-article Economy of Greece, and possibly even create another such sub-article for the technology section to keep it balanced. If necessary, I could create the article for you to fill in if you like; I think very new users can't create new articles from scratch. Please see Wikipedia:Summary style for recommendations on how to keep large articles well organized, and don't hesitate to ask me if you want further help! Thanks, Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Alphabank.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alphabank.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Images

Sorry for bothering you again, but here's another word of advice about the architecture images you've been uploading. They are nice, for sure, but you haven't included any copyright information and as far as I can see these are probably copyrighted, and thus we can't use them. Please see Wikipedia:Image use policy and Wikipedia:Copyrights. If you want to use these in an article, you need to actually write to the owners of the webpages and ask them for permission, as described in Wikipedia:Example requests for permission.

Thanks for your note, yes, that was the right place to reach me :-) I'm on my way out right now, will be back later. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Arbitrary conclusion?

How is that [1] an arbitrary conclusion, Stef? If you take a look at the study in question, you will see that only Malta and Cyprus have a higher percentage of people responding that they "believe in God". Porfyrios 17:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I think that it is one thing to "believe in God" and another "being religious". Someone may be a "believer" - believe in "God" (any "God" or a specific "God")- without being "religious" - adhere to "religion". Just because most Greeks said they "believe in God", it does not mean that they adhere to "religion", nor that this perecentage considers themselves "religious", nor that they are the "most religious" people after Cyprus and Malta. Also, in the context it was put, "most religious" may imply fervent belief (even relatively). However, the Eurobarometer did not measure how strongly people in these countries feel about the statement "I believe in God".

I don't really think that statement could be misinterpreted to indicate the "fervency" of believers. Seeing how the question involved belief in a "personal god", I still think that to take this as an indication of religiosity would not be too far off the mark. I'm not going to insist, however, as I do understand your objection. Having said that, you can't deny that the percentage of persons stating they believe in God, in relation to other countries, is certainly an interesting matter. It is on these grounds that I have made additions based on the research in question to several European countries' entries (with another wikipedian even inserting a coloured chart titled "European belief in God" in the entry for atheism[2]). Porfyrios 18:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I've entered a statement that reads "Greece's percentage of respondents asserting that they "believe in God" was the third highest among EU members." I believe it is a factual statement that does not leave room for any misinterpretation, and serves the purpose of reporting spiritual beliefs in Greece quite well. What do you say? Porfyrios 18:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I think thats perfect. Stef79 19:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to LGBT rights in Greece has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

File permission problem with File:Athens Pride parade - June 9 2012.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Athens Pride parade - June 9 2012.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not continue to upload files with missing or false information on their copyright status, as you did with File:Athens Pride parade - June 9 2012.jpeg. Please note that Wikipedia takes copyright and copyright infringement very seriously. Images and other media may only be uploaded and included if they meet the conditions stated in our image use policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:21, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
