Βελανίδια

Another editor created an article in Greek on en:Velanidia (Laconia), Greece in the English Wikipedia, where it will probably be deleted. I do not read Greek, but I have taken the text of that article and added it to the Greek Wikipedia at Βελανίδια. It is only a stub. If you think that the subject of the article is notable, please expand it and assign it to a category, or merge the article into an existing one. --Eastmain 16:32, 24 Ιανουαρίου 2007 (UTC)

Greek Wikitravel Expedition

Yia sas to all. My name is Evan, and I'm a Greek-American Wikipedian. I don't speak Greek very well, so I'm going to try to do this in English.

I'm one of the founders of Wikitravel, a project for creating a free, complete, up-to-date and reliable world-wide travel guide in multiple languages. We currently have active wikis in 16 languages (see http://wikitravel.org/shared/Multilingual_statistics for an overview) and projects to start several more (we call them "expeditions", see http://wikitravel.org/shared/Language_Expeditions for an idea).

Our newest expedition is to try to start a Greek-language Open Content travel guide. I think it's ambitious, but I also think that the success of Greek Wikipedia shows that this kind of project is possible. I'd like to invite people interested in travel, in new wikis, in promoting the Greek language, and in spreading Open Content in Greek, to review the Greek Wikitravel Expedition and consider helping us get it started.

Thanks for your time. --Evan Prodromou 02:32, 4 Απριλίου 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I'd also appreciate suggestions for other places to ask. Is there a "Greek Slashdot"? Influential bloggers that may help? Please reply here or on wp: el: my user page. Thanks.

P.P.S. If the Embassy is the wrong place to talk about this, please feel free to move this discussion.

Any Greek Wikisource users here?

Greetings. I've imported a number of English translations of ancient Koine Greek texts into the English Wikisource. I'd like to import the original Greek texts into the Greek Wikisource, and link to them, but unfortunately I don't know Greek. This means I don't know the Greek versions of {{PD-old-100}}, {{header}}, etc. I've imported wikisource:el:ΚΛΗΜΕΝΤΟΣ ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΡΙΝΘΙΟΥΣ Α, and I was wondering if someone would be able to add the relevant header information to it for Wikisource texts. If so, I'll import many more there. (I can't find the embassy on the Greek Wikisource, or I'd ask there.) Thanks, -- Wikisource:en:User:Quadell

translation from " Hebrew " and " English " Wikipedia

hello everybody.

I wanted to ask if you can translate the following articles to greek wikipedia :

1 - גלידה מסטיק => (hebrew wikipedia)

2 - " Mastic (plant resin) " => (english wikipedia)

thank you, שחר1979 21:40, 10 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

1. If you mean the article about the Hebrew Wikipedia, it already exists. Take a look here. Dimitrisss 22:30, 10 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

where it exists in greek ? ..... גלידה מסטיק

שחר1979 16:15, 11 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

Α! Ε πέστο βρε παιδί μου ότι θες άρθρο για τον Ντοντουρμά! Well, the article about Dondurma doesn't exist in Greek. I'll try to write some day (as I like dondurma a lot!) Dimitrisss 16:39, 11 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

If you look at the Hebrew article, you'll see that 2 kinds of ice cream :

1 - " Dondurma " ( turkish gum ice cream )

2 - " Booza " ( arabic gum ice cream )

What I wanted to show you that the article about " Mastic (plant resin) " that is about Greek . By the way, " Mastic gum ice cream " Created that they never Melt in the hot sun . שחר1979 18:16, 11 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

It seems there is an erroneous interwiki mix. The article about the resin is μαστίχα (Mastic (plant resin)) and about the tree there is only σχίνος (the genus Pistacia, not the species Pistacia lentiscus). Unfortunately the interwiki for the tree leads to the article about the resin. --Geraki ^Talk 10:29, 14 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

I do not understand. " Mastic " is something else, " Pistacia lentiscus " is something else. " there is also " Mastic resin " from the Pistacia palaestina that is also called : " Mastic " in the jewish books. the " Mastic " spice that Sold in the Middle East markets have some " imitations " like the " Almond tree resin " , " Pine tree resin " , " Boswellia tree resin " . can you help me understand what is going on here ? . שחר1979 18:29, 14 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

in the article of " Pistacia lentiscus " the Bots " in many Languages is " Wrong " , Including Greek. There is confusion in many languages between " Mastic " to " Pistacia lentiscus " . שחר1979 18:34, 14 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC) הצע תרגום טוב יותר

Mastic (in greek: μαστίχα) is a resin that we get from the tree Pistacia lentiscus (in greek: μαστιχόδεντρο - mastic-tree). The Pistacia lentiscus belongs to the genus Pistacia. It seems that there are problems in greek articles about φιστικιά and σχίνος and their use of common names about species and genuses. Other resins are not commonly called mastic. --Geraki ^Talk 19:07, 14 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

in ancient hebrew books the Pistacia palaestina resin tree is called also : " MASTIC " ( MASTIKIN / MASTIKI in ancient hebrew ) . שחר1979 20:21, 14 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

the greek article of " MASTIC " in " hebrew wikipedia " and " english wikipedia " is showing the greek article of : " Pistacia palaestina " and not the greek article of " μαστίχα " . שחר1979 21:54, 14 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

why the link of greek did not show in the english wikipedia ? . שחר1979 18:06, 20 Μαρτίου 2010 (UTC)

Language policy

Hello,

Do you have a page here in the Greek Wikipedia that details your policy about spelling in Greek and other languages? For example, a page that says how the editors should use proper diacritics and punctuation, that they should avoid slang, that they should avoid archaic language, etc.? --Αμίρ Ε.

a list of keywords

Hello,

I'm doing my project into language processing and I'm using Wikipedia. I want to use several languages in the tests, included the one of this versions. And since I need some articles to analyze I wanted to ask for your help. Precisely, some keywords I will explain now.

Actually what I am looking for is a list in your language with the names of those territories which represents an entity of speakers (therefore possible wikipedia contributors) of your language, the name its people or gentilic, and the name of the language (if it is the same language and it has a different name). These territories must be in practice independent from each others or at least be considered so by the speakers. This is the case of colonies, excolonies, other countries which historically speak the same language or minorities attached into the country next to yours.

For example, a list in english something like. "english", "england", "irish", "ireland", "scottish", "scotland", "british", "united_kingdom", "american", "united_states", "canada", "canadian", "australia", "australian", "new_zealand", "new_zealander". Probably there are some others which are not very big but I don't know cuz I'm not familiar.

If you were so kind to produce me this list, I would so appreciate it! Thank you very much!

Hi, I am Surya, a Tamil Wikipedian. I plan to submit a paper in Wikimania 2011. (Here). So, I need some information about your Wikimedia projects such as,

• When did it start?
• By whom? (igniter behind it.)
• What are the projects currently running?
• Technical problems (like Typewriting etc.,)
• Support from people
• Support from the Greece government
• Future plans
• Common challenges & problems you are facing.

Translation from English

Hi Greek Embassy,
I have translated this book list en:Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century into Greek.

What should I call the page in Greek Wikipedia?
"Le Monde" is the French newspaper («Ο Κόσμος»).
Varlaam 20:39, 23 Φεβρουαρίου 2011 (UTC)

The 100 Books of the Century

#	Τίτλος	Συγγραφέας	Έτος
1	Ο Ξένος	Αλμπέρ Καμύ	1942
2	Αναζητώντας τον χαμένο χρόνο	Μαρσέλ Προυστ	1913–1927
3	Η δίκη	Φραντς Κάφκα	1925

The table is finished but it needs a title. Thanks, Varlaam 20:52, 23 Φεβρουαρίου 2011 (UTC)

Hello Varlaam. Le Monde is a newspaper name and it isn't translated, but transliterated: «Λε Μοντ». You should name the article Κατάλογος των 100 Βιβλίων του Αιώνα της Λε Μοντ. Best regards, --dead3y3 (συζήτηση) 20:57, 23 Φεβρουαρίου 2011 (UTC)

Just a proposal: "Τα 100 βιβλία του Αιώνα (Λε Μοντ)" (titles of foreign newspapers are not translated, just transcribed in Greek). --Ttzavaras^{συζήτηση} 20:59, 23 Φεβρουαρίου 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, guys.

In English, we have several pages like this.

I am going to use Τα 100 βιβλία του Αιώνα (Λε Μοντ) because it is very simple.

If a newspaper in Athens produces their own list, then that page would be Τα 100 βιβλία του Αιώνα (Daily Athenian).

The page has 3 short paragraphs at the beginning.

In the languages that I know well -- German, Spanish, Italian -- I translated the 3 paragraphs myself.

In other languages, I normally put the English text there.

Then, in 1 or 2 days, a bilingual book lover will find it and translate it into the local language, Greek in this case.

Will there be a problem if 3 paragraphs of English are there for 2 days?

(Some languages of Wikipedia are very sensitive. I do not understand why.)

Cheers, Varlaam 02:32, 27 Φεβρουαρίου 2011 (UTC)

No problem. It would be better to leave a short message in the discussion page about it. If you upload the page maybe we could help translating parts not already translated. Thanks! --Ttzavaras^{συζήτηση} 10:09, 27 Φεβρουαρίου 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, Ttzavaras. That is a good suggestion.

But ...

I have created articles in 20 or 25 languages, and Greek Wikipedia is the only one that has a defence mechanism which I cannot defeat.

You defeated Mussolini, and you defeated Varlaam.

I concede.

What do I do when I reach this page Επεξεργασία: Τα 100 βιβλία του Αιώνα (Λε Μοντ)?

Cheers, Varlaam 18:13, 28 Φεβρουαρίου 2011 (UTC) (in Toronto)

Possible solution: Create the above page and add content with the copy-paste technique! --Ttzavaras^{συζήτηση} 18:58, 28 Φεβρουαρίου 2011 (UTC)

Foundation Images Policy

Hi everyone,
I am Yosri from Malay Wikipedia. Recently I was informed by certain parties that MS Wiki need to delete any images tagged as Non-Commercial under Foundation Licensing policy. After I have done some studies, I realised that Wikipedia Foundations is moving towards allowing commercialises all images, as such they are acting on behalf of commercial company to require all images loaded with tagging Non-Commercial in all Wiki Project to be removed, including those loaded in local Wiki. You are only allowed to licenses your images under "free content", which specifically allows commercial reuse, example GDLF 1.2. Certain images is exempted under a very narrow EDP ("exemption doctrine policy") definition. If you all already aware about this, please ignore this comment.
