Hi, can you upload this image. It will be good image can be used in the article. I am still not well-versed in uploading images outside Flickr. It's probably copyrighted. In this case, a {{Non-free historic image}} tag would be appropriate, as it is a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who took the image or the agency employing the person.

When you are changing the flow of sentences, can you please change the position of the references at the same time. This edit resulted in information not supported by reference at the end of the sentence. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have some patience for 5 to 10 minutes. I will explain you. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:53, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See this version. In this version you rearranged the sentences where the reference for the fact "The anti-tobacco movement was influenced by the ideological concept of racial hygiene and bodily purity" became It's Not Just PR: Public Relations in Society. But the reference which support this fact is Nazi War on Cancer. After each single sentence, the reference which supports the sentence should be used.

Adam was a boy (1). Adam went to a public school (2). Adam died in a road accident (3). Three different sentence are supported by three different references. If the sentences are rearranged as Adam who died in road accident, went to public school (2)(3), you will say the references are supporting all the information. But care should be taken which reference supports which information. In this case, the format will be Adam who died in road accident,(3) went to public school(2). Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 18:15, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the questions you raised, all the information are supported by Nazi War on Cancer. The decrease in tobacco consumption during the Second World War was certainly due to Nazi measures where the laws were aggressively implemented. You can see in the Measures section that at the end of the 1930s, the Nazis enacted more and more laws which was lacking at the first half of the 1930s. This aggressive measure was responsible for declining tobacco rate, not war. Please note that soldiers were allowed to smoke, war did not prevent them from smoking, a fact on which Hitler lamented. You will find this in the Hitler's attitude section. And regarding your second query, this factor is also mentioned by Proctor. He used the word "muted" which I reworded to "silenced". I think he probably want to mean that the outcome of the health research often restricted from the public probably due to the pressure from tobacco industry.

I found another interesting image. It shows the graph of the total number of cigarettes produced in Germany from 1932 to 1944. I think this image will be needed. And here is another image which should be used in the Measures section. Three images are enough for the article. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 19:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Cplakidas, for your compliment and suggestions. You are correct in saying that the article only deals with the legal status of the Jews of Byzantium. Maybe the solution is to expand the article, rather than move it. I think that "Legal Status of the Jews during the Byzantine Empire" would be somewhat cumbersome, especially given that there would not be a more general article for the Jews of the Byzantine Empire. Your point on "Byzantium" vs. "Byzantine Empire" is well taken. How can I change that? Saepe Fidelis (talk) 09:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading Image:EKSE patch.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. J Milburn (talk) 14:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much far that constructive comment. I think that you should move the things in the history section to the tactics because I can miss something. Those quotations from the medieval authors are taken directly from Zlatarski but I will try to find the edition. I will expand the battles in the first section and the Ottoman advance. One of the major difficulties would be to find book in English, as most of the book in the net are not free.

Good luck on the exams ;-) I just finished mine two days ago and I hope you would be successful as well. Best, --Gligan (talk) 15:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Constantine! I did not disappear, I had only a lot to do on the job... :-((( I will do as you said, but actually this is another MS mistery (of course on Firefox everything works great :-)). Regarding football, Italy deserved the elimination. I hope too that Turkey will make it, a turkish victory after a greek one at the EC would really be a sign of God/Allah. ;-) About the comment, it comes from cute little book of Eyice, but unfortunately he does not explain it. Personally I found the quality of the brickwork low, typical of the decadence of the last period, but unfortunately I cannot write it on wikipedia (at least until I don't get a job at Dumbarton Oaks). :-( Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 10:36, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Constantine, yet another church! Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 07:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning Constantine, and thanks for the review. Only two things. The assumption that you removed comes from Müller-Wiener. He says that the sources tells about an usage of the Imperial Palace until some years before the destruction of the church, and that it is possible that the emperors renounced to live in the Blachernae palace also because with the destruction of the church and of the relics an important reason to live there had disappeared too. Of course, with more money, they could have rebuilt the church... Another thing: in the article about the Blachernitissa, it is written that the Icon escaped the distruction of the church and was brought to the Athos. None of my sources mentions that. Do you think that this is true, or is only a legend? Many thanks, Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 06:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Constantine,

Thanks for the nomination. I was working on the Battle of Myriokephalon and thought it was a pity that such a prominent figure as Andronikos didn't have his own entry. Also thanks for fleshing out the references etc.

Hi,

I can think of at least one reason for a separate section for the civil responsibilities of the megas doux.

You and I know that Byzantine military commanders, especially aristocrats, very often had non-military responsibilities and interests: they were civil governors, sat on church councils as lay advisors, acted as judges, wrote histories etc etc. The casual reader might well not know this, and to emphasise that Andronikos Kontostephanos was not only a man of war might be advantageous.

Finding more on Andronikos' non-military life would be excellent, unfortunately while both his brothers sat on church synods etc., I don't have any record of his doing the same. I cannot even find a record of his court title.Urselius (talk) 21:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We've had a rather large bombshell dropped on us. The Wikipedia editorial team are aiming to release a version of Wikipedia on CD/DVD in time for the end of year holiday season. They've provided us with a list of 1333 Milhist articles they intend including.

The problem is that the quality of these articles varies considerably.

We've put together review page listing all the articles, in twenty-five article worklists. I'm hoping that 15-20 trusted editors can work through the list, weedying out problem articles and identifying suitable versions for release. The work is as far away from a tagging and assessing drive as you can imagine though, for convenience and ease of use, we've closely followed the traditional Milhist drive format.

This is, at the moment, an invitation-only review. The reason is that time is short and we can't afford too many mistakes. I'm only contacting experienced editors who performed very well indeed in the last two Milhist drives. I guess that working through a worklist of twenty-five articles will take between one and three hours to do. We're aiming to get the preliminary work done by next Sunday, so it's urgent too.

I do hope you can help but – if it's not too much trouble – if you are unable to participate at the moment, would you please let me know on my talk page? otherwise, please sign up here. Thank you for your time, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 17:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your improvements there. Question: is it worth keeping Military League as a separate article? I could go either way, but given how closely the League's history is intertwined with that of the coup, and given that we (I think) now describe it in greater detail in the coup article than in the Military League article itself, the case for a redirect seems plausible, even strong. Biruitorul ^Talk 17:46, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and I look forward to the expansion (I went right ahead with the redirect). As you may have noticed, the French have been putting out some fine articles on modern Greek history. (Indeed their Goudi article, now a GA, is itself slated for expansion in preparation for an FAC.) Révolte de Therissos seems like a good project for my next translation. There's always Histoire de la Crète (cf. our rather pitiful History of Crete), but that may take a while longer, if you know what I mean. Biruitorul ^Talk 19:24, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
