Welcome to User talk:Odysses
Welcome
Welcome to the project! Hope you enjoy contributing to it. Looking forward to your ideas!--Yannismarou 13:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, and welcome to the WikiProject Greece! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to Greece.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our sidebar points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The Announcements and Open tasks section is updated quite regularly. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPGreeceOpenTasks}} there.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Interested in working on a more complete article? The peer review department of the project would welcome your help!
- Interested in a particular area of Greek history, geography, culture etc. ? There are already two task forces, and you could initiate the creation of more focusing on specific topics or periods.
- Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every Greece related article in Misplaced Pages.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Flood myth
When you are in a content dispute you should not be reverting labelling something as vandalism. Pico explained why he removed the section, it wasn't vandalism. Dougweller (talk) 07:16, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your feedback. User:PiCo deleted a complete section in Flood myth compiled by many editors over the last three years or so, which incorporated some eighteen internal links, plus three footnotes, claiming that "there's not a single reliable source cited". If this not vandalism, what is? --Odysses (₪) 21:13, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- Replied on my talk page. Dougweller (talk) 16:16, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Significance of Plato quotation
I have a question about something you added to List of Greek phrases some five years ago, specifically that Ἀεί ὁ θεός ὁ μέγας γεωμετρεί is a mnemonic for pi. The article currently attributes it to Plato, citing Plutarch's Symposiacs, but that source does not say that it is a mnemonic for pi (here). It seems odd to me that people who did not use decimal notation would have a mnemonic for a decimal notation and it has come up regarding another article. Could you provide a source for this fact? RJC Contribs 16:47, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. The original of course does not have all the words or in that order, instead Template:Polytonic or Template:Polytonic. I wonder if there is a way to note this on the article without going off on a long tangent. I ask because someone on Talk:Plato has pushed the idea that this phrase is Plato's and that it reveals something about Plato's gematria; I found some pages to the similar effect on the Internet. Do you have any ideas? RJC Contribs 22:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Folk etymology: Your input requested
I am looking for people with interests in folklore (editors I’ve encountered on folklore/mythology articles as well as elsewhere) to visit talk:Folk etymology, where there is an ongoing edit dispute. One view (three people) holds that the term is exclusive to linguistics, and another (just me) finds that the term has been formally defined within folklore, and used in academic journals in that sense for more than a century. The page is currently locked. I ask your input not in support of either view, but because discussion seems to have come to a standstill, it seems to be a page few stumble across, and needs fresh viewpoints to get unstuck. Thanks!
