Rumours are not a source.

message: Η σελίδα του Βενιζέλου έγινε αφορμή να πάρει μία κάποια, ελλειπή και αρνητική, δημοσιότητα η wikipedia στην οπισθοδρομική και εξευτελισμένη ελληνική ιδιωτική τηλεόραση. Κάτι είναι και αυτό. Kάποιος όμως πρέπει να πει στον υπεύθυνο του πολιτικού γραφείου που ανανέωσε τη σελίδα του εδώ ότι στα αγγλικά γράφουνε με άρθρα και ρήματα, κι ότι για παράδειγμα αυτό, "Born in Thessaloniki on 01-01-1957. Married to Lila A. Bakatselou and has a daughter.", δε στέκει γραμματικά όπως θα έστεκε στα ελληνικά. "He was born", "He is married" είναι το μόνο ορθό. Αναρωτιέμαι εαν αυτός που έκανε τις επαυξήσεις στη σελίδα βαριόταν να μπει στο κόπο να προσθέσει άρθρα και ρήματα. Σίγουρα περιμένεις κάτι καλύτερο από έναν πολιτικό με βλέψεις μέλοντος πρωθυπουργού από το να έχει στο γραφείο του κάποιον που βαριέται ή/και έχει γνώση της αγγλικής επιπέδου δημοτικού.

replies: text: And if we really care to keep Wikipedia from turning into a weblog, it would be more fit to use English when editing the English language Wikipedia: the points you make about the syntax are valid, and should be available to non Greek-speaking editors as well. --Michalis Famelis (talk) 20:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Τουλάχιστον... 

message: The article reads like a terse CV at present; please take the time to revise to Wikipedia standards. Also, the last three paras are completely devoid of hyperlinks, which are the whole point of a hypertext encyclopedia. Please add links where appropriate. --Slymole 11:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Mr Venizelos is internet-savvy, so he should understand that having this article edited down and sanitized to read like a CV, though the treat of legal injunctions etc, reflects poorly on a politician's style. Rastapopoulos 07:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is a good start. The vast majority of the articles for Greek politicians are in worse condition. Don't forget that the article has as only source the site of the Greek parliament! Contributions make articles better. Maybe we can add a tag for the style of the text bu I don't find it that necessary. -- Magioladitis 17:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: This article reads like a CV

message: Everyone, please take a peek at the NPOV policy:
Undue weight applies to more than just viewpoints. Just as giving undue weight to a viewpoint is not neutral, so is giving undue weight to other verifiable and sourced statements. An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject, but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. Note that undue weight can be given in several ways, including, but not limited to, depth of detail, quantity of text, prominence of placement, and juxtaposition of statements.
I think that the controversy section violates the above. Maybe something as simple as the following could be enough:
Venizelos is unrelated to his famous namesake, Eleftherios Venizelos. The shared surname has given some rise to speculation and controversy about the origin of Venizelos' name, which he has vehemently denied. <citation to Venizelos blog story>
So simple and so complete. (I have to say, I am feeling rather "deletionisticly" today!)  What do you think? --Michalis Famelis (talk) 17:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
