Talk:Makarios III

message: Turkey which was trying to find a chance to capture a part of Cyprus, as the only Guarantor power which was willing to act, found its best chance and acted.
This is a subjective argument of the writer and has nothing to do with the life of Makarios. I am therefore, removing it.

thread_title: Unnecessary comments relating to Cyprus Question

message: Please 70.85.77.100, discuss any proposed changes here before replacing the whole article. As you will see from the earlier discussion below, I gave notice of my reasons for proposing a change and my intention to do so with plenty of time. If you have an issue with the article I have written, please raise it here rather than start an edit war. I am happy to discuss any issues you may have, but it is important that major changes start with a discussion on this page. Thanks. Peeper 08:32, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: How did he die

message: First up I must admit to being pretty new to Wikipedia. But I have spotted nearly the whole text of this article, after the first paragraph, is lifted directly from the Cypriot government's biography of Makarios III and can be found in its original home at http://www.cyprus.gov.cy/cyphome/govhome.nsf/Main?OpenFrameSet . That may or may not be a problem, but I also feel that it doesn't have the NPOV that Wikipedia demands.
If you agree or disagree, please let me know. Unless I receive a deluge of reasoned responses in favour of keeping this text, I intend to compile an alternative, neutral version which I hope to post in a couple of weeks. 
Please note that I do not want discussion of this article to get caught up with inevitable controversy over the Cyprus Question. The fact remains that the text as it currently stands is not neutral. Additionally it seems a bit long so any replacement will be shorter. Comments please?

thread_title:  Unsuitable article? 

message: As you can see I have now posted my alternative text for this article, which is original and, I believe, fairer than the previous version and has more of an NPOV. Comments are welcome. I would be happy to discuss what I have written and I would appreciate input from other users. Peeper 12:35, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Alternative text

message: On a bicommunal Cyprus forum I am a member of, there was a discussion about rumours that Makarios had a Turkish Cypriot father or grandfather. Does anybody have any evidence to back this up? Frankly, I think it could well be true...

message: :Image:Makarios Photo profile.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

replies: text: Makarios's speech to the UN Security Council is already mentioned in that article (see the "Greek Cypriot opinions" subsection near the end).  However, I did copy the Los Angeles Times story from my addition here as a source for this statement.  I initially considered adding mention of Makarios's speech farther up in the article (at the end of the "Greek military coup of July 1974" subsection) — arguably reasonable given the other stuff in that subsection about Makarios — but I didn't want to risk violating WP:UNDUE.  I see that the "Opinions" section is flagged with an "overlaps too much" notice, BTW, but I'm not prepared at this point to take on the task of reworking this entire article.  It may also be appropriate to mention Makarios's UN speech in various other articles — including Northern Cyprus (after the current edit-warring-sock issue dies down) — but I think I'll leave that task for others to do.  — Richwales 20:32, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you very much. I am too new to tackle with all those technical details like adding references etc. If not... --E4024 (talk) 20:54, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Glad I could help.  Especially with a contentious, hot-button topic as this, it's that much more important to include references to reliable sources for any material that might even possibly be controversial.  I'd suggest reading (and re-reading) WP:CITE for a discussion about how to cite sources in Wikipedia articles.  — Richwales 21:14, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
