message: I see that the specific anarchist network is used as a source in this article, supporting a link between the police and the G. Down.  By a quick check iospress is the main defender of indymedia in Greece [][]. Such sources should be avoided since they don't meet wp:rs criteria.Alexikoua (talk) 14:43, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: About the Syriza controversy, sources like Athensvoice and Vima, are quite good and as far I know objective and neutral. I would prefer to use them in an article like this, instead of iospress, which is in the border of rs. Agree about the plaincloth addition.Alexikoua (talk) 11:34, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Post war divisions and reconciliation
In 1989, the coalition government between Nea Dimokratia and the Coalition of Left and Progress (SYNASPISMOS) - in which the KKE was for a period the major force - suggested a law that was passed unanimously by the Greek Parliament, formally recognizing the 1946-1949 war as a civil war and not merely as a communist insurgency ("Συμμοριτοπόλεμος") ( Ν. 1863/89 (ΦΕΚ 204Α΄) ).[58][59][60] Under the terms of this law, the war of 1946-1949 was recognized as a Greek Civil War between the National Army and the Democratic Army of Greece, for the first time in Greek postwar history. Under the aforementioned law, the term "communist bandits" (Κομμουνιστοσυμμορίτες, ΚΣ), wherever it had occurred in Greek law, was replaced by the term "Fighters of the DSE".[61]
*Also thank you for pointing out the fact that the DEKEMBRIANA was just a fase of the greek civil war... however if you had followed the link provided, you'd notice it led to GEN. SCOBIE ultimatum citing the armed forces "National Army" (according to Greek Law Ν. 1863/89 (ΦΕΚ 204Α)) forces (linked it because half of them where city police and Gendermerie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ScobiUltimatum.png  ), a composition totally different to today's greek army composition (Greek Citizens over the age of 18).
please restore the names of the parties involved in the Greek Civil War, as unanimously voted in the Greek Parliament (1989) 
P.S.: Is the eleytherotypia case resolved?? msymeonakis (talk) 09:28, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The article states exactly that the Dem. Army was lead by the Communist Party [][][][][], I don't see why this should be removed but indeed its essential to the context. On the other hand there was no Army in Greece under the name simple name 'National Army', it would be more appropriate to briefly state that this was the army of the (legitimite that time) government.
I agree with you about the labelling of 'communist bandits', i.e. it's not part of this article.
I'm ok with eleftherytipia, but specifically iospress is on the border of wp:rs criteria. But if haven't something of more desent value its ok to have it still here.Alexikoua (talk) 20:02, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I have removed the "Abuse of Tourists" section as it contains WP:Close paraphrasing and WP:Copyvios from the BBC website. In addtion the section is far too detailed and needs trimming per WP:UNDUE. If the incidents are so notable to be detailed to such degree they have to get their own articles but they cannot be accommodated in the present article at the current high level of detail.

message: I think this one can be argued both ways, and that provided we have redirects in place (as we do currently) that from the point of view of reader experience (our bottom line) either is perfectly acceptable. Other thoughts on this? Andrewa (talk) 19:32, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem with me. As you point out, that is the present situation. From where I stand, usage is not clear-cut on the specific terms, the whole "Greek" vs "Hellenic" debate in wider usage is moot since we are dealing with specific titles or brands if you want. On such issues I always prefer the official translations on any term as long as there is no ambiguity, disputed claim or any other truly compelling reason to do otherwise. If the Greek state and its institutions prefer "Hellenic", issue their official documents in this form, then that's it. Constantine   ✍  20:33, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The point at which I was hinting is that while both sides seem rather passionate about the issue, the arguments don't support this passion. There are arguments on both sides, but none of them are show-stoppers, despite being presented as such. Someday I hope somebody will write a PhD on this online phenomenon, and the Wikipedia page histories will provide some good material I think. If I had 40 lifetimes I would probably get around to it myself. Andrewa (talk) 07:21, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

== Hellenic vs Greek ==
Out of interest, why is this article called Hellenic with Greek only redirecting? The reason I ask is I always assumed Hellenic to be the pan-national adjective applying to all things Greek, so in this case Hellenic would include anything Cypriot. Collectively Greece and Cyprus are frequently referred to as the Hellenic states. yes Greek police can in no way be misleading. --Oranges Juicy (talk) 16:56, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
