Talk:Muslim minority of Greece

message: I think this article should be merged with Islam in Greece, to form a new article: "Muslims in Greece". A very large portion of the content of this article and that of Islam in Greece is bound to overlap.Bless sins (talk) 00:49, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with Islam in Greece 

message: The article states that 0.5% of higher education placements are reserved for the Muslim minority, which has a share of about 1% in the population. I heard from a Greek that members of the Muslim minority can get access to a university education no matter what their high school grades are, while access for ethnic Greeks is limited, especially for attractive subjects such as medicine. Also, I was told that the Muslim minority is exempt from military service. Is any of this correct?--Mschiffler (talk) 15:00, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Positive discrimination? 

message: Hello. I am asking opinions of users in the talk page of Minorities in Greece for whether to include the problems of the muslim minority living in Athens or not. Your comments are welcome. Filanca (talk) 19:58, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi ! I was doing a drastic article restructuring (which lasted for a very long time and I wouldn't just drop them) when I realized there was one more editor making changes to it in mean time, resulting in the edit conflict. I apologize for this coincidence, and I would appreciate if can you re-instate any of the changes you made and feel being important to the article but were lost due to my restructuring edits? Thank you.--- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 18:51, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Axxion, I am saddened you just erased hours of work from my part just due to the edit conflict and causing more problems than solving this way. You added population statistics to lead section which is not the common practice in Wikipedia. Population figures do not have place here. Details ought to go to the main body, while the lead is merely a summary of the whole article. Also your changes removed any mention of the Pomak-Turkey disagreements from the main body, which goes against WP:LEAD! Can you please apply your changes on top of the restructured article instead of erasing all efforts to restructure it? --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 18:56, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

text: , I apologise too. Nevertheless, i think my similar edit was more drastic and thus warranted as the lede was absurd in its length and redundant detail whereas some important general points were missing. Besides, as a matter of principle I disagree with the the proposed "Religion" section. This minority status is not just any other ethnic minority, but is based on a major international law, which stipulates mandatory provisions that are still valid, albeit disputed but the parties. So, you are welcome to add/amend but i shall insist on the current structure of the article (namely the first section) and keeping the lede properly lean. I apologise again.Axxxion (talk) 19:02, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I will restore my restructured version and incorporate your changes over it, and remove the new Religion section as you requested. How does that sound? --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 19:13, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Also will keep section "Status in international law, terms and definitions, statistics" like how you have titled it, just reorganized in an orderly fashion. Is that ok? --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 19:14, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Ok. Nevertheless, you could have seen that the article was being edited by me.  Such "coincidences" are indeed quite irritating and aggravating. I would urge you to be a bit more considerate.Axxxion (talk) 19:31, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes my apologies too. Lately I have been encountering a very strange row of badly-timed coincidences and I can't help but wonder if I am just very unlucky. Btw While I agree with your effort to give less weight to sharia on Lead, don't you think we should mention at least the Turkey VS Pomaks and Romas case on lead? I am referring to this: [] --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 19:37, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: In my view, gives it too much weight but i do not categorically object. The article as it sands needs some clean-up as some refs have gone missing. Also the situation around the muslims in Kos and Rhodes requires more clarity and Turkey′s stance being covered (i think my link to their Foreign Ministry′s position has been stripped out). I shall not edit it from now until at least tomorrow, so feel free from any interference on my part.Axxxion (talk) 20:00, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right in it was giving it too much weight. Considering this, I am glad now it has been removed from Lead. And about the other issues you mentioned, yes feel free to address them anytime, I don't think there are any more edits for me to do to the article. I guess I am done. And I am positive that once you are done too, the article will be much better! Sorry for the mess earlier, and thank you for the efforts :-) --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 20:34, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article restructuring edit conflict 

message: User:Muhammet211 Let's discuss these changes. You are inserting unsourced changes, such as population numbers that differ from existing sources. And attempting to justify your changes with references to Wikipedia articles which per WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source is against policy. --TylerBurden (talk) 23:37, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Glad you realized, I reckon it's better to take your time to find reliable sources than to rush it and use sources such as other Wikipedia articles since chances are high that content will just be removed anyway per WP:RS. Also please sign your comments using (~~~~) --TylerBurden (talk) 09:57, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes with no reliable sources or consensus 

message: I added new sections to this article (a diaspora section and a infobox), all of which were removed for no apparent reason i would appreciate some constructive feedback regarding this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muhammet211 (talk • contribs) 10:44, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:SOAPBOX. Trying to push Greek government narrative, as if all Turkish Muslim population are of assimilated Greek descent. Not to mention that those edits were made in unencyclopedic tone. Beshogur (talk) 13:29, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

text: Muhammet you need to start signing your comments. And I agree with Beshogur, your version was definitely not an improvement. Even disregarding the apparent POV pushing it had serious WP:MOS issues to the point it wasn't in an acceptable state for Wikipedia standards. It seems to me like you got your article draft rejected, and so then decided to come here and basically turn this into your draft. --TylerBurden (talk) 17:16, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
