Talk:Michael Zigomanis

message: I use the term FYROM in the Talk Page (never in the text) because it is up to now, the official name of the newly born state from the previous Socialist Republic of Makedonija within Jugoslavija. But of course, I do take sides in politics , but instead not in Wikipedia's articles: 
:a) I may consider Macedonia as one, only and Greek. I may also consider Southern Albania as Northern Epirus as well. I even may consider that the FYROM should be named "Vardarska" and not "Macedonia" -although I do accept the right of the "Slavomacedonian" minority in Northern Greece to be recognized as such-; but my personal considerations are irrelevant in a sportman's article and I do not intend to carry them in it.
 
:b) I just think the term Aegean Macedonian is the most suitable (and neutral) one. In the other hand, I never stated that Aegean Macedonians and Arvanites are the same thing or the same case ! (Please, just read first !) When I used the example of "... from Arvanitic heritage ..." I was only trying to imply an "ethnic" background else than Hellenic (I am pointing a differenece between "Hellenic" and "Greek"), I could have used the example "Gypsy", "Aromanian" or other ...
  
:c) As per the term "Greek-American", it is defined as "Americans of Greek descent". Since Zigomanis parents are labelled as Greeks (their Greek passport certifies so) and they state nothing against, it perfectly qualifies. But a source from an article about another hockey player claims that Zigomanis is of "Macedonian" extraction (never a personal declaration from Mike himself), so showing good faith with other users we tried to reach the best way to point it out, therefore we arrived to the sui generis "...a Canadian professional ice hockey centre of Greek descent, born to Aegean Macedonian parents..."
Please, I also request  everyone not to make any judgements about my "connaisance" of Greece or the Greeks, without knowing nothing about myself. I invite all those who are interested to go to my personal / talk page first, then make a conclusion. 
If someone has something to provide to me that may be useful, go ahead then. Else, these types of discussions are useless since it is not a forum.Periptero (talk) 11:34, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
