Talk:Refugees of the Greek Civil War

message: It is with dismay that I realize that the original user who started this page (Damac) referenced a Greek communist Marxist-Leninist chat forum webpage (Politikokafeneio) to claim that former Queen Frederika's Child Cities were places of exploitation and brutality. The reference is obviously biased and not based on the reality. It does not belong on Wikipedia or in any place where the propagation of true and unbiased information is required. It's a shame that it was placed here. I am glad it was removed in the most recent revision of the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gem2 (talk • contribs) 21:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Okay, for those who didn't get the motivation behind the cutting back of the article yesterday. We have a mandate from AfD that this article should be merged with Exodus of Ethnic Macedonians from Greece. "Merging" means, the article should be rewritten so as to contain the best elements of both articles, but unified in a single structure. But when people started editing yesterday, it seemed they were just doing complete copy-and-paste jobs, using the full text of either one of the old articles and completely ignoring the other. That's why I proposed we should start from scratch. I wrote the short stub just as a start, then I'd suggest you develop a structural plan of how the new article could grow (perhaps just a skeleton of section titles), and then fill that out with material that you might actually copy from the old versions.

thread_title:  Why the stubbing-back 

message: In the multimedia section of the article I have included the Greek documentary on ethnic Macedonian child refugees on TV MEGA (Part1) (Part2). One user erased it on grounds that it was in Greek and not in English. But if you look at external links of the Pontian Greeks article you will see that there are also links that are not in English, but nobody excludes them. The Greek documentary must stay.

thread_title: Image copyright problem with File:Begalci.jpg

message: This article needs better images. One map has many detailed coordinates about refugee establishments but is completely unreferenced about where that information exists. The image of the logo of the organisation "Aegean part..." doesn't have a reason to be included here. It belongs to the article about that organisation. If we included the logos of every org relevant to the civil war this page would resemble an advertising platform. There are many other orgs related to the Greek civil war but Undue weight is put on a single one. Furthermore I am not sure that the fair use rationale for that logo is justified for this article that is for a generic topic. It may be only justified for an article specifically about that organisation. Shadowmorph ^"^ 23:10, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The heroic age is a book (novel) by the poet and writer Stratis Haviaras () that tells the story of what happened to a group of children aged six to fourteen (the heroic age) at the time of the civil war in Greece, just after WWII, that tried to reach freedom, (the Albanian border). After the failed attempt to reach the border they join the Andartes, and finally they end up in a re-education camp of the government. Mahjongg (talk) 01:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is supposed to be about the Greek Civil War and not yet another propaganda outlet for the "Republic of Macedonia". Sheesh!  Nipsonanomhmata  (Talk) 01:01, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: There appears to be a great deal of content concerning the "Republic of Macedonia" when this article is called "Refugees of the Greek Civil War". It's as though this article has been written by someone from the former Yugoslavia with a heavy Communist spin on the history. The Communists were the vanquished at the end of the Civil War. It is strange that this article strongly reflects the POV of the vanquished and strongly ignores the dominant English version of history. btw I don't disagree with your last edit in removing the Greek infobox too, I was considering doing that myself because it seems unnecessary for this particular article.  Nipsonanomhmata  (Talk) 11:42, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
::This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
::#There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
::#It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
::#In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 01:19, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  removing POV tag with no active discussion per [[Template:POV]] 

message: Simply because it confuses the neutral. Surely a Greek born in Macedonia is a Macedonian, just as a Greek born in Crete is a Cretan? The term Slav Macedonian makes it clearer to the neutral and should be used in this article. Reaper7 (talk) 22:18, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

message: This article is total crap! It's so FYROM's POV that need to be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.6.247.183 (talk) 02:03, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Please, justify the tag you have added to this article. Slavic name of an author whose opinion is mentioned in one sentence is a silly reason for that. It sounds also weird and nonsensical a Slavic name to be something scary. By the way I have removed this controversial sentence. Jingiby (talk) 17:19, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding that sentence, what's the issue with it? It states "according to some sources..." and then it provides the counterview in the same sentence. --Local hero talk 03:55, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
