[edit] Your edits to Greece
Nice work on the Greece article - (I suppose you are also the anon who made the big additions earlier, right?) I'd only suggest you consider if the additions aren't a bit large for that summary article. It might be better to merge details into the sub-article Economy of Greece, and possibly even create another such sub-article for the technology section to keep it balanced. If necessary, I could create the article for you to fill in if you like; I think very new users can't create new articles from scratch. Please see Wikipedia:Summary style for recommendations on how to keep large articles well organized, and don't hesitate to ask me if you want further help! Thanks, Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Alphabank.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Alphabank.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Images
Sorry for bothering you again, but here's another word of advice about the architecture images you've been uploading. They are nice, for sure, but you haven't included any copyright information and as far as I can see these are probably copyrighted, and thus we can't use them. Please see Wikipedia:Image use policy and Wikipedia:Copyrights. If you want to use these in an article, you need to actually write to the owners of the webpages and ask them for permission, as described in Wikipedia:Example requests for permission.

- Thanks for your note, yes, that was the right place to reach me :-) I'm on my way out right now, will be back later. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitrary conclusion?
How is that [1] an arbitrary conclusion, Stef? If you take a look at the study in question, you will see that only Malta and Cyprus have a higher percentage of people responding that they "believe in God". Porfyrios 17:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hi. I think that it is one thing to "believe in God" and another "being religious". Someone may be a "believer" - believe in "God" (any "God" or a specific "God")- without being "religious" - adhere to "religion". Just because most Greeks said they "believe in God", it does not mean that they adhere to "religion", nor that this perecentage considers themselves "religious", nor that they are the "most religious" people after Cyprus and Malta. Also, in the context it was put, "most religious" may imply fervent belief (even relatively). However, the Eurobarometer did not measure how strongly people in these countries feel about the statement "I believe in God".
-
- I don't really think that statement could be misinterpreted to indicate the "fervency" of believers. Seeing how the question involved belief in a "personal god", I still think that to take this as an indication of religiosity would not be too far off the mark. I'm not going to insist, however, as I do understand your objection. Having said that, you can't deny that the percentage of persons stating they believe in God, in relation to other countries, is certainly an interesting matter. It is on these grounds that I have made additions based on the research in question to several European countries' entries (with another wikipedian even inserting a coloured chart titled "European belief in God" in the entry for atheism[2]). Porfyrios 18:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
-
- I've entered a statement that reads "Greece's percentage of respondents asserting that they "believe in God" was the third highest among EU members." I believe it is a factual statement that does not leave room for any misinterpretation, and serves the purpose of reporting spiritual beliefs in Greece quite well. What do you say?

I think thats perfect. Stef79 19:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
