About your edits in Panathinaikos article

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! I saw your edits in Panathinaikos article and you should know that adding nonsense or removing necessary information from an article is considered Vandalism. I have to remind you that we are members of an world-known encyclopedia and not a fansite. So, try to keep a Neutral Point of View in what you write. So as you understand, adding offensive nicknames such us "Vazeloi" or removing historical facts is wrong :) --KaragouniS 19:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

-Thank you! Nice to meet you. First of all I'd like to tell you that the nickname "vazeloi" is the most popular nickname of Panathinaikos and their fans. I didn't put it as an insult. It's a name that is referred around Europe in shows that have to do with Olympiacos-Panathinaikos rivalry (e.g. an Irish TV show about this derby that I've seen recently). So it's something that has a strong connection with the nickname thing. Secondly, as you said it's not a fansite but an encyclopedia and if you wanna be right we should put in Panathinaikos page all the information that are important and not only those we like. For example in the nickname section of Olympiacos the name "gavroi" has been put and it should have. And I'll finish saying that posting that "Panathinaikos is regarded as the most successful club" has nothing to do with neutrality. Few people regard PAO as the biggest club as Olympiacos is more successful (they have more titles) at 3 of the 4 most popular team sports football, volleyball, waterpolo and Olympiacos has won european titles in basketball, volleyball, waterpolo which put them in the club of giants in european level something that Panathinaikos is not (only in basketball). So, you should reconsider the above thing no matter if you're gonna change anything. Greetings!! --Sthenel

Ok, the article was edited in order to be neutral. Also, the nickname "vazeloi" (meaning: the guys who use vaseline--KaragouniS 11:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)) is not accepted by the majority of Panathinaikos fans and as a result is a swear. The nickname "gavroi" (meaning anchovies) is not offensive because it's refered to olympiakos' origin (the port of piraeus), so these 2 nicknames are totally different.

PAO fans when they're asked about which team they support they usually answer "I'm a vazelos" so it's not an insult. Anyway.. Sthenel

Irene Papas

I didn't write the intro, I brought it into line with the MoS (my edit). I don't know who called her Greek-born rather than Greek; as, for all I knew, she might have taken citizenship elsewhere at some point, I left it (she lives in Portugal now, I believe). I changed your edit because you went from the correct "Greece" to the incorrect "Greeks" (that is, the lead mentions nationality, not ethnicity). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, "Greek-born" doesn't mean "born in Greece of non-Greek parents"; it means "born in Greece". Still, as long as it's clear that she didn't change her citizenship, that's fine. Do you have a source for that, incidentally? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I promise you, as a native speaker, that "Greek-born" means exactly and only "born in Greece". Anyway, I've changed the article. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
