Highlight
[edit]I think this article should be high lighted, as we generally hear how badly the Greeks and the Turk's get on.
Things like this and the "earthquake diplomacy" in 1999, maye will go some way to improve things between Greece and Turkey.--SolDrury 22:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

GA Feedback
[edit]Coupld of comments:
- Increase the size of the introduction. It should be 3-4 paragraphs in length and contain the basics while providing a reason to read more.
- Greece experienced the "Great Famine" (Greek: Μεγάλος Λιμός) during the occupation by Nazi Germany in April, 1941 and the sea blockade by the British Navy. This sentence needs to be worked on, perhaps broken into two?
- However, a compromise could be reached to allow shipments of grain to come from the neutral Turkey, despite the fact that it was within the blockade zone. could be reached? Or was reached? Who were the primary negotiators? What were the criteria of the agreement?
- transition to the "Turkish president"
- Was the kurtulus the only ship running supplies or was it part of a larger effort?
- Need to go through and add more internal links. For example:
- Is there a wiki article on the Great Famine? If so, it needs to be linked here.
- Is there a wiki article on naval blockade?
- The National Greek War Relief Association?
- A few places it is a little wordy, for example, "The 34-member crew reached the island and therefore survived." I edited it some.
- "the place" was renamed? What place? The island? Or the rock where the ship crashed?
- "Unfortunately, the shipwreck was found demolished." Demolished implies explosive devices... is that the right word?
- When was the documentary started? Was it the motivation behind the expidition or was the expidition already planned?
- Needs more references and preferably some more reliable sources. The sources are "ok" but not the best. Websites aren't usually the best source of documentation, but I understand this is an unusual subject.Balloonman 09:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:GreatFamineinGreece1941.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:GreatFamineinGreece1941.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
