Hi Dactarianou. I don't regard the etymology of a word to be a priority encyclopaedic fact: something so important that we have to give it before we even tell the reader what the subject is, in English. These sort of thing are typically the domain of dictionaries. If you see the History section, the etymology is covered in detail and sourced to the OED. Most of our readers can't actually read the Greek characters. It just gets in the way of providing a succinct sentence that defines Epilepsy, which is what our lead sentence should do. I would appreciate if you would consider reverting your change. All the information is in the article, it is just a matter of prioritising what should be in the lead and what should be in the first sentence of the lead. -- Colin°Talk 14:22, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 6
[edit]Hi. When you recently edited Kostas Botsaris, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Parliamentarian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Zeibekiko
[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Zeibekiko, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.
Your edit restored old stuff which reached never consensus at the article's talk page (as you claimed in the summary) - on the contrary, it lead to semi-protection of the article a couple of times. Alfie↑↓© 09:16, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
- Uhm, Alfie, please be careful with vandalism charges. While I personally don't agree with Dactarianou's edit, it certainly wasn't vandalism, and he clearly discussed it in advance and made a sincere attempt to gain consensus for it. Please don't use vandalism rollback and user warnings on such edits. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:03, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
- OK, retracted the vandalism note. I checked Talk:Zeibekiko and this talk page before the revert. Wasn't aware that Dactarianou was referring to a discussion archived at your talk page. Sorry. Alfie↑↓© 10:31, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
