Hello again! Yes, I have some info: she was the eldest sister of Michael VIII (and the eldest among the siblings in general). She married Nikephoros Tarchaneiotes and had four children: Andronikos Tarchaneiotes, Michael Tarchaneiotes, John Tarchaneiotes and Theodora Tarchaneiotissa. I'll see if I can find a book with more details. Constantine ✍ 13:26, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello Alessandro! Your action was quite correct. There are a number of policies that deal with this, chiefly Wikipedia:Content forking. In essence, this user created a content fork with no apparent value as a stand-alone article, and without even crediting the original author/article as required per Wikipedia:Splitting. Happy Christmas to you and your family too! Constantine ✍ 08:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alessandro57. I am randomly messaging a few users listed at [[Category:User it-N]] in the hope of getting input into a disagreement on the OR noticeboard regarding the use of an Italian language source. The basic question is whether a particular source can or cannot be used to support particular article content. Users currently involved in the discussion (me included) do not have a high level of proficiency in Italian, so a little help would be appreciated. If you have the time to spare, thanks in advance and the discussion is here: Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard#Murder of Meredith Kercher.--FormerIP (talk) 23:02, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
You recently set up a merge proposal for the Roman cuisine article and didn't complete it. I just established the discussion on the talk page, and would like to ask if you could please provide a reason why you believe it should be merged after the summary I provided? --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 21:02, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Alessandro! Nice photos indeed! For the video, AFAIK all Wikipedia cares about is that it is properly licensed. We don't really go for the "religious sensitivities" thing (or any other sort of sensitivity), so for instance we have photos of Bahá'u'lláh, we have depictions of Muhammad etc. It is the user's business how he got the video, but as long as it was he who did it, he can upload it and use it as he wants. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 10:38, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi! I notice you removed the Turkish Airlines headquarters while saying in your edit summary "Sources added" - Unfortunately that was not an adequate edit summary. When you remove things, you should have some kind of explanation as to why you are removing them, in your edit summary
Anyway I added back Turkish Airlines. A neighborhood article needs to cover the major corporations with head offices in the neighborhood. Turkish Airlines is the national airline of Turkey, so Bakirkoy needs to cover the airline. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:27, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

And if you want to do more, perhaps a few others:
While the following is at Zurich Airport, I have no additional information (addresses or maps) on how to find it: Helvetic Airways head office

Hello Alex, I hope you are well! Although there are quite a lot of books on it in Greek, personally I am unaware of any English-language publications on the matter. From what I've read, the prevailing opinion among the more serious scholars is that it was not a "genocide" in the sense that there was not a systematic, government-sponsored annihilation campaign as that directed against the Armenians. As you know, labelling an event as "genocide" is mostly a political weapon nowadays and is so frequently used that it has virtually lost its meaning. While the Pontians too were subject to the forced labour battalions during WW1, they were not really targeted for extermination, and some of the local bishops were able to prevent even their conscription in the labour battalions, and in turn protected the Muslim population during the Russian occupation of 1916-1917. Most casualties occurred during the chaotic situation in the Pontus in 1918-1922, when government control collapsed and the countryside was dominated by Greek and Turkish armed bands. Needless to say, violence was reciprocal, but still rather limited. The Turks did not undertake a more systematized suppression and deportation campaign until 1921-22, to remove the threat of a second front during the Greek advance in the west. This sparked the most bloody phase, with a very violent guerrilla warfare going on as the Pontians were driven from the cities to the mountains. On the Turkish side, the bands of Topal Osman, loosely controlled by the Kemalist government, were responsible for several atrocities, while the Pontians too did undertake several reprisals and massacres against Muslim villages. Even so, the number of Pontian victims overall is comparatively low: IIRC, some 25,000-30,000, depending on estimates. It was certainly an act of ethnic cleansing, but if the Kemalists had wanted to eradicate the Pontians, they'd have done it and no one would have been able to do anything about it.

I agree with you that it is too early (jumping the gun) to change the governmental listings of Libyan cities from Libya to Libyan Interim Government, as per your reversions at Al Marj and Al Abyār. However, is there a place where this can be generally discussed and to which we may refer other editors? Responding here is fine. --Bejnar (talk) 15:00, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Bingo! You are quite right, there is a lot of furore the past few days over a statement of the Turkish FM, Mehmet Davutoglu, who stated that Kastellorizo is "not in the Aegean", but in the Eastern Mediterranean, albeit he did qualify it as "a Greek island". The rub is that if Kastellorizo is part of the Aegean, then it will be considered along with the other Aegean islands in any Greco-Turkish settlement, which means it will be accorded a continental shelf and an extensive Exclusive Economic Zone (which AFAIK is also the current position per international law). The Turks favour a different interpretation in which Kastellorizo is an isolated exclave and a sui generis case, and has no continental shelf. Given the fact that the first position cuts off Turkey from the E. Med and its rumoured gas and oil deposits, as well as gives Greece a common maritime border with Cyprus and Egypt (see here), you can see why the Turks are trying to sneak in ambiguity in the island's status. In general, there's a lot going on the past few years, with Turkey exploiting it's own rising strength and Greece's weakness to push for concessions. We now have Turkish warships regularly cruising the Aegean a few dozen miles from Athens because (and I quote Davutoglu) "Turkey has a psychological need not to feel that the Aegean is only Greek". I like the Turks a lot, but comments like these make me mad, and you can imagine how others feel... So this is bound to spill over here too. Constantine ✍ 12:32, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello there! The reason I put that tag is, the article has only 1 source, to fix the problem you should first fix Stub tag by adding more information on it and then try to Adding source to article to make them verfied and reliable and then I will remove the tag, and usually this process of tagging being done automatically (although I added this tag manually).

Hello Alessandro! I'm fine, thanks a lot, I hope the same is true on your side too :) On the issue at hand, I agree that the agenda is obvious, although carefully phrased to appear neutral-ish. I am not an expert in Islamic issues, but I'd say your point is correct: from the moment that the prayer was uttered in a building that was a focal point of one religion and was clearly intended to serve a similar role under Islam, it became a mosque. Especially since ritual trappings are rather unimportant in Islam (and Christianity, in its essence), a mosque being primarily a congregation hall. You might want to ask some other users, perhaps at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities. Otherwise, you might consider taking it up with some administrators, since a user who is practically a single-purpose account is unlikely to let go easily. Constantine ✍ 09:54, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi there Alessandro57, I got your message. Unfortunately I do not have Runciman and Müller-Wiener with me. However I do agree that the Hagia Sophia was not just used as a mosque but was actually converted into a mosque (sounds a bit odd trying to make a difference between those two). I think you can bring in the argument that simply the construction of the minarets and the minbar speak for that fact. If that user should still give you problems, consider going here WP:Dispute resolution. I hope that helps. Gryffindor (talk) 16:22, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello Alex! No, I did not know the book, but it does indeed seem to be that cheap (quite a surprise for me too, Greek books are usually rather pricey...)

Hey Alex, forgive me for the late reply. I'm actually not too knowledgeable on what constitutes an official conversion of a non-mosque to a mosque or the usage of a non-mosque as a mosque. I've edited a number of mosque articles, and the only one I think is relevant to this situation is the Umayyad Mosque. Upon the Muslim conquest of Damascus and in the very early period of Arab rule, the mosque (which had been a Byzantine cathedral) was actually shared by the Christians and the Muslims with each group being allocated a section of the building for religious use. It was later converted into a full-fledged mosque by an Umayyad ruler, al-Walid. Perhaps there is a similarity between this and the Hagia Sophia. Hope that helps at least a little. --Al Ameer son (talk) 21:08, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, can you explain to me why you want to keep the language links for italian and turkish? There is no italian or turkish wikipedia site behind these links...! 14:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Dear Alex,
I know from personal experience of some of the difficulies involved in writing in another language, on a litterary level (as oppose to colloquial). The first time when I had an article of mine published in Italian, I tried writting in Italian , they had a look at my effort, said write it in English we will translate it. The translator did a very good job, they sent me the bozze- proofs, and there was this one sentense, which was pefect Italian, but had absolutely no relationship to my meaning. Well I wrote my own version in Italian of what it was that I meant, but it didn't get changed, so now I've got an article in print, and people reading it will forever be saying, what does the author mean here ?
Basically I was wondering If we could have a discussion in real time, this evening. I know that Zurich time is ahead of London time by an hour, so if you can at all, send me a note, giving both times to avoid comfusion. If you can't do today, give another date, I am self-employed and my shedules are fairly flexible. I was thinking we might try and get a discussion going on this page.

Hi Alessandro, thanks for explaining the reverting my edits on Turkic states.
I understand your example of Italy/Latin, US/Anglo. but your argument has shortcomings.
These Turkic states and peoples speak same basic language and share same culture, I have traveled across that region and I saw that.
I thought that would be natural referencing them together.
Since some of these pages already mentions this point, why not unify all references?
The image you re-added to Istanbul#First settlements does not depict the city prior to 330. Even if you contend that "Galata" existed back then (debatable), one can very clearly see the first bridge over the Golden Horn, which was not built until Justinian I's reign in the 6th century. The caption of the image (derived from the original collection, presumably) even says "Constantinople in Byzantine times"; it would not have used the name "Constantinople" if the image was depicting the city prior to 330. Please do not restore the image. -- tariqabjotu 07:16, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
User:Tariqabjotu is constantly erasing the twin city section of Istanbul. Every city (even small towns) with twin cities has a section about twin cities. This is not helpful for readers if any reference (even a wiki link) about twin cities is completely removed.
This is definately not about the manual of style, as it is his claim to completely erase it. If a section in an article becomes too long, a separate article is created, in this case for the twin cities of Istanbul, because there are many and a section in the Istanbul article would be too long.
And importantly to save space in the Istanbul article, the twin city section has been reduced as an internal wiki link (as a seperate article was created ) to direct readers. Readers will not automatically assume that there is an article about twin cities of Istanbul and may not realize it.
Could you warn this user. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.254.133.114 (talk) 18:53, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Hadim Ibrahim Pasha, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Topkapi (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.

Greeks lived in all three cities. I don't see a point to replace Istanbul with Constantinople or Byzantium every time Greeks are mentioned in article about Istanbul. If somebody wants to emphasize that Greeks lived in Constantinople and Byzantium they can do it in those articles, not in article about Istanbul. There would be a point to add information that Greeks lived in the city which is today Istanbul since it was Byzantium or Constantinople, but this information is already presented in the article many times.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 13:15, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello Allessandro. Could you take a look at the talk page of this article? John Julius Norwich has a slightly different version of the story of the inspiration for the church's founding than is now in the article. I wonder if you have any sources which bear on the subject.

Hi Alessandro, I would appreciate it if you explain to me the reason for your removal of Juno Moneta from the list of temples in the landmarks of Rome template. You said in your edit summary that it is from 2000 years (which I doubt since it is stated that it was consecrated from c. 344 BC) and that it cannot be included as one of today's landmarks. Is the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus one of today's landmarks or any other temple from the ones listed ? Alain08 (talk) 17:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Since you put it that way, I totally agree with you. If the template deals with Landmarks in Rome as of today (2012), then only visible and practically preserved landmarks should be listed. Thank you for clarifying it to me and Buon Compleanno to Roma :) Alain08 (talk) 14:50, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Toklu Dede Mosque, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Naos (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
