Year of birth

[edit]

His birth date is uncertain. I have added academic source about 1865. Check here please: Nikos Kazantzakis author, Peter Bien ed., The Selected Letters of Nikos Kazantzakis, Princeton Modern Greek Studies, Princeton University Press, 2012, ISBN 0691147027, p. 66. This year is confirmed by the photo of his gravestone. There is no source for 1869. Maybe this is a mistake. Jingiby (talk) 05:36, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another source in French with similar photo from his gravestone. The plate is the same as on the photo in the article. The year of his birth is shown as 1865. Check here please: Rayonnement international Association culturelle sans but lucratif fondée à Genève (Suisse) le 14 décembre 1988: Zorba (1865-1941). Jingiby (talk) 05:46, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
On WIKIDATA we have the same year of birth: 1865. Jingiby (talk) 05:52, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And here is an article in modern Macedonian language taken from the site off.net.mk with identical photo from his gravestone. The year of his birth is the same: 1865 and the article itself claims the same. Jingiby (talk) 06:31, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth

[edit]

George Zorbas was born in Ottoman Empire. Which country this territory belongs today can be noted, but he was born in another time, i.e. his own time. Jingiby (talk) 16:45, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. Only, your reverts didn't take notice of that. The article as it was before you started edit-warring, did mention that he was born in the Ottoman Empire. In your edit summaries, you used excuses that don't have anything to do with that (e.g. "Part of today Northern Greece became officially Bulgarian territory after the Balkan wars"). What does this have to do with Zorbas' birthplace? And as I see, you have been blocked from editing many times, exactly for this sort of behavior... 2A02:214C:8023:FA00:CDEB:38C8:93C4:3A71 (talk) 17:54, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please, register an account to discuss the issue and stop canvassing and sockpuppetry. Thank you. Jingiby (talk) 18:21, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, User:Diontsi, please provide some sources about the place of birth of Zorbas, you have changed. Thanks. Jingiby (talk) 20:06, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
By the way I have found some sources supporting the view, he was born in Katafygio, but no one that confirms he was born in Kolindros, and because of that I have added tags into the article. Jingiby (talk) 20:13, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Jingiby, His full name, fathers name, year and place are documented in the Registry book of Katafygio until today. There is no such reliable evidence that he was born in Kolindros.
