Καλώς ήρθατε

Καλησπέρα, χρόνια πολλά, και καλώς ήρθατε! Υπάρχει σαφής πολιτική της κοινότητας περί της χρήσης εικόνων και εν γένει μορφοποίησης των άρθρων, στο WP:MOS. Υπερμεγέθεις εικόνες καλό είναι να αποφεύγονται, και ακόμα περισσότερο καλό είναι να αποφεύγεται το text sandwiching, με εικόνες από τις δυο πλευρές και το κείμενο να συμπιέζεται στη μέση. Πέρα από λόγους αισθητικής υπάρχει πρακτικός λόγος, δηλ. η αναγνωσιμότητα του άρθρου σε μικρότερες οθόνες, όπως λ.χ. κινητά. Επιπλέον, αν θέλετε να προωθήσετε τα Ιωάννινα ως πόλη, αυτό θα γίνει με το να βελτιωθεί η ποιότητα του άρθρου ως εγκυκλοπαιδικού λήμματος για την πόλη, όχι με το να γεμίσει με διακοσμητικά στοιχεία. Η Βικιπαίδεια είναι εγκυκλοπαίδεια, όχι τουριστική μπροσούρα, και οι εικόνες κατά κανόνα θα έπρεπε να προστίθενται προς εικονογράφηση του κειμένου, όχι ως διακόσμηση ή αυτοσκοπός.

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Ioannina.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop adding ridiculously large images to the article without first discussing them on the talkpage. Please stop otherwise you may soon be blocked. Thank you. Dr. K. 11:22, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Ioannina. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Taspapa, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Ioannina has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:13, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weird adjustments

I believe there is need to explain why you copy-pasted a huge part from 'Ali Pasha' in Ioannina article and created a mess in the history section, since Ali Pasha era was already described a couple of paragrahs below. I see also no reason why you removed the "Orismos". "If" you know some fundamentel facts about the history of this place this piece of paper is of top importance.Alexikoua (talk) 17:34, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
