I verify that the Original Reporting for this article has to do with short interviews with project's supervisor Professor Angelopoulos(inra@past.auth.gr) and his collaborators. The information presented in this article are exclusive. Anybody could affirm the information through contacting the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Theology School or the Greek Archdiocese of America, New York, USA(8 East 79th Street, New York, NY 10021 Fax: (212) 570-3569) Moreover, the issue has been published in some greek sources, such as a whole article in the daily greek newspaper "Kathimerini". If you have any queries, please ask here. Please do not make changes in the article information if you don't have credible sources. Thanks. Zorba 20:41, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Title edit

Okay, you got the OR defense out the way quickly, I think it needs a shorter and more explanatory title. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have already changed the title into a shorter one. Want more? Zorba 21:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ok, Brian; You took this title from my mind. Thanks :) Zorba 21:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I was reading the article trying to think of a suggestion, I went to write a suggestion on the talk page and got an edit conflict, saw your revised title, which prompted the question, "what's to be done with the correspondence?"
Now, the article. It gets interesting about the point where you mention Harry Truman. If you work from the point of catching people's interest by mentioning some of the treasures in the collection (like correspondence with Presidents) in the first sentence or two more people will read to the end. Let me rearrange the pictures before you tear into it again. At the moment it is good in a newswire style, all the data is provided for another source to lift from. :-) --Brian McNeil / talk 21:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

By-line? edit

Is there a policy about bylines for OR on Wikinews? I'd like to see "By Zorba" or "By Actual Name" or by "By Wikinewsie: Zorba" (except this last sounds pejorative, like Star Trekkie, to which Star Trekker is preferred). Maybe "By Wikinews reporter Zorba" ?
67-21-48-122 14:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC): We have a policy (maybe in WN:not ?) that prohibits bylines. Most articles are written as part of collaboration between several users. It would be unfair to give only one of these users the byline. Even if we tried to list all authors it still can be unfair; should we list the person who fixed a typo with the person who wrote several paragraphs?Reply

If in OR a reporter would like to write their name into the article (ex. X told Wikinews reporter Y something) they can do so, though it is frowned upon.--Cspurrier 15:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
