Yorgos Arvanitis

Great job on your new Giorgos Arvanitis article, congratulations! Looks good. Did you edit Wikipedia before? This hardly looks like a typical "newbie"'s work. :-)

By the way, you put Arvanitis also on the Arvanites page. Do you happen to have some reference that he comes from an immediately Arvanite background or that he actually identifies as an Arvanite, apart from his name? Or is such a family name such a clear indicator in Greece? I mean, I'd guess not everybody called "Voulgaris" or "Karamanlis" would actually identify as a Bulgarian or Karamanli, would they?

Hi, good to hear from you again. Good idea about the alternative names too. It's actually easy, it's called a Wikipedia:Redirect - you just start as if you wanted to create Georgios Arvanitis or Yorgos Arvanitis, and then on each of those you enter:

#REDIRECT [[Giorgos Arvanitis]]

That does exactly what you want. With Greek names it's usually good to have a lot of redirects for all the different possible versions.

As for the sourcing about the "Arvanite" claim, yes, it would be good if you could find a reference - there's a general rule that with information about living persons, especially information these persons might potentially find somehow sensitive or personal, we have to be especially careful about only writing things we have clear evidence for. I'd actually even recommend removing it for the time being, until you have such evidence. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
