Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! — Diannaa (talk) 18:23, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

House of Damalas moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to House of Damalas. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 03:02, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Among the citations that have linked sources, there doesn't appear to be significant coverage of the subject such that it meets WP:GNG. Citations 5-10, meanwhile, are incomplete and cannot be tracked down by the average reader. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 03:04, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for your guidance. I believe that I have fixed the errors that you mentioned; can you please confirm this? Also I can confirm that there is no conflict of interest. I have been researching the architecture of the Church of the Holy Apostles in Pyrgi, Chios. It is one of the best preserved examples of Byzantine architecture in Greece. As it turns out, the Damalas family were it's founders. It served as their personal shrine on one of their several estates on the island. I was already familiar with the Damalas name as my own family also comes from Chios and it is commonly known that they were of the original ruling class. Upon further research of the family I discovered the depths of their rich and significant history in the region. It certainly seemed worthy of if chronicling their history just as other nobles from this region. I plan to use my local knowledge to expand onto other notable families of Chios once I have completed this. Thank you again for your help. Xiotiscxii (talk) 17:44, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

May 2023

Hello, I'm Yopie. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Damalas, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Yopie (talk) 13:07, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

@Yopie Hello. I am not understanding why you are labeling it as a hoax when their are plenty of sources to confirm what is chronicled. I don't see that warranted when it's clear that the sources have not been read. Please help me understand your thought process on this matter. Chios historian (talk) 13:20, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Damalas. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Yopie (talk) 14:34, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

@Yopie You stopped replying on the talk page where the discussion was happening. Please refer to the talk page and if there is more discussion to be held, it may be. Chios historian (talk) 14:39, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
