Welcome to OrthodoxWiki!
Hello, George Makris, and welcome to OrthodoxWiki!
Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Please note that OrthodoxWiki is always in development, so not everything works quite right yet. You can help, though!
OrthodoxWiki is a community-edited encyclopedia of Orthodox Christianity. Articles are created and edited by our members, and so everything that we do here is subject to review and revision. The result is a true consensus product, with every interested editor contributing his own knowledge and writing skills. As such, when you feel that criticism of an article is warranted, we encourage you to join in and fix it! Don't worry about breaking anything or doing something wrong—the other editors here are happy to jump in and help you learn.

PLEASE read carefully the section of the Style Manual titled OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual (Point of View). Also please note that other editors will assume that you have read the Style Manual (our official editing guidelines). If you're wondering why an edit was reverted, an article renamed, or any other unexpected changes were made by another editor, check there. |
Please also take a few moments to edit your user page by clicking on your name here, so that we can know a bit about you: User:George Makris. Feel free also to add your picture to the OrthodoxWiki:User gallery.
If you are uploading images, be sure you're doing so legally and according to OrthodoxWiki policy. Failure to abide by policy may result in your images getting deleted without warning.

Image uploads
Dear George,
Thanks for contributing to OrthodoxWiki! Just a note on your recent image uploads -- there is no copyright information on them. We need explicit permission to use images off the web, or that we created by someone else in recent memory -- we need to avoid legal complication in the future. I'm going to delete them. If you are able to confirm permission to use these, let me know and I can restore them, or you can re-upload them and put a note about the copyright status on the Image page in the Commons. Thanks, — FrJohn (talk) 20:03, July 27, 2007 (PDT)
