User talk:Ulixes Lactanis

Welcome!

Hello, Ulixes Lactanis, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

Happy editing!

Archaeologist

I have no desire nor intention of trying to make US or British spelling the dominant one on Wikipedia. Wikipedia policy is to leave the initial spelling alone, unless it's wrong, or if, for example, it's a particularly British or particularly American subject. Rick K 23:23, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

That's what he says, but even in major US newspapers, over the last 6 months, "archaeologist" was used 84% of the time, so "archeologist" is not very common in the US, either. 141.161.70.7 03:12, May 5, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, gotta disagree. "Archeologist" is the version most Americans would use. Rick K 19:17, May 5, 2005 (UTC)

Thessaloniki and Slavs

At Talk:Thessaloniki I have put some references to the Slavonic sacking of and brief residency in Thessaloniki. I will place more references there as I happen to come across them in my reading. I hope this helps to show you that the Slavs were a major force in the city for a time, although their heyday was brief. Since the Orthodox of Thessaloniki are so proud of being the city which sent out Sts Cyril and Methodius to evangelise the Slavs, I find it odd that they rarely mention the Slavonic population which once existed there.
