Hi, you reverted my edit on this page because the Greek page was not a suitable translational material. I'm curious why so as not to make the same mistake again. The Greek page is much longer and contains several sources not found on the English one. Why don't you think it's a good target? ThaesOfereode (talk) 12:07, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for reaching out. My main concern about the Greek page is that it is entirely written from within the religious POV on which the veneration of these saints is based, i.e. taking their alleged historical existence for granted, presenting their lives as if they were actual biographies, and describing the story of their "discovery" in the 1950s as actual miracles and feats of religious revelation. It also gives ample space to lurid descriptions of their barbarous tortures at the hands of the evil Turks, straight through literal quotations of the victim's own narrative after their deaths (!) (i.e. what 20th-century people reported the saints revealed to them in their dreams), all of this as if it was actual historical source material.The text also seems to be a fairly close paraphrase of its main source, the pemptousia.gr webpage. This carries a double problem: first, it would carry over a WP:Close paraphrasing issue into our article if we translated or paraphrased the text again; at the same time, the web page is hardly a reliable source, certainly not about claims of history. We don't really have a lot of actual reliable source material about these as far as I'm aware, at least I didn't find more than to support the brief article we have now.

Thanks for the full response; glad the revert was because I don't speak Greek and not because I've been tagging stuff poorly all along! I appreciate you taking the time to review the Greek article and remove my tag. ThaesOfereode (talk) 16:26, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
