Wikipedia. Alexis Tsipras's partner complains of mistakes

Unread post by Poetlister » Sat Jan 06, 2018 9:55 pm

The Greek Prime Minister's partner regrets in the press tht there are several errors in her article, even though she said she had reported them to Wikipedia. Betty Baziana, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras's companion, ignored her usual reservations about the media on Friday, explaining that there was a problem with her Wikipedia article because, according to her, it was about someone else.

I am unclear whether she is complaining about her article in French or in Greek.

Here's an English-language article on the story.

It appears to be the Greek article (google translation). Who knew that the sound /b/ was spelled Μπ in Greek? ^^

Betty Batziana! The partner of Tsipras! But why does she have a article? Because she stays out of the spotlights, and has here own carrier.
She is a leftish, intellectual lady who lived in a flat in Athens, and that's it. Or maybe they are moved to Kifisia, the neighborhood were are living all Greek professors/ politics. They also send there Children to one of the most expensieve private schools in Athens, what gave her and Tsipras a lot of criticism. You can consider them as pragmatic marxists, just as Varoufakis who is married to one of the richest woman of Greece.
But his wife is a artist, and I think it is right she has a article. And a I wrote article about here too, because she is a writer, not because her husband was a minister. But about Batziana I should never write a article, because she is just the partner of.

That's in Modern Greek, due to numerous sound changes from Ancient Greek.

Yes, for instance μπαρ= bar.

Varoufakis' wife (Danae Stratou (T-H-L)) is a fairly famous artist, who might have been the inspiration for the song "Common People".

I'm not sure why Alexis Tsipras' partner has a Wikipedia page. (It seems en.wp doesn't have a page. Perhaps the Greek Wikipedia does?) Notability isn't inherited.

Well, because she wants to stay out of the spotlights, she is often a victim of the terrible Greek Paparazzi. And here dresses are many times extravagant, so I think that is the reason the Greek Wiki has a article. If there is not a story about here, the Greek Paparazzi makes one. By the way, almost every newspaper in Greece is a tabloid. There are hardly good newspapers. And the populair television stations are the same. Did you know there was no news about the Euro crisis in Greece, till the Greek euro crash?

Thanks.
Look at the article, one version back. Greek sources.... Complete unreliable, they want to discredit her and Tsipras.

As I've remarked elsewhere, every spouse of a British Prime Minister seems to have an article, and there's even Spouse of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (T-H-L). Why shouldn't the Greeks get equal treatment?

Because in reliable sources you can find hardly something about here. Tsipras was a black horse, he was the city architect of Athens who hardly spoke English, was graduated on the Technical University of Athens, and was living together with his love in a flat in Athens! Syriza was nothing, micro political party!

Were do you want to find reliable sources about here? Here Facebook page? In the Greek tabloids?
The wife of Varoufakis is a other story, she is a artist and a Greek jetset woman. But Betty Batziana, a woman who just like the wife of Putin wants to stay out of the spotlights? A article? About here extravagant way of dressing? Come on!

There seem to be articles on every spouse of a prime minister of Australia and most spouses of a proime minister of Canada. However, New Zealand is far less well served.
