It appears that much of the copy is drawn from https://www.hellenicaworld.com/Greece/Person/en/GerasimosArsenis.html verbatim. If you disagree with this, please let me know. I will try to remedy this apparent need for redrafting the affected copy. Plantswoman05 (talk) 17:04, 10 July 2024 (UTC)This has been amended for political career under Prime Minister Papandreou, must still be done for offices held under his successor, with new sources added. Further information on the nature of his disagreements with PAKOS in 1985-1986 should be added.Reply

IInfobox officeholder - wish to add additional offices to include all Ministerial positions as this infobox leaves various offices out.

The page for Gerasimos Arsenis stated that Andreas Papandreou was hospitalised for three months, I have changed this to two, in line with 2 sources. Plantswoman05 (talk) 15:22, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It stated on the page that Andreas Papandreou as head of the party, PASOK, however credible sources say that he resigned as Prime Minster, not as party leader, and that it was for that that Gerasimos Arsenis stood on Papandreou's resignation. Plantswoman05 (talk) 15:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sources for Arsenis standing for PM vs Party leader: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-01-16-mn-25141-story.html and https://time.com/archive/6927654/papandreou-resigns/ Plantswoman05 (talk) 15:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Both of the above are also the source for the correction from 3 month to 2 month hospitalization. Plantswoman05 (talk) 15:45, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It seems that the educational reforms Arsenis brought in were controversial, leading to prosecutions of students and legal changes to prevent protests about education reform, which is ommitted from his biography page. More information needed.

Children: prior citation stated he 'raised four children' with his wife [1] however a credible news source states that he had two children - these may be the son his wife had with her first husband and the daughter she had by Arsenis, but not confirmed. Copy changed to two children. Correction: 2 sources now state 4 children so changed back and additional citations added. http://www.garsenis.gr/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/SUNS.pdf

On Greek Socialist Party. This seems to be differently named in various sources. The eponymous party is linked on wikipedia to its own page in English, however there are not many references on that page. Will be altering that entry to align with other sources found.
