SEGAS

its official from 1905 . Segas ofcourse is official. Are you crazy??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.72.179.55 (talk) 13:08, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

SEGAS championships are not recognised as official. When you look at the Greek Champions, Ethnikos or Goudi are not listed. If you want you could create a separate article for the SEGAS Championship but it has nothing to do with the Panhellenic Championship, Alpha Ethniki and Super League, so you should not start an edit war in another one article, like you recently did- Sthenel (talk) 13:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

dear IP user, next time you'll revert edits, you'll be banned from Wikipedia for breaking the Three Revert Rule. Plus the edits you made are not correct, as EPO officialy recognizes only the championships after 1927. --KaragouniS :  Chat  16:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Pan-hellenic Championship 1940-41 and 1942-43

I found the articles [Pan-hellenic Championship 1940-41], [Pan-hellenic Championship 1942-43]. What must we do about them? Sportin (talk) 12:24, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Final position

Finally, which one is considered the final position of the teams, that of the regular season or after play offs? We cannot say all the time that a team finished 2nd in the regular season and 4th in the play offs. One position is supposed to be the final one. Which one? The play offs determine the final place in the league or just the qualification to the European Cups? - Sthenel (talk) 22:37, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

The final position is the one after the play-offs (no doubt). That's why the play-offs exist. Psyrras Panagiotis 10:34, 9 February 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sinis smooth (talk • contribs)

Corruption section

There is a persistent removal of content by new user Montigliani, who first used the following description to justify his action: "Removal of vandalism. These additions are based on unreliable fan forums and no relationship with the Greek Championship over time." It goes without saying that the content is cited by high end sources, including the BBC, Guardian and many other reliable media. Montigliani doubled down this morning, this time with no reason. Dynasty Power (talk) 13:35, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

There are entries about the modules you add. But they have no place here and never existed before. (Personal attack removed) no one has ever been convicted by Olympiakos. On the contrary, he was acquitted in all the cases he was accused of. In a league with a 100-year history, only the performances of the teams and not your hatred for a club and its president have a place. Montigliani (talk) 16:44, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

The nature of corruption in Greek football is very well documented by international media and academic researchers. Dynasty Power (talk) 12:40, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

The issue is what business it has in the article of the Greek league. There are other other articles on these topics (2015 Greek football match-fixing scandal, Evangelos Marinakis). From what I can see, you have updated them properly. (Personal attack removed) Olympiacos and its president were acquitted of all the cases that his opponents accused him of.

Βρισκόμαστε στις αρχές Αυγούστου 1923. Η ομάδα του Πειραϊκού Συνδέσμου, η οποία πριν από μερικές εβδομάδες είχε κατακτήσει τους τελικούς Αθηνά, Πειραιά και Σμύρνης επικρατώντας και στα τέσσερα παιχνίδια κόντρα σε Παναθηναϊκό, Πανιώνιο, Απόλλωνα και Πειραϊκή Ένωση, επιβιβάζεται στο ατμόπλοιο «Χίος» με προορισμό τη Θεσσαλονίκη. Εκεί πρόκειται να αντιμετωπίσει τον Άρη για τον τελικό του πρώτου επίσημου πρωταθλήματος Ελλάδος. Ο αγώνας είναι προγραμματισμένος για τις 12 Αυγούστου, ενώ για έδρα ορίζεται στο γήπεδο του Ηρακλή στις Σκαμνιές. Ο τύπος της εποχής ασχολείται εκτενώς με το παιχνίδι. «Ο αγών ούτος, ο πρώτος δια το νεοσυσταθέν Πανελλήνιον πρωτάθλημα προμηνύεται πεισματοδέστατος. Εις τους συμπολίτας μας δίδεται η ευκαιρία να συγκρίνουν την πρόοδον του Ποδοσφαίρου εν Παλαιά Ελλάδι και εν Μακεδονία. Ο αγών ούτος θέλει επιρεάσει σοβαρώς την εκλογήν της Ελληνικής Εθνικής Ομάδος διά τους Ολυμπιακους Αγώνας των Παρισίων» σημειώνεται σε άρθρο της εφημερίδας Μακεδονία. 2A02:586:813D:2A2F:7DD0:9BC8:776:F439 (talk) 08:09, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Corruption and violence

Hi, everyone. The two sections within the body of the article delve into a highly pertinent and widely acknowledged aspect of Greek football, extensively documented by various sources over the past decade. Initially introduced by a user previously banned for misconduct, this substantial section was later inexplicably removed. The questionable and continuous removal was attributed to the user's ban status, which is a rather arbitrary reason considering the wealth of credible citations supporting the content. Such actions raise questions about the understanding of Wikipedia's guidelines, veering into the territory of vandalism. It's imperative to note that the section in question addresses a longstanding and extensively reported issue within Greek football, making its removal without substantial consensus both puzzling and unjustified. While consensus-driven edits are encouraged, the current state of affairs underscores the importance of preserving well-researched and widely recognized content, despite its origins. EverLove124 (talk) 09:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

First of all you are lying as you are a user yourself, so a puppet. Secondly. You could put these two sections in without undoing previous users' edits, but you don't. Thirdly, why are you limited only to the scandals of the last decade and not to all the scandals of Greek football? And last. The entries of all national leagues refer only to the performances of teams and footballers. There are separate entries for the various scandals. You simply have a personal problem with the president of Olympiacos and Olympiacos in general and you are trying to tarnish his history. Wikipedia means neutrality which you don't have and therefore your editing is not accepted. Montigliani (talk) 16:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

There is no explanation of the removal and once again you are accusing me of being a puppet without running a checkuser as per WP policy. Feel free to bring any other scandals that should be mentioned without erasing cited content without any consensus. EverLove124 (talk) 16:19, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

No discussion with you makes sense. You don't answer anything I asked you and you do whatever you want. Also no checkuser is needed for you. The administrators know who you are and you will receive your reply soon. Montigliani (talk) 16:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I've asked you three times now what specifically you disagree with regarding the cited content. In just a few sentences, you disputed the existence of scandals without addressing any inaccuracies in the citations provided. I extended an invitation for you to contribute to my addition, hoping for a constructive exchange, but unfortunately, it hasn't materialized. Let's wait and see who responds. Your actions seem akin to vandalism. EverLove124 (talk) 21:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Anyway, you look a lot like the user here User:Dynasty Power. You are all the same I would say.

Further subdivision of the Championship from 2005

@Montigliani: The Greek championship is divided into three sections, which are also listed in the article:

• Panhellenic Championship (1927-1959)
• National League (1959-1979)
• Professional League (1979-present)

A further subdivision of the Professional League from 2005 or 2019 is unnecessary, as these only include changes to the league name and have not changed the format of the league. I would agree with @Abudabanashere, with whom you are in an edit war on this topic. Miria~01 (talk) 13:38, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

But I disagree. I think a league with no playoffs is different than a league with extra playoffs. Why bother with most of the details, since the essence is the same. I don't change the champions, but I explain in detail how champions were made. Montigliani (talk) 09:29, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

But that's just your personal view without any evidence that any medium describes it that way. It's a clear WP:OR. Point to at least one source that shares your point of view.

Miria~01 (talk) 15:15, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

And who told you that the gazzeta.gr is a reliable source? This is a reliable source: https://www.slgr.gr/el/management/ which says that:The Cooperative was founded in July 2006, in the form of a civil Limited Liability Cooperative in accordance with the provisions of Law 1667/1986 and Law 3479/2006 on the "Establishment, organization and operation of sports professional associations and other provisions". Members of the Cooperative are the Football Corporations (P.A.E.).

The main activity of the Cooperative is the organization and conduct of the football championship of professional football A' National category, in accordance with the regulations and decisions of the Hellenic Football Federation (E.P.O.) and the above international football confederations (U.E.F.A., F.I.F.A.).

Before 2006, the organizer of the championship was Hellenic Football Federation. After 2006 we have another organizing authority. The Super League.

So stop vandalizing with your friends. Montigliani (talk) 15:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@Montigliani The organiser was ΕΠΑΕ since 1979, not the HFF. What happened in 2006 was that the ΕΠΑΕ was dissolved and transformed into the Super League. The teams remained Limited companies, the players are professionals and the format is the same. The change of the name is already mentioned and also the addition of playoffs/playouts occasionally. For the first season we had no playoffs, then for some seasons we had for pos. 2-5, then again for some years we had none, the last years we have for pos. 1-6. All that are unnecessary details for someone who simply wants to understand what is the difference between Panhellenic/National/Professional and how the Greek Championship evolved. The SL is part of the Professional League section of the Greek Championship. Abudabanas (talk) 16:12, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Unnecessary details in a correct entry do not exist. On the contrary, it is a big mistake to omit important things, such as: league without playoffs, league where the champion emerges after playoffs. Then let's integrate all the championships from 1927 to the present in one category. Montigliani (talk) 18:00, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@Montigliani It is more important for you to mention if a season in 2008 or 2018 had play-offs or not, rather than help someone understand what is the difference between a Panhellenic Championship (1927-1958) and a National/Professional League (1959-79-present). To help someone truly capture the evolution of the Greek Championship Abudabanas (talk) 18:33, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@Miria~01 Need your help on this with reporting for resolution, admins etc. There is no way he will stop reverting and do his own thing. Abudabanas (talk) 18:28, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@Miria~01 What is the Greek Super League? It is simply the name of the league since 2006. A change of the name. The SL is a professional league. The same goes for all the league editions since 1979-80. The players are professionals, teams are limited companies, the format remained the same. A national round-robin tournament. Followed occasionally by playoffs/playouts which is the only difference and is already mentioned. The differences between Panhellenic/National/Professional are the most important and should be clearly shown and available to every reader in my opinion. These are the 3 sections of the Greek Championship as it evolved through the years. It is also how the Greek Championship was presented in the official HFF site (Πανελλήνιο/Εθνικό/Επαγγελματικό meaning Panhellenic/National/Professional). I don't know why that link is recently dead though. The most popular website gazzetta.gr wrote exactly the same thing. Abudabanas (talk) 15:48, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Final stage playoffs of Panhellenic Championship (1927-59) named as top division

I find that totally wrong. A top division was established in Greece in 1959. The final stage playoffs between the winners/top ranked teams of the Regional Leagues should not be named top division participations. There was no top division and no team was relegated to a 2nd division. There were regional leagues and final stage playoffs. To back up my point of view I will present the following: i) In the List of unrelegated association football clubs article, the historical considerations section explains in detail the differences in many countries between older league formats with regional leagues - final stage playoffs and the present ones which are national round-robin tournaments. ii) Watching a Greek derby on TV during the last 30-40 years, all broadcasting channels (NOVAsports/Cosmote or SKAI/MEGA in the past) when they show tables of the results history between 2 teams, they never include matches before 1959 in the statistics. Even if it is AEK-Panathinaikos or Aris-PAOK for example. They met in the past multiple times in their Regional Leagues and also in the Final Stage playoffs of the Panhellenic Championship (1927-59). The same goes for the official Super League website, bookmakers, betting info websites or sports websites. All of them do not include the results before 1959 and do not consider them as division matches because there is a huge difference. The format was different. We have a National League, a Top Division since 1959. Before 1959, there was a championship tournament containing two stages. The Regional Leagues which were simiral to present qualifying rounds and the final stage playoffs who determined the champion. iii) I will give an example on why a table presenting a first season appearance in Panhellenic Championship final stage as a first season in top division is false in my opinion. The season of the inaugural Greek Championship 1927-28. Aris faced PAOK in the Thessaloniki Regional League. Aris finished 1st and PAOK 2nd. Aris qualified for the final stage playoffs of the Championship. The previous table which I altered showed: Seasons in top division, Aris 1 / PAOK 0. How is that possible when they faced each other that season? If I am a foreigner with little knowledge in Greek football history who reads this table, I will falsely presume that there was a top division where Aris was playing and PAOK was playing in a lower one. I simply corrected that and wrote the table like this. Seasons in Panhellenic Championship Final Stage, Aris 1 / PAOK 0. I find that accurate. And the same goes for all seasons where Panathinaikos qualified from the Athens Regional League and AEK did not or the opposite. I did not delete the total appearances in the final stage of the Panhellenic Championship of each team. I changed the table where it is characterised as top division appearance in order that it is presented more properly and in a more accurate way. Anyone who disagrees can write down his opinion on the matter. Thank you Abudabanas (talk) 10:22, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
