Infobox needs to be Redone

The Infobox should be ascending, not descending, so that his most recent time in office is displayed at the top rather than his earliest term in office as Prime Minister... Stevenmitchell (talk) 01:21, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up & sources

It has been nearly 15 years since I wrote the page for Venizelos. During that period, there were good additions by many editors, but not necessarily being added in an ordered fashion. Moreover, it was reviewed for GA (a long time ago), with criticism being that the references needed some cleanup (missing information, consistency, in-text citation, reliability, etc.), among other things see details here, and many "citations needed" in the main text. I intend to revisit the article and try to clean up the references (I already did some work in this direction) and then update the text by minimizing the reliability on contemporary (potentially unreliable) to increase more modern reliable sources. The are a few new books about Venizelos, so their inclusion would help here, see [1], [2]. Hopefully, this will bring the article to GA status. For reference, this is the version of the text before the cleanup.

A note for future, please adopt the template:sfn when you are adding a citation/reference.A.Cython (talk) 20:20, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
