A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on June 17, 2020 and June 17, 2021.

One partizan source is not reliable

On the orders of the Pasha of Candia (Heraklion), he was tortured outside Heraklion's harbour fortress, skinned alive and executed οn 17 June 1771.[6] He is said to have suffered all this in dignified silence. The Turks forced Daskalogiannis' brother to watch the torturous execution and it drove him insane.[6][7] [6:] a b Detorakis, Turkish rule in Crete, p. 360 [7:] Detorakis, Turkish rule in Crete, p. 361

For such a terrible accusation you need more serious sources. ONE Greek telling such fairy tales is not enough. We are probably dealing with another Greek atrocity propaganda (directed against Turks). Chonanh (talk) 04:12, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You don't provide any evidence to the contrary yet you speak about fairy tales, furthermore the fact that you take this personally with such an irascible manner shows your bigotry bias and inferiority complex if nothing else.DiogenesLaertios (talk) 04:25, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vlach (Romanian) origin of Daskalogiannis

The Vlachos family was a Aromanian family. In fact, "Vlachos" means "The Aromanian". The Aromanians used to be merchants all over Ottoman Balkans (including Greece) and along the commercial roads between Balkans and Syria. The fact that Daskalogiannis was of Aromanian origin does not harm his position of Greek hero, therefore it's strange that the creators of this page did not mention anything about his ancestry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.27.135.30 (talk) 06:27, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

His last name does not provide his origin, there is no evidence for what you said and if there is you have to cite sources for your claim. Plus Aromanian does not necessarily indicates a Romanian ethnicity, in the same sense that an Italian is not French despite the fact that both groups speak a latin based language.DiogenesLaertios (talk) 04:29, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
