Although Ioannidis wore no black shirts and was not a member of Il Duce's political party, I agree that he was much more than a quasi-fascist :) Rastapopoulos 07:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Was he still in jail when he died? The article is unclear about that. 87.208.3.170 (talk) 21:56, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He got ill and transferred to a hospital (Kratiko Nikaias), where he died. Greece666 (talk) 10:07, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Tragic Duel and the Betrayal of Cyprus

Some of the section on Ioannidis' role in the coup are referenced by a self-published book called "Η τραγική αναμέτρηση και η προδοσία της Κύπρου (The Tragic Duel and the Betrayal of Cyprus)", by Marios Adamides. As noted in WP:SELFPUBLISH, self-published books aren't considered WP:Reliable sources on Wikipedia, so we'll need to either find additional sources or remove the assertions that are only referenced by that book. The references were apparently added by the author of the book, so there's also an issue of WP:Conflict of interest, since the author is using his own work to support his assertions made about the coup.

Description in the lede

'Ioannidis was considered a "purist and a moralist, a type of Greek Gaddafi".'

Was the military dictatorship that Ioannidis played a central role in really considered by most observers to be guided by a pursuit of 'purity' and 'morality'? And, on the other hand, was Gaddafi himself really best known as 'a purist and a moralist'? I don't think that one author choosing this strange formulation is enough of a justification for placement in the lede. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 16:51, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
