"which (insofar as the Byzantines controlled it) was the Theme of Thessalonica which is a part of Macedonia (according to Constantine Porphyrogenitus)"

This is rather confusing because it does not specifically mention which Macedonia is the Theme of Thessalonica part of. Also, there were so many changes during the years regarding the themes and their borders as well as the borders of Macedonia geographical or Macedonia proper, I suggest that we take that part out as to avoid confusion.

I cited what Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus is writing in De Thematibus, lib 2., in Bandur’s Latin translation, ed. Migne, from 1862, or Bekker’s translation (with parallel Geek), Bonnae 1840. If you have better source I would be pleased to see it.Draganparis (talk) 18:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For Brando130. Please do not undo my corrections without justification. I corrected the article on the Macedonia (theme) and these corrections are direct source supported (As I stated! in the “discussion”: I cited what Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus is writing in De Thematibus, lib 2., in Bandur’s Latin translation, ed. Migne, from 1862, or Bekker’s translation - with parallel Geek, Bonnae 1840. If you have better source I would be pleased to see it.). Does your explanation “nationalistic…” refers to Constantinue VII? Would you please conduct your disputes with Macedonians or Greeks at some other place.Draganparis (talk) 14:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
