Peisistratos (Athens) → Peisistratos or Peisistratus — The Athenian tyrant Peisistratos is by far the best-known individual with this name. Cf all other foreign-language wikis to that effect. Constantine ✍ 11:50, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Main Spelling.

Should be Pisistratus, all I'm saying.

Well we seem to have a few different spellings, Pei- or Pi- and then -os or -us.

• It actually has various spellings, all of which can be included at the top of the article but should have some referential base for the spelling, not supposition... Stevenmitchell (talk) 20:55, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Extensive updates to Peisistratos article based on research of numerous primary and secondary resources

Making extensive updates and changes to Peisistratos article. Did research on background leading to his eventual rise to power. Reorganized sections, including subdividing his three reigns of power separately and his achievements into culture and arts plus foreign and domestic policies. Updated some existing footnotes plus added many secondary and primary citations. Changes originally done in a draft sandbox and will copy over modifications in small increments, one section at a time or in smaller slices if a particular section is rather large.

Had posted this very same info two revisions ago but deleted it one revision ago because no subject/headline was filled in. Now, reposted this same summary info with an accompanying subject/headline header for easier readability and organization on talk page. JumpOffsides (talk) 14:19, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Peisistratos → Pisistratus (or Peisistratus) – Conventional rendition of Greek names in English. 'Pisistratus' is used by the Oxford Classical Dictionary and Cambridge Ancient History. Here is also a Google Books Ngram viewer, showing a slight preference for Pisistratus after 1920, and a marked one before that.
