Talk:Pylos

Sources

User:Pwqn made some large edits a few months back that seem to be taken unattributed from other sources. It would be nice if someone could properly attribute these. Gwimpey 22:46, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Organization

The edits pushed the TOC to the end of the article. Most of that info looks good but seems somewhat disorganized, jumping back and forth between ancient and modern. Great pictures. There are a few opinionated statements, such as the miserable Greek town, which I've seen before but can't remember where. And there are a few errors, such as Nestor being from the modern Pylos. He would have been from the ancient. While we are waiting for the sources and the corrections I thought I would add some organization to what is actually there. This is only tentative, of course, and tries to follow what is there.Dave 02:34, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Ancient Pylos

There should be an article on the ancient Pylos also, which controled much of Messenia and is the locus of the sources. It shouldn't be this article, as there is much to be said. What is said here ought to stay but another article is needed, covering archaeology, society, stories, etc.Dave 02:34, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Especially considering this: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/golden-warrior-greek-tomb-exposes-roots-western-civilization-180961441/5.34.16.116 (talk) 13:37, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Sources

The paragraphs "The Historical Town" and "The Environs of Pylos" seem to have been copy/pasted from "THE MIRROR OF LITERATURE,AMUSEMENT, AND INSTRUCTION, VOL. 10, ISSUE 284, NOVEMBER 24, 1827" from project Gutenberg...

Shouldn't this at least be indicated in the article? merryXIV 00:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

GIS location off

The GIS coordinates on the Pylos article are off - puts you out to sea off the port - should the coordinates be corrected to "center of town" (at 36.911338° 21.697333°) or is there a more regimented method of establishing the coordinates for a general area?

Geography and Mycenaean Pylos

I noticed that under the geography section, there weren't any sources detailing the settlement and the "natural irregularities of the soil. I'll see what I can find and see if there are any sources that do a good job of reviewing specific details on the geography.

Also, on the Mycenaean/ancient Pylos section, perhaps getting some more open sourced material, especially on the population size, could be useful for future references. Jack.helms (talk) 00:48, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

sykia pass

The touristic book

E. Karpodini-Dimitriadi, Il Peloponneso, EKDOTIKE ATHEMON, 1988

states that the ottomans partially sanded this pass after Lepanto. It is clear that this source is not what one desires, thus if someone is able to confirm with a good source ... 151.29.149.29 (talk) 20:14, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
