Talk:Thessaloniki

message: In section 2.3 (History.Ottoman period) there is a graph that user  deleted with the edit summary "(→‎Ottoman period: not correct map. Greeks were not majority)". Here is a link to the chart in question.
If I understand Greco22's comment, they deleted this graph because they interpreted it as claiming Greeks were always a majority of the population of Thessaloniki, I believe they are reading the graph such that if we look at 1800 we find approximately 60,000 Greeks; 50,000 Turks; 20,000 Jews. If this is the case then I believe there has been a misunderstanding in what the graph shows. As far as I can tell this is a stacked line graph meaning that if we look at 1800 the graph actually tells us there were approximately 10,000 Greeks; 30,000 Turks; 10,000 Jews. Now, there is no source listed for the data depicted by the figure, which may be reason enough to delete the graph, but comparing it to the cited numbers in the article and to some academically sourced numbers I just found online it seems like the figure is pretty accurate.
Maybe we still want to delete it? I don't feel strongly one way or another but I thought I would bring it back since the reason for its deletion seems to have been a misunderstanding.Skoulikomirmigotripa (talk) 20:56, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I agree it's evidently meant as a stacked chart. As for sourcing, following the file description of the French file from which ours was adapted, it appears it's modelled after a print source here: . This would seem quite an acceptable source, as far as I can see, but of course it should be mentioned as such, both on the file description and in the article. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:43, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

message: This section is currently a sea of blue. I have added the appropriate maintenance template. A list would work a lot better, with the potential to be more informative overall. 1980fast (talk) 23:52, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

message: Why isn't there a separate article called "Selanik"? I want to learn the situation of Selanik (Thessaloniki) during the Ottoman period, not the situation under Greek occupation. 37.155.84.69 (talk) 14:49, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
