thread_title:  Corn 

message: I found this article to be very badly structured, and remodelled it using the Corfu article. The major problem was the confusion whether it was just about the island of Kefalonia or about the Kefalonia and Ithaka Prefecture. There was also information in this article relating to Ithaka although that island has its on article. Therefore, I made the bold move of removing the prefecture infobox, replacing with a Greek island infobox, and setting up a new article for the prefecture. This will lead to less confusion in the future. 
The page looks a bid muddled now, as all the photos are crammed into the top sections. I will try to modify this, as well as the terrible standard of English in the article, later.--Damac 11:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure what the area of the island is, but it cannot be the same as that of Kefalonia and Ithaca Prefecture, since Ithaca and other islands (such as Arkoudi, Atokos, and Oxeia) are excluded. Backspace 17:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: New theory holds that Kefalonia was ancient Ithaca

message: There is a discrepancy btween the mid-20th century population figure of approximately 10,000 given near the start of the page and the number of people fleeing the 1953 earthquake - said to be as many as 100,000 of the island's 125,000 population. There is clearly something amiss here...
Having viewed a contemporary Pathe news report which refers to 10,000 homeless I am inclined to believe the lower figure.
Ioannis Metaxas was not native from Kefalonia, he was native from Ithaka.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.25.180.170 (talk) 21:34, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: What would be more worthwhile is to look at how more recent titles refer to the island. Cephalonia is an historical spelling, which is why it produces so many hits on Google Books. My experience as someone who lives in Greece and works as a journalist at an English-language paper here is that the most common spelling nowadays here and on Kefalonia is, surprise, surprise, Kefalonia! But don't let the natives decide on what the island should be called. What would they know?--Damac (talk) 16:03, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: My opinion is not yet firmly made on the matter, but I just want to point to you that English names that differ from local use are something quite common, and I don't think it is wrong. Last time I checked, it was still correct English to speak about Greece, Athens, Corfu and India rather than Ellas, Athina, Kerkyra and Bharat. As for on the spot use, in my experience it is often more handy, when there are several possible names for a place, to use the one most similar in sound to the local language when you are geographically near the place. That said, exonyms sometimes fall out of use: Marseilles and Lyons have lost their final S for good it seems. Place Clichy (talk) 18:51, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: Cephalonia is an island, and also a regional unit.
When you indicate the size, it is worth mention that the island has a size of 773 sqkm.
if you talk about the regional unit, then it includes several of the echinades islands, and also some offshore islands near Cephalonia itself.
in Total, it has 786 sqkm.
the point is, we must decide what are the statistics we want to use:
the regional unit, or the single island.
thanks,
Ofir
Because all the information is on the official greek islands website. We just have to decide to which parameter are we considering: a single island, or a regional unit (10 islands). Thats why. HonorTheIsland (talk) 15:32, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Can't we give both, e.g.: "773 km2 (island)786 km2 (regional unit)" ? Furius (talk) 19:21, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Island area 

message: This table of island is utterly unreliable. It is plain nonsense to assign a capital and "other cities" to uninhabited island. With no people living there, these simple can not exist. The Banner talk 19:23, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that "capital" and "other cities" is a poor choice of term. I wonder if it might be useful instead to have a list of the Echinades which belong to Cephalonia (the island group seems to be split between the Cephalonian municipality of Pylaros and the separate region of Ithaca), in the "Administration" section. Furius (talk) 20:09, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Still, if there are no people on the island, you can not have a human settlement whatsoever. The Banner talk 20:58, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

text: It is just completely unreliable. The island Echinades point now to a group of islands. While its capital Petalas points to an island. The Banner talk 21:02, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

text: Yeah. I think the original editor called Petalas the capital because it is the largest island in the group. Furius (talk) 22:52, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
