Talk:Greco-Persian Wars

message: "Greco-Persian Wars" as the title of this page is blatantly eurocentric and incorrectly implies that these were the first or most significant wars fought between the Achaemenid Empire and the Greeks. The page should be renamed "Greek Reconquest of Macedon, Thrace and Ionia."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.249.25.143 (talk) 19:20, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title? 

message: The Greco-Persian wars have continued at the time of the Alexander the Great. Since it was Macedon and the rest of the Greek states vs the Persians again and at the same era, it is appropriate to expand the current article to that and inappropriate not to do so, since that was a major part of it and its conclusion.  If others agree as well, you can state it here, in order to start adding that in the article as well Jazz1972 (talk) 14:48, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The Greco-Persian Wars are generally considered to have ended in around 450 BC. The wars of Alexander the Great are considered a separate topic. We base our articles on reliable sources and the reliable sources in this case do not consider the later wars of Alexander the Great as part of the Greco-Persian Wars. --Katolophyromai (talk) 15:19, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Updating a bibliographic source 

message: As written, this current version seems to promote the work of a popularizing writer for no particular reason other than to promote that author's work.  He has not published with a scholarly press.  He offers nothing new.  His name and content can be left in the bibliography, but the content promoting his views, including a redundant footnote, #5, should otherwise be removed. My concern is Wikipedia becoming a place where writers use these pages to promote their own work when they are not leading authorities, but have, in fact, rather used leading authorities whose work becomes subsumed under their own for no good reason. 96.246.22.244 (talk) 03:58, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Greco-Persian Wars →  – Not only is "Persian Wars" the overwhelmingly COMMONNAME of the conflict , but it is also more WP:CONCISE. Persian Wars (disambiguation) lists three other conflicts, all of which are WP:PARTIAL title matches that cannot be primary topics since they are never referred to as simply "Persian Wars". There is also Persian Wars (video game)Persian Wars (video game), which is obviously of negligible notability. Greco-Persian Wars dwarfs every other article listed on the DAB page in terms of pageviews, and  already redirects here. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece and Rome lists "Persian Wars" as the common name and "Greco-Persian Wars" the extended form, as does The Oxford Dictionary of the Classical World, the World History Encyclopedia, ThoughtCo, history textbooks  , English translation of Herodotus  , etc. InfiniteNexus (talk) 08:10, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
