Talk:Elis

message: I think this article should either be renamed "Ileia" (that's the official transliteration, Ilia is the transliteration proposed by the US Board of Geographic Names), or merged with Elis (it is the same, isn't it?). Reactions at Talk:Prefectures of Greece please. Markussep 13:26, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the list of settlements contains Kalo Nero that linked to the article about Kalo Nero, Avlona, Messenia. I changed the link to Kalo Nero (Ilia) (that article does not exist) but now I started wondering whether there's at all such a place in the Prefecture of Ilia! At least I couldn't find any in http://www.statistics.gr/gr_tables/S1101_SAP_1_TB_DC_01_03_Y.pdf , maybe it indeed was incorrectly meaning Kalo Nero, Avlona, Messenia and should be removed? Enlighten me, if you can! Sivullinen (talk) 16:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now deleted the Kalo Nero entry in List_of_settlements_in_the_Ilia_prefecture for reasons stated above, backed by some 'off-line' discussion, and because it does not exist in the corresponding list of Greek Wikipedia. If you think differently, please give some justification (at least the municipality where it is located!). --Sivullinen (talk) 19:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of settlements in the Ilia prefecture, Kalo Nero? 

message: I've started cleaning up this article, removing a lot of vague and unencyclopedic material and repetitions. Some of the parts I removed were quite unclear to me: 
*it said that Elis/Ilia was formerly a department. What kind of administrative unit was that (in Greek)?
*at one point, it said that Ilia has 120 km of sandy beaches, at another it was 250-300 km. which number is correct? Markussep Talk 16:32, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: Moved to Elis. There is a reasonable proposal to reshuffle the material from this article, Ancient Elis, Medieval Elis into a WP:BROADCONCEPT article, as proposed by  TSventon, but this is out of the RM scope.  No such user (talk) 12:22, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Generally, primary topics should have more pageviews than all other topics combined, see WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.  Furthermore, there could easily be confusion between these topics, as they are related to the same area. 162 etc. (talk) 15:25, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

replies: text:  One advantage of that suggestion is that it might provide a better target for the current links to "Elis" from articles on medieval history (Principality of Achaea, Karytaina, William of Champlitte, Carlo I Tocco, Battle of Manolada, Centurione II Zaccaria), and generic references to the place name (List of Greek place names, Polish exonyms). – Fayenatic London 15:08, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Fayenatic, are you suggesting a new broad-concept article on the subject? I was thinking of adapting the regional unit article, e.g. by adding to the lead. TSventon (talk) 13:00, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:   TSventon That will probably suffice. I have now created a redirect to the History section, Medieval Elis, and used it in several articles. I also added some more meanings to the dab page. Most links to "Elis" can be disambiguated; I think only the generic references to the place name will be left. – Fayenatic London 21:54, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
