Talk:Skopelos

message: Greetings - I am trying to add information to the Skopelos page for general knowledge of the island and its culture. My thinking is that this page should be for the person wanting to know something of the history and how the island actually is today and what events led the island to be the way it is. 
In my view specific comments regarding tourism (ie. how to get to the island, timetables, lodging and restaurant info) are better covered elsewhere on the internet and such information clutters the page.
The history component is one area that needs a lot of work. What was the effect of Philip of Macedonia's invasion? Is it important? Is it true?

message: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Using a wikipedia article to promote tourism for an entity seems to me to be misuse.
Please use language which reflects an objective view. There are other venues for the promotion of tourism.
Please cite sources if possible.
Using Wikipedia to promote politicians seems also to be misuse.
Instead of a photo of a mayor why not a photo of the subject of the article - Skopelos?
If the Mayor is important, shouldn't there be a separate wikipedia article/page on him?Skopelos-Slim 05:28, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the George Papandreou reference in the history section as awkward. Granted the history section can be expanded but I sense that the addition of modern Prime Ministers to the list might start to flavour things in ways not directly related to Skopelos. 
Maybe there is a way of stating the post-1944 information to allow a link to the wiki article on Greek Prime Ministers?
Perhaps there is a way to provide information on how decisions made at the National level have affected Skopelos.
It is clear that Greek Law No. 2939 (management of packaging waste - 6 August 2001) has had no effect at all in Skopelos. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Skopelos-slim (talk • contribs) 08:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there more information out there about what this Decree means? It would be helpful in understanding how and why it relates to Skopelos. Skopelos-Slim 05:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Traditional Settlement of Outstanding Beauty (19/10/1978 Presidential Decree 594,13-11/78)" 

message: I am seeking information for the Skopelos article on the following subjects:
Provisions for alternative energy in new construction ( are there incentives through the Greek State or EU for installing solar collectors, for example).
Energy consumption figures current and projected - specifically electricity.
Figures for the sewage plant under construction - predicted use volume etc. How many dwellings will be connected to the system. Construction budget?
According to the Ministry of the Interior "environmental protection" is one of the responsibilities of the Mayor's council. Does anyone have a clue what this means?

message: There seems to be confusion as to the target date for the sewage treatment plant being operational - somebody said March 2008 but a recent addition says 2-3 years. Can somebody clear this up?  Also, it was stated that sewerage from Agnondas is no longer goes into the sea - since the treatment plant is not operational yet, what is the process there- perhaps a leech field?Skopelos-Slim 06:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Water resources 

message: Its nice to know about how the mayor is elected and what his responsibilities are, but only if this is specific to Skopelos. Otherwise I suggest moving this information to a page called something like, Local Government on Greek Islands. I don't know if the information is specific or not, but it doesn't say that it is. 
Does anyone want to expand on the Matrilineal aspect of the island's culture, this seems interesting and specific to Skopelos.Banja star (talk) 13:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
