Talk:Egyptian Greeks

message: It is mentioned in the article that there were about 25,000 Greeks in Egypt in 1940 (although I'm not sure where's the source for that). 
Now, I watched this documentary which claims a number of about 200,000 for the early to mid-20th century (twice: 1st time after about 7:10, 2nd time after about 40:40, furthermore in the accompanying text below the video).
http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/aljazeeraworld/2012/04/20124212646347121.html
I thought at first, this might be due to the difference between Greek nationals and persons of Greek descent but it seems from the video that at least under Nasser all Greeks were treated as foreigners (i.e. non-nationals?).
Would that AlJazeera documentary suffice as a reference? --Ubel (talk) 22:20, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Historical demographics

message: Wikipedia articles for certain historic minorities (such as the [of Poland] or the [people of India] tend to reflect their historic significance. Can this article do the same? It would be more specifically representative of the situation of the Egyptian Greeks, and would ensure a cohesiveness between articles of historic diaspora communities that are no longer as prominent.

thread_title: Adrift in the city

message: This section seems to stray somewhat off-topic. While, for instance, Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha was very important and of Greek origin, he did not come from Egypt and I know of nothing significant in his career that relates directly to Egypt. And I think the same goes for several others mentioned in this section as well. PWilkinson (talk) 19:03, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi @Aearthrise, I just wanted to clarify a few things in order to make myself understood. First, I didn't have any intention to edit-war with you, in fact, I see that you are an experienced and serious editor. Now in regards to the faiyum portraits, as you know, there are literally numerous of those that have been found in Egypt and, though they come from the Hellenistic period, it would be virtually impossible to identify all of them as Greeks. In fact, as we read in the article itself, most of them are believed to have been Egyptians. The Greek names and script on these portraits (direct evidence of the influence of Greek settlers in Egypt) is reason why they appear more relevant in this specific article. When out of the many unidentified portraits, some bear Greeks names and inscriptions, it automatically becomes a lot more likely that those individuals could have had some Greek ancestry, and thus the images themselves a lot more relevant in an article for "Egyptian Greeks".
