Talk:Milos

message: What about the Milos Archipelago? I believe this refers to the island of Milos and those around it. If so, it might be interesting to add a note about it somewhere in this article, as well as a redirect for it. --Jwinius 23:53, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Milos Archipelago

message: I would like to ask if it's not worth mentioning this figure from history of Melos which seems to be quite important in connection with Greek freedom during times under Turkish rule. A very little information can be found here http://www.cruiserlog.com/wiki/index.php?title=Milos .
So I would like some more informed person to consider mentioning this pirate/king of this Island in article.
thanks.

message: what commune are they talking about? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.110.221.22 (talk) 07:11, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The municipality of Mílos ("commune" is another word for "municipality" as a unit of local administration). I have, incidentally, removed the sentence Today's population, about 4700, is considerably less than it was in 1907 (then 4,864 in the commune, 12,774 in the province) which presumably provoked this question, since a current municipal population (2001 census) of 4,771 is amazingly similar to that of almost 100 years earlier, not "considerably less". -- Picapica (talk) 10:06, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

message: It is stated that there are about 70 beaches. The longest is singled out, and we then proceed to list what is described as "the rest of" the beaches, suggesting that we're going to name all 70 of them, but I count only 45 more. If we're not going to name all, we shouldn't say "the rest of" them.
I would fix the wording, but I really have no knowledge of what is being presented. Are there, in fact, 70 beaches, and are they all named? Maybe the 45 listed are the ones that have names?--Mfwills (talk) 14:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I noticed the Turkish name of the island is missing. Degirmenlik. Were there prominant wind mills on the island? An oversight I am sure! In fact, a whole 500 years of its history is also missing. Maybe someone more informed can fill this in.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.77.155.172 (talk) 18:20, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
