Anyone have a list of Byzantine to Post-Byzantines rulers of Ioannina?

Omicron, the last Greek letter? What other simple fact-checking blunders exist in this article?
- Thanks for mentioning this. I intend to remove it along with some other changes. This article needs quite a few corrections... (Aggelos Orfanakos | Talk | Contributions) July 6, 2005 00:00 (UTC)
If the city was founded in the sixth century AD by Justinian how did it get its name in 51 AD?Padem 08:33, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- It must be a typo. The earliest reference to Ioannina dates back to 510 AD, although that does not mean that the town was founded in that year.TheArchon 18:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
===>Only the official language names.Do not add other languages names.
The link to the source of the population statistics seems to be dead. 70.48.156.233 01:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alt. names
If we have the Greek names at the top of the İznik, Edirne, Bursa, İzmir, Trabzon, Kırklareli, Sinop, Mersin, Bergama, Bodrum, Muğla, Kastamonu, Eskişehir, and Konya articles, I see no reason why we should make an exception for Ioannina. This is common practice on Wikipedia. Khoikhoi 06:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- I put a link to the other names of Ioannina in the very beginning of the article and you come back reverting what I edit making idiotic comparisons with the names of (currently) Turkish places, (that is, the plain transliterations of their original Greek names). You're ridiculous. Sshadow 07:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

- If Ioannina had even some of the characteristics the places in Anatolia mentioned above have, i wouldn't mind to see the Turkish name in the top of this article. If it is just because a number of muslims lived in the city till 1923, do i have to remind that most of them spoke Greek? in addition, if the name in turkish is to be added just because the turks had conquered and ruled the city in the past, tell me so, so i can "spread", legitimately, the greek names as far as India, Sudan, Hungary and Portugal, and maybe also the UK, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka and Eritrea.

[edit] The Jews of Ioannina
The Jewish community of Ioannina is extremely important in the history of the Jewish Diaspora. It was one of the earliest Jewish colonies established outside the land of Judea/Israel ... dating as far back as the first or second centuries Before the Common Era (BCE).
This community is referred to as the Romaniot Jews, because in the early years of the Common Era these Jews attained full status as Roman citizens, a noteworthy achievement for any group of people outside Italy, let alone Jews living in Greece. The history of the Romaniot Jews was researched and document by Rae Dalven, PhD, of New York University. (Dr. Dalven, whose husband is a distant cousin of mine, is a descentant - as I am - of the Romaniot Jewish community). The majority of Jews in Greece were and are Sephardi Jews, i.e. refugees of the Spanish and Portugese Diaspora, which began in 1492. The Romaniot Jews, however, are a separate entity and avoided the Ladino speaking Sephardim. In fact, Ioannina had the second largest Jewish community in Greece - surpassed only by the Jewish community of Thessoloniki (Salonica)Buddmar 05:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)buddmar
