[edit] Milos Archipelago

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)

I really hate this Google count, but I use it nevertheless. Milos Archipelago is mentioned just seven times in the web - it is not any particularly popular expression. Put it in if you like it.--FocalPoint 08:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Athenian genocide

This is mentioned without further explanation, so use of it as a means of dating the use of Malos really doesn't work. Jim 02:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

The comment is valid. I added the date. Please note, however, that the Athenian genocide is mentioned in the text. In Milos#History the following text is written:

"in 415 BC the Athenians, having attacked the island and compelled the Milians to surrender, slew all the men capable of bearing arms, made slaves of the women and children"

This is the genocide which was performed by the Athenians.--FocalPoint 17:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Jim. Historians don't call this a genocide. It doens't fit either legal or general description used by historians. It was a war depredation or massacre of the fighting population. Dafen hf 06:35, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What commune?

what commune are they talking about? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.110.221.22 (talk) 07:11, 15 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] External Link

Hi Editors! Fascinated by Milos, I find it deserves to be vitalized in a presentable travel story, with mining as a general angle. So I would like to suggest this External Link:

  • "Milos Means Mining" Terje Raa turns the island of colours into a travel story spiced with metals and minerals

It's a spam link WP:SPAM El Greco(talk) 13:00, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Now that the spam talk stopped, I'd like to send a reminder to the Milos Editors. It's the same link, but in a slightly different design:

There is nothing commercial in this for me, so you can gladly insert my link if you like. Scribbleman 17:25, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

It's a travel guide. WP:SPAM El Greco(talk) 20:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

People,I am from Milos.I made some changes and I just noticed that someone changed it back.Well,I have read a book about Milos' population over the years and I assure you all that the island's population was never 17.000!!I think the maximum was 6.000 or something like that.So..Because I am from Milos,I have a ton of books about it and, one of this days, I will write a very interesting wiki article about it so..Please,don't change that too..I am not somebody who wants to confuse people,I just want everybody to learn right things about Milos!
