Factual Errors[edit]

Even before the rule of The Thirty, Athens did not universally extend the privilege to participate in governance (slaves and women were not enfranchised, for example). The city was ruled by 'politeia' which the scholar Alan Bloom likens to the Ancien Regime (Bloom 'The Republic of Plato', Second Edition (1991) p. 440). ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.89.204 (talk) 14:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Link Errors[edit]

Nearly all of the linked names are either to different people of the same name (eg Sophocles and Erastothenes), another is a family in rome, yet another redirects to a genus of butterfly. Not really sure right now how to redlink properly; I'll try to figure it out later. Theotherkg 03:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i changed the main page because it said that the Thirty had executed and exiled citizens who had collaborated with the Athenians during the Peloponnesian War . . . but of course that's silly, since it was talking about Athens and the Athenians themselves. you can't "collaborate" with your own city-state or nation-state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.119.154.10 (talk) 14:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Thirty Tyrants/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This article seems (as of 17:20 EDT Wednesday 09 July 2008) to satisfy only the 'Stub' quality standard. There are no references in the article (merely assertions), and some factual errors. There are no images. It also seems to suffer from a pro-democracy bias. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.89.204 (talk) 21:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious inconsistency[edit]

In the "aftermath" section it mentions the thirty, then two other groups of 11 and 10, with the 10 stated to be in Piraeus. However these groupings are again mentioned in the next section, but there it instead says it is the 11 who were in charge of Piraeus. One of these statements clearly must have gotten it mixed up.--68.92.95.94 (talk) 05:41, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
