Original work?

Is this original work? -- Zoe

Appears to be, I've googled a few phrases and this is the only page that came up. Paul Weaver 18:31 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Corn

This page links to the disambiguation page Corn, but I'm not sure which sense is intended. If you know, please fix it. Thank you. — Pekinensis 19:23, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it to Cereal. — Pekinensis 23:02, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kefallonia name

I think this article should be named "Kefallonia". That's the official transliteration. Reactions at Talk:Prefectures of Greece please. Markussep 13:26, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes

I found this article to be very badly structured, and remodelled it using the Corfu article. The major problem was the confusion whether it was just about the island of Kefalonia or about the Kefalonia and Ithaka Prefecture. There was also information in this article relating to Ithaka although that island has its on article. Therefore, I made the bold move of removing the prefecture infobox, replacing with a Greek island infobox, and setting up a new article for the prefecture. This will lead to less confusion in the future.

The page looks a bid muddled now, as all the photos are crammed into the top sections. I will try to modify this, as well as the terrible standard of English in the article, later.--Damac 11:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Land area of island

I'm not sure what the area of the island is, but it cannot be the same as that of Kefalonia and Ithaca Prefecture, since Ithaca and other islands (such as Arkoudi, Atokos, and Oxeia) are excluded. Backspace 17:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

is it not the right one 781 km² ? according to this ?

PHOTO is of...?

The topmost photo says it is a "panoramic view of Assos"...?? As far as I can tell, Assos is an Aegean location in Turkey... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.230.240.135 (talk) 18:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assos is/was a small fishing village on the coast of Kefalonia. I have personally taken a very similar photo to the one in the article, probably from almost the same spot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.158.114 (talk) 16:58, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New theory holds that Kefalonia was ancient Ithaca

Yet this Wiki article does not yet reflect this credible source.Ryoung122 03:53, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Population figures discrepancy

There is a discrepancy btween the mid-20th century population figure of approximately 10,000 given near the start of the page and the number of people fleeing the 1953 earthquake - said to be as many as 100,000 of the island's 125,000 population. There is clearly something amiss here...

Having viewed a contemporary Pathe news report which refers to 10,000 homeless I am inclined to believe the lower figure.
