Merge

Kaminia (Piraeus), Greece should be merged into the main article on the city. It doesn't seem to be notable on its own. Eluchil404 21:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The page has been edited accordingly. I believe the page should now be merged into Piraeus with its own subcategory. Thank You.

Piraeus is noteable on its own because of its significance for classical and literary study, (particularly the long poem by H.D. titled "Toward the Piraeus)

It is also mentioned in Plato's Republic in the opening lines of Book I "I went down yesterday to the Piraeus with Glaucon the son of Ariston"

It appears the article, Kaminia, should be rewritten without the personalization of the remarks and included in this article on Piraeus with its own subheading, since it is an alleged neighborhood of Piraeus. See my remarks in Discussion under Kaminia... Stevenmitchell 12:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the article about Kaminia shouldn't be added unless the articles about Nikeai, keratsini etc are added as well. I mean Kaminia is a seperate perfectory, isn;t it? Thank you D.

I suggest the Kaminia Page be merged with this one, and we'll figure out what to do with it then. It's nothing but a neighbourhood of Pireas. El Greco 23:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Kaminia being merged. It's not a city of its own, its a Piraeus neighborhood - kompikos 14:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've merged Kaminia into a new section called Neighbourhoods. I suppose it should be completed with more than Kaminia :) By the way, it's true that the Kaminia stuff seems much more an advertisement article than anything else. Can some people from Piraeus contrast the information appearing? Tranchis 14:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOL contrast what exactly here? The freshness of the Koutsothanasis bakery's breads? The popularity of the BASS JUNKIES by SIMONIDIS car audio team? The exclusivity in fathering "magges" (= ~dudes, fellas, tough-guys etc)? Well, tough job to decide about this merge... :-) Niko Silver 14:10, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I was suspecting... Guess why the merge was not ever done. Tranchis 14:17, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this is indeed more of an advertisement than an encyclopedic entry. First of all, Kaminia is not beautiful. Second, most of Piraeus' people are Olympiacos fans and some neighbourhoods are actually closer to the stadium so that point is moot. Finally, I don't think the Gate 7 incident applies to Kaminia specifically and, if anything, it should be a separate article. My opinion: Completely remove the Kaminia section and use the Neighbourhoods section to list all neighbourhoods in Piraeus (or if anyone could draw a map of Peiraeus' neighbourhoods)

transliterations

I believe the transliterations for ancient/katharevousa and modern greek are messed up... can someone find out? Teentje 20:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greater Piraeus

I think that the area (50.4 km2) and the population (466,065) of greater Piraeus should be added in the infobox.

Correction

The picture referred as "Athens metro station in Pireas" is incorrect. It actually shows the Athens urban railway station of Pireas —Preceding unsigned comment added by Njordin (talk • contribs) 13:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Piraeus

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Piraeus's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "population":

From France: (in French) INSEE, Government of France. "Bilan démographique 2010". Retrieved 20 January 2011. {{cite web}}: Check |first= value (help)
From Romania: "Romanian Statistical Yearbook" (PDF). Romanian National Institute of Statistics. 2007. Retrieved 2008-01-20.
From Varna: (in English) „WorldCityPopulation“

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 04:46, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greek shipping and the recent history of the port of Piraeus

Psaropoulos, John (30 March 2021). "Suez crisis creates winners and losers in the global supply chain". www.aljazeera.com. Retrieved 18 April 2021.

Looks like a good source to expand on activity at the port in the last decade. Feel free to do so if you have time before I do. I also ask, is there a separate article about the port itself (if so, it doesn't appear to be linked from here)? If not, that might be a decent idea. Cheers, 02:40, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Piraeus sifting to Athens

Piraeus is by no means a part of Athens, it's actually connected to Athens by the Athens - Pireaus urban area. Therefore any reference of pireaus being a part of Athens must be deleted (I. e it's located in the Athens riviera) 79.131.60.169 (talk) 18:28, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The name of Piraeus in Greek

It seems Piraeus is normally spelt as Πειραιάς in Greek, but I have also seen the spelling Πειραιώς, such as in the name of Piraeus Bank which is spelt as Τράπεζα Πειραιώς in Greek. In addition, Google Translator also translates Πειραιώς to Piraeus. Does anyone know the difference between Πειραιάς and Πειραιώς? --Roland (talk) 19:33, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
