Demographics

There seems to be confusion here. One would expect that a town in Macedonia (Greece) would have a Greek population, no reason to mention this. Note that Macedonians (Greek) are Greeks and not the same as Macedonians (ethnic group) who are Slavs. It is clear that before 1913 there was a large Slavic population, but this does not necessarily reflect the present situation that has changed due to emigration and assimilation. It is true that numbers are hard to obtain, but it is indispensable that sources are cited regarding the existence and extent of the various ethnic groups. Andreas ^(T) 18:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

There are sufficient sources to safely assert that before the region was attached to Greece the majority of the population was Slavic and Albanian. --Sulmues ^(talk) 19:52, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Using a source from 1920 for demographics info for 1920 is like using a source from 1500 AD for demographics for 1500 AD, or using a source from 500 BC for 500 BC. In other words, WP:PRIMARY. Besides Kastoria is landlocked, so I don't see how the US Navy would have personnel there. Out is goes. And Sulmues, a warning: I noticed you are gaming WP:3RR a lot lately. In other words, you consistently perform 3 quick reverts in an article, then stop. 3RR is not an entitlement, and consistently making 3 reverts in an article is gaming the system. If this behavior continues, e.g. here, I will file an AE report. Athenean (talk) 20:02, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Right now you have made a revert and I have made a partial revert to your removing of a valid reference. If you have a problem with that reference, bring it to WP:RS. --Sulmues ^(talk) 20:04, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
