..."it takes its name from Poseidon's wife, the nymph Syme" Not identifiable. We need a citation if this is to stay. --Wetman 04:57, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Throughout the article the name is rendered as "Simi". This was the spelling at the time of Italian Occupation (1912 - 1947) the accepted modern translation from the Greek is "Symi".

The main town of Symi is split into two distinct communities. The Harbour, known as "Gialos" (or "Yialos") and the Village known as "Chorio" Other centres of population are Pedi and Nimborio —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.195.35.180 (talk • contribs) 13:55, 19 September 2006.

I've now fixed the spelling. —Khoikhoi 01:19, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Monuments The article states "There are two monuments at the main port that date back to the "Classical era" However it does not tell us what these monuments are and where they are to be found and is therefore of little value. The only two monuments I am aware of in Symi's "Port" (which I take to mean Gialos Harbour) are the War Memorial whch stands in front of a carved depiction of a greek trireme and the the Clock Tower. Neither of these stem from Classical times however. If these are the momuments being refered to I would be happy to conribute a more detailed description of them Harani66 11:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
