This page seems to get hit with a heck of a lot of vandalism. Is there any particular reason why? -Joshuapaquin 16:44, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Good question. No sources, either. -Rich

    • Probably because many people have been there, are planning to go there, or are studying it in school, which would heighten the article's visitation beyond most Wikipedia entries. Stevenmitchell (talk) 15:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


The Church? Monotheists? Those who don't believe in the gods? Or people who just plain hate Athens? -Elysium —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.118.180.219 (talk) 08:37, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

There's a picture with this underneath "The Acropolis and the Propylaea in a 1846 painting by Leo von Klenze." Should that be a 1846 or an 1846???

[edit] Early human occupation - The Bronze Age

As much as I like Athens, why is there an entirely speculative article on occupation of the Acropolis during the Bronze Age. If there is no archaeological, textual or epigraphical evidence this entire entry is pure conjecture by the Wikipedian author (85.76.123.252, July 17,2005). This section should include stronger language denoting its speculative content and would have to provide a source pertaining to the supposed speculation, in order to remotely qualify it as viable encyclopaedic content - otherwise it is simply speculative opinion by the author.

[edit] Bad link?

The link under the "Cultural Significance" header refering to the Panathenaia festival does not link directly to the festival, but to a game like the Olympic games that are a part of the festival. Should we fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.76.184 (talk) 19:18, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Todays featured photo "Parthenon from south" should be included in the article, becouse it's beautiful and relevant.

The headline says it all. Andy McDandy (talk) 10:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
