Problem with the Map

[edit]

The map depicts the seven islands in yellow however there are also islands like naxos in the yello colour. I suggest the map to be removed untill we have something better.


The Ionian Islands
The map at right (Image:Ionian Islands.svg|thumb|275px|The Ionian Islands), which occurs in the article Ionian islands shows only the 7 islands, but has the disadvantage of showing modern boundaries, rather than the contemporary Ottoman boundaries of the existing map.
It does not seem that the yellow coloring of the Aegean Islands on the extant historical map accurately signifies anything, as the other articles on Greek history imply (although do not explicitly state) that these Aegean Islands were firmly under the control of the Ottoman Empire during the existence of the Septinsular Republic, although Naxos -- according to its article -- appears to have revolted successfully in 1821. jchristopher 04:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ottoman Turkish name?

[edit]

The Ottoman Turkish name in the infobox and the one in the intro text are different. Anyone want to work on that? —  AjaxSmack  15:14, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OS/NS dates

[edit]

Some of the dates in this article are given in both Old Style and New Style, but many of them are not, and in those cases it's unclear which style of date it is. There are a lot of dates in the article so I don't know if someone wants to convert every single one of them, or just leave an explanatory note along the lines of "All dates in this article unless otherwise specified are [Old | New] style, see Gregorian calendar#Difference between Gregorian and Julian calendar dates to convert to [New | Old] Style." I would opt for the latter myself (being lazy), but I don't know which style is in use here. howcheng {chat} 17:14, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
