Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: pages moved per amended proposal. Aervanath (talk) 00:15, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

– After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Greece, it has been decided to translate the administrative unit περιφέρειεα with "region" instead of "periphery". The two regions "Central Greece" and "Epirus" are ambiguous with larger traditional geographic areas. Markussep ^Talk 14:19, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Acceptable, but I would prefer the simple names for the traditional geographic areas, not their recent approximations. Therefore, while the proposal for West Greece can stand, I would prefer:

Central Greece Periphery → Central Greece (region)
Epirus (periphery) → Epirus (region)
Epirus (region) → Epirus
Epirus → Epirus (disambiguation).

Central Greece can also stay where it is.

Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:39, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's acceptable for me as well. Markussep ^Talk 16:02, 29 October 2011 (UTC) For the closing admin: I support PMAnderson's modification of my proposal, which is the following moves:[reply]

Central Greece Periphery → Central Greece (region)
Epirus (periphery) → Epirus (region)
Epirus (region) → Epirus
Epirus → Epirus (disambiguation).
West Greece Periphery → West Greece

I support User:Pmanderson's proposal with "the simple names for the traditional geographic areas" per WP:TWODABS. — AjaxSmack 05:13, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mountainous

The region is one of the most mountainous in Greece.

Half of this is the Boeotian plain; more mountainous than Thessaly, or Macedonia, or Arcadia? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:47, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Arcadia is not a region (as in perifereia), and the Boeotian plain is only a small part of this region. Evrytania and Phocis are virtually completely mountainous, so this statement might be true. Thessaly and the three Macedonian regions have large plains as well. Other candidates for "most mountainous region" might be Epirus and Peloponnese.
