Is this information correct???

I know it is from Britannica, but I just visited Idalion (sic) and the information I have is that it dates from considerably earlier than this. See

http://www.assyriatimes.com/engine/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3084

for the 2005 results. The Dorling Kindersley guide to Cyprus also has some information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 51kwad (talk • contribs) 12:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Idalion?

I reversed the order (Greek first) in the lede, and all the sources we quote or cite use "Idalion". I presume "Idalium" is the Latin version, but is there any reason for the article to be named that? Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 20:47, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it should be moved to Idalion, over the redirect. Maybe when I'm feeling less lazy. :-) Ploversegg (talk) 16:25, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ohnefalsch-Richter

"The first to attempt to make a coherent history from finds at Dhali was Max Ohnefalsch-Richter, a journalist and self taught archaeologist who later became Director of Antiquities. Ohnefalsch-Richter dug at the site of ancient Idalion in 1883 and 1885, and returned to the area numerous times in subsequent years." in P. Gaber ,"The History of History: Excavations at Idalion and the Changing History of a City-Kingdom", NEA Vol.71, Nos. 1&2, pp. 51–63, 2008 Just FYI :-) Ploversegg (talk) 15:41, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
