Talk:Kapodistrias Museum

Untitled
This article is placing the museum out of the city of Corfu. The official site of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Tourism places it at 120 Capodistriou Str. The official site of the municipality of Corfu also places it in the same area. This is an article about the Kapodistrias residence in Koukouritsa. It talks about where the museum should be, not where it is. Also some of the links within the reference section are not working. The question that is important for this article is whether the museum is indeed in Capodistriou Str today. The article is writen like a debate and should normally have a maintenance template on it. In the history I see some maintenance template that was removed without discussion. Hoverfish Talk 23:30, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Please do not use bold to communicate. I find it loud and unnecessarily distracting. If you look at the contributions of the IP which put the maintenance template in the article you will see it was a part of revenge edit-warring drive-by tagging many of the articles I created by <!redacted for privacy> sometime ago in retaliation of my tagging the Onassis article. He got blocked for that. So it was not good-faith tagging and that is why it got reverted without discussion. No need for loud bolding this time. I guess my edit summary was not clear enough to communicate why I reverted the tagging. If you think that the article sounds like a debate, whatever that means, then please provide a few examples where it sounds like a debate and then we will try to fix it or tag it. Won't we? Thanks.

Sorry for the bold. I got caught between contradicting information and have spent several hours trying to decide what the current situation is. I am still not sure, but surely this is not your fault. I am also not sure about the debate. It's all sourced, so I guess the debate is a fact we are describing here and not part of the writing style. Culture, politics and business are a strange and inevitably frustrating mixture. Hoverfish Talk 00:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. No problem. Your contributions here are appreciated. I just fixed a few broken links through the Internet archive thanks to your comments. If you have any further ideas please let me know. Take care. Dr.K.πraxisλogos 00:53, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

A call to 120 Capodistriou ended my quest as to whether it too is a museum. It is not. DigitalCorfu has it as "Kapodistrian House" (I can't make out the writing on the plates), but the building only houses the Reading Society  as I reaffirmed by calling. Google earth has the Evropouli area covered by a dense cloud, which is probably why wikimapia hasn't placed any landmarks there. Yet if one goes to 39.62311°N, 19.86908°W and rolls the history function back to the May 2003 version, the cloud disappears, the view is quite detailed and I think that we have the mansion right there, or very close to it. It seems to fill all the descriptions of Kathimerini, but since I am not 100% sure, I leave the geo tag here for the time being. Great research work you did, by the way. Congratulations.

 * Thank you very much for your kind comments.I can reciprocate by congratulating you on your excellent work researching the geolocation of the museum. It was great work. I think we should go with your Evropouloi coordinates. All the right metrics are there. Bye for now. Dr.K.πraxisλogos 14:41, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I saw you already changed it. Great job. Take care. Dr.K.πraxisλogos 18:52, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
