Talk:Pompei

Merge with Pompeii
Most of this page is about the history of the Roman city before the eruption, and this is overlapping with the Pompeii page. There does not seem very much to tell about the modern city. I think these articles should be merged, or at least all the Roman history should be moved there. Andreas Kaganov 14:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree, or at least the pre-eruption material should be moved to Pompeii, trimming this article down to just describing the modern city (while still noting that it used to be Pompeii, of course). I'd be fine with having two articles, one for each time period, as long as they're clearly differentiated. For example, we have separate articles for Istanbul, Constantinople, and Byzantium, even though they're just different stages of evolution of the same city. -kotra (talk) 21:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Strongly disagree with Andreas Kaganov on the merge, Pompei with one "i" is the modern day administrative city entity; it has articles in seven different languages. Pompeii note the two i's, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritige Site isr talk:Gennarous|talk]]) 06:56, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

If the current article is really about the modern city, then shouldn't all the spellings reflect that? I see many double-i spellings that are not referring to the ancient city. I'm going to be bold and fix it, but if anyone objects, please make the changes you feel necessary. Thanks! WesT (talk) 16:24, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Turns out the only misspelling was in the Info Box. Easy fix. WesT (talk) 16:28, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Population Graph
The population over time graph is difficult to read and is formatted strangely on the page. Someone more experienced than I should fix this TreboniusArtorius (talk) 02:25, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
