Corinth
Self-nom.What do you think?--Astavrou 22:41, 23 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Object I don't want to come off sounding as mean, but do you have a list of sources used? Also, some of the prose could use a little bit of work (it's used incorrectly in place of its, and I'm also not sure about "the original isthmus" in the lead section). There's also a bit of repetitiveness regarding the namings of the ports that were available on the isthmus: compare "The city of Corinth historically had access to two ports. Lechaion lay to the west on the Gulf of Corinth and the port of Kenchreai lay to the east on the Saronic Gulf," at the end of the final lead paragraph to "The city had two main ports, one in the Corinthian Gulf and one in the Saronic Gulf, serving the trade routes of the western and eastern Mediterranean, respectively. In the Corinthian Gulf lied Lechaion, which connected the city to it's [sic] western colonies (Greek: apoikoiai) and Magna Graecia, while in the Saronic Gulf the port of Kenchreai served the ships coming from Athens, Ionia, Cyprus and the rest of the Levant. Both ports had docks for the large war fleet of the city-state," in the History section. --JohnDBuell | Talk 23:45, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. 1)Lacks references. 2)The history section is somewhat thin.  It should be broken into subsections (city founding, Hellenic period, Hellenistic/Roman period, ...) and expanded. 3)More information is needed on modern-day Corinth such as population and demographics, current political structure, local cultural/tourism/sports activities, and institutes of higher education.  Basically a good start that still has a ways to go before it is to FA standards. --Allen3 talk 23:49, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
