Talk:Aeolian Islands

Untitled

The "castello" in Lipari is actually called the "cittadella".

There is a lot of important information missing from the entry. Stromboli, besides the Etna and Iceland, is the only active vulcano in Europe. You have Vulcano which is semi-active and where the Greek god Vulcan was believed to live. Saline where Eolo the Greek god of wind was believed to live. When in high school I published a lengthy article on the ancient history of the islands. Not sure the creators of this website would be interested in it.

FYI, this article used to have a large chunk of text relating the history of a volcanic island that emerged from the sea called Julia. I removed the text from this article because it clearly wasn't in the Aeolian Islands. The actual article that the text refers to can be found at Ferdinandea. --NormanEinstein 22:26, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Sourcing

This article lacks sourcing and reads like a tourist brochure. 71.8.193.122 (talk) 04:26, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I would question the statement in the caption for the photo, which states that the island Panarea is visible to the right of Lipari. Panarea is considerably farther away than Salina, which is (correctly) stated to be visible to the left of Lipari. The land which may be supposed to be a separate island to the right of Lipari is, in my opinion, just the mountain M. Rosa on Lipari. The photo must have been taken from the west side of Vulcano, and therefore M. Guardia on the southern part of Lipari hides the land between itself and M. Rosa, making the latter look detached from the island. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.96.173.183 (talk) 21:52, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

which Frederick II?

You mention Frederick II, Duke of Swabia in 1208 but he died in 1147. You must mean Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, unless your date at 1208 is wrong (?). Please confirm or fix,TonyMath (talk) 13:31, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

7 or 8?

quote from section "History": "During World War II, all seven of the Aeolian Islands were under Allied control by August 1943." ?Wikirictor (talk) 02:04, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Good question! I'm sure it was all eight, but the 1943 newspaper source says seven: "Fall of volcanic Lipari and Stromboli Tuesday put all seven of the Aeolian Islands in Allied possession, headquarters announced Friday." There's probably a better source on the Aeolian Islands during WWII that would clarify?Penny Richards (talk) 02:34, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Taking out the word "seven" for now, less precise but also less confusing.Penny Richards (talk) 02:35, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
