Comments

Psara is not an Ionian island: The Ionian islands are the group of Greek islands between Greece and Italy (Kerkyra, Kefalonia, Ithaki, etc.). Psara is in the Aegean Sea and the island of Hios lies between it and the coast of Asia Minor, which was called Ionia. Kanaris was also called "Bourlotieris", which essentially means "dynamiter", in honor of his exploits with fireships.

I doubt the veracity of the exact number 2000 in The Ottoman casualties consisted of 2000 men, both naval officers and common sailors...' - 2000 is an exccedingly high number of people even for a large ship of the line (1000 is more likely). If nobody has better data, I'd suggest to add allegedly before consisted. --Stephan Schulz 17:14, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Could have been several adjacent ships affected. I don't know in this case, but explosions of this type are pretty serious for all in the vicinity. Stan 23:06, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I checked some other sources. It looks like the ship had some 2200 greek prisoners on board. Maybe total causalties were 2000. Given the uncertainty, maybe we should change the original phrase to "...The explosion killed most of the crew and a large number of prisoners kept on board..." or something similar.--Stephan Schulz 23:48, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Final paragraph about various ships named after Kanaris

I tried to clean up that paragraph, but it was difficult. It was a huge run-on sentence that didn't make any sense. I tried to get references so that I could clarify it, but it was very difficult. If anyone wants to take a stab at making it clearer, please do so. OrangeMarlin 17:18, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citations needed

I believe there are some citations needed for at least the following two things:

1)The claim that Filiki Eteria (The Friendly Society) was founded by Freemasons

2)The part about Wilhelm Canaris (not being related to Canaris). Katsaplias for ever 09:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait

The color portrait at the top resembles the one in black and white at the bottom. I would suggest deleting the one on the bottom. Student7 (talk) 15:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The last one is NOT painting, it IS photograph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.140.42.130 (talk) 18:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
