I'm not sure how this sentence should end (under Climate): "The Etesian winds that come from northwest India affect the island bringing". ripleyy 07:09, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The fall of Tinos (1715).

The last Venetian governor, Bernardo Balbi, surrendered to Turkish admiral Ianum Kogia on June 5, 1715 without effective resistance. Therefore the Republic of Venice sentenced Balbi to life imprisonment.

The sinking of the "Hellì" (1940).

In front of Tinos, on August 15, 1940, the Italian submarine "Delfino" sunk the Greek coastal cruiser "Hellì" more than 2 months before the declaration of war.

Tinos Island vs. Tinos Municipality

Most of this article seems to be about Tinos (the island), but there are a few numbers here, such as those in the Historical Population section and the Infobox, that refer to Tinos (the municipality). I think that we should distinguish between the two. There are, after all, two other municipalities/communities on the island: Exomvourgo and Panormos. Backspace 22:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since the latest reform of Greece's municipalities through the "Kapodistrias" scheme, there is currently only one municipality called "the Municipality of Tinos" that replaced the Municipality of Exomvourgo, the (former) Municipality of Tinos and the community of Panormos.

Windmills of Tinos

I recently updated the page stating that there were not 20 windmills in Tinos but at least 90. El Greco reverted this. My proof is that I've actually counted them all! I worked on a voluntary project several years ago to catalogue all the windmills of Tinos. Some are in a ruinous state no doubt, but they exist none the less. (many of the 1000 dovecots mentioned are also ruinous) It's not a huge issue but it should be pointed out that there was large scale milling operations in existence on Tinos, epecially during WWII, to feed the local populus.

Check out an ancient website that was created at the time as proof of the claims; www.geocities.com/tinoswindmills

Well according to the offical website, there are 80. Which I changed and referenced to that. Geocities doesn't seem reliable and I'm not sure if it meets WP:V. _{El Greco}^(talk) 18:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
