Slavic
Some DNA studies claim that around a third of ancestors of modern Greeks were Slavs. --95.24.79.170 (talk) 05:26, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
Greeks or Hellenes
Greeks and Hellenes are not same nation. Name "Greece" is not true, too. They are not saying "Greece"; they are saying "Hellas". You are saying "Greece", this is false. We are saying "Yunanistan", this is true. Muallim Fatih (talk) 09:28, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
Article review
It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:
- There are lots of uncited statements, including entire paragraphs.
- The "History" section stops in the 1800s. Is there any additional information to add from the article from the 1900s or 2000s? Any information that should be added about post-WWII migration?
- The "Demographics" section doesn't have post-2008 information, so this section probably needs to be updated.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 17:30, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Doric invasion
Is mentioned under ‘Histor’ > ‘Origins’ as something that unquestionably occurred, and then a couple of paragraphs later dismissed as a former archaeological fad. I do not know the current consensus to fix it myself. ~2026-86312-1 (talk) 13:50, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
