Incorrect population estimations.

The Second source ( Clogg 2013) as to the number of Greeks worldwide is unreliable, and within its composition states that the information it lists is unreliable. In addition, the figures for individual nations are erroneous and exaggerated, often different from what the source placed beside them posits.

I am not sure why Authors are trying to bloat the number of extant Greeks, but even if by only a few million, the inaccuracy erodes the trustworthiness of Misplaced Pages as a source of reliable information.

Population estimations should be garnered from Greek government sources, Hellenic organizations and the CIA world factbook.

Revert of the etymology information

@Demetrios: I should note here that the comment in your revert of my edit adding the etymology of the English name to this article is not really valid. ‘Names’ section mentions the word ‘Greeks’ in some of its writing, but centres around endonyms, not exonyms, which is what ‘Etymology’ section was supposed to fix about the article. I don’t think that this information should be 1) so hidden away in this article, 2) inaccessible to readers. You could’ve tried merging two sections if you thought that this was clearly unacceptable. stjn 00:03, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Apologies to Demetrios, meant to ping @Demetrios1993. stjn 00:04, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
