== Revert of the etymology information ==

@]: I should note here that 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 ], 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. ] 00:03, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
:Apologies to Demetrios, meant to ping @]. ] 00:04, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
::{{ping|Stjn}} In my edit summary i wrote that {{alink|Names}} "should definitely be rephrased or expanded with more information from ]", and that "the same section could also include information on the etymology of some important ethnonyms." I didn't say that your contribution was unacceptable; in fact, you can go ahead and reinstate it with a {{s|third}} ] under {{alink|Names}}, and also move the whole section further up if you deem it necessary. I only removed it because we already had a relevant section, and i thought it would be better for it to be considerably revised; including information about etymology, as well as variants that stem from ], and medieval endonyms such as ]. ] (]) 02:57, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
:::I think that the "Names" subsection already fits well into the "Identity" section. I agree with Demetrios that there could be an expansion of "Names" and I think the etymology that was added by @] would in fact be fitting and helpful there. ] (]) 21:53, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
