The Notable People section includes several people who have never lived on the island. For some reason, someone added several people whose only connection to the island is through ancestry, including a few with very distant Cephalonian ancestry; and this author was even explicit with several of these, stating the person is "of Cephalonian origin". This section should only list people that have actually lived on the island at some point in their lives; not people of "Cephalonian origin" who have never lived there.

This page links to the disambiguation page Corn, but I'm not sure which sense is intended. If you know, please fix it. Thank you. — Pekinensis 19:23, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

I think this article should be named "Kefallonia". That's the official transliteration. Reactions at Talk:Prefectures of Greece please. Markussep 13:26, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
I found this article to be very badly structured, and remodelled it using the Corfu article. The major problem was the confusion whether it was just about the island of Kefalonia or about the Kefalonia and Ithaka Prefecture. There was also information in this article relating to Ithaka although that island has its on article. Therefore, I made the bold move of removing the prefecture infobox, replacing with a Greek island infobox, and setting up a new article for the prefecture. This will lead to less confusion in the future.
The page looks a bid muddled now, as all the photos are crammed into the top sections. I will try to modify this, as well as the terrible standard of English in the article, later.-- Damac 11:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the area of the island is, but it cannot be the same as that of Kefalonia and Ithaca Prefecture, since Ithaca and other islands (such as Arkoudi, Atokos, and Oxeia) are excluded. Backspace 17:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
is it not the right one 781 km2 ? according to this ?

The topmost photo says it is a "panoramic view of Assos"...?? As far as I can tell, Assos is an Aegean location in Turkey... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.230.240.135 ( talk) 18:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Assos is/was a small fishing village on the coast of Kefalonia. I have personally taken a very similar photo to the one in the article, probably from almost the same spot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.158.114 ( talk) 16:58, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

There is a discrepancy btween the mid-20th century population figure of approximately 10,000 given near the start of the page and the number of people fleeing the 1953 earthquake - said to be as many as 100,000 of the island's 125,000 population. There is clearly something amiss here...
Having viewed a contemporary Pathe news report which refers to 10,000 homeless I am inclined to believe the lower figure.

I would suggest a change to "Kefalonia", as it is the most common name today, the others are more historic.-- 2003:E8:DBC8:FC9A:DDEE:8888:84AF:7210 ( talk) 08:55, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
Following this move, I've changed a lot of other instances of the other spelling, but I'm certain there are ones that I've missed.

Cephalonia is an island, and also a regional unit. When you indicate the size, it is worth mention that the island has a size of 773 sqkm. if you talk about the regional unit, then it includes several of the echinades islands, and also some offshore islands near Cephalonia itself. in Total, it has 786 sqkm. the point is, we must decide what are the statistics we want to use: the regional unit, or the single island. thanks, Ofir
Because all the information is on the official greek islands website. We just have to decide to which parameter are we considering: a single island, or a regional unit (10 islands). Thats why. HonorTheIsland ( talk) 15:32, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
This table of island is utterly unreliable. It is plain nonsense to assign a capital and "other cities" to uninhabited island. With no people living there, these simple can not exist. The Banner talk 19:23, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
