Damage

Hello all

I have moved the section on the damage to the Parthenon and other buildings during the Greek war of independence to the article on the Parthenon. Given that this was after Elgin removed the marbles it isn't very relevant to the Elgin Marbles which is the focus of this article.

I have also moved the section on damage to the Parthenon in the 20th and 21st century to the article on the Parthenon for the same reason. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 06:48, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The return of Parthenon Sculptures?

Wikipedia isn't a discussion forum. It's also not a crystal ball—if they get returned, we'll write about it. Remsense ‥ 论 12:19, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
