Talk:Edirne

message: The city was in Byzantine or Roman hands for probably a millennia, yet there's not even a mention of it aside from Hadrian establishing it. Something is wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.249.64.182 (talk) 21:42, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title: Byzantine Adrianople

message: I've added an  tag to this section. The section is based on the Catholic Encyclopedia published in 1913 and needs both cleanup (e.g. the fixing of geographical names) and updated information. When the section says "today" that was almost 100 years ago. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 20:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Frankly, most of this section seemed pretty irrelevant to me given that today the city is probably 99% Sunni Turkish! Very unclear to me when they were even talking about. Way too detailed in comparison, for example, with very weak list of city sights. I'd suggest deleting most of it - always reads oddly to me to have long, detailed sections on past Christianity in what is a solidly Muslim environment...?

message: Some of this article reads like a tourist brochure. Besides this, it seems to fall very short on information/detail, considering the cultural/historical importance of the city. Pob1984 (talk) 14:25, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Alternative names

message: I am not surprised that you put a picture of a mosque in high prominence regarding this location. Turkey is supposed to be a secular nation, so I find it highly inappropriate and somewhat stereotypical of most internet sites convering anything in Asia-Minor or the middle east for that matter. The equivalent would be like putting a picture of St. Paul's Cathedral in prominence on a website dedicated to the city London. This is highly objectionable and should be adjusted, and injects religion into an otherwise secular issue. Are you trying to stake a claim as this being part of Islam? Should we in the Western World put Christian religious institutions at the top of all of our web pages too? 
How ridiculous this site is in such a modern age to promote Islam. I thought we were supposed to be living in enlightened times.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.199.157 (talk) 04:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Selimiye Mosque is best known site of Edirne, the masterpiece of Mimar Sinan and (I think) a world heritage site so perfectly appropriate for it to be prominent, I'd have thought. Ealinggirl1954 (talk) 20:24, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inappropriate Positioning of the Mosque in this Article. Stereotype confirmed. 

message: Why indicate old name of the city in the opening sentence or opening paragraph? I see in other cities older names are given in Etymology or History sections. Filanca (talk) 09:58, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The historical significance of Edirne under its historical name of Adrianople is enormous. Furthermore, this was the most common name of the city in English until about 1930. There is a massive corpus of history books in existence that speak of this city (calling it Adrianople) and the many things that happened in and around it historically. Simply for this reason, it has value to state that Edirne and Adrianople are one and the same. 2606:A000:89C6:9300:94F1:4103:5FE:CC27 (talk) 00:13, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Old name

message: I think that you will find the place is and always has been called Erdine not Edirne.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.250.174.30 (talk) 15:29, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Google Maps uses the name "Edirne" and a general Google search brings up far more matches for "Edirne" than "Erdine" (consistent with the latter being a spelling mistake). Do you have any reliable sources giving the name as "Erdine"? Polly Tunnel (talk) 16:32, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

text: Edirne is correct modern Turkish name.  Ealinggirl1954 (talk) 20:26, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Erdine or Edirne  

message: The article states that "73% of the working population work in agriculture, fishing, forests, hunting."  This seems highly unlikely, given that Edirne is fairly dense city.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thrasybulus11 (talk • contribs) 00:41, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem here is that in Turkey the capital city of each province usually has the same name so really Edirne needs a disambuguation page that separates the city content from that of the province - which is, as you say, where this info on agriculture etc belongs.

message: How come do cities in modern day Turkey all have Greek names attached in Wikipedia articles and cities in modern day Greece don't have Turkish names? 2A02:A210:A42:7980:5C32:5F8B:4AF5:D159 (talk) 17:55, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Because the Greek names continued in common currency until 1453 and even then continued to be well known. As this page says, Adrianople continued to be used right through intothe early 20th century. Including these names helps with understanding historic texts where the old Greek names may be used. As someone living in Turkey, I care most about the Turkish names while as a historian I know how useful knowing the old names can be - and how confusing it can be if you don't known, for example, that Adrianople and Edirne refer to same place! Ealinggirl1954 (talk) 20:30, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Your explanation is not valid and doesn't make sense. Thessaloniki was known as "Selanik" until it was occupied by Greece in the 1910s. In other words, it was known by the Turkish name until the 20th century. According to your logic, it is legal for us to write its Turkish name at the beginning of the Thessaloniki article. But Wikipedia admins do not accept this. End this discrimination and double standard against Turks. 37.155.84.69 (talk) 14:58, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

message: The article currently says (right in the opening paragraph - it's apparently that important!) "The town is famous in Turkey for its liver." Now, I'm no expert on entrails, but wouldn't it be kinda important to mention what kind of animals these livers come from? crabs? chicken? pigs? humans? No offence meant to the butchers of Edirne, I'm intentionally being absurd to make the point that "liver" means nothing at all. --BjKa (talk) 11:51, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
