Talk:List of Edinburgh festivals

message: In 'External Links', the URL given for Edinburgh Festivals (currently http://www.edinburghfestivals.co.uk) has recently changed to http://www.edinburghfestivalcity.com. Disclosure - I work for this organisation, and thus am not directing editing the page, per the COI guidelines. I hope this is the correct procedure.
EDIT - if anyone chooses to update this, please note that the issue also applies to the following pages as well (plus likely to others):
* /wiki/Edinburgh_International_Festival
* /wiki/Edinburgh_Festival_Fringe
* /wiki/Edinburgh_International_Film_Festival
* /wiki/Edinburgh_Fringe
* /wiki/Edinburgh_festival
* /wiki/Edinburgh_International_Book_Festival
Thank you.

I don't think you should worry too much about editing articles about things you might be involved with in other ways, as long as you can keep objective about it... (but I'm not that much of a Wikipedian, so don't assume I'm necessarily right about anything).--Oolong 21:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a lot of public confusion as to what the "Edinburgh Festival" is. Many people use the term when what they are actually referring to is the Fringe. Some use it as shorthand for the Edinburgh International Festival. Most just use it as a vague catch-all term, as they don't realise there are actually different festivals going on. Marketing people often talk about the "Edinburgh Festivals" (plural). The body formerly known as Festivals Edinburgh is now (I think) Edinburgh Festival City. All in all, I think this article confuses more than it clarifies. I propose turning it into purely a disambiguation page. All other content can then be merged into the relevant individual festival.

message: What do the asterisks mean at the end of some of the 'years of foundation'? They're not explained anywhere. -Taras (talk) 12:57, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: With no explanation forthcoming in three years, I've decided to be bold and remove them. TRiG (talk) 13:42, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

text: On further exploration, spelunking through the history, it looks like there used to be an explanation which was then mistakenly edited out. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Edinburgh_festivals&oldid=824996640 says

message: I have a COI so won't edit directly at this point, but I'd suggest that both the Beltane Fire Festival (30 April) and the Samhuinn Fire Festival (31 October) might be good additions here.
