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)
In the history section, the information in the chart is directly contradicting the information in the graph right below it. This isn't a minor issue about what the exact values are: they contradict each other in whether the city was at its height in the 1700s or now. 16:10, 07 December 2014 (GMT) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.71.18.137 (talk)
I've added an ((update)) 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)
What does that mean?? --AW 20:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
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)
Etimology: Serbian - Jedrene and bulgarian - Odrin (probably) names for Edirne are correct, but macedonian is Edrene (not Odrin) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.142.138.79 (talk) 09:08, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

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)
York article has a picture of York Minster in prominence. BedriIST (talk) 20:42, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
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)
A paragraph on the Roma celebration of Kakava in Edirne has ben deleted from the "Culture" section of this article. The edit summary says Kakava is not Edirne tradition. Edirne is Turkish city. This is the deleted text:
Another international festival in Edirne is Kakava, a celebration of Roma people held on May 5 each year.
It seems clear from the Kakava page on Wikipedia that the Kakava festival is a cultural event and that it takes place in Edirne. So presumably the implication of the removal of the text is the idea that the "Culture" section refers to Turkish traditions in Edirne, rather than all cultural events in the city. If we are to use this narrower definition, we should (1) rename the section "Turkish Culture", and (2) remove the paragraph on the cultural partnership with Lörrach in Germany, as it is not specifically about Turkish culture. I would have thought that this is an overly narrow definition, and would propose instead including all the cultural content within the city. Hence I propose restoring the deleted text. Please comment so that consensus can be reached.

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)
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)

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)
Before it becomes the capital, it has to be Istanbul, not Constantinople. The name of the city has been Istanbul since 1453. Global technologyy (talk) 12:13, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
Mehmed II engaged with diverse artistic traditions in refashioning his public persona and self-image upon the reconstructed stage of his new capital, which continued to be called Kostantiniyye (Costantinopolis), alongside its popular name, Istanbul (from the Greek eis tin polin, meaning "to the city").
I was looking for Adrianople and got redirected to this. I want to learn about Adrianople from the Roman context, not the Turk occupation, Adrianople in the Roman context is mentioned so much in history books, but no Wikipedia article? Middle More Rider (talk) 11:37, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
Edrine Boy is a Ugandan TikTok actor, who made a name for himself for comically imitating behaviours pertaining to the mothers at home. 197.239.14.144 (talk) 21:04, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
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)
