Çekirge

I live below the chekerge "cricket as in the insect" district, and I think the hot bathes could use a little more attention since going to hamam has been an attraction of bursa for centuries. I'll get you started: the first notable bath was built by the roman emperor justinian 1 and was laiter rebuilt/restored/converted be sulyman or some other ottoman emperor and still functions today, if your planning on visiting, it's not the nicest bath in bursa, nicer ones can be found at higher end hotels and stuff some of which are still quite old with roman and early ottoman roots.

Captions

The pictures need captions.

Also, perhaps the mosque should get its own article? Punkmorten 14:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC) reply

The mosque should definitely have its own article; it's an important architectural benchmark or milestone or whatever you'd call it. I just didn't have time to write it.
I just looked up how to make captions, so I'll go do that. (I had described the pictures in the text, but they kept getting moved or deleted or whatever so the references to "above left" or "below right" kept being wrong. Duh, that explains why I should use captions!)
-- Vcrs 07:44, 3 August 2006 (UTC) reply
Made captions; pictures kept showing up oddly so I put them in a table, but now they break the whole page. If anyone knows how to make the pictures show up on either side of the text, instead of always on the right, that would help (it's confusing when picture is alongside next section instead of the one it relates to, that's why I put them in a table).

Copyvio

I removed "The Trade Center of Bursa" section because it was a copyvio from [1]. If someone wants to re-write it in their own words that would be great, but the page clearly says "© 2001 Daniel C. Waugh" at the bottom. — Khoikhoi 20:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC) reply

Karagöz and Hacivat

The article says " Karagöz and Hacivat shadow play characters were historic personalities who lived and who are buried in Bursa." There are certainly legends to that effect, but I am surprised at the blind statement of that as fact, without even a citation. - Jmabel | Talk 18:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC) reply

¿Europe?

Why is this city shown in the map of Europe? It´s in Anatolia, Asia. Xareu bs ( talk) 11:04, 5 October 2020 (UTC) reply

Possible nonsense? Information

I think the page needs a rollback to the version of 18 November 2007; the edits since then appear to either be not notable people or in need of formatting cleanup. Would someone please check those edits. 141.199.102.30 ( talk) 20:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Montage

Again, there is a problem with the montage picture on that one too, like the one in İzmir. Don't forget to source your montage picture carefully like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ankara_kolajı.jpg Cheers! -- 88.254.241.230 ( talk) 20:27, 2 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Location of province

I think that the following sentence doesn't belong to this article: It is bordered by the Sea of Marmara and Yalova to the north; Kocaeli and Sakarya to the northeast; Bilecik to the east; and Kütahya and Balıkesir to the south. This sentence must be in Bursa Province article and not in Bursa city article. Nedim Ardoğa ( talk) 08:50, 23 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Without changing the sentence, I changed the name Bursa → capital city of Bursa Province. Nedim Ardoğa ( talk) 08:33, 14 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Correction

This article says: Prusias renamed the city after himself, as Prusa. / but Prusias means: "The man from Prusa(= Bursa)", so the name of this city was already Prusa! (before the reign of Prusias) Böri ( talk) 13:25, 17 February 2010 (UTC) reply

There are reliable sources, including the Classical Gazetteer, claiming that before Prusias rebuilt the city it was named Cius. I don't doubt your etymology of the King's name, but how do we know that he was named after this city? Prusias' name might have been given without regard to meaning (King Philip of Macedon probably wasn't thus named for his fondness of horses), or it might refer to another city of the same name.

The meaning of "Hüdavandigar" the old name of the city

Hüdavandigar is a Persian word which in general means "God" and "king" or in general "somebody who owns something". The following is the website for that specific word in Dehkhoda dictionary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehkhoda_Dictionary

and to get to know about the well-known Dehkhoda Persian dictionary read about it in Wikipedia:

Bursa in ottoman

Should be بروسه Brussa. Ottoman orthography often reflects etymology more accurately than pronunciation. Demermerci ( talk) 12:21, 26 January 2019 (UTC) reply

بورسه is the spelling used in Redhouse's 19th century dictionary and the 1927 edition of Ataturk's Nutuk (page 626). Is there a citable source giving the بروسه spelling? Vox Sciurorum ( talk) 18:49, 24 January 2022 (UTC) reply
I have to revise that statement. On page 340 of Nutuk is the بروسه spelling. Do we list both? Vox Sciurorum ( talk) 20:54, 5 February 2022 (UTC) reply
