Çekerge

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!)

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]
