A fact from Grand Bazaar, Istanbul appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 March 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, one of the largest covered markets in the world, attracts between 250,000 and 400,000 visitors daily?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/March. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Grand Bazaar, Istanbul.

"Grand"

I cannot find any evidence of another bazaar existing anywhere under this name. Gryffindor 14:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are probably right. Certainly no bazaar deserves the title "grand" more! Student7 19:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one: Tehran's Grand Bazaar. Dekimasu よ! 16:37, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thank you, I take back my own move proposal. Gryffindor 14:25, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pathetic

Hey all, i would just like to say that this section needs ALOT of addition. The Grand Bazar is Steeped in history, and should be several times the size that this is. Im afraid i dont know much about it, or i would do it myself. THanks Corhen (talk) 06:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About the image

I believe the image which i put is more colorful and more appealing to the eye. What do you thnik of it? KazekageTR (talk) 19:29, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that you are right. :-) After reverting, I noticed that you used one image below, and I was thinking that putting the image of the jewelers road below makes more sense (also because there the different roads are described) but you have been faster. :-) Alex2006 (talk) 06:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Number of visitors?

I question the 250,000 - 400,000 visitors per day statistic. That's 25,000 - 40,000 per hour, roughly ten unique new visitors arriving and departing per second throughout the day. It's possible, but having been there, I don't think it's anywhere near that. Paulcaira (talk) 19:23, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We need a RS to change this numbers. Alex2006 (talk) 17:27, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
