He is referred to in museums as SAINT Edward the Martyr, and he is listed on Catholic Saint indexes, yet this article says he was never canonised. Where did this information come from? It seems inaccurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BaldrickG ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
That last change doesn't get us very far. There are 2 courses of action open to us:-
1. Find reliable sources that he is sometimes know as Edward II or Eadward II, add something in the opening that he is not to be confused with Edward II of England, and look into making similar changes to Edward the Elder and Edward the Confessor.
2. Ditch that "(II)" altogether. PatGallacher ( talk) 20:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
The second paragraph of the "Later cult" section mentions activities of a "Wilson-Claridge" (presumably, Shaftesbury Abbey "Director of Excavations" John E. Wilson-Claridge) without any explanation.
Are people supposed to know to whom this refers? If no one objects, I'll enhance this with something similar to the information available in the Shaftesbury Abbey and London Necropolis Company articles. Rt3368 ( talk) 02:36, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

There is another orthodoxchurch with the same dedication, which should be included in this article http://saintedwardsorthodoxdorset.org/ Dean1954 ( talk) 11:49, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Given the uncertainty about the relics/bones kept by the Old Calendarists, is it really correct to say that there is a shrine at their church?

The article stated that Edward was murdered at Corfe Castle in 978 however the earliest construction date for Corfe Castle is after the Norman invasion of 1066 so he can't have been killed at a castle that didn't exist at the time. OEB1 STORM ( talk) 12:15, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Someone cleaned up the name but it should be undone. We should have the Old English forms that appeared in contemporary documents and coinage (e.g. EADVEARD and EADVYEARD) somewhere on the page, even if only as a footnote. — LlywelynII 05:44, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
