Removed the following passage: Ahmed Bican, who established he definitive version of the Turkish legend of the founding of ‘ Kostantiniyye’, introduces a certain Yanko bin Madyan as it's legendary builder. That exotic personal name has its origin however in Nicomedea: it is a misspelling and or misreading in the Ottoman Turkish writing of the actual word ‘Nikomedian’. [1]
This passage was removed as per Exceptional claims require exceptional sources, and undo weight. The information conflicts every reliable historical source in any language. Dinkytown 06:36, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

This article appears to be a translation, as many definite articles are missing and the structure is fairly incomprehensible at parts. I would recommend that someone review this. -- Ambrosiaster ( talk) 02:15, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Is it possible to correct this? (I saw on other pages too) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcris31 ( talk • contribs) 00:12, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
I've set the location to 40°45′45″N, 29°55′03″E (40.7625 N, 29.9175 E). This is very near an archeology museum, and conforms to the İstanbul street discovery mentioned in the article. Presumably the museum holds artifacts discovered during the construction of the elevated freeway where I pointed the coordinates. Also see Nicomedia İzmit Circus Ancient Greek The Ancient Hippodrome, Circus PNG. Abductive ( reasoning) 03:59, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
