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

Canonization is a specific procedure to grant sainthood, but it only appeared centuries later. At the time of Edward, popular acclamation was the main way saints were created. Once enough Christians believed you were one, then you were one. This is what happened to Edward: he never underwent the canonization process, but he is still considered as a saint. There is no contradiction there, and he is not the only one in that case. – Swa cwæð

That last change doesn't get us very far. There are 2 courses of action open to us:-
I merely responded to the problem you signalled in your edit summary, which was that the previous phrase could easily be misread as giving you a choice between either (1) "Edward the Martyr", or (2) "Eadward II" (which is nonsense of course). I'll get rid of the numeral (per option 2), which has no place here and would be a potential source for confusion anyway.

Wilson-Claridge?
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.
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.

The link is wrong. It should be to
Corfe Castle (village) rather than the castle itself, but the term is still confusing. I have tried to make to clearer by just referring to Corfe. If anyone has a better idea then they can have a go. ODNB has "a natural defensive mound dominating the gap of Corfe in the Purbeck hills".

Name
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. —
