message: I think that there should be some mention as the the modern versions of these fairytales because it will shows their longevity and doesn't make them seem so distant.  The article doesn't say much about how these fairytales in particular have affected much of modern western culture either.  This article seems very limited as to what affect Grimm's fairytales have on today's societies.
:A section on the influence of the collection would be very appropriate.  Goldfritha 23:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: OK.  I note that this page is full of German titles in "red link" -- this being the English Wikipedia, if we make the red links in English we might get a few more help to add the fairy tale pages (in English). Goldenrowley 02:51, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: As a child, my mother had a book of Grimm's Fairy Tales.  One of her favorites from that book was "The Nose Tree".  I can't seem to find a book that includes this tale.  Does anyone know why it's hard to find?  Frotz661 01:03, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly The Rose Tree?  It's  not a German tale but an English one -- but it's very similar to The Juniper Tree.  Goldfritha 01:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No.  It's definitely the "Nose Tree".  I found some references to it with Google, usually in fairly old volumes.  Oddly enough, Project Gutenberg doesn't have the tale, but it does have pretty much all the other tales.  Frotz661 05:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have the 1993 printing of "The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales" from Barnes & Noble press, which claims to be unexpurgated.  Would this be a correct statement, in other words, being a translation of the original edition instead of the later watered down versions? Either way, it might be worth mentioning in the article what version modern reprintings tend to follow. Fieari 15:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have tagged Grimm's Fairy Tales#In popular culture with the <expandsect> template because, obviously, there are a million and one adaptions of various Grimm's Fairy Tales. For instance, Shrek uses a lot of stuff from Grimm, and how about all the stuff in pop culture about individual fairy tales? Would that also belong here?Lilac Soul 11:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The title of this page should be changed to Grimms' Fairy Tales.  In addition, searches for Grimm Fairy Tales and Grimm's Fairy Tales should redirect here.  (Comparatively, the comic series is a fairly recent occurence, and can be redirected from this page.)  My reasoning is, most people learn about  these historical fairy tales very early in their lives, and so will be looking for info based on what little they can remember about the title, i.e., Grimm, Grimms, Grimm's, or Grimms' Fairy Tales.  For this reason, this search should be made as easy as possible.  This page can then serve as a redirect point for those looking for something more specific or entirely different (the comic series).  I would like to take a vote for changing the page title, and if appropriate objections are not raised, I will begin the process of changing it.  Thanks.

message: Are grimm's fairy tales actually slavic? Alot of the tales are very similiar to slavic tales.

message: An awful lot of the text here has been directly copied from Brothers Grimm in this set of edits (complete with images). That needs to be indicated and attributed. Or reverted. I'm thinking since it's a copy from the other page and this page needs a different emphasis that I'll probably revert to a previous version. Victoria (talk) 18:34, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

message: There were some comments earlier regarding the prospect of discussing how the work of the Grimms has been addressed in later editions, particularly English-language ones. Along those same lines, there have been instances in the last 30 odd years of additional tales being found, which scholars ascribed to the brothers, generally resulting in publication of new 'Complete' editions, each incorporating the most recemt 'find'. It seems as though reference to these new-found tales and, perhaps, the first printed edition to include each would be a worthwhile undertaking. Irish Melkite (talk) 08:51, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking most particularly of St Joseph in the Forest, not remembering other specifically - and I may be off in thinking that there were. I do note, something I had not before, that the St Joseph tale was included in the Children's Legends volume, so its 'discovery' may be more that it wasn't ever included in the Complete Fairy Tales, rather than that it was entirely 'new'.

thread_title:  Not actually all german 

message: I see the move discussion. My copy says "The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales". My rationale is that "Grimm" refers to the family of two brothers... so... "Grimm's" would refer to the tales by the Grimm family, or the "Grimms". I can see it being "Grimms'" but the apostrophe is awkward in that case and not found on Google ngarms: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=grimm%27s%2Cgrimms%27%2Cgrimms%2Cbrothers+grimm%2C+grimm&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cgrimm%20%27s%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cbrothers%20grimm%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cgrimm%3B%2Cc0.

message: Regarding to the illustration of all editions, with this addition were was material shared, that I can't verify. I only found two websites and they did not really have good informations about the statement. I suggest two options, either it should be rewritten or it should be removed, because otherwise it would be questioned again like this edit shows us the standard example, if the article received a review.
Here are the both mentioned links found on a german website literaturkritik.de and on gadgets 360. In my opinion, the second news reads obvious and can be seen as questionable, because the news stating no author. I hope someone finds time to read this and can decide what we should do.

message: The Oliver Loo (2014) translation is probably self-pub, so I tagged it.
I removed the old URL (which was merely a dead link to a notice announcing this book soon to be published, or just published or whatever), and replaced it with a books.google URL. Google tells me it is self-pub (l u l u . c o m published), but if I mention this I then get barred from saving the entire edit, even if it is commented out. --Kiyoweap (talk) 16:23, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

message: Margaret Hunt title (1884) probably shouldn't be automatically be used as the default title to create articles.
KHM 182 rather than "The Little Folks' Presents" as according to Hunt, needs to be "The Gifts of the Little People", because the plurality of modern folklorists refer to it by that English title. The reason is that this Grimm tale is the representative tale for Aarne-Thompson-Uther 503, and Uther (2004) decided to title it "The Gifts of the Little People" in English, so that has become the 'standard', if you will. --Kiyoweap (talk) 16:40, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
