I have not spent the time to compose amplifications appropriate for the subsections, nor identified the correct subsections, but I am placing these eleven links here, in order to clear this from my agenda for now.  I may complete this later, or someone else may do it instead. -- Wavelength 18:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unsorted additional Esperantists 

message: I feel like this article should either be called Esperantism or List of Esperantists.  See what happens with the articles Communism, Anarchist, Libertarian, Inclusionist. --Quintucket (talk) 19:45, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article name issue 

message: The list features László and Zsuzsanna, but not Judit or Zsófia. I'm pretty sure their father László Polgár taught Esperanto to all three of them. 213.109.230.96 (talk) 14:24, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Polgars 

message: Some Esperanto speaking people don't like the word "Esperantist" (or "Esperantisto"). They prefer the more neutral term "Esperanto speaker" (me, for instance :-) ). I think, this should be mentioned. The term "Esperanto speaker" is used only once in the page, but it is used e.g. in Fluent in 3 months, The Economist and NPR.
The term "Esperantisto" is defined in the "Deklaracio pri la esenco de Esperantismo". Those who do not want to be identified as followers of the "esperantism" (me, for instance), do not accept that a declaration with such a name (and content) defines how they should be named.
The article says "Although definitions of Esperantist vary (...)". There is no source for this assertion (and where are the other definitions?). 
The article also says: "An Esperantist is also a person who participates in Esperanto culture." No source for this either... 
Why do we speak about "Native Esperanto speakers", not about "Native Esperantists"? Or, the other way around - isn't this a good idea which should expand? --Lu Wunsch-Rolshoven (talk) 14:09, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Esperantist and/or "Esperanto speaker"? 

message: Sources now in the article (and in the article about  J. R. R. Tolkien). It should be noted that the remark about Esperanto from 1956 is only in a draft of a letter; it is not known, if the letter was sent and who "Mr. Thompson" was. 
As to the remark: Tolkien wrote about the authors of Volapük, Esperanto, Ido, Novial etc. that they "never invented any Esperanto legends". Why should e. g. the author of Volapük invent "Esperanto" legends (and not "Volapük legends")?! So it's clear Tolkien didn't think too much about this sentence. 
There is still another point: For a living language like Esperanto it's not necessary that the author himself invents the legends of the language and of the language community. There are hundreds of authors who write in Esperanto, some of them do invent legends; and the community of Esperanto speakers forms own legends... --Lu Wunsch-Rolshoven (talk) 10:45, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  J. R. R. Tolkien in fact learned Esperanto, read "a fair amount" it and wrote in it
