message: I got to this article by a redirect from Blumine which also happens to be the title of a work by Gustav Mahler.  It orginally formed part of the incidental music for a play and then was included in early versions of his First Symphony.  Could the Blumine page be a disambiguation page instead, directing here and to the Mahler Symphony?  Jubilee♫clipman 23:35, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed Blumine to a disambiguation page, as there are at least three possible uses of the name (it's also an island).  Jubilee♫clipman 23:58, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I couldn't find a specific mythological source, but the phrase in German simply means "Goddess of Flowers". I added as much to the disambiguation page.--Artimaean (talk) 19:06, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

message: I feel the body of this article needs a lot of work. I'm rewriting it from a plot perspective (which I feel is the only way to express the unique nature of it in the first place). Stop me if you wish.Artimaean (talk) 20:49, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The plot summary is still incomplete. There is no description of Book III, where the transcendental elements of the philosophy are discussed and where Teufelsdrockh mysteriously disappears. 2607:FEA8:A4A0:F600:D421:554E:C4F9:B1D0 (talk) 00:45, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Rewriting...

message: Article states the books weren't published until 1836, but I found a scanned copy in Google Books whose title page clearly says 1831 here, that was published by "Chapman and Hall, Limited." Is this a misprint or was it first published in 1831, didn't sell; was then serialized in Fraser's Magazine in 1833-34, and then re-published again in 1836 by popular demand?

thread_title: Publication Date Confusion

message: :Harold Bloom suggested that Sartor Resartus and James Joyce's 1939 novel Finnegans Wake are so thematically similar, Sartor Resartus seems to be influenced by Joyce's much later novel.
Yeah, that makes sense.  What? Viriditas (talk) 09:46, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

message: :The first British edition would appear much later, in London in 1838.
I'm not an expert, but I think "much later" is an unnecessary exaggeration.  From what I can tell, it was normal at that time for a book to be published in one region and then have to wait several years to appear in another. Viriditas (talk) 20:39, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

message: It is somewhat incorrect to assert that the name Diogenes_(disambiguation) means "God-born"; that would be Theogenes. The Dio- element refers to the Greek deity Zeus, not to God or gods in general. RandomCritic (talk) 19:30, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sry to be so late to the party, but speaking of names, "Teufelsdreck" is the German name for the spice Asafoetida. Like many other condiments, in times of rarity, scil., the Dark Ages, it was traded as medicine, like theriac, terebinth or opodeldoc; and according to its wiki article, it was used during exorcism. Idk if any of this is found in the article sources; just thought I'd mention it in case some attentive reader should stumble across anything about it ... "something exotic, peddled" ...

message: Hi, 'Teufelsdreck' is the perhaps less wisely chosen popular term for the condiment known in India as Heeng  (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asant). IOW, the professor isn't - at least not necessarily - branded as literal satanic excrement, it might just as well refer to the product and its curious name.
