Talk:Karl Kraus (writer)

message: Changed "murderous heat" in "Karl Kraus and language" to "murderous chase", since I believe the author of the article confused "Hetz" (hunt, chase) with "Hitz" (heat).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.233.45.8 (talk) 15:44, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello! In the article is said: When asked why he never said anything about Hitler, he reportedly answered: I cannot think of anything to say about Hitler. - This is common, but wrong. He did not publish about Hitler until october 1933 and then he wrote: Das Wort entschlief, als jene Welt erwachte. (The word died, when this world awoke.) - The quote I cannot think of anything to say about Hitler. is the first ironic sentence of his 1933 written book of 300 pages "Die dritte Walpurgisnacht" about the Hitler-barbarism. Actually this book wasn´t published in that times, because that would have meant danger to any involved person (f.e. the printer). - Yours sincerely --Logograph 01:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In the article, it is written that Kraus "left the Catholic Church, because he disapproved of the revival of the Salzburg Festival." Are you sure that it is not a joke ? I am usually working on Kraus for the french language wikipedia, and I have found nothing about this in the bookks I've read.--Loudon dodd 02:03, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Edward Timms, he was annoyed at Max Reinhardt's use of a Salzburg church as a venue for a theatrical performance, and wrote satirically that his apostasy was the result of "antisemitism" (i.e. Reinhardt's "Jewish" profaning of a religious site), though in fact he had become disillusioned with Catholicism over its support for the First World War. I've put that in (hopefully reasonably clearly) with a citation from Timms' book. PhilipC (talk) 18:47, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

text: It would be helpful to add the text by Krauss Edward Timms' relies on in this context.LeaNder (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 10:42, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm working on putting together a page on Karl Kraus, the German physicist, and am thinking we need a disambiguation page (since we already have three Karl Kraus articles linked to in hatnotes and I'm about to add another one). I have never heard of Karl Kraus the writer before (as I imagine many haven't heard of Karl Kraus the physicist before), so I was wondering if there was any objection to using Karl Kraus for the disambiguation page and moving this article to Karl Kraus (writer).--Azaghal of Belegost (talk) 04:44, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The old hatnote at the writer's article was unnecessary – those people were not named "Karl Kraus". The fact that only the German Wikipedia has an article about the physicist whereas the writer has an article in 30 languages, 1 of them classified as a Good Article and 1 as a Wikipedia:Featured article, is a good indication of the relative notability between these two and why the writer should be considered the primary topic for this name. Another measure in determining the primary topic suggested at WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is to look at incoming links; did you? The physicist has none, which is considerably fewer than the writer has. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:08, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That was rather silly of me to not notice the other individuals acutally had different names... Also, missed the simple notariety checks you mentioned, thanks for bringing that to my attention (I read WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, but obviously things didn't quite sink in). I'll revert the move and unfix all the links I was in the process of fixing.--Azaghal of Belegost (talk) 14:27, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

text: On second thought, since I changed the redirect to a disambiguation page, I might need an administrator to do that. Live and learn, I guess.--Azaghal of Belegost (talk) 14:32, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I've restored one part of this section: the anecdote by Ernst Křenek describing meeting Kraus in 1932, which attests to his obsesssive concern about the correct use of language. This story is surely germane and has a proper citation. Mick gold (talk) 15:26, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
