message: I know that the statue in Cleveland was partially destroyed by a bomb in the 1970s (or so I was told as a child), but I'm looking for an official source so that the information can be added to this page.  The only information that I have to that effect is having actually seen the damage to the sculpture. SailorAlphaCentauri 15:59, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I've reverted an anonymous unsourced assertion. If Rodin was aware of the pineal gland in producing this sculpture it needs to be tied to his voluminous correspondence or other published material. --Wetman 08:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a Rodin exhibition  near me (Belgium) from 31st March to 1st July 2007.  Is it likely to be the real "The Thinker" sculpture or a copy? Pgr94 15:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

message: How is this the original if there is the neolithic version? Or is it the way its worded. Sure its impressive though the original is far more intriguing.
I believe the original statue is the one at the University of Louisville campus, not the one in the Rodin museum.

thread_title:  Original casting 

message: Which one is the first cast, the one at the Rodin Museum or the one at Louisville Uni? They can't be both, unless one is the first cast of one kind and the other is the first of a different kind. In any case, clarification is needed. --Quarconi (talk) 23:15, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

message: How big exactly is "monumental"? If the exact size is not mentioned, how are we supposed to believe if it even qualifies as such? 85.217.21.121 (talk) 18:05, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Great article! There are some comparisons to be made with Michelangelo's David. Both nude of course. David is standing, The Thinker is sitting. David is physically fit and verile, but not nearly as masculine as Thinker. I would love to see more scholarly research added, comparing the male nude art form to other sculptures.Juneau Mike (talk) 17:36, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

message: The second lead paragraph says '28' full-size casts (I removed 'about', as this should be an exact number). Accurate or off-count? The page List of The Thinker sculptures has a different count. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:01, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: How many casts?

message: Re:"Some critics say..." Download : https://www.nga.gov/content/dam/ngaweb/research/publications/pdfs/european-sculpture-19th-century.pdf (Warning:file size= 100 meg). More accurate info than cited in this wiki article. This article would benefit from being corrected. 19:35, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

message: Measurement of figure at Museé Rodin - inconsistencies in text. Opening section lists 72 inches as size. Origin section cites 72 centimetres (vastly different!) 
Also, the opening segment dates the sculpture as 1904, but in the Origin section declares the stature was enlarged to 181cm (which is close to 72 inches) in 1902. 
I don’t know the correct information, but the inconsistencies are problematic. 
To whomever can amend the article, I offer my thanks. AllTheWordliness (talk) 09:35, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
