How is this different from pantomime?  Perhaps this should be merged with the pantomime article? --Bookgrrl 01:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The addition of a paragraph about Ennio Marchetto looks like an excerpt from  a press release.   The performer may be significant enough to be included in a separate wikipedia article, however, in a general article  about mime, the scope should  be  limited to the major figures who have significantly inluenced the entire field such as Étienne Decroux, Jacques Lecoq, Marcel  Marceau, Henryk Tomaszewski (mime), Charles Chaplin et cetera.IanThal 00:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we really need a list of every time a mime character or character who dressed in a stereotypical mime fashion appears in the popular media?  Do we really need this section or can we at least pare it down to more than a list of trivial facts?IanThal 03:59, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mime in Popular Culture? 

message: The opening statement seems a bit circular to me: it says a mime artists is basically a performer who uses mime in his art. It does not adequately explain what mime actually is. If one didn't know what mime was already, he would be none the wiser. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 00:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Opening statement 

message: Mime is currently a disambiguation, leading to this article and to MIME. I propose that the phrase Mime artist should be secondary to the artform, mime. The disambiguation should be moved to Mime (disambiguation), whereas Mime artist should be moved to Mime. Another good reason to do this: it appears that the great majority of pages linking to the Mime disambiguation are in reference to the artform anyway. --woggly 04:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Can we fix the opening paragraph that defines what mining is? It is currently using the word 'mime' to define what miming is. It doesn't tell me anything. 118.209.176.27 (talk) 10:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Way back in May 2007, two unexplained edits in a row   brought this article's length down from 26 kilobytes to 9 kilobytes.  It seems like lots of useful information was lost at that point and never restored.  Anybody feel like taking a closer look and maybe restoring or integrating the lost contents?

message: Interwiki links are/were a bit disarranged, probably because of the term pantomime (BE) which is, in most other languages, the general term for mime (AE). Here's a list of the different Wikidata items about the main (panto)mime topics. 
Some Wikipedias mix informations about mime (the art) and mime (the individual artist) in one article, so the links were sorted according to their title and main topic. Some Wikipedias have two articles (one about the art and one about the artists).
*d:Q39818: Mime – about the classic theatre genre/performance art, about its subgenres, history etc. (mime is currently only a redirect, several en.wikipedia articles were merged into mime artist in the past, see below)
**d:Q8632858: :Category:Mime
*d:Q674067: Mime artist – about the acting persons, the profession (exists in some countries, see drama schools), notable actors/artists etc.
**d:Q9215958: :Category:Mimes
*d:Q13409536: Pantomime – about the typical British "Christmas pantomime"
**d:Q7357361: :Category:Pantomime
*d:Q4745508: American pantomime – about the American form of British "Christmas pantomime"

replies: text: You are trying to use hatnotes to explain a distinction that is meant for the body of the article. Hatnotes are only used for clerical purposes. Hatnotes are for articles that have the same title. A reader will not be brought to this article if they type in pantomime. Please read WP:RELATED for further explanation. MarnetteD|Talk 04:32, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I forgot to mention that panto (with the appropriate link) is mentioned in the second paragraph of the lede. It points out the distinction between the two. Having the mention that close to the top of the article further obviates the need for an improper hatnote. MarnetteD|Talk 04:48, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

text: No. In this discussion, I am referring specifically to the hatnote that you were trying to add to this article. The discussion there has almost nothing to do with this. MarnetteD|Talk 04:23, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I have fixed this error by removing that bad link.  This topic has little or nothing to do with pantomime as developed in Britain, which is a farcical form of musical theatre; the two artforms evolved very separately over the past 300 to 400 years. I just read this article, and it's awful.  The Greek section is barely relevant, as is the whole section on non-western traditions.  And, on the other hand, it has only a perfunctory discussion of mime as developed in Europe by artists like Jean-Gaspard Deburau and performed worldwide today. I see that in May 2007, two edits in a row   deleted most of the discussion of mime from the article.  Unfortunately, the content that was deleted was unreferenced. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:34, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Just a note to agree that the section on Greek and Latin mime really needs work and probably should be split out. Ancient mime was spoken. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 15:49, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: After some searching it looks like the closest article to what you are looking for is Regin. The only mention there though is a small item about the character in Wagner's Ring Cycle so WikiP may not have any info that is useful to you. MarnetteD|Talk 22:25, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Okay I have added a link to the article at the mention of the character at Mime (disambiguation). This is clearer than creating a redirect. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. MarnetteD|Talk 22:56, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
