The "Plot Introduction" is something of a spoiler (unsigned comment)

It should be remarked that contrary to the above Wikipedia synopsis of "Wieland," the book does not explicitly state it was Carwin's voice that prompted Wieland to his crimes. Rather, the reader is simply left to wonder and guess who and what voices Wieland heard; with Carwin's ventriloquist voice being one possible explanation but by no means the only one. (unsigned comment)

These are both germane points. I've edited the "Plot Introduction" to make it more introductory. I'll be back to work on the plot summary and other elements of the page, unless someone beats me to it :) AngelaVietto (talk) 05:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Concern about supposed 'spoilers' is not the business of an encyclopedia and is no longer wikipedia policy. Colin4C (talk) 09:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, point taken. I guess the real problem was and is the differentiation between a "plot introduction" and a "plot summary." I don't really see the point of a plot introduction, so Colin's edit makes sense to me.AngelaVietto (talk) 16:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't Carwin eventually confess that his motives in hanging about Clara's house and at least some of his ventriloquy had to do with having it on with Clara's maid?--Ebbarc (talk) 02:41, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wieland, not Woland[edit]

I removed the speculative linking of the name Wieland to Woland, which was way out of bounds. Also added the author's own discussion of the name, which is linked to that of a German author whom many contemporary readers would have recognized, Christoph Martin Wieland (d. 1813). Do I need to cite an authority for this, other than the text of the novel itself? The reference is an oblique one. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 00:48, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page numbers for refs[edit]

Just a quick note of concern that most of the references for the analysis (etc) do not include page numbers. Hopefully we can get them filled in eventually. --Midnightdreary (talk) 17:40, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: page numbers--Is it necessary to indicate the edition of the book being used for page numbers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.37.239.34 (talk) 17:21, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
