How do Gnomes differ from Dwarfs?

Gnomes in Popular Culture?

What business do the references to Wolfmother and Pink Floyd have being under 'In Folklore'. Surely they should be under a new section entitled 'Gnomes in popular culture' or not there at all?194.217.231.252 14:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gnome Deleted?

So I took the time to go out of my way and take pictures of a gnome so that it could be used on Wikipedia, and the picture was deleted? Thanks to whoever did that. Equilibrium 14:23, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Next time, remember to give free permit to use your picture when you upload it. Goldenrowley 05:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lawn Gnome picture?

I know that lawn gnomes are popular and all, but should a page on gnomes in general have a picture of a lawn gnome right at the top of the page? Couldn't we find a picture of a "real" gnome (that is, a mythological/literary gnome)?

Reported theory

Apologies, it's a bit vague; it's half-remembered. Brian Sewell, in his series on the Grand Tour, stated (half-jokingly?) that the garden gnome evolved from statues of Priapus. These statues with erect phalluses, put up in fields in the belief they would secure an abundant crop, turned over time into rods with painted red tops. These, again over time, turned into the red-hatted gnomes. Has anyone else heard this before? If so, it would be worth including.(JoeBlogsDord 23:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)) Yeah, and where do they live? Just underground. Where are they most seen?[reply]

German term(en)

I have a vague recollection of an article in a forgotten journal citing a German catalogue from the nineteenth century offering "gnomenFigürchen". --Lil Miss Picky 01:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds quite right, as Altavista's Babel Fish gives "dwarf" as a translation for "Zwerg," and "Gnome" for "Gnome." V-Man - ^T/_C 02:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Roaming Gnome Blog

Last year I took my master on a trip around the United States. We took many pictures and I am slowly getting him to post these pics on my Yahoo 360 blog. You can view it at http://360.yahoo.com/profile-uy7rAEM8cq12GsdPhAdqKTLV?inv=mEivF.lj

Irrelevant sentence removed

h9There was no motivation for including the sentence "Rupert Sheldrake has written a good deal about morphogenic fields, an idea Terry Pratchett used in his Discworld books many times.", so I removed it. Harold f 02:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ficticious books.

The first line mentions a ficticious book. Or is it a real book relating ficticious events. If it is a ficticious book, why mention it?

relevance of Gnomes without homes

Is http://www.gnomeswithouthomes.com/ really relevant? Maybe one can put it into the pop-culture section? JanCK 17:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MSU What?

This link to Encylopedia Britannica contains a medieval woodcut of a gnome. I am submitting this link to be allowed to be a link under External Links.[1] 64.136.48.205 12:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a New Link

Hi, all.

Tom Parks here. I am relatively new to editing Wiki. I wanted to add a link to this page, but I saw the warning box. Is that something new, or is it standard for Wiki? What's the right way to add a link, please?

The link I want to add is this one: http://www.assassination-gnomes.com/

It's a cool free game, based on the classic rock/paper/scissors motif. In this case the gnomish assassins are sniper/bomber/ninja

It seems at least as valid as the Gnome Army link.

Thanks in advance for the help and support!
