Why is the initial "A" capitalized and why is the title plural? Usual Wikipedia conventions call for lower case and singular except when there are special reasons to do otherwise. Michael Hardy 18:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
If this article is supposed to be about Goethe's sociological theories and fiction writing, then it needs to say so in the first sentence. If it's supposed to be about chemistry, then that other stuff should be deleted. Michael Hardy 21:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
That German version says right at the beginning that it's a novel. This version did not do that at all (now it does). Michael Hardy 01:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
“ | B.J. Dobbs, The Foundation of Newton's Alchemy (1975), also examined the role of the "mediator" by which two substances are made "sociable"; we may recall here the importance of the mediator in Goethe's Elective Affinities (Engl. trans. Greenwood, 1976). For what concerns chemistry, Goethe was not far from Newton. | ” |
Might it not be better to have a picture of the first edition of the novel included on the article in place of the current one? Is there a reason that this isn't possible? JohnHillEU ( talk) 00:16, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
