Plagiarism/Botched Citation In the first paragraph under "Reaction," most of the language in those first three sentences is taken directly from the Krutch source cited at the end of the third sentence. Please add quotation marks in order to properly cite Krutch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.192.17 ( talk) 21:19, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
Citation needed: The quotations under "Reactions" were famously compiled by William Archer in an article for the Pall Mall Gazette (4/8/1891) called "Ghosts and Gibberings." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.192.17 ( talk) 13:14, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Here's the section that was removed -- it is a mishmash of (mostly) directly quoting the source without proper attribution, plus misrepresentings and Original Research. The source is not gone -- it's used as a source in the article elsewhere. This section was tagged a couple of years ago for poor quality:
Also removed an unsourced good faith prime example of Original Research from section "Writing": "The translated title of 'Ghosts' is actually misleading compared to the Danish and Norwegian titles. The correct translation would have been ' Revenants'."

A sentence that pointed out that syphilis is not an inherited disease was removed in good faith by Wikipedia editor Softlavender, with Softlavender’s comment: “Syphilis can be inherited, see Congenital syphilis. The play simply omits the fact that Mrs. Alving was a carrier)” However, the medical definition of “inherited” requires that it be passed down in the genetic code, in fact syphilis is transmitted by a bactierium. The Wikipedia page Congenital syphilis supports this. I am going to add a footnote to the article and references, that support and expand on this. I’ve also found a reference that supports a part of what Softlavender is suggesting. StBlark ( talk) 13:40, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
In the Reception section, do we need nine nearly identical and very repetitive reviews, each with its own paragraph? I think the reader gets the point after reading less than half of them. I suggest trimming the section to four or five (the four or five with the most variety, or the four or five from the most notable sources). Does anyone agree or have any other suggestions?

Can someone please copy edit the article and clarify what language the first performance was given in? The current article says:
These seem to be contradictory, and I can't tell if the original performance in Chicago was in Danish, Norwegian, or (more likely) English. Masato.harada ( talk) 17:17, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Edward Aveling was a friend of Ibsen's, was a geneticist and Darwinist and social reformer, and had associations with the Aurora Turner Hall in Chicago that premiered Ghosts. It seems very likely that he influenced the play and possibly its premiere. Mrs. Alving's surname seems to even be a nod to Aveling. Worth more research in case his name merits being in the article. There is material available concerning Aveling, Ibsen, and Ghosts, but I haven't collected it. Softlavender ( talk) 05:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
