Melusine may be within the scope of the WikiProject on Heraldry and Vexillology. Article is not primarily a heraldry or vexillology article. Bejnar 16:51, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Just a note here; does the description of the heraldic melusine not sound almost exactly like the logo for Starbucks® Coffee? I don't know how to reference that into the article as per the standards of Wikipedia, though. :( While the description seems obvious to me, I think that would make the conclusion "original research" and, so, debarred. Otoh, I think it is info worth noting in the Wikipedia article. Please, someone give some guidance on how to do this in the proper fashion. Thanks.
OK, I don't get why the author(s) of this article chose to refer to "melusine" as a generic word for two-tailed mermaids. From what I've seen, Melusine is always a proper name and should be treated as such, with a capital letter. I've not heard of people referring to two-tailed mermaids as melusines before. Someone have a reference for this, or is it original research/name-making? DreamGuy 10:02, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)
Aaaanyway, I wondered if the use of Melusina in A.S. Byatt's Possession was worth adding to the article. -- Nick Douglas 04:02, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I've come across references to Melusine/Melucine in historical novels, particularly those of Sharon Penman, in which she is claimed to be Lucifer's daughter, from whom the Counts of Anjou and England's Plantagenet dynasty descend. does anyone have any info on this?

Hi, thanks for the page on Melusine. In case anybody want to add it to the article, Mendelssohn wrote an Overture (Op.32) based on the Melusine myth, called Die Schöne Melusine or The Fair Melusine (composed 1833 for the Philharmonic Society, London, revised 1834-5 for performance in Leipzig) Orlando Jopling
To my knowledge, there are not many available English language texts of Melusine. A rough translation of Coudrette's Melsuine can be found here: http://www.isnull.com/bathesis/
I created a page about the Belgian comic book series Mélusine today, so I guess a disambiguation page is needed? Because as far as I can see, Melusine is the name of both a mythological creature and a comic book character, AND the partial name of an asteroid? Since I'm new to Wikipedia (at least the editing part), I was wondering how to go about setting that up? Would it be best to rename this page Melusine (mythological) or something like that? Anyway, I thought it was best to ask here - if any of you could help, it'd be much appreciated! - Bender of spoons 21:01, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
This topic is (ISTM) clearly closely related to Wagner's Rhinemaidens and nixies, so I have added a See also tag. -- Thnidu ( talk) 18:35, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Anyone aware of any info on the Starbucks coffee logo with regard to heraldry? The "Starbucks" mermaid appears, as national heraldry, on a 17th(?) century space-heater stove (vaguely similar to this one), exhibited in the Vilnius Valdovu Rumai. The stove is covered with a repeated pattern of ceramic tiles; one tile shows the Lithuanian Vytis, a second the Polish Eagle coat of arms, a third tile shows the Starbucks mermaid. The first two tiles clearly signify the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth of the 16th-18th centuries. The mermaid is presented as an equal, in size, proportion, and frequency, of the other two coats-of-arms: it is clearly a coat of arms signifying some or another political/geographical region in union with the commonwealth. But which part? I'm guessing parts of the Belarus, or possibly parts of northern Europe; I'm not clear on which, and thus pose the question here (of course, the stove could well be a bit of 17th century propaganda, as it were -- making the pretension that the mermaid was on par with the Vytis and the Eagle). Would love to know more. I presume that there is no chance at all that the mermaid is that of the Jurate and Kastytis legend, but given the age of the legend, and of the logo, I wonder ... linas ( talk) 21:09, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

A box over our article posted on October 2016 says:
I expanded the lede by mentioning another noble house said (in Curious Tales from the Middle Ages by Sabine Baring-Gould) to be descended from Melusine, the House of Luxembourg, and the lands over which they and the House of Lusignan ruled (to underline their notability).
I also added a second paragraph to the lede which summarizes the common features of stories about Melusine:

It's repeated many times through this article that many houses have claimed to be descended from Melusine, but are there any sources that claim a supposed lineage. Who do they claim were her children? EmilySarah99 ( talk) 09:56, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
Definitely never heard of this creature in Slavic folklore. Sounds like French only so it should not say European folklore as a whole. 102.117.77.223 ( talk) 09:17, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
