That was interesting. So Germans did not have any folklore? How come?--Wiglaf 13:55, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Since it seems very strange that the German folklore would be an invention while there are folklores such English folklore and Scandinavian folklore, I add an POV tag.--Wiglaf 10:26, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed! Von Herder gave it a boost, but that's a detail for later in the article. Examples of topics that ought to go in: elves, dwarves, kobolds, the Lorelei and Rhine maidens, Holda, Perchta, the Erl-King, the Wild Hunt and Honest Eckart, the Nibelung Lied and other Teutonic folklore (plus its relation to Norse folklore), the Pied Piper of Hamelin, the Bremer Stadtmusikanten, the Knecht Ruprecht, Walpurgisnacht and the Brocken witches, the Osterhaase, the Lutzelfrau, the Brothers Grimm, Wagner... --Raygirvan 7 May 2005
I see that you have started with it and you're doing a good job. I hope you will continue with the article :)--Wiglaf 22:28, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. That should do for a starter draft. RayGirvan 00:11, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was a Dutch story and supposed to take place in Holland. Please explain quickly, I need to do a report on this. If you can help, I also need help with Finnish, English, French, Irish, and Turkish mythology. Help would be greatly appreciated, ASAP!!!--ForestAngel 14:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
