Talk:Emilio Salgari

Large cuts
I cut everything that was a copyright violation from either or, which comprised roughly half the article. I attempted to summarize anything notable that was there, but didn't bother re-inserting mentions of his prominent fans unless there was a claim that Salgari was a significant influence on them. I cut nearly all of the "See also". They seemed to have nothing to do with Salgari other than being writers in the same genre at roughly the same time, and no claim was made of any association with them. I also removed Category:Italian science fiction writers as it was not said that he wrote science fiction -- in fact, it explicitly says he did not. A number of commercial links were removed as well.

 * Good work! Even if there hadn’t been copyright issues it would have improved the article. But I am glad that the photo remains! —Ian Spackman 03:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * You, sir, are one of those from whom a good word is most valuable. Thank you. TCC (talk) (contribs) 20:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * What exactly were these supposed copyright violations? You guys seem to be missing Salgari's "Duemila Leghe sotto l'America" (Milan 1888)

A contradiction?
The article states that «At present only four titles have been translated into English.» but in the bibliography there are more than four titles in English. Why?--Dejudicibus (talk) 12:35, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Only six books "available in English", yet Bibliography lists ten more English titles...
Are these translations of the titles only, or WERE these books once available, or...? -- megA (talk) 15:56, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Science Fiction
The article, as well as the article science fiction, claim that Salgari is regarded as the father of italian science fiction. I find this to be quite a substantial claim, which definitely needs to be explained in much more detail somewhere in the article. At the moment the rest of the article has no mention of science fiction whatsoever, and with the notable exception of "Le meraviglie del Duemila" being marked as concerned with time travel, a reader interested in works of science fiction is left quite helpless between masses of pirates on one side and hordes of unspecified travelling adventurers on the other. --BjKa (talk) 22:33, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
