Wikipedia guidlines discourage Trivia sections: "Avoid creating lists of miscellaneous facts". Just because someone is mentioned elsewhere is no justification for including it in an article. Articles are not supposed to be exhaustive collections of minutiae, of everything anyone can think of about a subject. Please resist the temptation. Same applies to a "Pop Culture" reference that's no less trivial. — J M Rice (talk) 16:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the short bibliography section, because I thought the template was a more adequate and organized list.--AppaAliApsa (talk) 04:54, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Now that I have created a Maeterlinck template, does anyone else think that the Short bibliography section of the page is necessary? --AppaAliApsa (talk) 12:47, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
"He began to study mysticism and lambasted the Catholic church in his essays for construing the history of the universe." I'm sure this can't be what the author of this article meant, but I can't work out what he did mean. Misconstruing, perhaps? Лудольф (talk) 14:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
You'll find some great stuff about Maeterlinck and Sam Goldwyn in Hollywood in a book of screenwriter memories, Schmucks With Underwoods. I'd do it myself but I'm marking term papers. Best, Profhum (talk) 21:05, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Is there any more information about what became of Leblanc, the first actress? Or anything about how he responded to the accusations of plagiarism? 122.163.206.66 (talk) 07:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
From the text I gather that Maeterlinck got the idea of his book from an article form Marais publised in the Dutch press. Is that it? If so, many people (actually, most people) would not regard that as plagiarism. If that is the case, and since no court-case was won against Maeterlinck (not even brought forward, apparently) and no one has ever heard again of that Marais, while Maeterlinck is a well established author... Wouldn't it be more sensible to downgrade a little bit the plagiarism section? It so dominates the article that it seems that's the most interesting thing about Maeterlinck. WP is an encyclopedia, not a gossip magazine, and I have never seen any encyclopedia give such prominence to these(at least dubious) claims. By the way, who's the guy providing the only quote claiming "academic plagiarism"? Never heard of him either. Is he an authority? On what, exactly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.213.205.18 (talk) 00:04, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Article cites two or more quotations from a reference work given solely as 'Cole (1980)'. --Jumbolino (talk) 08:03, 7 October 2011 (UTC) From the text I gather that Maeterlinck got the idea of his book from an article form Marais publised in the Dutch press.

Having said all that, I changed the heading of the section. pietopper (talk) 14:04, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
How come he was a Fleming, being born in a French speaking family? --Jidu Boite (talk) 05:32, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
