I created this page because it would be very useful on wikipedia. These subjects should be researched and every red link on this list should turn blue. - User:ShadowyCaballero
This is ridiculous! Deciding what is esoteric and what is not is purely subjective. I propose immediate deletion.
- What are you talking about, anon? Most of the subjects meet both meanings of "Esoteric", being both obscure (which is quite objective) and related to various forms of occultism. --maru (talk) contribs 04:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Verudin Salon
What is Vedurin salon? It may well be in In Search of Lost Time, but what is it? What does it mean? Same goes for chez Guermantes. IS it an Italian translation thing or what? Somebody help me out here. - ShadowyCabal 07:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Red text?
I'm new, and not sure if I'm doing this discussion thing right. I have a question.
In the intro at the top of the article "List of esoteric subjects in Foucault's Pendulum," I'm confused about what the author means to say regarding text in red:
"...some links are fictitious or misspelled (in red). Other links refer to real things (in blue) that unfortunately have yet to be discussed online (in red)."
Could this be reworded to read as below, or am I still not getting it?
"...some links (in red) are fictitious, misspelled, or have yet to be discussed in Wikipedia. Other links (in blue) refer to real things."

[edit] Quotations
What are the quotes at the beginning of the first file Casaubon reads on Abulafia? Obviously "cantami o diva" is the Iliad, but what's "O che bella mattina di fine novembre"? It sounds terribly familiar but I can't place it. Roscelese 20:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguation
The lack of context in this list makes disambiguation impossible when there is more than one likely meaning. It is actually quite irritating. Someone else is welcome to take a stab at the link to carbuncle, which I split into different articles. My guess is that it is either talking about the abscess, the mythological creature or the gemstone. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kjkolb (talk • contribs) 08:06, 13 January 2007 (UTC).
