[edit] Symbolism and Symbolist
The articles Symbolism and Symbolist should be merged (-ist redirecting to -ism), and a disambiguation page should be set up at either Symbolism or Symbolism (disambiguation). The "See also" entries from Symbolism ought to be merged into the dab page, wherever it ends up.
Also, I find it odd that the Symbolist dab page uses symbolism to refer to the Protestant Christian doctrine that rejects transubstantiation, but the article Christian symbolism doesn't really mention this use of the word. How to fix this? --Quuxplusone 06:13, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm tossing in a red herring, however, I wonder whether or not the novel and the film The Da Vinci Code could be discussed in terms of Symbolism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DakotaGypsy (talk • contribs) 16:48, 21 May 2006
[edit] Need a definition for a symbol
What does a circle with a double cross on top mean??? Where does it come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.3.24.57 (talk) 20:12, 4 June 2006
[edit] The first sentence...
...is incomplete. The definition needs to be finished. For now, I'm inserting an ellipsis (...). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Video game fan11 (talk • contribs) 04:33, 2 September 2006
- The full intro has been restored. It was partially blanked by vandalism. — ERcheck (talk) 05:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
The paragraph on Language does not make sense. Vandalism?
[edit] Symbolism only with symbols?
Does the word symbolism only refer to representation of something using symbols? Can it be words representing something (like in literature), or is this a different concept (representative realism)? To me, representative realism and symbolism mean the same...?? Swannie 16:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
