Bremen to Bonn[edit]

He moves from Bremen to Bonn? I thought he was from Transylvania and moved to Bremen. -Branddobbe 10:56, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

That's right. I changed it.

Original research?[edit]

The second paragraph does not cite its sources and seems to make several NPOV/reviewer-like statements which are unencyclopedic. I propose to shorten or delete it. Wachholder0 20:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Pop Culture[edit]

All of that stuff is already covered in the main Nosferatu article.87.102.23.51 23:16, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Nosferatuisabauskinski.jpg[edit]

Image:Nosferatuisabauskinski.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The Master[edit]

Is it safe to say that the Master from Buffy is also based off Orlok's appearance? Howa0082 01:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

possible origin of name "Orlok"[edit]

In dracula a description of the carpathian peoples includes a certain bloodline call the "orvloks". I'm not sure if this is the inspiation for the counts name in nosferatu so I don't want to add this to the article until I see other peoples opinions. ¥CALL OF CTHULHU¥ 23:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Based on?"[edit]

Is it really accurate to say that the design of Klaus Kinski's character in 'Nosferatu the Vampyre' is 'based on' Count Orlok, given that 'Nosferatu the Vampyre' is a remake of the original 'Nosferatu'?--MythicFox (talk) 00:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why not. A remake is, by definition, based on the original film. Ribbet32 (talk) 00:21, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Unreferenced Content[edit]

When removing unreferenced content, please either remove all such content or at least provide references for what you intend to keep. -- 4.153.82.97 (talk) 05:26, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
