Wanderlust survived vfd. See: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Wanderlust -- Wile E. Heresiarch 04:01, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

This article is a disgrace to wikipedia. I am surprised how it survived this long. At best it sounds like a dictionary entry and nothing more. Please delete.

The Germans, as a people, love the outdoors and highly value pristine, undisturbed natural surroundings, and attempt to keep human disturbances to a minimum -- Can anybody shout out loud "cliché" for me?

Just what I thought, when I read this. I'm a 17 years old German and I think that this sentence is completely wrong. As far as I can see, only about 5 percent of all Germans, especially those who are 60 and older, still think like that.

Speaking from personal experience, it does increase at you can older, and can easily grip you as you approach 30. At your age, I didn't care for wandering either...  ;) - Jürgen Hubert

Perhaps someone knows a bit about the television show on comedy central, Gerhard Reinke's: Wanderlust. It was a funny travel show, with a bit of screwball comedy. I'm going to put up a link and start something, but I'll need help. M@$+@ Ju 14:55, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

the de:Wanderlust article is about the email and newsreader - Adam Mathias 23:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not anymore. Maikel (talk) 18:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does this line "A World of Warcraft end-game raiding guild on the US Whisperwind server (located at [3])" really belong here? It sounds like someone plugging their guild. Mathiastck 00:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did not list it, but it has just as much reason to be there as the other listings, if you claim that someone is plugging a guild, then any of the other listings can be construed as a plug. FiftyOneWicked 12:35, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This entry has apparently, and rightfully, been removed. Maikel (talk) 18:12, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should not be deleted, because that is denying people knowledge of the meaning of the term. I happen to suffer wanderlust, and probably wouldn't have come here unless that were true. it needs cleaning up for sure, but should not be deleted. it is redeemable. --Paaerduag 13:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As per Wiki ettiquite, just saying I added that Wanderlust is also a name of a Delays song. --Jessikins 03:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's an etiquette in Wikipedia?!? Maikel (talk) 18:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, this article needs reform. Unless anyone opposes change, I will make a disambiguation article out of this, instead of having a huge random list of possible meanings. The word as it is described on this page will maintain the article name Wanderlust but the other meanings will be moved to Wanderlust (disambiguation). --Ludvig 17:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like the result. Mathiastck 23:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is that external link right? It’s leading me to a page about cuckoo clocks. S.dedalus 04:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The link to the Wikipedia article, "Wander" should not be included in this article, unless the "Wander" artice is further developed (or a disambiguation page is created) so as to acquire the meaning that is in relation to what this article is talking about. As of now, the link points to an artice about the telecommunications term "wander" as opposed to the act of wandering. Besides, "wander" more something that one would look for in a dictionary (like wiktionary) than in an encyclopedia.

- I agree, it should like to a disambiguation page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.125.46 (talk) 04:50, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page has been transwikied to Wiktionary. The article has content that is useful at Wiktionary. Therefore the article can be found at either here or here (logs 1 logs 2.) Note: This means that the article has been copied to the Wiktionary Transwiki namespace for evaluation and formatting. It does not mean that the article is in the Wiktionary main namespace, or that it has been removed from Wikipedia's. Furthermore, the Wiktionarians might delete the article from Wiktionary if they do not find it to be appropriate for the Wiktionary. Removing this tag will usually trigger CopyToWiktionaryBot to re-transwiki the entry. This article should have been removed from Category:Copy to Wiktionary and should not be re-added there.

It should be deleted, the usage and definition of the term just go to the disambig page, since the major part of this page is copied from that disambig page. Mallerd (talk) 09:50, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"It is not a simple desire, it takes whole body and soul in such an unrest sequence of events, first starting with a tension in the muscles, or legs or even the entire body, that takes the one to a need of walking around, not short walking, but very long ones"

First of all, this sentence doesn't even make sense, it's poorly written, and beyond that the mention of "soul" is completely out of place. Why is this the article's opening? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.141.110.185 (talk) 17:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because people like you and me don't change it. Also, whats with the Yiddish tag, thought it said Middle High German —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 08:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have rewritten the articles and consequently removed two tags calling for Wikification and a cleanup. Hope you like it.

I've left in the Yiddish category tag as Yiddish is, after all, a German language (you throw the first stone) so that classification is at least plausible (ouch!). Maikel (talk) 18:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be removed and just put in German. I don't really see how this is strictly about Yiddish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.179.66.22 (talk) 16:45, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

„Wanderlust“ is out of use, right. But „Fernweh“ isn't also widely use anymore. IMHO there is no contemporary word in german. „Reiselust“ (desire to travel) and „Reisefieber“ (literal „travel fever") are in use, but they do not describe the same thing as „Wanderlust“. --Walter Koch (talk) 10:09, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
