-:There is more info on the characters upon which Dracula might have been based in the [[Dracula]] article. See also [[Dracula in popular culture]]. And just to say that though the article is small, just three months ago it didn't exist at all, and there were some editors who wanted to strangle it at birth! I grant it could be expanded: as long as that doesn't just mean witless padding or a relentlessly long plot summary of the novel (for which see [[Dracula]]).

-== Count Dracula ==
-im just saying that if eney of you did not know,count dracula was the first of his kind.some people even think that he is also a daywalker. people also belive that aside from turning into a bat or mist he may also turn into hi last kill. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/12.75.19.162|12.75.19.162]] ([[User talk:12.75.19.162|talk]]) 01:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->
-== You've missed someone ==
-In the break down of the plot of Bram Stokers novel it lists the heros who head to Carefax Abbey, the list has missed off Lord Godalming.I would edit this myself but I am druid-like in my understand of computums. If someone could facilitate this it would be most appriciated
-*edit* I've worked it now and fixed it!! Hurrah for me
-== Rationale of this article ==
-Just to repeat that this article is about the fictional character 'Count Dracula' who appears (along with other characters, most of whom also have their own seperate wikipedia articles) in the novel of the same name by Bram Stoker. ''[[Dracula (novel)]]'' has its own article. There is also a separate article: '[[Dracula in popular culture]]' for later adaptations. [[User:Colin4C|Colin4C]] 10:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
-== Dracula base name article ==
-A discussion that may be of interest to editors here is ongoing at [[Talk:Dracula (novel)]]. -- [[User:JHunterJ|JHunterJ]] 02:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
-== Bela, where are you? ==
-The title explains it all. You have Christopher Lee here, but not Bela Lugosi? What a shame.
