Not as that anyone who hasn't read the book would notice -- Orlando is actually about the history of English Literature. He becomes a 'she' as women become to figure more importantly in the world of Letters.
[edit] True or false??
True or false: this article belongs at Orlando (disambiguation) with Orlando being a re-direct to Orlando, Florida. 66.245.18.193 15:03, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Moved most of the topics to the new disambiguation page - however, I tried to keep everything connected to what appears to be the 'root' meaning of Orlando on the Orlando page itself. (Orlando, Florida, was named after a guy who had Orlando as first name, who normally would have gotten his first name as a far derivation from Orlando/Roland character). So no automatic "redirect" to Florida please: when checking "what links here" non-"Orlando, Florida" references appeared quite frequent (I already adapted several of these so they would direct to the correct article directly). I suppose outside Florida (or US?) Orlando is probably more often used not to refer to the American city. Orlando is a very central theme in the whole of Renaissance culture, and the Orlando novel is one of the absolute "musts" of 20th century literature, etc... --Francis Schonken 10:02, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- 66.167.139.240 03:57, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC): Even after some clean up done by User:Francis Schonken and myself, it's clear that there are a lot more contributions to Wikipedia that use Orlando to refer to Orlando, Florida instead of Orlando (character) (blame Disney World, perhaps). For now, I've simply created Orlando (character) and redirected Orlando to it, as a compromise. Having the character in a separate article makes it easier to deal with later, as contributions continue.

- Minor adjustments:
- -> Orlando: redirect to disambig page seems more logical now;
- -> Re-grouped disambig page, City on top;
- -> Orlando (character): always: AND MUSIC...

[edit] Orlando (name)
To be more in line with what the other name articles are like, I made a red link near the top of this article for Orlando (name). Ideally this would talk about the origins of the name, etc. Also, I've removed the list of the people named Orlando from here, as they would go in that Orlando (name) article. I might create a stub later, but, you know, maybe not. Recury 18:47, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
