I found '''[[:Image:73b4.jpg]]''' and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

== Another TV version? ==

I remember little about it, except that it was animated. It may have been from wannabe-Japanese company Saban. (They have adapted other fairy tales)
Nonetheless, what stuck out to me about it was that the Queen tries to kill Snow White by crushing her chest/suffocating her with a bodice lace she sells her. It knocks her out like the apple in the usual versions. Anyone have further information?


As a TV version, Rocky and Bullwinkle's Fractured Fairy Tale can be added to this list.

==Lead image==
Every image this article has gets deleted. We need a new permanent image. I want to get this article up to Feature Article status because I feel it has potential. --[[User:Jupiter Optimus Maximus|Jupiter Optimus Maximus]] ([[User talk:Jupiter Optimus Maximus|talk]]) 18:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
:The article has ''quite a few'' problems that need sorted before FA - no citations, the odd handling of the Grimm brothers (they didn't adapt it, they collected it; and the 'German version' ''is'' the Grimm version, but they get separate sections?) In any case, an image from an early illustrated Grimm's would work, eg [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Snow_White] (the Franz Jüttner ones are great, but I his pictures of the queen are less recognizable than the other characters. There's 3 of the queen:[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Franz_J%C3%BCttner_Schneewittchen_1.jpg] [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Franz_J%C3%BCttner_Schneewittchen_4.jpg] [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Franz_J%C3%BCttner_Schneewittchen_6.jpg]). There's this on Gutenberg: [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/19068/19068-h/images/illus-239.jpg] (thats in [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/19068/19068-h/19068-h.htm#illus-239], a reprint of a work published 1886). They also have this Dutch edition with fantastic drawings, no queen but worth a look: [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/22555/22555-h/22555-h.htm]. I'll add one to the page. [[User:Bazzargh|Bazzargh]] ([[User talk:Bazzargh|talk]]) 20:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
::Thank you, Bazzargh old friend. I was of the impression that the German version was a varient of the tale which was adapted by the Grimm Brothers. If not I'll remove the section on the original German fairytale. Thanks for downloading that image though if I may say so I don't think it's an ideal representation of the queen. After all it depicts her in her "hag" shape rather than her true form. --[[User:Jupiter Optimus Maximus|Jupiter Optimus Maximus]] ([[User talk:Jupiter Optimus Maximus|talk]]) 21:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
:::No, they collected the tales from storytellers. The first edition was a scholarly work; though they changed the tales a little when it took off as a kid's book (even the edited stories are much more bloodthirsty than the versions in kids books today!). I've just updated the Grimm section, I had a copy of the complete tales next to the computer, handily enough. As for the image; yes, well there's quite a few mirror-mirror pics on the commons, but they're not as pretty as this one, and the mirror doesn't look especially magical in any of them; the poisoned apple pic is a bit more identifiable I think. If you want to change it go ahead, but at least you're not cursed with non-free images now [[User:Bazzargh|Bazzargh]] ([[User talk:Bazzargh|talk]]) 21:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

== Dose Ever After High count as other media or TV series? ==

The Mattel franchise Ever After High feature's both an Evil Queen and her daughter who's fated to relive her footsteps, I couldn't see any mention of it on the page and I was wondering if anyone else though that adding it would be appropriate?

== In popular culture ==

To whom it may concern, I am working on completely restructuring the currently entitled "In derivative works" section to ensure all entries meet the Wikipedia guidelines for notability and reliable sourcing. Prior to my mass deletions there were redundancies, unsourced content, and a whole slew of entries that did not justify their own existence beyond "this character appeared". Items were also listed in alphabetical order, rather than chronological. Hopefully, the quality of this page will be increased when I am done, and I would appreciate any input or commentary in the meantime.

== Disaster of a page ==

In 2022, I worked to reduce the size of this article, as it was in horrible shape and did not live up to the expected standards for articles on Wikipedia. This encyclopedia is not intended to be a comprehensive collection of every detail of existence. We have standards. I had not revisited this page until today, and it looks like an anonymous user has undone all of this work, and honestly the page looks worse than it did. I am going to work to remove the unencyclopedic content; anyone is welcome to give input about what needs to stay or go.

I hope this isn't terribly controversial, and I hope to continue working to improve this page where needed.

You think that randomly chosen bullet list, including completely unnotable

*[[Girls Made of Snow and Glass]] by [[Melissa Bashardoust]] (2017) focuses on the relationship between Snow White and the Evil Queen, who is a complex, sympathetic character. Mina is a magician's daughter whose heart was magically replaced with one of glass. Her drive for political power, combined with manipulation by others, bring her into conflict with her stepdaughter Princess Lynet.

Is better than prose about the works by notable authors? No, it isn't.

And it's as non-notable as the many books and other works listed just above if you just scroll it up (also without their own articles), so it's not any "collection of every detail of existence" in the least - only the reasonably notable things from all the stuff people have added over the years (and even this was incomplete).

If you think it's too long, split it. If you see some specific problems with being "encyclopedic", list them. If you want to help, more copyedit would be useful.

I referenced the Disney character where you put "citation needed" (with 4 references), namely the inspirations for her.

Please don't turn it into a RANDOM bullet list again.

:For every single literary character article I have seen on the encyclopedia, where said character was then adapted into television, film, video game, or theater, these are always presented in bullet point form. The emphasis of a character article needs to be scholarly discussion regarding the character, not devoting 2/3 of the article to mostly non-notable adaptations (see [[WP:FANCRUFT]], [[MOS:WAF]], and the guidelines cited throughout [[WP:TLDR]]).

This Article needs to be rethought out.

[edit]

The list of films and honestly all adaptions should probably resemble more the current article for Fairy Godmother. Just a list and like maybe a little blurb about it? Idk im new to this but like there's so much info on this page for these movies that have their own wikipedia pages??? Also the only sources for a lot of it is 2 books.
