Why is Napoleon Dynamite listed here? It has nothing to with with the Emperor. -Qtoktok


Why, throughout this article, is he referred to sometimes as Napoleon and sometimes as Napoléon? As someone asked in the discussion of the main Napoleon article, why is he referred to there consistently as Napoléon, with the accent? This is not the way his name is normally written (or pronounced) in English, which is the language used for this particular version of the Wikipedia? I wish someone would clear this up.

Is a Google search suitable as a footnote link? If so, how can they be formatted more tidily?? Her Pegship 04:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural depictions of Napoleon?

I see that Napoleon already has a cultural page. A model that may improve this page is Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc, which has become a featured list. Recently I also created Cultural depictions of Alexander the Great out of material that had been deleted from the biography article. I'm encouraging a more standardized approach to cultural lists for Wikipedia's core biographies. Regards, Durova 17:20, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking of having two seperate articles. Napoleon in popular culture deals with the steortypical image of Napoleon (for exampel Jack of All Trades) and Napoleon in fiction dealing with more serious portraits (for exampel Waterloo (film)). Carl Logan 18:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This seems to be the first effort to standardize cultural list information about famous people. The distinction between popular culture and high culture can get hazy. For instance, film references to Joan of Arc range from an acclaimed 1928 silent film to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Ultimately I decided to keep everything on one page. If you'd like to see how other core biographies are handling this matter, visit my worksheet at User:Durova/Cultural depictions of core biography figures.

Films about

Shouldn't we also have films here that are genuinely about Napoleon? e.g. (cut from the main Napoleon article)

  • Monsieur N. a film about the last years of Napoleon and the mystery of his death (French-English co-production)

or even more so, the famous biographical film by Abel Gance? - Jmabel | Talk 00:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
