Talk:Cultural depictions of Napoleon

message: Why the opening "Napoleon (...) has become a worldwide cultural icon symbolizing strength, genius, and military and political power" is told to be needing a citation? Is it not a self-evident fact, if one just think about it? - Qarthadasht
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.

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)).

replies: text: 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.

thread_title:  [[Cultural depictions of Napoleon]]? 

message: 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?

message: A footnote says:
Napoleon's height was 5 ft 2 French inches according to Antommarchi at Napoleon's autopsy and British sources put his height at 5 foot and 4 British inches: both equivalent to 1.4 m
However in the text proper it says the 5ft 2 in French is 170 cm, which is not 1.4m. So, is he 140 cm or 170cm? Since the footnote is attached to the text in question, this seems remarkably inconsistent. (Especially since it also says 5 ft 2 in French is 5ft 7 n British, rather than 5 ft 4 in.) 128.164.108.37 (talk) 19:40, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
