Talk:Cultural depictions of Abraham Lincoln

message: I am requesting a merger with the main Abraham Lincoln page. I see no point in keeping this list separate, and would appreciate user/editor comments on this.

replies: text: It's a gigantic list that includes info about South Park episodes. Those wanting to see trends of depiction regarding Abe will find this useful, but very little of it would be useful in the main article.  --  Zanimum 19:23, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: 'THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE"???---Abe is a virtual subtext in Frankenheimer's movie and there is no explanation of this in 1960-1969.  Why not???--johncheverly 18:45, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably because this is just your own interpretation, and not supported by any reliable sources. Wikipedia has policies requiring verifiability and prohibiting original research. See Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Saying that Lincoln is "a virtual subtext" in a film that has nothing to do with Lincoln is nothing but your own interpretation/point of view, and thus not appropriate to an encyclopedia. Now, if you were to find some reliable sources that made this connection and discussed it, it would be something that could be included. But we cannot include it based solely on your own interpretation of the film.--IllaZilla (talk) 19:35, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. It would need sources, like critical reviews; so, if they exist, we can discuss those. Alanscottwalker (talk) 22:31, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand the aggressiveness or emotion; typically, that is a sign that there is something wrong with the edits and sources. Alanscottwalker (talk) 17:17, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Manchurian Candidate

message: I proposed that the article be moved from Abraham Lincoln cultural depictions to Cultural depictions of Abraham Lincoln since most cultural depictions-related articles are titled in the latter order and it just sounds much cleaner and better. Thoughts? Katastasi and his talk page. 21:31, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Hi, 
Perhaps just a curiosum, but Ibsen wrote a poem on Lincoln's death:

Published 1871, IIRC.

message: Currently, the article says  - but with the book being published in February 1998, Scott had certainly completed writing and drawing it before the year began. This should be rephrased to:
:In Scott McCloud's 1998 graphic novel The New Adventures of Abraham Lincoln, the president seemingly returns to life in the present day;
I am not going to do this myself, as I have a COI with regards to McCloud (personal friend, and I have published some of his material), but I leave it as a suggestion for others, should they see fit. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:12, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
