Text and/or other creative content from this version of Les Misérables was copied or moved into Adaptations of Les Misérables with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Untitled

Hi all, as discussed [here], we want to take Les Misérables to GA. One of the things that we deemed necessary was to split the adaptations section to its own article, Adaptations of Les Misérables.

So this is what I've done:

I created the new article
I took the content of the section over to the new article
I wrote a summary for the original section
I added an image highlighting one of the most famous adaptations
I wrote a first version of the lead of the new article. This lead will definitely need expansion.
I added to the new article all the images from the adaptations that, for obvious reasons, we couldn't add when the section was still part of the main article

If there are any issues, problems, or anything I missed, please let me know. Azylber (talk) 10:46, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Use of bold in opening sentence

What's wrong with this opening sentence?

Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables has been the subject of many adaptations in various media since its original publication in 1862.

The title of the novel needs to be italicized. That's a clear rule. Like this:

Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables has been the subject of many adaptations in various media since its original publication in 1862.

We are *not* supposed to use wikilinks in the material we bold as the entry's name. That's another straightforward rule. Therefore:

Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables has been the subject of many adaptations in various media since its original publication in 1862.

The use of bold to match the entry "Adaptations of Les Misérables" is optional and depends on whether or not the phrase or a close approximation of the phrase appears in the opening. In this case, the phrase is both broken and the words do not appear in the same order as they do in the entry's name. This is a judgment call, but this:

Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables has been the subject of many adaptations in various media since its original publication in 1862.

seems far better than having just the words "Les Misérables" and "adaptations" in bold, separated by 6 words *and* without the wikilinks that are quite useful here, especially linking the title of the novel. The wikilink for adaptations, on the other hand, is poor. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 23:52, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to explain all this. I am ok with the current version as you've made it now. I thought it was necessary to bold everything from the lead sentence that is contained in the article title, not because I've actually read the rules (which I haven't) but because I've seen so many articles that seem to follow that convention. I think it's fine now. Azylber (talk) 05:46, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1989 Vietnamese movie(s)

As far as I can tell the two movies listed there are indeed the same movie. A youtube upload lists one Hồ Ngọc Xum as director and Việt Linh as a screenwriter. Could someone who actually speaks Vietnamese confirm this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.5.76.225 (talk) 16:55, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Has been confirmed and changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.191.228.21 (talk) 11:14, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Aa mujo (1964)

I originally added this movie (a few years ago) based on its inclusion in the list of Les misérables adaptations found in the Japanese wikipedia (with Yamagata Isao as the main character). Recently, I found that this movie is now missing from the Japanese wikipedia list. Trying to google it results only in wiki clones. Does this movie actually exist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.191.228.21 (talk) 11:20, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adaptations of adaptations

There are reliable sources that say The Fugitive is a loose adaptation of Les Misérables... but listing adaptations of The Fugitive too? Adaptations of adaptations should not be included. Bright☀ 18:55, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1966 Gavrosh animation

Does the 1966 Gavrosh animation exist? I added the 1986 'Gavrosh' Soviet animation short just now, but have never been able to find a 1966 one, so I'm wondering if it's the same one but with the wrong date? Or if not, does anyone have any more details about the 1966 animation? Thanks! Monsieurmabeuf (talk) 16:57, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I just received evidence that it does exist and is different to 1986!! Monsieurmabeuf (talk) 01:16, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concerts

I'm wondering what the criteria for inclusion should be here? I've also watched the 1997 Chelmsford open-air concert and 1989 Sydney Australia Day concert. Recordings do exist of both of these concerts on Youtube, but I don't know if they were ever officially released (at least not in the same way the 3 concerts which are listed were).
