Fair use rationale for Image:Napoleon1927Gance.jpg

Image:Napoleon1927Gance.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All movie guide differnet information

It says 235 minutes while Wikipedia says 330 minutes - which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.129.239.143 (talk) 02:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Napoleon exists in several versions now. Brownlow's first restored edition was cut for the Coppola edition. Since that time more footage has been found and edited in, so it is now longer than the first restoration- though not as long as the original film.

Rights wrangle sorted

The 2012 San Francisco showings of the fullest version, with an up-to-date matching score by Carl Davis, are not only good news but imply that the rights wrangle with Coppola has been resolved. Does anybody know how? This also means that there is no bar to the release, AT LAST, of a DVD of the fullest reconstruction, tinted properly, played at the correct speed, and with the Davis score. Does anybody know if such a DVD is planned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.53.69.150 (talk) 18:53, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Timings

The article presently claims that the 1983 Channel 4 showing lasted 4 hrs 50 mins at 20fps. I've no idea how many fps it was shown at but it lasted 5 hrs 13 mins because I recorded it on videotape and still have it. This calls into question the other 20fps/4:50 assertions in the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.53.69.150 (talk) 07:32, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you perhaps including the ad breaks ?Andrew G. Doe (talk) 05:41, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

18fps

At the Royal Festival Hall screening on 30 November 2013, selected scenes totalling approx 25 minutes during the first two reels of Act One were shown at 18fps, on the instructions of the restorers. This will have added slightly to the runtime. The Philips projectors used at this and many other 35mm silent screenings in London are specially modified to run at a range of speeds at the flick of a switch. Everything after the first 28m51s was run at 20fps.

Cleanup and Expansion

This article is poorly developed and requires significant cleanup and rewrites. The lead section is poorly developed and needs to be rewritten. The article is also missing important information on the film's production which needs to be added to the article with proper citations given for its information. The article is also poorly formatted with it's information scattered all over the place, and needs to be organized properly in the correct order shown in the Manual of Style for Film articles. The article's infobox has an image that is not the film's theatrical release poster, consisting of an image of the actor in character. This should be replaced with the proper image of the film's theatrical release poster. The reception section is way too short and needs to be expanded in more detail than what it currently is. There is so much work that needs to be done to this article in order for it to meet Wikipiedia's guidelines and standards of a well developed and properly sourced article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:48, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
