Images

I assume there aren't any images/posters of this film?

Going to place on hold for now. good888 (talk) 12:52, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the plot summary be in a block quote? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:00, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I dislike block quotes because they are distracting and are not a requirement. I have not found any image stills or posters for the film, otherwise I would have included it. I also dislike how common the errors with stage productions being labeled "photoplays" shows up in books. I did some checking with two very prominent errors in the St. Elmo article, but none seem to be mislabeled for this one. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:53, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was just suggesting, not decreeing. I am also unable to put in block quotes, as they seem to have done something to the template. In any event, I was just asking, and its not a burning issue for me. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:11, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - you've reviewed my articles before and I know you mean well. I'm not objecting over ownership issues or anything, but I do understand the sentiment to use them. I just never seen them used in plot summaries and they really draw the eye away in sections where they do exist. Personally... I dislike block quotes for that reason.

Thanks 7&6=thirteen for the edits you have made to this article! And thanks ChrisGualtieri for uploading a poster of this film and all the other edits you have made! With all issues addressed, I am promoting to GA class. good888 (talk) 09:28, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Black listed site[edit]

Black listed site and the Italian first film. Comprehensive Guide to Jane Eyre Adaptations By Painted Seahorse October 24, 2012 http://FILLER paintedseahorse.hubpages.com/hub/FILLER Comprehensive-Guide-to-Jane-Eyre-Adaptations first American (and second worldwide) I rather think this is an important discussion in this single article, which I would like to have not blacklisted as I think it would benefit this article. I put in the words FILLER so that this would not be left on the cutting room floor. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 01:06, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I don't think hubpages is going to get listed when I am citing the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia for the same information. It may not be the best and most clear citation, but I think the source I am using is more than adequate to say something exists. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:45, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That black-listed site says: "The first American film adaptation was released in 1910, and it was a silent picture. I say first American film adaptation, because Italy released a silent film adaptation in 1909 (“The Enthusiast’s Guide to Jane Eyre Adaptations”)" 7&6=thirteen (☎) 03:01, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Only question I have is why this source when the one being used states: "The first known film of "Jane Eyre" came out as a silent Italian movie in 1909."[1] Same information and it corrects an omission in a few other publications and indexes. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 06:00, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's cumulative. But there is static about the sources at DYK, and its existence is probative. A straw in the pile. 10:57, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

DYK is icky - I would have gone with Edwin Thanhouser crediting this film as the one that secured the success of the company. The 1909 Italian production is something even I have very little on. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 17:07, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking fist American/English language movie version of the novel... You are right about DYK. But it is what it is, and we can't change the course. Only how we play it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:30, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
