Criteria for inclusion
Think carefully before adding anything to the list as things could rapidly bloat. If in doubt drop your idea in here first and we'll take a look (Emperor 14:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC))
I've just discovered this page after posting to Talk:Mark Twain and would like to suggest a model for improving and expanding this list. Last year while I raised Joan of Arc to featured article I created 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. Since both biographies are part of Wikipedia's Core Biographies project it might be a good idea to standardize this kind of presentation. The main difference is that I've included high culture such as public statues, plays, and operas as well as pop culture references. The Joan of Arc cultural page is also formatted and referenced according to featured list standards. Regards, Durova 18:50, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Why does everyone know "how" to portray Twain?
Was Twain's voice ever recorded, or his mannerisms ever captured in an early motion picture film? If not, it would be worth commenting upon the fact that nearly all actors have portrayed Twain in the same distinct way, voice plus mannerisms. 70.20.169.235 (talk) 15:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
