Game[edit]

Any reason no mention of the game based upon the novel?--Surv1v4l1st (Talk|Contribs) 23:46, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TV U.S. 1990 with Michael Caine[edit]

It says the 1990 TV version is "four-hour, two-part". I'm pretty sure that is incorrect. IMDb says 96 min. It was uploaded as a 94.44 min video to YouTube in March 2011, so 96 min. is probably correct. If nobody objects, I think it can be changed in the article. --82.171.70.54 (talk) 15:33, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Altered States[edit]

In browsing through the list, it was good to see 1963's The Nutty Professor was included.  Yet, I noticed that 1980s' Altered States was not (yet) included.  Methinks it merits being added to the list.  allixpeeke (talk) 22:20, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article is becoming a promotional list full of items that don't pass Notability Guidelines[edit]

The lead claims that notable examples are listed in the body. However, the majority of entries do not have citations/references that speak to their notability. Anything remotely connected to the Jekyll and Hyde characters is being inserted.

Also, the major subsections are supposed to only contain adaptations of the novella. Items that don't adapt the novella should be under "Appearances in other fiction", but that doesn't seem to be the case. This article needs massive cleanup. — Samatict (talk) 00:52, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Adaptation"[edit]

I think this article suffers from not having any clear understanding of what an "adaptation" is. A literary adaptation is a reworking of the source material, not simply a mention of the source's name or the appearance of a single character in an otherwise unrelated story. Nor is the re-use of a generic concept, such as multiple personalities, an adaptation. So if a song has a line that compares the singer's crazy ex to Jekyll and Hyde, that is not an adaptation or even an appearance -- it is a mention. If a character named "Dr. Jekyll" appears briefly in a TV show, but the story is not about that character, that is an appearance but not not an adaptation; if that character doesn't experience any transformation or second personality that would relate them to the source character, then it is just an allusion. If these distinctions were followed, I believe several entries in the article currently would be either relocated or removed. --RL0919 (talk) 18:54, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 30 March 2018[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. However, I would suggest that it's insufficient to argue that Wikipedia should ignore internal WP:CONSISTENCY on the grounds that popular usage has varied in the past, so this issue may be worth revisiting in the future.

Adaptations of Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde → Adaptations of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde – To maintain consistency with the article on the source novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, which has no punctuations. --Kailash29792 (talk) 03:50, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose and suggest Jekyll & Hyde in popular culture (or similar) - This list includes a lot of adaptations, especially early films, but seems to have grown to include pop culture references which just mention "Jekyll & Hyde" in passing, are vague re-tellings or just similar stories, as well as a section on spoofs and parodies. I'd say we accept that course and keep the page broad, but also make the title more WP:PRECISE and WP:CONCISE. -- Netoholic @ 12:48, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Punctuation and capitalization were very loosely observed in the past centuries and may have differed from publisher to publisher throughout the English-speaking world. It would not be appropriate to apply such outdated standards towards modern-day usage. Even a poster (appended at the top of the article) from the same decade as the work itself, uses the punctuated form.    Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:39, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
