It would be nice if, when citing translations, people would mention the translator rather than, or in addition to, the publisher. To me, Hooker's is the only True Translation; others may have other favorites. Knowing who did the translation would be helpful, and could avoid confusion when relying on translations. For instance, Hooker reuses the line "And why so great a no?" with excellent effect in the final scene, but this recapitulation just isn't in the French original. GMcGath 14:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Error in image caption
The edition shown cannot possibly be from 1972. This is Gérard Depardieu in the movie "Cyrano", and that's much later than 1972. --69.196.167.254 15:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
You can clearly see on the cover that it is a book. They just took Depardieu's face for it since the movie has been out since a while when this cover has been released and that everybody associated Depardieu to Cyrano de Bergerac. Please see Cyrano de Bergerac (1990 film) for the movie starring Depardieu. --Deenoe 23:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Movies and other adaptations
Should we break out a "Trivia" section? Some of the references cited in the section are very tangential. GMcGath 17:10, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sound and Fury Update
"Sound & Fury, a Los Angeles-based comedy trio will present their parody of the play, called "Cyranose!" in L.A. at Café-Club Fais Do-Do in September 2007." This either is or soon will be out of tense. 9/24/2007. Unregistered user who has no idea how to adapt to a style sheet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.41.53.33 (talk) 04:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cyranoplay.jpg
Image:Cyranoplay.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 ensure 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Valvert is not described as dying in the play
mortally wounding him as he ends the refrain (as promised) : There is absolutely nothing in the play suggesing that Valvert dies. The only obvious thing is that he is a state not alllowing him to fight or speak anymore, nothing more, nothing less. 212.198.154.73 (talk) 00:41, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
