"[Bradshaw's Down the Long wind trilogy] is an extremely inventive reinterpretation of the legend." It is really, really good (it was me who originally wrote the article about Bradshaw), but "extremely inventive" fails to be objective. What the trilogy does is it take the Arthurian legend and tries to strip it back to its Celtic roots, by removing anachronisms. I'm not sure how the entry should be re-worded, but the current wording is definitely unacceptable. -- Peter Knutsen 09:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I would like to suggest the addition of Courtway Jones version. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/480047.In_the_Shadow_of_the_Oak_King, There is something about the way these novels spoke to me when I read them years ago. I just thought it worth mentioning that Courtway (although not still in print) needed to be on this list. Natodd ( talk) 19:04, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
I know that the article is intended as an exhaustive list of Arthurian adaptations, but it gives no indications of which are the successful or influential ones: for starters, a good list would probably be Malory, Idylls of the King, Twain's satire, and White's ONCE AND FUTURE KING.

Some years ago, PBS's Once Upon a Classic series aired a British TV series regarding King Arthur. I don't know if it's on this page in some other context or not. John Carter 22:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
"Final Fantasy VII the final and greatest summon materia is "Knights of the Round" which has 12 knights striking an enemy with the last knight obviously being King Arthur through his extended entrance and grander appearance."
I read that this was Mordred once on the Final Fantasy Compendium forums. Can we be sure it's really Arthur? 66.63.86.156 18:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Arthur-and-the-Square-Knights.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 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.

I was at a loss of how to include this. It is essentially a One-shot_(comics) which includes the character of Merlin. As it has been edited out, twice :-), as "not an adaptation", I figured the answer was it truly didn't belong here. After refreshing my memory that the traveling backwards in time concept was from the The_Once_and_Future_King#Other_references_to_The_Once_and_Future_King, I realized it probably belongs there :-).-- Lent ( talk) 20:09, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Edward321 reverted two edits after my suggestion that an edit of mine he reverted was just as important to the list as two others. He took that to mean those should be removed too. My opinion is that an individual episode or group of episodes is a "work" and should find a place in this list. I later found information similar to mine, so mine was duplication of information already here. Once Upon a Time is being counted as a work, even though only a few episodes of the series are "based on Arthurian legends". At this point we don't know how many episodes, but in the fifth season, pretty much the entire second and third episodes and a lot of the first have been about Camelot. And the fourth episode will certainly be the same, and who knows how many more.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:53, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
The Modern literature section is far too long for a section with a more in-depth bibliography link. There are far too many works of questionable enduring notability. In my opinion, only the most notable works need be listed in this abbreviate form of the bibliography. — ★ Parsa ☞ talk 16:42, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
As has been suggested, it seems that this page has much in common with List of media based on Arthurian legends. It seems prudent to combine these pages unless there is any unforetold significant difference. MaddieKM ( talk) 01:38, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
Perhaps a set of criteria for inclusion should be specified for this list, and clearly spelled out in the list's lede paragraph or in an Edit Notice. I would recommend:
This is a list of notable works of literature. Inclusion should be limited to works where the work itself or the work's creator (author, director, composer, etc.) is already the subject of a Wikipedia article. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 18:00, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Similarly as I said on the Robin Hood Talkpage the film and TV section is/was a mess, like on the Robin Hood page on Film as TV was originally so the aim here in the film and TV section is to make similar clean up to clear up some confusions on what is what when it comes to these films and TV shows, whats live-action and whats animation? theatrical films vs tv films? foreign films vs English Language films? which films are faithful adaptions of the original legend, which films are based on derative work on the oriignal legend such as Prince Valiant etc, and what are modern retellings and and parodies.
