"add in 1969, A play by Peter Stone and Sherman Edwards about the 2nd Continental Congress and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, '1776', was released starring William Daniels to play as John Adams. The musical would later inspire the movie to later come out in 1972 (also starring William Daniels as John Adams). both the movie and musical depict John Adams as the main protagonist [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1776_(musical)%7C musical]]
.to In 2008, a miniseries was released based on the McCullough biography, featuring Paul Giamatti as Adams.[1]"
Personally, I'm not convinced these are notable enough for inclusion in an already long featured article. Figures as prominent as Adams receive countless media portrayals, and covering all of them will turn the article into a list. This is why we have a separate List of memorials to John Adams page, which already covers these. Jamedeus (talk) 07:17, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Randy Kryn, a few days ago, you added an artist's name to a caption in the article and were reverted by Nikkimaria, who cited MOS:CREDITS in their edit summary. I have lost track of how many times now you have attempted to add a reference to an artist's name in a caption on this article only to get reverted, usually but not exclusively by Nikkimaria. I don't know what it is about adding the names of artists in captions that causes you to continually do it over and over despite continuously being reverted, as it seems to me like a fairly trivial thing to become obsessed about. But the back and forth pattern needs to stop. Thank you. Display name 99 (talk) 14:20, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Artist name – linked for at least their first caption, except where the article is a biography. The name should not be in bold text."
This guiding language gives due credit to the creator of the image, the artist. In this case the artist is Gilbert Stuart, whose portraits of the American Founding Fathers, along with those of John Trumbull, literally defines how the world remembers and recognizes their appearance. Giving due credit to Gilbert Stuart here seems encyclopedic and accurate, and improves the page, per guideline. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:49, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It says except where the article is a biography. I also wish to draw your attention back to MOS:CREDITS, which says not to include the author's name in the caption unless relevant to the subject. Here, it isn't. You're always welcome to try to have policy changed, but for now, I think that I agree with Nikkimaria that the artists' names should be omitted.

The wording "excerpt where the article is a biography" pertains to the artist's own biographical article (in this case, Gilbert Stuart' s). The visual arts guideline and credits guideline seem equally applicable, and the relevance to the subject, Adams, comes from the fact that he is defined by this notable artwork.
