"In this form, modern stagecraft is a highly technical and specialized field, with many sub-diciplines and a vast trove of history and tradition, far too vast to be discussed here.'" Let's get to work, then.
What, may I ask, is a "theatrical property?" I'm taking it down because I'm not quite sure of what it means.
- And now it's difficult to find your destructive "downtake" since you haven't signed your entry here, or I would revert it. "Theatrical properties", "props" for short, are portable objects used on stage, e. g. furniture. Stage requisites. It's a common word to use about stagecraft, so it was appropriate in this article. If you choose to edit articles about subjects you're not familiar with, don't delete words just because they're new to you personally. Bishonen 18:36, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
In my edit, I removed Parentheses, not commas. Just to clarify. A wee bit tired here :).

"Customized classics" are a range of "editions" that will put your picture on the cover, add a happy ending to Romeo and Juliet, and replace the names in the texts with the names of your choice: "Oh, Brad, Brad, wherefore art thou Brad?" You can get a customized edition of Moby Dick, with either Ahab or Moby bearing your own name. I'm trying hard to suppose that such links are added in good faith, and not as vandalism. But try to imagine EB referring to this type of product in its articles about literary classics! Wikipedia is a serious encyclopedia too. I've removed one of those links on this page, just as I've removed the same user's nonsense text in Romance novel and Romantic fiction. Bishonen 18:36, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Couple of Queries
Why were all the links "Excellent"? That's not fact. I've removed all the hyperbole. Also, is Stagecraft an "art"? Or is it a "craft"? Or both? Either way, that's not the best way to describe it. Bryson430 23:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
