This article deserves a review. When following the link from bad quarto I could make sense of what it says, but by itself it is not understandable. For example, it mentions First Folio without even mentioning Shakespeare first. --LodeRunner 03:49, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The only article linking here a Shakespeare article. Any discussion about the quarto in general should be on a quarto page, not the First quarto page, which should directly deal with the Bard, solely. Wrad 03:59, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

This article makes no sense to me, quite apart from its current contents. The “First Quarto” of what? The Q1 editions of a given publication should probably be discussed at the main page for that publication, Quartos in general in the Bookbinding article, and the False Folio on its own main page. Possible the “First/Second Quarto” articles should be merged to a single article (at Quarto or thereabouts) to expand upon the text of the relevant portion of the Bookbinding article. In either case I think the First Quarto and Second Quarto articles should be deleted. Xover 11:32, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this article has problems. I would be in favor of a move or merger, with this article discussing only Shakespeare's texts under some other title. Wrad 15:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
