[edit] Assessment

To be consistent with our other articles, this needs a synopsis, infobox and (ideally) some history/background before it moves from stub to start class. It benefits an article to be listed as a stub, because then people can easily identify that it needs attention. -- Ssilvers 21:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I understood a stub to be an article that had only a few sentences. This show is just a series of vignettes with songs. Since there's no plot, you really can't write a synopsis of it. I mentioned the show's source (the book) and where it originated (Hartford) and I don't think there's anything else to add as far as history/background is concerned.

See my talk page for a reply to your earlier question. I am sorry to disagree with you, but there is much more to add. A simple google search will turn up reviews and articles about the show that can be cited, and more narrative background about how the show came to be written needs to be added. The vignettes need to be described in the Synopsis section. I'm afraid that Rockabye Hamlet‎, King of Hearts, and Charlie and Algernon‎ are all stubs. If you assess them as "start" articles, you make it harder for other editors to identify that these articles need more research and attention. It is good to add new stubs to Wikipedia, but it is helpful to point out the status of articles without grade inflation. -- Ssilvers 21:53, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
