[edit] Secondary sources

This article needs some literary criticism from secondary sources. (Looks like you have some! Good!) Referencing material from wikiquote probably isn't a good idea either. Use an off-wiki version of the play. Wrad (talk) 18:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Is this better?

I've changed the references to it. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 18:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep. What are these "Matthew Humberstone School" refs? Wrad (talk) 18:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

That's things I learnt at school. It's not original research because it was published in a textbook I can't remember the name of. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 19:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

When I get back to school next week I'll find out. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 19:07, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

What infobox template should I use for this page? Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 20:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

We don't really use infoboxes for Shakespeare characters. Wrad (talk) 20:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, it might be a good idea to make one though. I can't properly but if someone can it might improve all articles on Shakespeare characters. Just an idea. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 20:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I've made one specifically for this article. I made a bit of a mess of it but it's better than nothing. If anyone can make it better please do. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 21:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About character articles

For ideas on how to improve this article, have a look at these guidelines Wrad (talk) 21:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Done that. I've made the sections but they're too short to qualify as real sections. Can anyone add to them? Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 21:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

The origin section's just about long enough now but the performance history's still amazingly short. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 17:33, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This needs moving

It should be at Stephano (Shakespeare) - ie with a space before the opening bracket. Because that page has two history entries it can't be moved simply, but this page should redirect there, not the other way around as now. Loganberry (Talk) 21:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I made a typing mistake when making the page. I can't move this one until the version with the space is deleted. If an admin could do so please, I would be very grateful. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 15:24, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I've moved it (and I'm not an admin!) --GuillaumeTell (talk) 12:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's because I CSD'd the one with the space. --Michael White^T·C 15:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 15:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sources: Web/book?

What's better, an on-line or a published source? I have a copy of Shakespeare's complete works (c.1896) at home or the sources referenced in the article. I just wondered which is better. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 19:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd say they're both fine. Wrad (talk) 20:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

For now I'll stick with the on-line sources, that way people can look them up. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 20:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
