I've basically rebuilt this entire page. I'm not done yet - there's a lot of crafting and polishing to be done, but to me it already looks a million times better. Does anyone else have some reccomendations? BeastKing89 06:36, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Andy's right, you probably won't get it. They usually don't approve it unless you're getting four or so attacks a day for several days (by different users), and then it may only be temporary. Wrad 14:16, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I know that this debate has surfaced on other articles, as well - should we have spoiler tags on this page? I think it might be fair to put it on here above the "Distinguishing Characteristics / Character Analysis" section, since it isn't explicitly labeled a plot summary section, and it does give away crucial details from the plot. However, I restrained myself from putting them back in, since I realize that Romeo's suicide is hardly a spoiler for most people. But again, this (I've noticed) is a heated topic, so I leave it up for discussion.
Also, kudos to Wrad for the template and quote box. They make the page look very professional.

I wrote the following at Talk:William Shakespeare, but it's particularly pertinent to this page, which has NO SOURCES AT ALL:
I suppose that you two are referring to people like me, as I wrote about 90% of this article. And yes, you're right - but please remember that I've only been editing for roughly as long as this whole Wikiproject has been in existince, which isn't very long. So all I ask is for your patience. I do have a life outside Wikipedia, so forgive me if it takes me a few days (or weeks) to find the time to work out sources.
When I first saw this article, it was a complete disaster. So yes, it doesn't source well, but nothing in there is untrue, and at least the article has substance now.
I appreciate your diligence in seeking out OR, but this isn't OR. I need to source it, and that was a mistake I made (being a first-timer) but it's still not innacurate. I wish I could claim that I made this stuff up, but I didn't.
For the record, I think this whole Wikiproject should spend some more time rescuscitating articles with virtually nothing, rather than freaking out over footnotes. To me, pages that are like barren wastelands deserve more attention than those with minor flaws. Unless, of course, it's super-important (like William Shakespeare, for example.)
Anyway, I appreciate the guidance, and I promise the sources are coming. I might need some help with the technical stuff, however. -- BeastKing89 09:06, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:Romeo Montague with poison.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Wow. The style and grammar is rather poor for such an important English-language subject. It looks like the C- secondary school/high school kids have really been at it. I'll do a little remixing. Centrepull ( talk) 12:16, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Romeo Montague → Romeo — Now that he is the primary meaning, I suggest moving him to plain Romeo, which I think is how most people think of him. PatGallacher ( talk) 18:56, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
When is his age said to be 22? I'm removing it until someone can page source it. Samvnkauffman ( talk) 08:49, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
