I recently dipped my toe into updating 1 little element of Wikipedia's 154 Sonnet articles and, well, it turns out that more than 1 thing could stand improvement. I've written up a little manifesto cheekily called User:Phil wink/Sonnet Uniformity Act. Ultimately, I'll post a link on WP:BARD, Shakespeare's sonnets, and possible William Shakespeare. But 1) I despair of getting enough feedback to achieve "consensus" worthy of the name, and 2) I hope to get a sanity-check from dedicated editors before completely exposing it.
Would you be kind enough to read my harangue, and comment? (Please comment at User talk:Phil wink/Sonnet Uniformity Act so we can maintain 1 discussion.) I may continue tweaking it a bit, but I think it's pretty much complete, apart from updates based on ensuing discussion. FYI, I've put out this same request to Tom Reedy and Thefairyouth154. I'm much obliged for any insight you can contribute. Phil wink ( talk) 21:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
That citation I found and posted in Cuthbert Burby looks to contain enough meat for one of those satisfying thunk! moments when you drop a new article into Wiki, and the next passing new page patroller thinks: "WTF wasn't there already an article?" Over to you and your colleagues, I'm WikiGnomishly moving on.
(The new articles of which I'm most proud are those where I've done my best, created a stub, and asked for help from relevant WikiProjects - and have got it, with an upgrading by another editor to start class for the improved article.) Narky Blert ( talk) 23:21, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Taming of the Shrew, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Continuum and Macmillan. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

What did you think of my work here? The matter is very near and dear to my heart. I read for Macbeth in my high school English class, so when the teacher mentioned the theory Macbeth was the murderer I was kind of shocked. "ZOMG, did I kill Banquo?" Ribbet32 ( talk) 00:38, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, Xover, I'm glad to see you have found some time to return to expanding the Edmond Malone article. After having mostly been away from it for more than a year, I reread the entire article. Your new material, and indeed the whole thing as far as it goes, is very well written. I could find only one tiny correction to make. As always, I look forward to being of editorial assistance with any further additions or changes you have the time and inclination to make. -- Alan W ( talk) 05:06, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Macbeth (1916 film) into
List of William Shakespeare screen adaptations. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. —

Hello again, Xover! Thank you for just thanking me, but after reading down and refreshing my memory of all the confusing forms in the various editions, and after looking at the convenient List_of_Shakespeare_plays_in_quarto, I have to acknowledge that the change made by Kl0f was correct. I took it out of context at first. I think I got it right this time. Again, saddened by reflecting that Paul is no longer with us, so he could check his own work along with the revision. So the rest of us have to carry on. Hope all is well with you. Regards, Alan W ( talk) 05:09, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
