Initial comments

edit
  • "it highlights the Renaissance ideal of male fidelity and equality" - Renaissance should be linked to something if it is capitalised (or a an actual term)
  • "Similar to Sonnet 27, Sonnet 28 ends comparably — in an unhappy state" - is there a need for a hyphen here? Seems a bit disjointed here. Could easily be read as just Similar to Sonnet 27, Sonnet 28 ends similarly in an unhappy state
  • Is there any need for the Original text section as the text is also in the table in the lead section? This section (though it is just the actual sonnet) is also unreferenced.
  • "Dympna Callaghan asserts that the sonnet" - who is this!?
  • It would be helpful if the Paraphrase could have more content in it, as currently it only comprises of a large quote from Callaghan
  • "Peter Hyland contends that" - who is this? An historian?

On hold

edit

I support the fact that this article is for educational purposes and from the previous two Sonnets I have reviewed, I understand that Shakespearean articles take a different approach to Wikipedia and GANs. If all of the above can be addressed, then there is a possibility of this being promoted to GA. I'll leave this on hold for the standard seven days. Thanks! Jaguar 17:37, 1 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
