• I'll review this.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:16, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

• Where is the Table of Contents?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:20, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
• The article needs more wikification and references in general.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:29, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

WP:LEAD

• The LEAD does not summarize the article.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:20, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
• It does not even mention the word Shakespeare or Shakespeare's sonnets. Imagine someone who is unfamiliar with the subject who only reads the LEAD. They would have no idea what this article is about.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:20, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
• Please make sure to summarize each section in the LEAD.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:20, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Paraphrase

• This article does not pass WP:V. Each instructive fact needs a WP:IC from a WP:RS. At a minimum, every paragraph should have a IC.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:29, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
• Please combine " It is among the string of procreation sonnets written by Shakespeare. The procreation sonnets are sonnets 1-17." into one sentence.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:29, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Context

• Again ICs are needed to V the facts of the article. A minimum of one per paragraph, but one after each sentence would be good.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:32, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Structure

• Again the prose is devoid of citation.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:33, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

• At some point, I expect some critical commentary. Is this one of Shakespeare's more famous sonnets? Is it one of his better sonnets? Pray tell.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:46, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

• I would probably have failed this article if it were not for two considerations. 1. The article is very short and regardless that most of it needs work, it won't take too much time to do. 2. This article is for a class assignment. Thus, I am putting the article on hold.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I have been as patient as I could, but I have to FAIL this now.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:03, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
