Welcome! edit

Hello Romeo in love, welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users - please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions or place {{helpme}} on this page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. The William Shakespeare page is under close scrutiny from many editors at present, so please don't be discouraged because your point about couplets has been removed. It's now on the talk page for consideration. As the original poster, you would be the best person to start us off there! All the best. --Old Moonraker 17:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

William Shakespeare edit

Can I suggest you take a deep breath before adding sources to William Shakespeare?

At http://www.william-shakespeare.org.uk/death-william-shakespeare.htm, for example, they tell us:

  • he died April 23rd 1616 at the age of 52
  • The exact date of death is not known

Do you see my point? It's nonsense. The article will be judged by the quality of its sources, as much as by the fact that it has lots of them. AndyJones 19:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

    • Thanks. In fact, I think I'll suggest that we all slow down for a while. AndyJones 19:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Rosaline article edit

Hey, whenever you get back, take a look at this R&J related article I've been working on. It's up for GA status. Just take a look, let me know what you think, add/fix what you can. Wrad 21:28, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:WikiProject Shakespeare Collaboration edit

The Shakespeare Wikiproject is starting another collaboration to bring Romeo and Juliet to GA status. Our last collaboration on William Shakespeare is still in progress, but in the copyedit stage. If you have strong copyedit skills, you may wish to continue the work on that article. Members with skills in other areas are now moving on. Improving Romeo and Juliet article will set a standard for all other Shakespeare plays, so we look forward to seeing everyone there. Thanks for all your help with the project.

Shakespeare project - New collaboration debate edit

The Shakespeare project's first collaboration has ended in success, with William Shakespeare reaching FA status! Congrats to all who chipped in! We also had success in our second collaboration Romeo and Juliet, which is now a GA. Our next step is deciding which article to collaborate on next. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Shakespeare#Next Collaboration to help us choose. Thanks. Wrad 04:09, 25 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
