- Characters and Synopsis. Remove the stop in the first image caption. Incomplete sentences in image captions are not stopped. Images and links OK.
- Date and sources. This passage, "Edward Blount entered [...] registered on that date." probably should be cited, and this phrase, "Since source [...] 18th century," should be cited, too. "Kenneth Muir" can be linked. Italicize "Sea Venture". Critical Survey can be linked. Use The Tempest in the passage, "pervasive influence on Tempest of" for consistency's sake. Why are "(13 October 1610)" and "(8 November 1610)" placed in parens? Remove the stop in the first image caption. In the second image caption, place the title in italics. Images and links check out.
- Done Both missing cites provided; Kenneth Muir linked; Sea Venture italicized; Critical Survey linked; Tempest changed to The Tempest; parenthesis removed; image captions fixed. --Xover (talk) 18:22, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Text. No problems. Susanne2009NYC (talk) 16:10, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Themes and motifs. No problems. Susanne2009NYC (talk) 19:58, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
- Criticism. No problems. Susanne2009NYC (talk) 15:51, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- Afterlife.
- Is it "xxth-century" or "xxth century"?
- Done Both, actually. :-)
It's with a dash when the fragment is posessive (…a 18th-century doohicky…) and without a dash when refering to the century itself (…in the 18th century…). In any case, we weren't consistent on this point so I've fixed the incorrect usages. --Xover (talk) 22:07, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- Done Both, actually. :-)
- "Restoration" or "restoration"? The word is linked twice within a few sentences.
- "Court" or "court"?
- "Patent company" should be explained or linked.
- Done Linked to Patent company. --Xover (talk) 22:36, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- "However, the play was considered unsuitable for Restoration audiences," Why?
- "King's Company" or "King's Company"?
- "In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries". Why are the "centuries" spelled out? "In the late 19th and early 20th centuries" is ok.
- "stage-hands" --> "stagehands"?
- "late-19th-century tradition" --> "late 19th century tradition"?
- ✗ Not done Hmm, no, I don't think so. cf. the dashed/undashed centuries above. 19th-century tradition should be dashed, and forms an atom; which is then connected to late with a dash. Admittedly I find this usage somewhat non-intuitive myself, but as best I can tell that's the correct form. --Xover (talk) 22:29, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- "favorite" --> "favourite"?

- "Arthur Sullivan: his 1862 incidental music was his first major work,[citation needed] and it brought him to the attention of the public.[citation needed] Ernest Chausson: in 1888 he wrote incidental music for La tempête, a French translation by Maurice Bouchor. This is believed to be the first orchestral work that made use of the celesta.[citation needed]"
- I can't find "semi-operas" in the dictionary.Susanne2009NYC (talk) 15:31, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Do "folk" and "hippie" need to be placed in q-marks? Susanne2009NYC (talk) 15:37, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
