synopses, etc.
Hello, with the current format, do you feel that brief plot synopses would still be appropriate? Another question: do you think that each play could have an indication whether it is considered a comedy, tragedy, or history? Thanks, Kyok  o  07:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if plot summaries are necessary considering the articles provide that - however they could be added, by adding a second row to each title and having it span several rows above (see below). I'm also planning on adding tragedy/comedy/history below the titles of the works in the next big edit. -- Editor at Large  •  talk  08:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Example format:


 * Oh, so that‘s what the play is about! I've never read it, nor seen it! Seriously, I was only thinking of a brief description, perhaps only one or two lines, such as "King Lear: an aged king faces troubles when he tries to divide his inheritance between his daughters." I don't know if having such descriptions is absolutely necessary, but they would help fill out the list, and perhaps further distinguish this list from the main articles. -- Kyok o  21:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Haha. I like the layout idea shown above, as well.  I think synopses would be excellent in the format you have proposed (except maybe in English) :) Wrad 21:25, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Well yes, lorem ipsum can't be used for every synopsis. Someone would be bound to notice, eventually. -- Kyok o  21:47, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm actually partial to Cicero's first Catiline Oration as placeholder text :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Original title
Could room be made for the titles under which the plays were originally published? Very few match the modern ones exactly, eg.

move categories (and pages) within Category:William Shakespeare plays to Category:Works by William Shakespeare
Could the categories within Category:William Shakespeare plays be moved to its parent, Category:Works by William Shakespeare? Which otherwise contains only one category, Category:Poetry by William Shakespeare. This would flatten the taxonomy without creating confusion or lose significant information. — Robert Greer (talk) 15:00, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Sourcing early performances of Titus Andronicus
I have a good paragraph of information from one of my sources. I've paraphrased and cited the text, but seeing as the wording is pretty similar due to the fact that this is factual information, I'm not sure whether or not it would be better off in a block quotation. Any thoughts? Thanks, Iamthecheese44 (talk) 21:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
