December 26 '07 changes

Certain additions were made on 26th December, which I'm afraid I have felt obliged to remove, for the following reasons:

1) In the section on the Sonnets, the insertion of the comment about Sonnet 86 is in my view unnecessary, as well as turning the paragraph into gibberish. In order to achieve a NPOV we have already removed two paragraphs on the apparent relevance of various other sonnets to the theory, and this one is far less appropriate than most of those which were deleted at that time. 

2) The graph showing the time spans of various authorship candidates is relevant to the article on the Shakespeare authorship question as a whole, but in my opinion adds little of value to this article, the thrust of which is to explain the reasons why Marlovians believe that Marlowe survived 1593 and made a major contribution to Shakespeare's works, and not why anyone else did not. 

3) The opening paragraph of the ""External Evidence"" section up to ""Shakespeare's grave etc."" was written as a counter to the argument of whole ""Marlowe's Death"" section. To then add a counter to that is illogical, even if it had had something to do with external evidence, which it doesn't, and wasn't so obviously written by someone whose first language is not English.

Hoffman Prize
Thanks for the kind words, but I think the information about my win is better placed in the notes, where I had in fact already somewhat cryptically referred to it, and without the (very welcome) comment, which looks a little strange given that most of the entry can be identified as mine!
