message: I can't figure out how to make a "contents" table.  Do they just show up automatically?

message: Assigned class as "Start" - Critical reception needs its own section, and is currently represented by a few sentences in the intro.
Assigned importance as "Low" - a single play is a "highly specific area of knowledge."--Dereksmootz (talk) 18:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

message: User:Montyh seems to have recently pasted a gigantic school essay into this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Pillowman&diff=274346210&oldid=273257022
The essay is far too long, in the wrong style for Wikipedia, and full of original research and unsourced statements.  It's also formatted wrongly (eg references, lines with leading spaces).  Rather than fixing it up I suggest we just delete it.
Any objections to undoing almost all of Montyh's additions?  In particular, I'd like to delete all the sections Plot Analysis, Character Analysis, Genre, Style, Spectacle, Language and Music.

message: In the production I saw a smaller puppet stage was used to play out Katurian's stories as they are told, above the main stage with the human actors.  Was this is a of all the productions?  It was quite a striking feature of the play.  If it *was* in all the productions, it should probably be mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.232.250.50 (talk) 08:30, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Hafbreedmongrel, please stop adding the section about closet land. Drawing comparisons between that film and Pillowman constitutes original research because you have provided no third party source which suggests there are similarities. 
It is also a dangerous comparison to make since it could open up the author of pillowman to accusations of plagiarism. I will therefore be resolute in removing this section until such time as you can provide a reliable source as defined in the Wikipedia:Reliable sources guidelines.

message: I was taking a closer look at the main sections of text. Specifically, the following: 
"The Pillowman stemmed in part from McDonagh's experience composing fairy tales, with names such as The Chair and the Wolfboy, The Short Fellow and the Strange Frog, and The Violin and the Drunken Angel, early in his writing career. Attempting to rewrite fairy tales he remembered from childhood, he realized that 'there's something dark about them that doesn't quite come through.'" 
There is no citation connected to this claim and it assumes the writer's perspective and intentions. I would suggest citing the source of this quote or removing it entirely. Agranat2 (talk) 02:27, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: belated answer - the quote comes from the BOMB mag citation Mujinga (talk) 13:51, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
