Talk:Thomas Heywood

message: I did a google image search for "Thomas Heywood", and came up with a whole bunch of random pictures, but nothing definitive. Did he refuse to let people paint him or something? I'm wondering if this merits further discussion.
:Most English Renaissance playwrights do not have surviving portraits. Heywood, Thomas Dekker, John Webster, John Ford, Philip Massinger, Thomas Kyd, etc. are all faceless. Even Christopher Marlowe's portrait probably isn't him. This is quite normal for middle class people at the time, I would think. The Singing Badger 01:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:John Lyly

message: At this time the passage reads: "Eight plays by him were probably acted before the queen by the Children of the Chapel and especially by the Children of Paul's between the years 1584 and 1591, one or two of them being repeated before a popular audience at the Blackfriars Theatre." Those seem to be pretty much the dates where there was no Blackfriars Theatre. If there is evidence that the Children played at the first theatre (perhaps in 1584?) could that date be added to the sentence or perhaps the term "first Blackfriars Theatre" be added to the sentence? If the history of BfT1 is more complex than that it closed for good in 1584, could that fact be added to the Blackfriars Theatre article. Fotoguzzi (talk) 03:51, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Children of Paul's between the years 1584 and 1591 

message: Especially in the "Comedies" section. Wikipedia is about citing what's already published, not simply writing down what's true. There are basically no sources anywhere in here for claims like:
* though printed in 1601, possibly Lyly's earliest play — the surviving version is likely a revision of the original
* have been attributed to Lyly, but on altogether insufficient grounds
* His importance as a dramatist has been very differently estimated
* it represents an important step in English dramatic art
* One or two of the songs introduced into his plays are justly famous and show a real lyrical gift
* Nor ... must it be forgotten that his ... plots ... were charged with interest to those courtly hearers 
* As a matter of fact his reputation and popularity as a playwright were considerable
* Harvey dreaded lest Lyly should make a play upon their quarrel
All of these statements, and many others in this article, lack citations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.239.65.11 (talk) 19:18, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Every Man out of His Humour

message: I believe that Carlo Buffone is William Kempe, the "great jester" of London at that time. There are explicit allusions to Kempes singing and dancing, his Morescas ("morrice-dances"), his jigs and even to his shoes.
Perhaps Jonson's Carlo Buffone was a kind of bye-bye to Kempe, who already had left the Lord Chamberlain's Men (and London?)?
Puntarvolo, who is described as a nobleman and a playwright, and who has a boar in the crest of his coat of arms (als Sogliardo tells us), should be Edward de Vere. Who else had that boar in his crest? Which nobleman, and which playwright?
Jonson alludes to William Shakespeare with the two brothers Sogliardo and Sordido - to Sogliardo, the new created gentleman with his yellow coat of armes and his motto "not without mustard" (non sanz droict), and to Sordido with the hoarding of malt in times of famine.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhetorix (talk) 19:01, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:The Knight of the Burning Pestle

message: The New Mermaid makes references to Hattaway and is dated after 2000.  My supposition is that it supercedes Hattaway in the Cambridge Companion.  There, the play is dated to first publication rather than writing.  If the reference to 1607 is solid and comes from more recent scholarship, we should by all means make a change, but we really need a citation at the foot of the article to indicate that source.  I have no reason to believe one or the other, but best practice suggests going with the most recent scholarship.  Geogre 02:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Was Oldcastle really a page to Thomas Mowbray?  Have an idea this is a "factoid".  (The ages are certainly a bit strange for Falstaff to have been, though Shakespeare makes Mowbray older than he was.)
That Falstaff cries "O!" in "Merry Wives" is a mind-boggling 'conspiracy theory'!  His cries at this point are more memorable in Verdi than in Shakespeare - maybe Verdi was in on the Oldcastle attribution.

Talk:Complete Works of Shakespeare

message: This is an odd sort of article. Do we really need it, and if so, shouldn't it be some sort of systematic comparison of the available collections of Shakespeare's works?
Our real problem is getting standard texts, especially of the plays, in order to reference lines unambiguously. A glance at any two extant versions of any Shakespeare play shows quickly divergent line numberings. One can limp along with some of the online sources, tho it is foolish to use the unedited Folio versions of the plays, as these are practically unreadable, and not in the form (modernised spelling and punctuation, Act and Scene divisions) that everyone uses, talks about, and expects. There are other online versions that have an unknown editor and no notes. These might be of some use but, as with the Folio dumps, their accuracy is questionable. I think the only two viable sources out there of all the plays are print books: the Riverside Shakespeare and The Complete Works by David Bevington. I have the Bevington 4th edition (1997), and use it often. I have not seen the 1997 Riverside, but understand that it is less usable (Bevington numbers every line for which a footnote exists (very handy!) but Riverside does not...). Perhaps our practice should be to put one or both of these in the References section, so that we can footnote the one we use. 
The difficulty with this, of course, is that most people have neither Riverside nor Bevington, but perhaps some cheap trade paperback of the play in question. There is nothing wrong with referencing a specific edition of a play, especially if you are using some of the scholarly commentary therein. It is generally cheaper for individuals who want to follow that down to actually buy the book. The problem is simply that each edition is a bit idiosyncratic as to its text. One would like, for an encyclopedia, something more consensual. Bevington and Riverside fit the bill pretty well on that score.
Anyway, maybe what we need, for uncontroversial bits of text, is an act and scene number, an approximate line number (within 10 or 20), the starting words of the quotation in question, and an understanding that, unless the Folio or some Quarto is specified, the reader must avail him or herself of some reasonably modern edited edition! -- Jrmccall 22:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ohr Somayach

message: A few minutes ago, I noticed that Yeshivat Ohr Somayach was changed to Yeshivas Ohr Somayach. My first reaction was to complain and revert it, using the Wikipedia rule concerning  British spellings and American spellings of English words, that original editors can use what they want and later editors should not change it. Then I paused, and went to the Ohr Somayach website to find their official spelling, and I was unable to find either version! It seems that they call it Ohr Somayach Institutions throughout the entire website (perhaps to avoid alienating anyone). Okay, back to square one, to use the original spelling. So, then I checked the history, to see whether perhaps the original editor used Yeshivas, and some other person had improperly changed it to Yeshivat. It turns out that the phrase was originally entered in the modification of November 9 2005, by me! Therefore, I now exercise my prerogative as the original editor, who had originally entered it as "Yeshivat", and I allow the "Yeshivas" spelling to remain, being as that is how we pronounced it when I was in the Yerushalayim branch in '75-'80. --Keeves 18:35, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Onimusha: Warlords

message: Historical background 
Samanosuke is the nephew of Akechi Mitsuhide (Akechi is the surname), the man historically credited to have actually killed Oda Nobunaga over 20 years later. It is rumored that Samanosuke is an alternative name for one of Mitsuhide's actual nephews and may have been born in 1536 or 1538.
Reading the book that came with the game, I found out the 'truth'.
According to the book in a North American copy of Onimusha: Warlords (before it went greatest hits), it says, in short, the battle Nobunaga was 'killed' in happened in 1560.  It then says, one year later is when the incident that is the game occurs.  At the time, Samonosuke is 24 years old (again, according to the book).  So, 1561, the year that the original game takes place, minus 24, his age, tells us that Samonosuke was born in 1537. 75.15.190.75 (talk) 00:05, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
