message: This section seems contradictory/unclear to me.  It seems to give two different publication times, and the wording makes things even more confusing.  Can someone "in the know" clear this up? -Elmer Clark 03:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: From Jorge de Montemayor that references 1911 Britannica:
:the indirect source, through the translation included in Googe's Eglogs, epytaphes and sonnets (1563), of an episode in The Two Gentlemen of Verona. 
Our article does not mention a 1563 translation.

message: Wasn't this awarded a Tony for Best Musical when it played in 1972 or 1973 I think? Wasn't acclaimed actor Raul Julia in the original Broadway cast? He may have won a Tony for it as well. It was a huge success and one of the composers was also an original composer for "Hair" as well. Should not this be mentioned in the "Productions" section?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by elure ___ May 14 2008208.36.163.180 (talk) 04:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The article makes it sound like there is no doubt about what happens at the end of the play - Valentine simply gives Silvia to Proteus. However, this is by no means certain. There is a great deal of critical debate about the line "All that was mine in Silvia I give thee", with many critics suggesting it means "I will love you as much as I love Silvia", and numerous stagings have depicted it this way. The article needs to at the very least mention this ambiguity, as not to do so immediately places the whole article as out of touch with current scholarship. Bertaut (talk) 01:36, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This seems really unlikely, from looking at the cast lists for other plays. It's cited to a reliable source, but not to an online one; does anyone have the Carroll edition, to confirm what it says? Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the citation to Carroll is regarding the second half of the sentence, the part about it being considered one of Shakespeare's weakest plays as page 110 is in a section called "The Critical Tradition". As for the cast issue, to what other plays are you referring? I know I've personally read a couple of times that Verona has the smallest cast in his oeuvre; to give one solid example, it's mentioned in the intro to the play in the Norton Shakespeare, page 103 in my edition. I'm pretty sure its mentioned somewhere in Warren's edition for the Oxford Shaksepeare too. Having said that however, I'm not at all familiar with his later work, so I'm just going by what I've read.

replies: text: Twelfth Night, for example, seems to have fewer people, but that could be an error on Wikipedia's part (for example, I just had to add Francisca to the list for Measure for Measure). There's also the issue with indeterminate numbers of non-speaking Lords, Servants, etc. If another source says that it's the smallest cast, I'm cool with that - I just wanted to check.

message: I can't find much more info about it, but there's a new film adaptation listed on IMDB.[] That will affect The Two Gentlemen of Verona#Film which says The only cinematic adaptation of the play is Yī jiǎn méi (more commonly known by its English title A Spray of Plum Blossoms), a 1931 silent film from China, directed by Bu Wancang and written by Huang Yicuo I'm wary of adding it until it turns out to be a real movie - it's not on Rotten Tomoatoes.

replies: text: I think that's just a recording of a live production, but let me dig into it a little more and I'll get back to you. Bertaut (talk) 03:48, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi , having done a bit more research, I can confirm this is a recording of a live production. If you look here, you'll see info on the performances. You can also find Paul Guerra's resume here, where his role as Proteus is listed in the theatre section. Nice catch though. Keep us on our toes! Bertaut (talk) 00:04, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good research. That explains why it hasn't shown up on Rotten Tomatoes. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 03:19, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
