Talk:Measure for Measure

message: Isn't it Elbow, rather than Pompey, who is a "retread" of Dogberry? Pompey is a bawd, and articulate if garrulous. Elbow is an over-zealous constable like Dogberry and, like Dogberry, is given to malapropisms. Mike Capp 01:03, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

:What part of "strictly prohibited" does not seem to forbid copying? I'd say it DOES forbid it. I'll try to look this over on the weekend. If it really is a copyvio it has to go, whether it's good stuff or not. Wikipedia is a "commercial purpose" in the sense used in this clause, since our own licence permits commercial reproduction.

message: Why the repeated reversion to link every single mention of Angelo's name to his article? It's obviously inappropriate. If there is some point to doing so, then please explain here. AndyJones 13:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The article isn't very specific as to why Lucio is forced to marry kate keepdown, some of his impergnating and then abandoning her should be mentioned, shoudln't it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.78.84.7 (talk) 13:41, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kate Keepdown 

message: It is necessary to point out contemporary productions of this play, especially American-centric productions?  I do not see it adding any value unless there was a far more comprehensive list of productions for historical purposes.  Otherwise, it adds no value to the play itself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.99.5 (talk) 20:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contemporary Stagings 

message: Hello, I have reviewed the article as C Class. There are a no of problems with the article: undeveloped lead, poor referencing, incomplete sources, unbalanced sections (synopsis and some info on Performance but lacking much the text, sources, literary analysis).

thread_title: Downgraded quality listing to C Class 

message: As I was reading this article, I noticed that the lead contained very little information and minimal background information. While it is a good beginning and accurate depiction of the themes and publication of the play, more information could be added. For example, a brief summary of the plot before it is described in-depth in the synopsis section. Another issue was the lack of sources backing up the Popular Culture section. There were many examples of Measure for Measure's impact and presence in other artists' works, but no credible sources to support them. If possible, it would be helpful to find sources that verify this information, so it can be assured that it is factual .

message: "The earliest recorded performance of Measure for Measure took place on St. Stephen's night, 26 December 1604." -- 1604 says that night was the first performance of King Lear.  Both first performances would have been done by Shakespeare's company.  Could they have performed 2 plays on the same day? Philgoetz (talk) 05:50, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: "1604" was confused. King Lear was first performed around Christmas 1606; Measure for Measure is the one whose first recorded performance was on that day in 1604. Good catch! I've fixed the entry on the year page. --Xover (talk) 08:55, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
