replies: text: I've been developing some pages for more minor character.  Maybe they can give you some ideas.  Take a look at the Rosaline and Sycorax (Shakespeare) pages. Wrad 16:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This article should be titles "Robin Goodfellow," not Puck.  The character from the play is not also known as Robin Goodfellow, he is Robin Goodfellow.  This character is also known as Puck.  This should be changed to be a more accurate representation. Locke (talk) 03:20, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have an opinion either way, other than that I've almost always heard of him as Puck. Can you build a strong case for the change? Wrad (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's very hard to build a case for this issue, mainly because the simple fact is that the name of the character is Robin Goodfellow.  I have to go to my copy of the play, which I do not currently have access to, and look up their opinion on the issue.  Locke (talk) 23:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Change of Name

message: Question: why is this page listed in the "Male Shakespeare Characters" category when it states right off in the intro that the character's gender is not specified?  (this is really a 'hint hint can somebody please add it to Female or Non-Binary Spr characters or something because I don't know how to do that')  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.159.16.117 (talk) 01:31, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

message: * Puck features prominently in Rudyard Kipling's work Puck of Pook's Hill and its sequel, Rewards and Fairies, where two children accidentally summon him into existence by performing A Midsummer Night's Dream on Midsummer Eve. Once present, Puck himself then both summons historical figures for the children, to tell their stories, and narrates to the children his own fantastical tales.
I removed the above, I haven't found any source that clearly states that this Puck is Shakespeare's Puck. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:09, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

message: This image was the leadimage for quite awhile. Recently, an IP replaced it with a painting from the article, which I don't really mind. However, I do think think we should keep it in the article. And if there's a consensus to restore it as leadimage, I don't mind that either. Opinions?

replies: text: When I restored the image of Vince Cardinale after the IP deleted it, I kept it out of the lead out of an instinctive desire to compromise with the IP. But IP doesn't seem to be interested in collaboration, and the photograph is, in my opinion, the most striking image in the article, and it was the lead image for years and years, so I went ahead and restored it as the lead.

replies: text: No objection. WP:LEADIMAGE offers no firm guidance, so WP:CONSENSUS is what we've got. Perhaps more editors will chime in. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:31, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
