Upstart Crow as an "example"

That seems a little misleading to me, as what UC does is to satirise Mark Rylance as a 'just asking questions' Shaks-spar skeptic. But our text isn't entirely clear what it's being cited as an example of. Nor have I seen the original source. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 16:45, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Late answer, but it was a recurring plot-point, see for example [1]. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 23:01, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirection?

Should Anti-Stratfordians redirect here? It doesn’t say that it does. Queermedea (talk) 18:06, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it currently does redirect here. Simonm223 (talk) 20:54, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should our text mention that a syndicate was behind the alleged authorship of the Nancy Drew stories by Carolyn Deane?

For the interested
