Secondary sources
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
This article needs some literary criticism from secondary sources. (Looks like you have some! Good!) Referencing material from wikiquote probably isn't a good idea either. Use an off-wiki version of the play. Wrad (talk) 18:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- Is this better?
- http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/mirror/classics.mit.edu/Shakespeare/tempest/full.html
- I've changed the references to it. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 18:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yep. What are these "Matthew Humberstone School" refs? Wrad (talk) 18:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- That's things I learnt at school. It's not original research because it was published in a textbook I can't remember the name of. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 19:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- When I get back to school next week I'll find out. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 19:07, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Infobox
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
What infobox template should I use for this page? Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 20:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- We don't really use infoboxes for Shakespeare characters. Wrad (talk) 20:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- OK, it might be a good idea to make one though. I can't properly but if someone can it might improve all articles on Shakespeare characters. Just an idea. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 20:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've made one specifically for this article. I made a bit of a mess of it but it's better than nothing. If anyone can make it better please do. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 21:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

About character articles
[edit]For ideas on how to improve this article, have a look at these guidelines Wrad (talk) 21:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- Done that. I've made the sections but they're too short to qualify as real sections. Can anyone add to them? Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 21:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- The origin section's just about long enough now but the performance history's still amazingly short. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 17:33, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
This needs moving
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
It should be at Stephano (Shakespeare) - ie with a space before the opening bracket. Because that page has two history entries it can't be moved simply, but this page should redirect there, not the other way around as now. Loganberry (Talk) 21:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I made a typing mistake when making the page. I can't move this one until the version with the space is deleted. If an admin could do so please, I would be very grateful. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 15:24, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've moved it (and I'm not an admin!) --GuillaumeTell (talk) 12:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's because I CSD'd the one with the space. --Michael WhiteT·C 15:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Sources: Web/book?
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
What's better, an on-line or a published source? I have a copy of Shakespeare's complete works (c.1896) at home or the sources referenced in the article. I just wondered which is better. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 19:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'd say they're both fine. Wrad (talk) 20:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- For now I'll stick with the on-line sources, that way people can look them up. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp and assistance 20:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Performance History
[edit]I just wanted to let you know I have edited this portion. I will look for changes in the character of Stephano over time later in terms of performance history, but at least, I hope, this meets editorial review and lays a proper foundation for later expansion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yachtsman1 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
