I don’t quite understand the three words ‘William to Cole’ in the first sentence of this article. Is this somebody’s name, a typo or something else? Ian Spackman 15:17, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added Expert-subject and refimprove tags because this entry sometimes reads as first-hand research. Statements appear without references and I don't know where to find those references. Without the expertise, it's hard to know what to cut and retain both value and meaning.

I'm confused about whether Hereafter foloweth a title boke called Colyn Cloute and Hereafter ... why come ye nat to Courte? are two separate works or a single one. The original article gave them a single set of quotations. If they are two works, they should have their own quotes. Curdigirl 3:38, 8 January 2017 (CST)

I added a link for the Replycacion work to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_as_a_March_hare because it is noted as an historical source within the development of the idiom. This may not be appropriate - please review and determine whether it belongs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Curdigirl (talkcontribs) 21:21, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Colyn Clout and Why Come Ye Nat to Court are two different works. Henrik Thiil Nielsen (talk) 23:07, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rechecking for Jan 2017 CopyEditors Guild Backlog Drive

[edit]
Notes - aiming to fix formatting on works, poems versus longer works. For my working memory:

Italics: See Manual of Style:Titles Italic type (text like this, marked up with pairs of apostrophes as text like this) should be used for the following types of names and titles, or abbreviations thereof: - Long works or epic poems

Shorter poems: "Colyn Cloute" (Bartleby) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Curdigirl (talkcontribs) 08:28, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I had seen a Wiki MOS indicating that italics and apostrophe's should be used when the original work itself uses lower case (as in much older works): as in "The Adventures of the Super furry Brown fox, who hath of late stolen some chickens from Farmer John's coop" which, I applied to John Skelton, since some of the article works were listed that way (myself being unfamiliar with whether these were minor or major works.)

I am now unable to find that reference and simplifying by referring to the overview noted above. Curdigirl (talk) 04:46, 20 January 2017 (UTC)Curdigirl[reply]

I'm rechecking this work to correct formatting of works noted in-line. Unfortunately, I've located The Encyclopaedia Britannica: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, Literature and General Information, Volume 25 and that work appears to have been copy pasted into the text of this article. I'll have to comb through and eliminate what was copy pasted. Curdigirl (talk) 04:05, 21 January 2017 (UTC)Curdigirl[reply]
