Video timestamps[edit]

@SyntaxZombie: the Q&A and BTS are great sources to add, but is it possible for you to add timestamps for the claims they're used for here? It's a bit of a big ask to expect a reader to watch the whole videos through if they want to verify the information is correct. — Bilorv (talk) 21:03, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good idea. Implemented :) SyntaxZombie (talk) 00:28, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! — Bilorv (talk) 09:17, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Plot[edit]

MOS:FILMPLOT recommends between 400 and 700 words for a plot summary, and I think that applies here as a filmed version of a play (and a good baseline for how many words we compress 2 hours or so of fiction into). We're currently at 736 words, so just a touch over. — Bilorv (talk) 10:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Averageuntitleduser hi, thanks for taking on the review! I'm around, just haven't done much editing in the last month or so :) —SyntaxZombie (talk) 22:32, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fabulous! I'll get on with it then. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 22:34, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well-written[edit]

A rather entertaining read, and the "Reception" section flows very nicely; I found few issues with it.

Use the full "William Shakespeare" at first mention in the lead, article, and infobox.
This plot section is a touch over the 700 words recommended by MOS:FILMPLOT. Consider looking it over to rephrase or further summarize certain ideas. Perhaps you could excise some words. This isn't a firm rule, but it will help the article's readability.
"Hotspur", "Prince Hal", and other characters may be useful links.
The explanatory note may not be necessary; the opening paragraph of MOS:GENDERID already advises us to use those pronouns.
Jen finds herself reunited with Sam, Hotspur finds herself at her home — should the comma should be a "while"? Also, out of curiousity, Hotspur is at home, but where do Jen and Sam reunite?
Consider reordering the "Production" section to make it more chronological, e.g. casting and director info in the second paragraph, previews before the premiere. This may also help with the short paragraph lengths.

Neutral[edit]

No promotional tone. All opinions of the reviewers are attributed.

Stable[edit]
