[edit] maidenheands

Might one consider adding annotations, especially for archaic and out of use phrases that the average reader may not be familiar with. I.E. "maidenheands"?

Feel free to wikify such terms with an interwiki link to wikipedia or Wiktionary. You might want to read Wikisource:Annotations--BirgitteSB 19:39, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I think maidenheands itself is flawed. The correct word should be maidenheads. I found other errors in the text. —unsigned comment by 76.93.14.150 (talk) 13:23, 10 June 2008.

[edit] line numbers

Would it be helpful to add line numbers to the play to make it more "quotable" for school/college students. How shall we align them properly. —unsigned comment by 71.174.243.179 (talk) .

[edit] Romance? Tragedy?

I think this text should be under the "Tragedy" section, rather than romance. I mean, that's what Shakespeare originally intended for it to be. It even has Tragedy in the title.

I think both are applicable; even the Wikipedia article says "Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances..." EVula // talk // ☯ // 01:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
