Maintenance templates

I added templates to the effect that the article is almost entirely subjective and lacks encyclopedic tone. Strong, even idiosyncratic opinions are expounded without even a hint of substantiation. I think the topic requires an attempt to present some sort of consensus literary criticism of the sonnet, rather than just a random point of view. Dratman (talk) 17:50, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Translation" -> "Paraphrase"

The proper term for a "translation" from one English phrasing to another is paraphrase. Moreover, I hate the idea "translation" suggests, that an ordinary person's command of English is not sufficient to understand Shakespeare.—Wegesrand (talk) 15:19, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
