  1. Citations are needed for many of the claimed orthodox perspectives, many of which use weasel words such as 'the orthodox perspective is...'. Quotable sources include Sam Schoenbaum's Shakespeare's Lives and Shakespeare: A Documentary Life, Jonathan Bate's The Genius of Shakespeare and David Kathman's website.
  2. Citations are needed for many of the anti-Stratfordian arguments. Ideally, these citations should be to the 'classic' texts in the field, in order to avoid giving undue weight to not-yet established or minority anti-Stratfordian theories: this too would follow Misplaced Pages policy.
  3. In accordance with the previous point, all ideas that are only supported by references to self-published books or websites by non-experts in theatre history need to be weeded out (not because they're necessarily wrong, but because Misplaced Pages policy is to avoid citations to such texts).

  4. Many typical anti-Stratfordian arguments are still missing, e.g. the claim that Shakespeare was not eulogized when he died.
  5. The Baconian section needs trimming to make it a summary; the more specific points can then be removed to the Baconian theory article (as has been done for the Oxford and Marlowe sections)
