==Current To-Do List==
* '''[[William_Shakespeare#Works_of_Shakespeare Works of Shakespeare|Works of Shakespeare]]: Continue reformatting pages to standard; subdivision by acts; place quotes in order of appearance; create line breaks where missing; correct typos and text errors.'''

* Village Pump proposals: 
** 1) Template paragaph for asking contributors the source of newly added quote (s), possibly with variants for genre (books, speeches, films, TV shows, etc.).
** '''2)  Translation questions: a) rejecting overtly bad translations; b) use of translation abilities among editors (i.e., when can editors translate as opposed to using already existent translations).'''
