Shakespeare controversy

This bit doesn't seem to have any proper context: "The actual author was identified as Christopher Marlowe, Francis Bacon, the Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere or Mary Sidney (Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke." What is meant by this? Does this mean that in the play "I am Shakespeare" the actual author was identified as Christopher Marlowe etc.? Because some readers of this section may get the impression that the authorship of Shakespeare has been totally proven to be the writers above, when in truth the matter is still open to debate. I'd re-write it but I don't quite understand what the writer of this section was referring to. If it is meant literally, it is of course incorrect. It's impossible to really prove anything in regard to this subject. Needs correcting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.176.177.93 (talk) 01:08, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am equally confused by this mis-written sentence. At first, I read it to mean that the list of names was a set of authors who wrote together as a committee, but then I took it to mean that different individuals have been proposed as alternatives to Shakesperare, as in "The actual author was identified as Christopher Marlowe, or Francis Bacon, or the Earl of Oxford, or etc." but I don't know what the editor who wrote it meant.

If it is a list of alternative proposed authors, the sentence could be clarified by the addition of of the word "either", and an Oxford comma before Mary Sidney, thus: "The actual author was proposed to be either Christopher Marlowe, Francis Bacon, the Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere, or Mary Sidney (Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke)."

Unfortunately, the one who wrote it has been blocked permanently for posting conspiracy theories, so he cannot be questioned. — O'Dea (talk) 14:55, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was just going to say something about this section, too - but I was going to point out that despite the section being called "Shakespeare controversy," there's no info about an actual controversy. The section just says that the "Declaration of Reasonable Doubt" was released, along with a bit of info about it, but doesn't say anything about the reaction to it.

Footer categories

Is there any reason why the categories section at the bottom of this article includes: 'Male actors from Connecticut' and 'Male actors from Wisconsin' when it's clear to anyone that Mark Rylance is 'from' neither of those places? The article doesn't even talk about his living arrangements, but if he is residing in the U.S. he's not 'from' there, even if he officially immigrates. He can't also be 'from' several places; only 'in' some of them and 'from' one.

I don't see why it's even noteworthy.
