The warning that you have added says: "Doubt has been raised about the fidelity of the source document used as the basis of this text.". The warning is false, as the document has no source, and no doubt about the fidelity of non-existent entity--the lacking source--can properly be raised. IMHO, the warning should say: "This document is lacking source", or something of the sort. Don't you think? --Dan Polansky 08:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I agree. --Joaopaulo1511 (talk) 18:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Looks like the source is A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare [Collins edition]. You can find a copy at Project Gutenberg, here. It's similar down to the fact that ACT V has SCENE II, while other versions the shorter SCENE II was merged with SCENE I, thus making ACT V have one scene. --203.155.228.229 09:22, 14 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Here is the link to the previous version with no source. --Zyephyrus (talk) 12:37, 5 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
