Obviously you guys have considered this before, but -- I love Wikipedia!

I've always wondered how much editing is allowed? Does it have to be the complete works, in order, with Shakespeare's original spelling? Or can individual plays be plucked out as they appear?

So, according to this theory, if Shakespeare was still alive, and we put him in a cage at the zoo. Given enough time he would throw his poo at the visitors?

Well Crimson, Wikipedia publicly publishes the IP addresses of their edits, so it's pretty trivial for me to figure out that you were the responsible moron.

Haha, I've used that argument many times in dealing with universe variables.
