- This is covered in the Wikipedia article. I'd leave the author title as Shakespeare since it is historically accepted, but add a note at the intro as to the authorship question. Whether to add a note after the author's name should be first suggested at the Scriptorium, as we'd prefer to maintain consistency between works, and this is not the only one with authorship problems. - Mtmelendez 13:13, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
