		I hope we meet again, in life. But if we do not, then I wish to say, Have fun editing! and keep it up. ^___^ MayhemMario 15:05, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bye Bye Mario! Hope you change your mind, because you've been great to have around :) Come back and say hello sometime xxx GunGagdin^Moan 14:08, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise. All these nice comments are making me question my decsion.... Hmmm.. :) MayhemMario 14:10, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you've done such good work here, so your memory will live on! But regardless, no decision is final! Come back anytime and we'd all love to have you! You are part of the furniture now and a nice person too with a good sense of humour :) GunGagdin^Moan 14:18, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's funny how easy you can fit in. It seems lke I have been here for years! But the truth is it's only really been 6 months. I think.... :) MayhemMario 14:20, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did some rooting around on Walford Archives and the earliest recorded appearence of him is 19 March 1996. Conquistador2k6 2 September 2011 12:13 (UTC)

It's about time he was added! –anemoneprojectors– 12:32, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, our past lists have been a bit neglected since Trampikey left. He was quite good at adding the minors.GunGagdin^Moan 16:52, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Watch EastStreetlover's contribs please? He should of had a warning for that edit to the EE list. Causing absolute mayhem they are. :(RaintheOne ^BAM 14:39, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing :) GunGagdin^Moan 16:49, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this year you added some info to Gita Kapoor.. Well there is an interview in Inside Soap with Shobu Kapoor and she talks about how she was cast into EastEnders. I didn't want to scan the article if no one is interested in adding the info, so would you be. It's just that you've always seemed more interested in the 90's characters than other EE editors. :)RaintheOne ^BAM 20:13, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya Rain, well-observed, my penchant is definitely 90s EE. Re Gita: Yes please! Anything that you come across about older characters, especially 80s and 90s ones, would always be welcomed by me, and a scanning would be much appreciated :) GunGagdin^Moan 20:32, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've got the Nicola Stapleton interviews from the last few weeks too. There is also Sarah Ellis' mailbox and she defends mandy and says a bit out her. interviews

• The interview about Mandys return scenes is Inside Soap, issue 34, 27 Aug - 2 Sep 2011, Title=Mandy returns more wicked than ever!, page5 by Allison Jones.
• The interview titled "Comeback Queen" is from the same one above, though on page 6.
• Interview titled "Mandy's gunning for Ian" is from Inside Soap, issue 35, 3-9 sept 2011, page 18 by Allison Jones
• "Catch up with... Shobu Kapoor" - is from Inside Soap issue 36, 10 - 16 september 2011, pages 52-53, Kate Woodward
• "Soapbox" is written by Sarah Ellis is still in issue 36, but page 96RaintheOne ^BAM 23:59, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lovely, thanks so much. Some great stuff for Mandy too. Always has been my fav :) GunGagdin^Moan 00:48, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I will, I'm sure Mandy has had something in it again recently, I'll save em up for you and send them when I can.RaintheOne ^BAM 18:00, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Say a characters final scenes air one night. The characters body appears dead a few days later covered so you could only her hair and a hand, the actress and character are not credited. The actress says it wasn't her posing in the back of the boot. Would you use the credited or uncredited for a last app date?RaintheOne ^BAM 21:30, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the credited appearance as the last. Sounds like the hand was just a prop. I think we have instances for corpses as last appearances, but only when it's the actor laying there dead.GunGagdin^Moan 22:14, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for getting back to me. :)RaintheOne ^BAM 22:21, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was just having a nose in my archive. Can you remember when I tried to argue with you for including Dot as a gay icon? [1] I love your final reply! Though I never got around to writing into the ES. :p I forget what it is like to be a newbie when I'm telling them off for edits I must have been doing once upon-a-time. *_*RaintheOne ^BAM 21:43, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hah! I must have had PMS that day. I get a bit sarcy. I do remember the gay icon discussion, it was quite good humoured. I should try and find your replies on my page, cos I remember you were just as sarcy back. I dont think I ever twigged it was you till now though. i love reading back old discussions on talk pages. Amidst the thousands of image deletion notifications in my archives, there's some gems.GunGagdin^Moan 23:07, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here it is :) [2]GunGagdin^Moan 23:12, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know, It gave me a right laugh looking through it all. Thanks btw, I did wonder what I wrote back to you. Bless me though - I sounded so passionate about something so trivial! :DRaintheOne ^BAM 23:56, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Who would have thought that the chap who so passionately argued over Dot Cotton being a gay icon would still be here over three years later and be such a major soap editor :) So many soap editors have come and gone on here. So it's great to see you are still passionately editing.GunGagdin^Moan 02:18, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. I've uploaded you the latest inside soap Mandy stuff - [3] -

Thanks a lot Rain. Looks really useful :) GunGagdin^Moan 19:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya its good to hear from you after ages. I am fine thanks for asking. Indeed it has been ages since I last edited EastEnders articles. Back in 2005 I was a major internet addict and had a lot of free time away from school and then college. I was also an EastEnders addict having watched it religiously since 1999. In recent years I have been busy working and dont have much free time. I have also lost interest in EastEnders which was the only programme I used to watched on television. Nowadays I only browse through the articles and only occasionally edit. You and the others have done a great job anyway. I have taken interest in Wikiproject India now and work occasionally on Bollywood articles. EastEnders is quite crap now would you agree? It was best from 1999 to 2003 Shakirfan (talk) 17:13, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I like watching old episodes of EE. I have watched some 90s stuff with Mandy Salter and I read she is back after a long time but haven't seen her recent return. I have loads of old classic 90s EE episodes downloaded like the Steve Owen/Matthew Rose, Dan Sullivan/Bianca/Carol, Who Shot Phil etc. Those were the good old days. Do you have any old classic 90s and early 2000s EE eps? Shakirfan (talk) 17:10, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gungadin!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you! SarahStierch (talk) 22:37, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just wondering what you think about this Gungadin... This here is something I started on the prospect of a new wikiproject for the aussie soap duo Neighbours and H&A.RaintheOne ^BAM 18:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's a great idea. sadly i probably wont be able to contribute as i havent watched the aussie soaps in years, but it would certainly be great to try and get more people involved.GunGagdin^Moan 20:58, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it got any interest so no worries. :p Anyway, I'm actually here to deliver you those Mandy scans you asked for. Tagged the deails on the scan this time - [4]RaintheOne ^BAM 00:15, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Rain, so good of you to do this.GunGagdin^Moan 17:28, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've been stalking you. What website was it you used to use for the saved articles? Did you get any on other soaps or just EE?RaintheOne ^BAM 18:43, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. It was High Beam, and unfortunately I only trawled it for EE pages. It went back to about 1995, I think. You may be able to sign up for a free trial, just cancel b4 they ask you to pay.GunGagdin^Moan 20:47, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh don't try and convince me :p I am so tempted by the free trial - the same with Questia - but I've read so many horror stories about them charging regardless or messing up card paymets by over charging. I know I don't really add much content to EE, but could you send me some via email?RaintheOne ^BAM 21:08, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure I will have to forward them on from my hotmail cos I am no longer at home, and wont be till after xmas now. What's your email? GunGagdin^Moan 21:23, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have the email option, but if it is easier use foldkal@live.co.uk which I use for archiving links here anyway.RaintheOne ^BAM 21:43, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

cool, sent them. GunGagdin^Moan 21:47, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou. That is a little bit of a source heaven and a half. There are some things for others too, like Zoe from Emmerdale.RaintheOne ^BAM 22:39, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think there's an Annie Sugden file as well, for when I did the Annie make over several years back. That might contain some stuff about other Emmerdale characters.GunGagdin^Moan 18:37, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Because you are drunk, will you agree to promoting Ken Barlow to something more than he is now? (He looks rather amazing on here and deserves a chance to win a green badge or a gold star..)Rain the 1 03:56, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, definitely, we have neglected him somewhat but he is pretty fabulous and I think could get FA. But GA is a good first step. We should probably work through the rest of that peer review, too. Happy new year! :) GunGagdin^Moan 04:02, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year to you too - I was thinking we should finish that peer review off - I recall me and you already did some changes - there was one on their that was way to complex for my tiny mind that I think Frick could help with. I just want to see it through. It can be our new years resolution - plus we never did give Ivy a good kicking either! :/Rain the 1 04:24, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is Frick around? I havent noticed her editing in a while. I will take another look at the peer review. Maybe we should list it for GA now? Because it takes so long anyway to be reviewed. I am hoping we dont get the same problems that we had with Mavis. We should definitely get cracking on Ivy at some stage too. Speaking of Mavis, you dont have any promotional image of her we could argue for use do you? I am not that keen on the grainy screenshot we have, though it does serve as good visual representation for her original appearance.GunGagdin^Moan 13:30, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that was my thinking, if we list him now as they usually take well over three months to reach the top of the queue. Maybe someone will take him sooner because it's Ken. I don't think she is no - but she usually goes at the end of each month then returns after. We need to find this without their watermark - [5]Rain the 1 13:54, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mediafire.com is the best IMO - You can have your own account and set files to private incase you only want to share them with yourself.Rain the 1 00:40, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have just mailed you about soap magazines.Rain the 1 15:51, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All done. :)Rain the 1 20:03, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

	I hope you have a great Christmas and enjoy it to the full! :) RaintheOne BAM 04:46, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merry (belated) xmas y'all. Hope you had a good one. I have eaten too much, drank too much, and spent too much. Bring on New Year's! GunGagdin^Moan 11:37, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I was just reading this story from the Daily Mail and thought the image of Sam Mitchell looked familiar. Then I realised they had used your shot of her for their article. :) - JuneGloom Talk 15:56, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha! Thanks for showing me, that made me chuckle. Newspapers steal our screenshots often. I have seen them take Pat recently too and various others over the years for their websites. The funniest is when you see that they have copied, almost verbatim, from something you've actually written on wikipedia. Lazy journalists do it quite often on their soap articles that are published online. Bit of a liberty really! They did it loads when it was anounced Mandy would be returning but there's been tons of examples over the years. It muddies waters a little, because a) If an editor didnt know differently, we could get accused of plagiarising their text instead of the other way around! and b) if something is written on wiki based on OR or biased wording, the replication by the press instantly gives it credible secondary source, despit the fact that they copied it from the original research in the first place! GunGagdin^Moan 18:46, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Gungadin! Can you come up with a good DYK for Jill Marsden? Here is one I thought:

• that DCI Jill Marsden (Sophie Stanton) a fictional character in the BBC soap opera EastEnders appeared in her own spin-off Marsden's Video Diaries, where she discussed the suspects motives for murdering Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb) in the whodunnit storyline, Who Killed Archie in 2009?

- Many thanks MayhemMario 19:05, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would that be interesting to anyone? You can always submit it, it wouldnt do any harm. I think it's more interesting that she's the longest running police officer to have appeared in EE, but I dont think there's a source for that.GunGagdin^Moan 19:12, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did think it was a 'cool, then move on' quote, so thats why I asked you for help, can you do some of your magic and come up with any? If so, that'd be great! :D MayhemMario 19:17, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I dont understand what you mean, Mario? Do magic in what way? GunGagdin^Moan 20:57, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was hoping you could look through Jill's article and see any 'really good' bits of info that could be a DYK!! Sorry about the split of Jill, I feel awful! MayhemMario 20:59, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dont be sorry. I am two minds about the discussions anyway, because if notability has been satisfied, nobody really needs permission from anyone to create a standalone article. I dont really know what DYK looks for, as I have never got involved with that before. Maybe George or Rain would be better to ask as I think they have more experience with it.GunGagdin^Moan 21:04, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can try - but i'm not sure they'll let you have that one because it is in-universe. It has to be a real world fact. They got really strict at the end of last year with all submissions - They also try and reject if it needs a copy edit or the hook fact in the article is not imediately followed by a citation.Rain the 1 22:16, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Has the list entry been expanded fivefold? - JuneGloom Talk 22:30, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It seems unlikely. We had another DYK rulebreak with a split-off article, I doubt this one wil be an expansion. I don't want any more rulebreaks! People need to be more careful and learn the DYK rules. –anemoneprojectors– 14:27, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right here are the figures, User:MayhemMario/sandbox:JJJ says that Marsden's list article was 7,105 and Jill Marsden (EastEnders) is 43,130 (Latest revison:AnemoneProjectors). So if I get my math correct, thats 5 times. MayhemMario 19:55, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it's 20,282 - If you don't count the the citation's hidden text. No where near 5x the amount of actual prose. :)Rain the 1 20:16, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you can't count citations and stuff, just the actual text that readers will read. –anemoneprojectors– 14:59, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have found a source that would represent the fictional character truly, hopefully: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/tv-film-news/eastenders-and-coronation-street-soap-favourites-170592

File:Mark Fowler (David Scarboro).jpg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Look at an image of Ben Mitchell (EastEnders). One image that collects two photos. What do you and GSorby think? You uploaded them, and GSorby made some changes. Well, I couldn't contact GSorby first because... I don't know how he would react; maybe against the way I do, maybe accuse me of "commandeering", or something... Anyway, what should I or anyone else do?

By the way, I already created File:David Scarboro Mark Fowler EastEnders BBC.jpg intended for David Scarboro article. I removed the screenshot image from that article (without getting it deleted) for lacking a rationale there. --George Ho (talk) 10:11, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I understand what you are trying to do. but just because you are merging two images into one file, doesnt mean you arent using two fair use images unfortunately. Both images would still need justifying.GunGagdin^Moan 17:58, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To imply, it would be better to leave two alone than to upload a collaborate image, correct? --George Ho (talk) 20:40, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think unless you have a rationale that would justify comparing the way they look to each other, as seems to be the case in Ben Mitchell article, then have two images merged would be pointless. I suppose nothing would stop you uploading each promo separately if you thought they better represented the character for some reason? I would suggest asking the EE wiki project to get wider opinion.GunGagdin^Moan 20:47, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I don't know if you've thought about it, but have you considered adding the {{User wikipedia/Rollback}} and {{User wikipedia/Autopatrolled}} to your user page? I was going to add them, but I didn't know of you were fond of them. Instead, you could have the icons in one of the corners. It will add you to the specific wiki categories. Thanks.--Chip123456 (talk) 20:24, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Erm, I dont understand the importance of having them, so no, I havent thought about it b4.GunGagdin^Moan 22:20, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LMAO ... that is all...Rain the 1 22:48, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, it's just that it can add you to the Rollbacker and Autopatrolled catergories! But yes, there's no real importance having them there, I just thought you'd might! --Chip123456 (talk) 06:48, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I remember when Inside Soap were doing producer interviews in late 2011, the author asked if he was to re-introduce Sharon after the departure of Ronnie. There was a good quote there (as of what I can remember) so although I no longer have a copy; you could ask someone for this. Hope this helps! — M.Mario (T/C) 16:00, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is an article about a fictional character and discusses the reasons leading up to the actor and therefore the character leaving.

Hi. When you recently edited Sharon Watts, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Daily Star (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hiya!

I saw your post on Sharon Watts' talk page about possibly nominating her for GA. Just to say if you do, if you want I can review her, like I did with Dot Cotton. I watch the page but I actually make very few edits to her page for some reason. I checked the history before I suggested this and I think I counted 3 edits in the last year lol and even then all of them were to insert hidden comments about Bryan Kirkwood so not exactly major edits. I do know a lot about EastEnders and sometimes it helps if the reviewer knows a bit about their subject! Drop me a line if you need a hand :)--5 albert square (talk) 21:43, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Gungadin;

Finally have info on Sachak:

Court kindly confirmed basic details. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/55096653/aftab%20sachak.pdf

In 1973 he used an Afghan Passport as proof of identity to support a cheque that I negotiated for him. The cheque drawn on a Canadian Bank was unfortunately a returned unpaid as a forgery. Sachak was always utterly as charming as he was believable; however he was most emphatic on his background. The attached link to a scanned document form Isleworth Crown court is in the public domain and is available from them upon request. My objective is to amend his wiki entry to reflect the truth, and to correct the inaccuracies. Would you like me to take a stab at it and perhaps we can fine tune any issues to ensure the finished product meets wiki required standards? At the moment for instance opening paragraph lacks any attestation so IMHO beaches these requirements “Aftab Sachak is an actor, whose career has been primarily based in the United Kingdom. Born in East Africa to a wealthy family, Sachak went to an English public school before studying acting.[1]”

Aftab Sachak is an actor, whose career has been primarily based in the United Kingdom. Born in Afghanistan.[1] I do no dispute the fact that Mills wrote this in his book, but critically that the information contained in it is incorrect. Just because it’s in his book, does not make it factually true or indeed amend history.

My previous amendment which was reverted is manifestly correct.

Appreciate your assistance to restore the balance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jivebaby (talk • contribs) 16:41, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but there is nothing special about this image. In fact, readers may already understand the text of divorce papers without the need of image, no matter what. I've done images before for Hill Street Station, and I realize that text may replace an unnecessary image. --George Ho (talk) 14:30, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, File:Wilmmott kathy.jpg and File:Eeowendenise.JPG may be replaceable because the text makes readers understand the image MORE THAN the image does. In other words, they may fail WP:NFCC#1, and I already understand "assault" and "rape" without the need of image. Unsure about File:Dot Lou Ethel ee.jpg, but you have uploaded these images, so I wonder if I can understand how Wikipedia works. If text is already understand, then why is an image necessary? --George Ho (talk) 14:37, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Natasha Little.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

I think I can replace one of the images that you uploaded with a free image of John Partridge. It may not be a true representation to the fictional character, but I think one non-free image is enough, and free image is better than none. The first appearance, depicted in the section image, is not explicitly mentioned (WP:NFCC#8), and what difference would omitting just one image make? In other words, we can retain one of non-free image as an infobox image and an existing free image of an actor. I've already discussed this with GSorby, whom I parted with bad terms, so what do you say? --George Ho (talk) 14:46, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AP, and thank you for the welcome back!! Life got very hectic over the last year and wiki fell by the wayside. I haven't even watched EE for about 8 months. I know nothing of the current stuff. Hopefully I can still contribute in some way around here when I can though.GunGagdin^Moan 14:54, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aww! You've probably not missed too much though. Will you start watching again? There are new characters for you, and some that have gone. I'm sure Wiki can help you get up to date, though storylines haven't been updated a lot for some people. You can always still work on the older stuff :-) –anemoneprojectors– 17:59, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hello there. Remember me? I am here because I need your assistance on Carol Jackson. AP tells me you own EastEnders books. Would you happen to have "Eastenders": The First Ten Years - A Celebration or "Albert Square & Me: The Actors of Eastenders"? If so please would you be able to find out whether or not you can attribute page numbers to the information present in Carol Jackson's article? I was tidying the article up and I only own two of the four books used for sources.Rain the 1 16:49, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya Rain. How're you? Nice to see you are still around. Did we ever make Ken a featured article? My wiki memory is drying up!! I have the first ten years. If I added info from the other book, it was when there were previews to it on Google Books. They might still be there. Things seem to have changed a lot in regard to book referencing since I last edited properly here. I will dig out the book when I visit my parents next. GunGagdin^Moan 18:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. I am glad to know you check back sometimes. =] We did not know, but the process is so difficult to get to FA that I would never dare again. lol That is great news about the book. I have another load of magazines with Carol Jackson info to add - but I do not know when I will get around to it. So there is obviously no rush. But great that you own the book. You should totally come back to editing more too.Rain the 1 21:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I hadnt checked back in ages, but for some reason I popped on. I would like to edit again but It's hard juggling full time work and editing - At least editing to the standard and dedication that I was used to and I hate doing things by halves. It's nice thinking that some of my contributions are still about though. I put in so many hours to some of the eastenders articles and it's nice to think that info is still about for everyone to read (then I think, 'actually, no bugger reading will ever know or care how much effort I put into those bloody pages!!' lol). I think I might be coming up to nearly a decade of editing too. So scary!!! I think some of the articles we did at wiki EE were pretty awesome, as were Ken Barlow and Mavis! We rocked on those together Rain :)I have enjoyed my mini edit on Sharon today. Who knows, maybe the wiki bug has bitten again.xx GunGagdin^Moan 01:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gungadin, I'm so glad to see you editing again! You did a brilliant job of cutting down Sharon - you were always brilliant at this stuff as things always end up overly detailed. And you don't know how many times I wished you could come back permanently just to help write character articles! There are loads that should have independent articles but there's nobody to write them. Have you seen Mick Carter yet?! –anemoneprojectors– 23:16, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya AP. So nice of you to say! I enjoyed my little Sharon edit. I will try and help out when I can. Mick's an awesome article already. That's quite something for a character who's been in it about a week! Who still edits EE articles these days? Is Mario and George still about? GunGagdin^Moan 08:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

George hasn't edited since November, Mario since September (regularly since April). The real killer is losing Frickative - she hasn't edited since March 2012. We lost Junipers Liege in October 2010. All people who would write really good articles. Now we just have about five active members. Even IPs aren't that interested in updating storylines anymore!! –anemoneprojectors– 12:13, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully things change one day. It is hard to believe there used to be a whole host of active editors around all these articles.Rain the 1 22:51, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya!

OK, I think I have now re-inserted all the images back into their articles that were scheduled for deletion and removed all the deletion templates. Whilst I'm at it, do you need any of the images above that were deleted un-deleted?--5 albert square (talk) 01:49, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked at the EE articles tonight and I think I've managed to restore them. I don't know what the editor did to Lola Pearce but I had to completely clean the file out, looks as if it became corrupt with whatever they did. Anyway, the majority of the present characters should now be back to the correct images, however when I have more time tomorrow I will check every character--5 albert square (talk) 06:56, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

His 5AS, thanks for doing this. Youre a star. I will have a look through the deleted images above and see if there's anything worth saving. I think the quality of the images that GSorby (and prior to him myself)took are superior and I think that unless similar quality images are taken as replacements, it shouldnt matter if they have a slightly new hairstyle. Nice to see youre still about by the way!!! GunGagdin^Moan 12:44, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Shobu Kapoor

The article Shobu Kapoor has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced BLP

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Martin Fowler

Hiya!

I uploaded a new image of Martin Fowler (EastEnders) earlier due to his head transplant last Friday. My opinion is because there is now 3 images of Martin in the infobox. I tried making the images of James Alexandrou and Jon Peyton-Price smaller as they're obviously no longer the main images, however I don't think that's made much difference. I don't want to lose the images, however I'm not sure how we'd fit them into the article if we move them out of the infobox. Thoughts?--5 albert square (talk) 22:22, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Yeah I see your point. I think the baby image, while nice, isnt necessary given that actually Martin was pretty much mute until James took the role on. Also, I dont know why I took a grab of the original as a baby when there I could have taken an older image of him where he actually had some more pronounced facial characteristics other than generic baby looks! I always intended to do a creation for Martin. There is parts to tell as he was the first baby. I guess we can delete/orphan the baby image now, and if I ever get around to adding the creation a Peyton image can be re-added, though in honesty I guess it's not an essential and would never pass a fair use deletion debate. Maybe there's a promo of james as Martin for the alternative we can find too.GunGagdin^Moan 00:36, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for that. I've removed the image now but what I've done is taken a screenshot of it saved to my pc just in case we change our mind at a later date. That way we should still be able to do something with it. I didn't want to lose any images, however the infobox was becoming too crowded, however if I was to lose one it would be the one of Jon as James Alexandrou played the role for so many years. However, with removing the baby image I've managed to increase the size of the other two slightly :)

Do you agree that we should use promotional images from now on?--5 albert square (talk) 01:34, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for doing that. it looks much better. yes i agree that we should use promos when we can, as it stops the perpetual uploading of inferior images and actually looks better. we only ever used the screenshots because we were told (incorrectly) back when I started editing (which is a disturbing long time ago now - I realise coming up to ten years! I was a baby!!!) that we had a stronger rationale for using screenshots under fair use. So all the cast cards we originally had were replaced with screengrabs. But promos seem to be accepted under fairuse, so long as there is no overuse.GunGagdin^Moan 23:42, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I uploaded an image to Tina Carter earlier, when I did that I checked all the licenses out. From what I can see we can upload it as fairuse as a television screenshot, however the image is only allowed to be used on that one page. That sounds fair enough to me, besides it's easier to crop an image someone else has taken rather than try and take it from somewhere like Iplayer!--5 albert square (talk) 23:57, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa:, You can just delete this if you wish. This image was the one being discussed in the conversation above, we have decided to remove it from the article in order to prevent too many images being in the article and the infobox--5 albert square (talk) 03:16, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ina Clare

Hi

I wanted to get your opinion on the image of Ina Clare.

To me, that image is absolutely tiny and it literally just shows her face.

I tried to enlarge the existing image, however that then worsens the quality of the image. It's only at 100px just now, I tried 150px and I didn't like the look of it in the infobox :)

I found what I think is a better image of her here. I had a look at the licenses earlier as I also uploaded an image for Linda Carter and my understanding is that we could use this image, firstly because she is dead and secondly we can put it through as a newspaper scan. Do you reckon the images should be changed? Or do you have any images of Ina Clare that we can use?--5 albert square (talk) 18:32, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I agree your newly found image is much better than the current. I dont have any images of Ina. I dont think I had heard of her before now.GunGagdin^Moan 16:32, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Could you please take a look at this?

I'm wanting to check that this image is under the correct licence. I know the text only licence is correct for the first two images but the current one I'm not sure about as it also contains a police siren? So I thought I'd ask someone who knows a little more about the upload of images than I do :)--5 albert square (talk) 19:29, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 5AS, sorry replying so late. Happy (belated) xmas! I dont know much about this sort of file to be honest. I was only ever using screenshots when I used to upload and things seem different now when I have looked at the varying templates and requirements. I wonder if you could post this query on [[7]]? GunGagdin^Moan 13:41, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the licence needs the regular screenshot tag. Like this one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Young_sonia.jpg GunGagdin^Moan 13:46, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply, thanks for that. Happy New Year!--5 albert square (talk) 00:47, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Daphne Clarke.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Daphne Clarke.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shirley Carter

Hello! Nice to see you around :-) Thanks for cleaning up Shirley Carter, but I dunno, I'm strongly of the opinion that "backstory" sections in storylines shouldn't be used, but where "backstory" events are discovered, they should be mentioned in the storylines at the time of discovery, and any sourced backstory mentioned when a character is announced should be as part of the characterisation, as in Ray Dixon, for example. Putting a special "backstory" section isn't reflective of what happens on screen. That's what I think anyway - I've never liked backstory sections in storylines. What do you think? –anemoneprojectors– 22:21, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya. I don't have a strong opinion one way or another. But i mildly prefer them than not, because it makes condensing so much easier. These events are all discussed on screen, but aren't seen, so I guess it differentiates in that way. Maybe can ask 5AS and the other soap editors? GunGagdin^Moan 22:58, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with AP. It would possibly make the articles clearer too.--5 albert square (talk) 20:25, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, I've always left backstory sections as they are, because I find it very difficult to remove them and intregrate the information into the storylines. But thanks 5AS for your input. –anemoneprojectors– 08:58, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Hello old friend! Long time no speak...

I've come back to Wikipedia (rather shamelessly) to ask a favour... You were always Queen of Screenshots, and there are a few characters whose pictures I never saved back in the day when every EE infobox had a picture, before they were all deleted. Just wondering if you still have pics of any of the following? Joan Garwood, Suzy's son Kevin (1996), Ron Hanley and his sons/baby daughter, Aunt Sal's Harold, Jack Price, Susie Price (and her husband and son, Darren and Chris), Doreen and Louise Ellis, Lorraine Wicks's mum Hazel Foster, Helen Pappas and her husband Peter (21/2/06), Ruth Fowler's mum Maureen and brother John, and Zoe Cotton's brother Eddie from The Return of Nick Cotton. I'm putting together a huge EE family tree complete with pictures and these are the only ones I'm missing. If you could help in any way, I'd be hugely grateful. Hope you're well! -Trampikey^{(talk)(contribs)} 18:45, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
