lead

• A single-paragraph lead is a bit small for a 17k article
• It reads more like an introduction than a summary of the body
• I generally discourage citations in the lead, since it's supposed to be a summary
• I don't suppose you can photoshop out the person in the photo? ;)
  • Frickative has kindly improved the lead for me. It now has more citations but that's because there are now quotes, which require them. Frickative said she'd look at putting the writers part elsewhere as well (I couldn't find anywhere to put it since there was no other information on the writing process). The picture could be photoshopped, since that's allowed, and I think it would be great as she's just a random person with no connection to the show, but I don't have that abiity! –anemoneprojectors– 18:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
    • Wow, that's a lot bigger. Great work

Plot

• It's not what I would call excessively long, but if any non-essential details could be trimmed, it wouldn't hurt
  • Frickative has also kindly cut this down slightly. –anemoneprojectors– 18:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

refs

• The locations aren't strictly necessary, but you need to be consistent: add the location of all the refs or none at all, also, the linking is inconsistent (Nottingham is linked, but Birmingham isn't)
  • I've linked all the locations, I'll look at adding the rest of the locations later, assuming I can find out what those locations are.
• The Guardian is published by Guardian News and Media, GMG is the owner
  •  Done
• Don't pipe News Group Newspapers to News International—we have redirects for a reason
  •  Done

ELs

• What is peggystheme.com and why is it relevant?
  • It's the official website of the theme tune that was created for the last episode of the group. Do you think it's not relevant? –anemoneprojectors– 08:38, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
    • Well now I know that, I would say it is relevant, but it might help to explain that in the article. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:30, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
      • "Peggy's Theme" is mentioned, so I thought it would be clear why the link was there. –anemoneprojectors– 19:34, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

The main issue is the lead. At least, that's the only serious point from a GA perspective. I'll leave this on hold to give you a chance to make the necessary fixes. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 04:09, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

• You would appear to have a couple of dead links n the refs. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:36, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
  • I found one, but the other one I couldn't find because there's no quote or anything in specific to search for on Google. I don't use findarticles.com (Frickative found those links for me), but I thought it was an archive. As it's from a newspaper, can we remove the link and cite the printed version? Though I have no idea what the page number (etc) would be. I also replaced another findarticles.com link, that would probably go dead as well. –anemoneprojectors– 19:59, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
  • I've also searched the Mail on Sunday (Daily Mail)'s website for "EastEnders" mentions that week and can't find anything for "soap of the day" –anemoneprojectors– 20:09, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
    • I'm going to pass this no that all the essential points have been addressed, but you'll need to find a replacement ref or remove the stuff about Soap of the Day at some point. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:46, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
      • Thank you. I promise I'll do something about that soon. –anemoneprojectors– 21:35, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
      • Oh Frickative already found it elsewhere! –anemoneprojectors– 21:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
