Fair use rationale for File:Tracey eastenders character.png
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Tracey eastenders character.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 5 albert square (talk) 20:35, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Tracey eastenders character.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

- My edits were not unconstructive so why have they been removed or reverted?
- Because you uploaded a non-free image that was bad quality, the resolution was too high and you kept putting it back in; we call that vandalism. And we can't use images in lists. GSσяву Chat with Me! 19:43, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Hollyoaks
[edit]I'm getting confused about you. Maybe you need a push in the right direction, I don't think you are intentionally adding things to be disruptive. However - Hollyoaks Later characters shouldn't be added to the list of main show characters. They are mainly bit parts, which have better context in the Hollyoaks later article. Also repeating the same reference as you did causes problems on the page, when you want to use the same link more than once you can name the source and reuse it. I know that is totally confusing and feels like I'm speaking another language, cus when I first joined I didn't understand it. We need more HO editors though, hopefully you stick to it. Just had to explain because I think you may be wondering why I keep removing them.Rain the 1 BAM 02:35, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I thought they should be added but you do whatever you feel is right as we are still unsure if the new McQueen will be joining the full cast. I was confused about referencing thanks for clearing that up.
- So are you sticking around editing HO? We so need more editors - i'll help you learn the reference thing. :)Rain the 1 BAM 19:39, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Yeah im going to when i get time. Any particular area that needs help editing or is it just generally Hollyoaks?
- Well the aim is to get them promoted to Good article status like Steph Cunningham, Loretta Jones, Zoe Carpenter and Ste Hay. Articles such as Tony, Cindy and Mandy could be so better. Plus The Costello's articles need real world info adding. There is more storyline content than real info such as casting, development and reception. Digitalspy, the tabloids, HO official website are the best places to add info from. But it is anything you would like to do really, when you have the time.Rain the 1 BAM 20:46, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Yeah i noticed Cindy's was bad before and i didn't even have much in the way of SL's so i'll focus on them when i get a chance. If i need help referencing i'll ask.
Rain why do you keep editing out the upcoming characters and returning characters into one. They should be separate as are two different things and all other UK soaps use this method.
- Well all the editors converse, under the wikiproject for Soap Opera's - but UK Soaps are run by different smaller sister projects. (Due to the amount of articles) They decided on the layout amongst themselves. Neighbours use the same method, it works better when there is only one character rerturning and not much point creating a new sub-section. If there were more returnees it would make sense splitting the two. I can create a discussion if you like, but whatever gets decided will be the consensus and hard to change back into switching between the two.. Just a little helper, you may notice signatures appear when new messages are left, to do this you need to do four this character "~ ~ ~ ~" but without the spacing.Rain the 1 BAM 22:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks its fine if thats the way the consensus says do it that way D4nnyw14 (talk) 07:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Amy Winehouse link
[edit]Hi there. I don't want to be rude or negative in any way, but I just wanted to say that I think that this edit was probably a mistake. I do see that you were just trying to help the editor who requested the link. Trouble is, he can't do it, you can, so you are taking on the responsibility of adding good content to the encyclopaedia. If you have a look at the site he wanted linking you'll see that it doesn't add anything to our article (indeed it copies some of its text). I don't think that the editor's motivation is necessarily to do with improving wikipedia. They have exactly 1 edit in the whole of wp and that is that request, so it's not like they are committed users and have shown previous history of wanting to improve it. Finally, the site appears to be owned by a person of the same name as the editor who made the request. I hate to sound cynical, but none of it adds up to something that can meet WP:EL - instead, I look at the paid ads, and the links to Amazon (where the site owner will make money if people click through and buy AW stuff from that visit) and it just doesn't look like an improvement. Sorry if this sounds censorious but I thought you might want to know more about why I reverted your addition. With thanks and best wishes, DBaK (talk) 00:10, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
I know now, i've read the EL page properly and will try not to link to unhelpful websites in future. I understand why you did it and i didn't look at the EL that was asked to be linked properly. Sorry again D4nnyw14 (talk) 00:13, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
- No worries, and thank you for the nice reply. I am quite sure that anyone looking at it would appreciate that you were trying to help. Cheers! DBaK (talk) 00:16, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
No problem thanks for the friendly and helpful reply and trying to give me a push in the right direction. D4nnyw14 (talk) 00:19, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Yo
[edit]Hey. I need to bring up the parapharsing again. ATM there are a lot of editors hunting down articles with copy vios.
"When I first got the storyline through I was quite surprised really, because of the nature of the bullying and with it being racist, which is quite controversial. Also with some of the things that Gaz does to Anita. I was quite shocked really, I thought wow these are going to be some quite dark scenes, and I don't know whether anything like this has been shown before on Hollyoaks. It was good for me because I saw it as a chance to do something new, since it's very different from the normal school scenes we do. But yeah, I just felt really glad to be given the chance to do something like this - it was a big challenge".
....could be...
When Choudry found out about the storyline, she was "quite surprised". She said the nature of the story was controversial and she felt shocked at some of things Gaz does to Anita. Choudry was not certain Hollyoaks had ever aired such "dark scenes" of racism before. The storyline gave Choudry a chance to "do something new" as she had previously been filming "normal school scnes." Speaking on the opportunity to portray the storyline, she added: "I just felt really glad to be given the chance to do something like this - it was a big challenge."
BTW... I'm by no means that good at grammar, so you can tweak it if you like. I'd also like to say to you that it is awesome to have you on board. You've learned all this wiki stuff fast and it's great that Hollyoaks is getting the majority of your editing attention. :DRaintheOne BAM 01:18, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
Done and i'll try to remember in future. Im forgetful so if i forget feel free to remind me anytime. Thanks and yeah im going to try to contribute more to HO now as EE and CS already have alot of editors and HO only has a few and attracts loads of vandalism and mess. I'm still learning but i am getting there :D D4nnyw14 (talk) 01:21, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
- Eastenders have been the lucky ones in terms of editor numbers. I just seem to edit every soap these days. I'm still on Gina, I'm determined to bleed the sources dry for info. I think Sol has quite a bit, not sure about Kate though as she seems to be the weakest link. But we'll see how it plays out.RaintheOne BAM 01:32, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

- We have to find the screencaps. If it is a screencap from a website, don't cite the website in the rationale as they have taken it from the show itself. I use tartydoris, youtube, 4oD to aquire screenshots. If you are gonna upload any, try and make them fitted to the top of the head to just below the neck. I'm sure you've noticed most image are this perfect square so they fit into the infobox. There is no set rule, I guess we just all felt it looked neater.RaintheOne BAM 02:36, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't want to work on that article. If you notice the talk page, you'll see why. I hated the article in any case and was asked to create the thing. It was a real bad idea.. really. It needs show info rather than casting. I think the main Hollyoaks article is the one in need of help.. other than that, It's character articles. lolRaintheOne BAM 22:55, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

I think as Gareth is still credited it means George, Callum and Neil were introduced by him.RaintheOne BAM 20:24, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Updated by an IP already.D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah he's in tommorow, today's E4. Should the titles being changed (AGAIN!) be mentioned on the main page? They're changed so often but alot of cast have been removed maybe we should add it to the titles section?D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:10, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- So Callum appears first tomorrow right? He wasn't at the party was he?RaintheOne BAM 19:57, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Ok then just wanted to check you weren't planning on it or had started in a sandbox before i started editing her D4nnyw14 (talk) 10:38, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
I've got you the latest interview with Darren and Nancy - interview - "We want a massive soap wedding!", Inside Soap, issue 36, 10 - 16 september 2011, page 38 by Laura-Jayne Tyler.RaintheOne BAM 00:05, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thankyou :) i'll make use of it soon, still haven't used upall the sources :P i'll be alot more active on the weekend but will be able to do a few minor edits in the week and HO later has been on all week so hardly had any editing time.D4nnyw14 (talk) 17:38, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- I know what you mean about HO.. Though if they kill Rae I'll scream!!! Haha about the link, i was up late - this is the right oneRaintheOne BAM 18:56, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm sad that it looks like it'll be Rae. I'm in the minority but i love her. Don't know who else they could kill though except the really unlikable sixth formers although they're too new and Ruby is becoming likeable as is Leanne and a McQueen would be a silly idea as there too popular and Mandy could reappear again soon if Dunn will agree, when her career doesn't take off and she needs another boost. Rae looks likely though and Theresa would be too stupid to believe, especially as they could have killed her in the schock lift thing months ago. D4nnyw14 (talk) 19:11, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- I think she is great too. They have just never used her to her full potential either. Have some stuff I keep meaning to add to her article too. I just wish they'd off bumbed someone like Liberty off..RaintheOne BAM 20:45, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- Late reply but yeah i know. Liberty is awful but won't be offed due to the expansion of the Savages *yawn* i'm only just getting used to Dodger and Will. There's Tex, Sinead, Dianne and Heidi who could also die but Heidi and Tex will have to find out properly first or Tex will have to get his attention again. Sinead and Dianne haven't done anything either. Liberty and Rae seem likely but they're investing to much in Liberty yet and the irish lot are safe for now as are the McQueens D4nnyw14 (talk) 21:18, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

RAE!!!!! RAE!!! I'm in mourning. The only good side is she just became a really notable Hollyoaks character lolRaintheOne BAM 23:20, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

- You'll probably hate me for this.. but Michaela McQueen... now has two images. What needs to be done is there needs to be some characterisation added to justify two images from two of her appearances. As we go by the most notable/most recognisable, the blond should have stayed put for now. An idea would be to find some info about her blond wig she used to wear. Try to find something mentioning the bows she always used to wear. Use it in the fair use rationale etc... Btw, this is why I never uploaded one with pink hair. I think a character like Rosie Webster will be justified really easy because I've collected a mountain of refs to justify her new image. So that is what we need to look out for with Michaela.RaintheOne BAM 23:13, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- I know i'll look later and if she goes back to blonde then we can just have one image but i'll have a look for refs and stuff about her wigs.D4nnyw14 (talk) 10:20, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

You won't be able to use the piczo hosted interview because it is a fansite. The second source is okay, but it will only do for reception - as the hair info is exclusively about Hollie. You'll have to do a cite interview for these but make sure the dates are correct if you find a youtube video. The date is right here. I've set it out for you, but you will have to include the "< ref > tags"

There is a follow up video to this btw, the one I meant. She names her wig.. :/ lolRaintheOne BAM 20:21, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

- Apart from the two tweaks i made the only other thing i can think of is the beginning of the storylines e.g. "Rae moved out of" should be moves in keeping with the present tense consensus and the characterisation section could do with a small expansion.

Fr Francis
[edit]I was out and missed HO first look, is Fr Francis' real name Nathan Harker then? I just noticed someone changed it, but it should still be father francis because it is his common name - so was going to change it and move Nathan Harker to an Alias field in the ibox - but wanted to verify it.RaintheOne BAM 17:58, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
- I changed it. Thought it should be Nathan but you can do it either way. Yeah he admited his name was Nathan and they saw a wanted poster on the internet with the name Nathan Harker on it. Change it if you want. D4nnyw14 (talk) 18:08, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't notice you did it. I'm being lazy lately aren't I. :/ I'll change it only because it is his credited name for the longest. :) Another thing I keep wondering is what Steph's article should really be named. She was Dean the longest but had a hefty amount of sources while called Cunningham. What do you think?RaintheOne BAM 18:38, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
- That is tricky. In my mind i think of her as Steph Cunningham not Dean but that's only me. It could be changed to Dean but i think alot of the audience will remember her as Cunningham. Just don't dare change it to Roach or i may have to vandalise it.D4nnyw14 (talk) 19:30, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Danny, you do realise I got the correct order? (Like the Hollyoaks credits did, even Hollywood films use the order I did) And think about it, why would I redlink Kelly? Because I'm creating a section for her in the 2011 list.RaintheOne BAM 19:17, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- We should either have both section filled with their names or just the actor. They're playing themselves the character isn't playing the actor which is the way it reads. I don't want to start an edit war though especially with you. Maybe we should ask more people and i'll accept it either way if others agree.D4nnyw14 (talk) 19:20, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Just have a rethink. The official HO credits listed list Amy played by Ashley Slanina-Davies... Louis played by himself. If you read the table the way I did it "Oh this character Kelly is played by Danielle Malone, and she is appearing on the 10 October... Louis is played by Louise himself and is appearing on the 10 October" Vs your version is "As himself is played by Louis and is appearing on 10 October".RaintheOne BAM 19:33, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
I have. Maybe both should be filled with the same so Louis played by Louis Souyaye. The version saying Louis played by himself makes sense written as it is here but not in the table because the field is actor and the actor is supposedly himself.D4nnyw14 (talk) 19:38, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- The characters name is Louis Souyaye as it says "As himself" so Louis Souyaye played by Louis Souyaye. That would be a middle ground we can meet on. The problem is you are reading the table wrong. You are looking at it from one line, but it is a table. You are reading the line as "As himself is Louis S and appears on ..." but "As himself" is in the character field. "As himself" is not a character, but the actor is playing himself in a soap. The page is a list of characters too! If you still cannot agree ask other people, but now as I want to add Michaela's return info and a section on Kelly, so want it dealt with. :pRaintheOne BAM 20:00, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Could you help keep an extra close eye on List of Hollyoaks characters (2011) - I'm just tired of IP's now. Why do they remove refs from trivial characters such as Colin Grimshaw - it is beyond me. I'm sick of adding refs and months later finding out they have been removed. ARGGG some HO fans :DRaintheOne BAM 01:04, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
- I've added sections for Kelly and Daytona Lights in the 2011 list. I hope I've done it proud, because I wanted to tell the whole story, as it is sooooooo confusing. Not sure about the table, but the infobox mock up I did looked even worse. lol I think if by New Years eve, the SL is big and afterward the band to become big on the charts (Hmmm... Abi Philips) - then a seperate article could be in the making. Another thing, the 2011 is so behind on the times anyway. I'm thinking we could start building sections for the students and sixth formers? Would you be willing?RaintheOne BAM 04:22, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

- Nearly finished. Requested HO to be added to the popular pages ages ago but hasn't come through yet and has disappeared from request list.D4nnyw14 (talk) 21:21, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Have you tried asking why it was removed or readding it? Oh and we reported MelHart for being a sockpuppet, we she have to keep an extra eye out to see if he returns. There was a case last night of someone updated the whole 2011 list, I'm wondering about them.RaintheOne BAM 22:11, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- I'll keep any eye out. One less disruptive editer to worry about. You should invite them, i probably wouldn't have stuck around if you hadn't invited me. Erm no you can't make requests until november after some software updates so it might still be there just can't see it. if i do request a new one should i request a corrie one too?D4nnyw14 (talk) 06:46, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah you mays well. I probably will, but I always watch them first incase it is one of the sockpuppets. Anyway - Template:WikiProject Hollyoaks/class is a mask I've created. Only problem is it has even more categories - So will you help add the project banners to the new types on their talk pages. So all Wikipropject HO pages need the Project banner, all Images need the File class adding, all redirects need the redirect adding.RaintheOne BAM 20:17, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

- I don't know, I wouldn't have Emily - but then thats my POV - that was why I left it because I realised it has to be all or nothing to justify using certain characters - as others could see some as more important and disagree.

Russ is certainly a main feature for Mercedes. Silas' part, if it were me, I'd include it in a section about the wedding. As for the source's ifno, I'd put that before all the calvin stuff in the malachy section. :)RaintheOne BAM 15:40, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Riley's new pic was an odd choice - off center, not facing the camera, he looks the same as always - Have you been drinking again. :pRaintheOne BAM 22:22, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
- Haha no i'm sober unfortunately. It was because in the first pic i thought he looked a bit ratty and i try and cap images where the characters face is as neutral as possible but in Riley's first pic he had his mouth half open. Think i'm just going to skip Russ section as it might of been a big sl for her but isn't really highly publicised.D4nnyw14 (talk) 22:27, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
- I've seen a nice screen shot of Riley from two weeks ago somewhere, I'll try and find it. I'll find some Russ sources for ya another time if ya like.RaintheOne BAM 22:37, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
- You can try if you want but it's impossible but any sources are a huge help. That'd be good, i'm going to do some more caps tommorow tried a few ep's and Mercy was either off centred or looking too happy or grouchy. Anyway i'm off for the night.D4nnyw14 (talk) 22:40, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit]I've started a new discussion, do you want a archive page btw? Cindy's image is causing aggro haha.

- Darren didn't have a big exit, he just annoyed everyone and was friendless - Darren and Jack were basically like they didn't have a father/son relationship either, they were always arguing, dunno what about now. Not sure about the return, he just turned up the same as before causing trouble with Jack and he went after Debbie. I am so annoyed at the 2011 list because of the usual suspects - IP's, so just had to do a little something.RaintheOne BAM 15:23, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

- Ahh thanks anyway. Just one last thing, Jack gave Darren his half of the Dog just a few days before he lost it? this source doesn't clarify it but i'm sure i remember that was how it happened. D4nnyw14 (talk) 16:25, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

- Darren begins a relationship with Luke. :D I never noticed this comment btw - I think you have the storylines perfect for now. I've noticed one thing btw - You've got a bad case of character/actor name overlink. In some instances you have linked actor names without indecating to the general reader, which character the actor plays. Another thing, are you going to be working on Luke again in the future? If you are, I have something of great use.RaintheOne BAM 17:53, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, delinking is a tedious task, would you like me to sort it out?RaintheOne BAM 18:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- I'll do the delinking if you can explain further what you mean exactly :p and probably a yes to Luke as theres potential with him especially with the male rape storyline. D4nnyw14 (talk) 18:02, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- After browsing the freelibrary i found this and then this which was a week later. So i'm sure his exit could be something like "Darren suggests that Luke might be gay and his rape was his own fault. Mandy breaks up with Darren. Darren trashes Ruth's flat and is evicted. He leaves the village" which seems the likely way events panned out especially as he had no where to live and had no girlfriend or friends. D4nnyw14 (talk) 18:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah that is okay then. What I meant was, like you link Suzanne, Hannah, Sean, Jack & Francine more than once - only the first instance should be linked. You link Tony but do not put Nick Picard in Brackets after the name. However, later you say "Nick Pickard said" - but the reader will not know who it is. You'd only have to adress Nick by his second name after the first instance. After the first mention of ATD - you should adress him by his second name through out. The one I really noticed in the first line of the reception section - you adress him by his full name and even wikilink him. Just that kinda thing.RaintheOne BAM 20:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Darren Osborne
[edit]Lead
- The order of events is not inline with continuity... Is is currently "first played by Booth - then played by Dawson - Alex auditioned - Dawson left and returned.... BUT Phil Redmond introduced Darren" - I think moving the introduced line up to flow from - "Darren was introduced by executive producer Phil Redmond as part of the Osborne family and debuted amongst Jack Osborne and Celia Osborne, his parents. Darren was initially played by Adam Booth when he made his first on-screen appearance on 18 November 1996." - is better.
- You mention Darren being reintroduced into the serial in 1999, but before that make no mention of him leaving.
- You need to somehow clarify at which time Carter auditioned for Darren - initial casting or recast?
- Darren was introduced by executive producer Phil Redmond as part of the Osborne family and debuted amongst Jack Osborne and Celia Osborne, his parents. sound a little wordy and could be "Series creator Phil Redmond introduced Darren alongside his parents, Jack and Celia Osborne." or "Series creator Phil Redmond introduced Darren as part of the Osborne family." - otherwise it is asif you are making the same point twice.
- "Dawson stayed in the part until 2000 when he left before returning full time to the role in 2003." is included three events chopped up into the same sentence and misleading - as "returning full time" suggests he was only there part time prior to his return. A suggestion is "In 2000, Dawson decided to leave Hollyoaks to concentrate on other projects. Dawson returned to filming in 2003 and has since remained part of the cast."
- "He was initially portrayed as a "bad boy" type character although he later matured." could be "Darren was characterised as a "bad boy" who matures throughout his tenure."
- Fix to this: "Some of Darren's
His morenotable storylines include" - stating those are his notable storylines and the other are not that notable - We wouldn't include anything that is not notable. ;) - In your critics finisher in the lead you make one of the GA reviewers favourite questions applicable. "Others have criticised" - They'll want to know which publications.
The last line is awkward: change to "Dawson has received various awards nominations from his portrayal of Darren".
- Finally, are there any interesting facts about any of his notable storylines - which you think general readers may find interesting - and in turn make them want to read the rest of the article?
Links In the "Storylines" section - You need to remove pipelinks from and add actor names to the following: Dawn, Luke, Mark, Scott, Debbie Dean, Dan, Steph, Jess aka Jessica, Newt, Niall, Rhys and Neville.

- Reference numbers 9, 32, 51, 58, 127 and 133 - from E4 - No.133 has the publisher missing. However, they current read "E4.com (E4)" when it should be "E4.com (Channel Four Television Corporation)"
- Reference number 3, Just like E4, this one from Channel4.com should have "(Channel Four Television Corporation)"
- Reference number 60, the book source, the isbn number should be 0-7522-2000-4 instead of "0752220004" (Which was my fault)
- Many Digital Spy references have the publisher field attributed to Hachette Filipacchi when it should be Hachette Filipacchi UK.
- In the storyline section, towards the end, you have "She gives birth on 21 January 2011 to Jack and Francine.[125][57]" - those two refs will need swapping around, so [57] is before [125]. Don't ask why they need to be in numerical order... lol
Random
- At the end of the section "Fatherhood" you have a section break. I think you may have done this to stop the image from falling into the next section - however it does not matter if it does. Instead you have created an unwanted white space.
- You have three quote boxes, one is blue. Just a suggestion but you could make them all the same colour. (The blue is good, but you may prefer white)
- Eamon Fisher - You just say "the man" in the Fake death scam section, though you do link and refer to Eamon in the storylines. You'll need to include his name and actor name in the Fake death scam section and delink and adress him by his first name in the storyline section.
- Thanks for all the help with this, i'll probably have some more wiki time tommorow so will hopefully be able to begin looking through these and making changes. D4nnyw14 (talk) 22:30, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
- Not sure who started the "since this date" thing with occupations... we don't go around saying "from 1998 until 2000" do we. Btw, wasn't Darren a student once before 2010?RaintheOne BAM 00:16, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
- Something i've never really noticed. Erm not really sure, think he was but can't be certain.
Pics
[edit]Images of Steph Waring (there were absolutely no images of her on flickr until like a few weeks ago) and Emmet coming soon. D4nnyw14 (talk) 16:08, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

- Taylor and Lucy - but that is perfect. What Catchpole is doing, is offering his opinion of how much each actor should earn based on their performance in the shows - followed by a bitchy comment about their fictional counterparts. We can just remove Carl tomorrow from the list.RaintheOne BAM 21:21, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

When is Charlotte in them, is she the woman standing next to Brendan because im sure thats Cindy or the woman watching tv who im sure is India? D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:06, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

- Lol Pause the video and drag the bar right back to the beggining of the video, and Jasmine, Rhys and Charlotte are inside the locker behind Amber. They got the footage from the official website of the guys who make all of the titles here [7]RaintheOne BAM 20:21, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- They were posted on DS last week but no one noticed really.. [8]RaintheOne BAM 20:27, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- That was so brief! Maybe it wouldn't have been if it was the whole titles but still feel sorry for them when Amber gets more title screen time! So it doesn't look likely we'll get any more footage unless the website owner uploads more which would be nice but seems unlikely D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:28, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

A rough idea ... and it is a little sketchy ... -- Stephen later compared Darren to the Greek government debt crisis and quipped that he "is to money what Greece is to global financial security". She added that viewers should never become optimistic about his finances improving because "there’s always a snake to bring him crawling back down to Earth." --RaintheOne BAM 17:32, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Darren Osborne GAN
[edit]Hi D4nnyw14, I just finished this GAN. When you look at it, you'll notice that I recommended a copyedit. I usually offer to copyedit the articles I review, mostly because I think it's easier to just copyedit an article instead of going through it making suggestions like they do at FAC. Let me know if you'd like me to do so; I'm willing to help it pass to GA. Please know, though, that although I'm very familiar with the soap genre, I've never seen one episode of Hollyoaks. Up to you, let me know, and Happy New Year. ;) Christine (talk) 22:34, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hi thanks for the review. I'll attempt the copyedit myself but if i fail at it then i'd be grateful for your help. D4nnyw14 (talk) 23:37, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
- No sweetie, you misunderstand. My recommendation is that you locate a copyeditor with no prior connections to the article--someone with "fresh eyes", someone other than you. I suggest that look for such a copyeditor at WP:GOCE. My original offer stands; I could also be that person, if you like. The more the merrier, as they say; I suggest that you use all the resources you have at your disposal: someone from GOCE, mineself, and you. ;) Christine (talk) 06:49, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- You can tell im new to the whole process. I'd be happy for you to copyedit the article. D4nnyw14 (talk) 11:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. We're all new once. One of the reasons I'm still here is that I was mentored by other more experienced editors, so I believe it's important to pass it forward. I'll get to Darren's article later today. How do I spend my vacations? Editing Wikipedia! ;) I see you've already started, so if you don't mind, I come behind ya. Christine (talk) 14:17, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

- Right, got you this for Darren - Brockway, Sally (7 - 20 January 2012). "Darren's bib day BIG mistake!". Soaplife (267). IPC Media: 37.
- Inside Soap: Darren's planning a surprise Valentine's Day wedding for Nancy. What kind of bash is it going to be?
- Emma Smithwick: "We're talking about Darren, so it's never going to be as smooth as if somebody else was organising it! It's been a long time coming for these two, because they've been engaged for quite a while. There are going to be a few obstacles in the way, some self-imposed and some from external forces. But things will happen in true Darren style, let's put it that way!"

Congratz dude - on your first GA! :)Rain the 1 23:59, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, you still haven't replied to the pm about the email! D4nnyw14 (talk) 00:02, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
I'll send you my suggestion in a bit. Talking of images, would you mind if I shuffled some of them around on Darren's article? There are quite a few at and I think they could be placed so they don't mess with the headings.Rain the 1 00:07, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, i really don't mind where the images go so if you think they'd be better else where then please move them :) D4nnyw14 (talk) 00:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
- Can I remove the image of Jimmy McKenna - I think there are too many images - with that gone I could move a quote box and flow three of them down one side equally.Rain the 1 00:35, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

What do you think about that? Please tell me if you are unhappy with it.Rain the 1 00:55, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's much better. All the images flow better now especially the one of Dawson which doesn't go into the sl's now. Thanks for that :) D4nnyw14 (talk) 10:46, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Can you read pdf files on your computer and have you got 40 mb free? It's Inbtweeners related though.Rain the 1 15:42, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

- Right - Please slap me - I've placed an image on the wrong page and when I put it on the correct page I accidently put it in the wrong field twice. I've left a reply for another editor - but said the opposite of what I meant. To top it off I've asked you if you want something for the Inbetweeners - when it is not for that.... So would you like something for MisFits!!! LOLRain the 1 16:29, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yes that would be great! Do you happen to have a screenshot of Lewis Richardson, i can't find one anywhere online? D4nnyw14 (talk) 16:30, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

- Thanks for the magazine, yes it does, did you have to buy the mag or did someone send it to you? Skins series 5 was such a let down, i'll give 6 a chance though. Misfits series 3 is the best of the lot, Robert Sheehan left after series 2 but it gives other characters a chance to actually get some screen time. It will eventually get added to the articles but my to do list keeps expanding :P D4nnyw14 (talk) 16:50, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

- They didn't use Pandora enough and they almost forgot about her in 4. Naomi was badly acted, Freddie was so bland... I did like Cook and Katie though. There does seem to be a theme too - Chris->Freddie->?? I don't think I could wsork on their articlesw though, a right mess there.Rain the 1 17:17, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- Freddie was awful, his death was strange and maybe a bit harsh. I liked Naomi. Pandora was one of the better characters, don't understand why she suddenly decided to sleep with Cook though. I really hated JJ and Thomas. JJ was a bit like Jal, both boring and with very little character. Maybe we should bring it up, noticed the other day as few of the shameless characters now have articles but with one or two sources only and with no one working on them.

Off-topic stuff
[edit]Hi D4nnyw, I wanted to respond to something you said on the Darren Osborne talk page, and thought I should bring it here because that section has gotten way too long and I'm about to go off topic, anyway. You said, when I bragged about my 900+ edits of The Wiggles, that you hoped that it wouldn't take as many edits to get Darren to FA. It probably won't! See, The Wiggles has been a FA since 2008, and I've been watching it since. Being a kid-topic, it gets vandalized a lot. And it was my very first FAC, so I was still learning about how to edit and about the FAC process. 4 noms! But it was totally worth it; I'm very proud of the article and it was very fun working on it.
I'm happy to hear that you're planning to get Darren to FA, and that you've taken it to peer review. I've always thought that more soap-related articles would do much to combat the systematic bias issue here. Let me know when you submit it to FAC, and I can assist. (I can't review, but I can help you with the reviewers' suggestions.) Until then, keep up the good work! Christine (talk) 20:05, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- I understand the vandalism, so many soap articles are vandalised too! It's so tedious. I'm going to try, i'll see what the peer reviewer says first, i wanted a peer review so i could see other editors view on the storyline section too, still haven't decided what to do with it. Thanks, i'll make sure to tell you when its nommed :). D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:14, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi!
[edit]Hi, can you have a look at this please, and see what you think? Its a bit of a change from the current revision, so dont want to submitt it, untill get backing from other editors. Who else, shoudl i send this too? Frickative? ...? Thanks, :) MayhemMario 17:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- It looks great, i would ask Frickative before making the changes, the only other active Holby wikiproject member who says they are interested in Casualty (and are active) is User:Skarloey who you could ask. I don't think the changes are that major though, only change i don't like is getting rid of the actor images. D4nnyw14 (talk) 18:02, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Really? Personally, I deteste the images, Most of them are such bad quality, but I will re-add them if you want... :) MayhemMario 18:08, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I liked them but i'm not going to fuss if you decide to keep them out. Ask frickative first, they might have a different opinion on the images and list. D4nnyw14 (talk) 18:14, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'll add them in soon, btw, the past section on that page, is it just there because not all characters are listed on the past characters page?! I feel that, that section and the past lsit are too similar, so i want to try and find someway of merging the two, any ideas, or do you agree/disagree??? MayhemMario 18:22, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Also, sorry to bug you, but was Madiha Durrani more known as that or 'Mads'? MayhemMario 18:29, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- What do you mean? Like add all the names of the past cast to the past characters list? Maybe the list of characters should be moved to list of casualty cast members? Definitely Mads for common name. D4nnyw14 (talk) 19:52, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I think renaming the character list as a cast member list is an excellent suggestion! It would definitely solve the problem of delineating List of Casualty characters from Characters of Casualty. Mario, I like what's in your sandbox - is it just the table width that's changed? Also, I know WP:HOLBY has always been as struggling as an ED resus patient, but perhaps that would be a good location to discuss big changes like breaking up the past list into years, especially as the changes may well alter the Holby City articles as well. Frickative 20:00, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, just the table width, aswell as me creating lods of redirects!!! SO let me get this straight:

- Characters of Casualty -> List of present Casualty characters? or Years.
- List of past Casualty characters -> No change.
- List of Casualty cast members (merged) with List of Casualty characters, the bottom part, and
- List of Causualty characters jus becomes like an Casulty version of the EastEnders version??
-- Would we fill up the years list? MayhemMario 20:13, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Maybe we should discuss changes on WP:HOLBY, i'm not sure character lists by years would work, maybe 1986-1990, 199-1995 etc. would be better, we could open a discussion on the Project page if you want? D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:14, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Talking about years maybe:
- 1986-1990
- 1990-1995
- 1995-2000
- 2000-2005
- 2006
- 2007
- 2008
- 2009
- 2010
- 2011
- 2012
- Changing the pattern at the end, due to more sources becomign avaliable!? MayhemMario 20:17, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Got an edit conflict but didn't see your reply Mario. I definitely agree with the Lisr of present Casualty characters. RE filling up the list, my earlier suggestion of 5 year periods might work. D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:18, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- And another conflict! Maybe but casualty only has a few new characters a year, maybe 7-8 at the most so i still think 5 years is best. D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:19, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with five year increments. I'd rather see List of Casualty characters just flat out moved to List of Casualty cast members (obviously with the actors switched to column one), rather than creating an EastEnders-esque replacement, because I think it's fairly redundant to have the same content in different formats. Plus, having a list just for "present" characters is inherently recentist. Frickative 20:27, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- So if everyone is agreed then the list can be moved to list of cast members? D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:41, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I do feel with the lack of missing charcaters it is hard to judge, still a bit confused.. So, the List of Casualty characters is being merged with List of Casualty cast members? If so, I disagree with this. If the List of past Casualty characters and Characters of Casualty are being split into seperate years, it means the info (now at the bottom of List of Casualty characters) will be a duplicate, in some way or another, as all the info (in time) will be in the years list. We could move the bottom half of the List of Casualty cast members to the empty List of past Casualty characters, which will have List of Casualty cast members merged into it. MayhemMario 20:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't realise List of Casualty cast members already existed. It's hard to tell because of the way it's laid out, but I have a feeling it's padded out with a lot of guest stars. I'm a bit confused about what you mean re: duplication, Mario - I thought this way would eliminate the duplication problem, could you try and explain again? :) Frickative 20:54, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I was also unaware of the cast members list. Could you explain the duplication, what would be duplicated? Your comment was a bit hard to follow. D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:57, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

- Yes, I myself had a hard time reading what I said! So:
- When (if) the characters are split into yearly lists: It means Characters of Casualty to be deleted right?
- All the info (gradually) will be added to these lsits about the seperate characters, meaning the table at the bottom of List of Casualty characters (Former) is no longer needed, as it expalins what is in the article? Right?
- The list at the bottom of List of Casualty characters (Former) would be moved to List of past Casualty characters, as like List of past EastEnders characters.
- Delete List of Casualty cast members, it will be a copy, as I hope we will add the notable guest stars in time to the yearly lists.
- Keep the top part of List of Casualty characters, to become a [List of EastEnders characters]].
So Overall: Delete-
Create-
- Yearly lists
Move-
- Bottom part of List of Casualty characters, to the empty page of List of past Casualty characters. (i.e. like List of past EastEnders characters)
Keep-
- Top half of List of Casualty characters, (i.e.List of EastEnders characters)
- Better?! MayhemMario 21:18, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yes i understand what you mean now. I think that would be the general gist, not sure whether a past c c list is necessary or if it could redirect to the past members section of the list, same with present cast redirect to top section, unless you felt it was important. D4nnyw14 (talk) 21:24, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, much better, I see what you mean now - I just disagree, I'm afraid! I think having both yearly (or five-yearly) lists and lists of present and past characters is the wrong approach, because it's the same content just in different formats. And even setting that aside, yes Casualty has been on-air for over 25 years, but as can be seen from the current List of Casualty characters, it's not so long it would need splitting into separate past/present articles, which in and of itself is problematic because it puts a lot of focus on "now", when Wikipedia should give even coverage to the entire history of a series. I think my ideal arrangement would be to have:
- List of Casualty cast members transformed, so it's essentially the current List of Casualty characters, but obviously ordered by actors not characters.
- List of Casualty characters (1986-1990) (or alternatively, Characters of Casualty (1986-1990) - same alternative for all the below)
- List of Casualty characters (1991-1995)
- List of Casualty characters (1996-2000)
- List of Casualty characters (2001-2005)
- List of Casualty characters (2006-2010)
- List of Casualty characters (2010-2012) (can be amended for new years up to 2014).
- Of course, we can take a closer look at exactly how many characters that would put in each list, and re-assess if 5 years doesn't feel like the best fit. I also don't think I'd be too keen on seeing one-off guest stars added, given that there'd be around 150+ in each article! Frickative 21:32, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Although I dont particually like the 'past' characters part, youve explained it the best way, and it sounds great, so I agree! Just to make sure, can you list the articles which have to be deleted, moved, transformed, renamed, ect... MayhemMario 21:36, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I would love guest characters to appear!! But, there would be loads!!!! Um.... like you, was it you or D4nnyw14, said, only a minor amount of main characters are introduced per year, so we could introduce a others table! So, my sandbox, is it needed or not? I personally in my sandbox dont like how it shows the first appearance and job, before youve even clicked on the article, aswell as the layout of the table, and how you can change the cells with them arrow thingys...

- On top of this, the main list would have both present first (with cast changes), then former main, former recurring, former guest stars? MayhemMario 21:40, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Oh dear, I can't have explained it very well, because what I'm trying to get at is that I don't think there's a need for both a main list and yearly lists. That's why I like the idea of having a master cast list, rather than character list, because otherwise you just have different pages doing the exact same thing but in different ways. What don't you like about the current table being sortable? It's a requirement for Featured Lists. Oh and I realised I got the 150 figure wrong, that was a modest estimate for one year, so five would be nearer the 750 mark! Frickative 22:17, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with Frickative, we don't need lists for both main and yearly. The past/present lists would be either deleted or would redirect to the cast lists. D4nnyw14 (talk) 22:28, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- So do should I still carry on with my sandbox article?! So, whats the agreement, a master cast list, which included every character from Casualty in 25 years??!? or lists? MayhemMario 19:39, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, i think the sandbox version is going to be the master cast list for all cast members. D4nnyw14 (talk) 19:54, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- So at first, the master cast list will have 'present character' the their articles below, then 'former characters' and their artiles below. I just think that its going to be too much info on one page, either that, or will could jsut try to create good, well referenced articles for as many characters as possible, so their isnt too much on one article. MayhemMario 20:06, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, the mast cast list will just list the cast. The cast list will link to the characters of casualty which will be in lists of 5 years. D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:08, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

- Haha, i thought you didn't understand but it has become really confusing. Not sure how much time i will have to work on the lists at the moment. D4nnyw14 (talk) 20:13, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hey guys, sorry, I was going to post here earlier but then forgot after the "blackout"! I like the ideas going round with the rationalisation of the articles. My two pence worth - I'd like to see the master list article stay, but, as I believe has been mentioned, the character names linking to character profiles elsewhere (grouped by year of introduction, if I've understood correctly?). I like the idea of the tables remaining sortable - it's rather useful for quickly browsing through. Not particularly a fan of the images along the side, but that's perhaps just personal preference. Also, would like to keep the table column widths as they are now - think it looks a bit untidy if entries are spread over several lines, except obviously things like Andrew Bower or Tally Harper, who both had a change of actor.

(←) Very good point about line breaks, I do prefer a streamlined look too... I've just been through the existing character list, and, assuming the dates are right (which might not be 100% the case), creating five-yearly lists would put the following number of characters in each article:
- 1986-1990: 34
- 1991-1995: 30
- 1996-2000: 29
- 2001-2005: 35
- 2006-2010: 38
- 2011-present: 8
So a fairly even split, but a bit of a tough call as to how reasonable the length might be. As a very rough guide, List of EastEnders characters (2008) runs 36 characters long and stands at 164kb, well past the point WP:SIZE suggests should be divided. I'm not sure how much that would decrease if the "Others" list of every background character who so much as sneezed was removed though... That aside, before any major work takes place, it would probably be a good idea to discuss the infoboxes further, because I'm not a big fan of cramming them full of customised parameters to ape the soap opera template. Frickative 01:20, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- That seems like a lot, maybe 2 year lists or something. Does anyone have any alternative suggestions? D4nnyw14 (talk) 16:33, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- In case it inspires anyone, I just remembered that I asked a similar question wrt splitting Characters of Holby City over at MOS:TV last May. There are some other suggestions there, eg in-universe splits (though I don't think I'd really been keen on a doctors/nurses/auxiliary staff approach), splitting alphabetically, a separate list for recurring characters etc. I'm starting to think the best approach might be to focus on building the content first, then sort out splitting once there are decent sections for at least the majority of main characters. If we just go from having one 98% plot-based article (List of past Casualty characters) to 6/12/18/24 of them, we've not really achieved much. Frickative 16:49, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- I agree, there will probably be some that should be split into their own articles like Charlie, Tess, Josh. I don't like the idea of in-universe split or alphabetical either. D4nnyw14 (talk) 17:15, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Mercy
[edit]I think this stand out as having the potential to be cut down is the recent sections.
Mercedes attends an awards evening with Riley, where he becomes intoxicated. He accepts an award and attempts to get Mercedes onto the podium. Riley pulls Mercedes up onto the podium, making her lose her balance and fall to the ground. Myra then declares that Mercedes is having a miscarriage. Mercedes is taken to hospital, where she is told that she is in fact twelve weeks pregnant. She explains to Myra that she is unsure of the child's paternity.
I'd change it to
When Mercedes takes a fall in public; Myra claims that Mercedes is having a miscarriage. In hospital Mercedes is told that she is in fact twelve weeks pregnant. This leaves Mercedes unsure of the child's paternity.
You could shorten this:
Mercedes returns to live with the McQueens. When Riley refuses to see Bobby, Mercedes agrees to do a paternity test. When the test arrives it is revealed that Riley is Bobby's father.
to
Riley refuses to see Bobby until they take a paternity test. The results confirm that Riley is Bobby's biological father.
The order of events is wrong in this too: "Mercedes becomes a cleaner in a hospital along with Lynsey. She meets Doctor Browning (Joe Thompson) who she has sex with. Doctor Browning assumes Mercedes is a prostitute and pays her the following morning."
Mercedes was offered the job by Lynsey on her way home from a night with Doctor Browning, he had already paid her. She then took the job. He gave her more for a dress that following morning when Mercedes first discovers he works at the hospital. etcRain the 1 23:58, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

There are sources out there for him i just haven't got round to it yet, magazine scans would be helpful though (i still have to add the ones for Lewis :P). I know i've already asked but is there anything in Mercy's sls that stick out? I want to sort it out before i sort everything else out but still seems to big, tbf she has been one of the biggest characters for the past six years. D4nnyw14 (talk) 22:06, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, I just had the scanner on and thought I'd check. I had two things for Doug aswell and one for Mercy too. I'll have another look at the sls in a second.Rain the 1 22:43, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Who would you say Graham and Jen are in tonights E4 Hollyoaks? I'm not sure if Jen appeared, but I saw Graham listed in the credits.

If you do not feel you can paraphrase it into the section - I'd go with the cquote and remove this from the beggining "I’m sure most Hollyoaks fans agree that Chester would be a much duller place without the McQueen family. [...] I’d like to focus on one member in particular, Mercedes." - that will cut it down a bit and the the already byline already explains that the peice is about Mercedes.
I do have some questions myself actually - I was thinking of splitting George from the list - look at George's sandsbox - but I wasn't sure if he is notable enough? Also, there is some potential considering it looks like theyre going to get them into human trafficing or something just as serious. Do we wait or proceed?? Then there is Graham, who was in tonights E4 for sure as Deena's accomplice. Did you see him in the previous episode? I'm so confused.Rain the 1 20:27, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, i'll attempt to cut it down more or cquote it. Im 99% certain Graham didn't appear until E4.
As for George the article is really good, i think you should split him, he's going to grow fast with the human trafficking or whatever Deena is doing. BTW, your talk page looks much better. Abit off topic but did you watch Skins yesterday?
- I need to confuse you more please. I've wondered why Radio Times had listed the Squatter who kicked George out as "Squatter/Thug" - Well tonight he was credited as Thug instead of Squatter played by the same person. So I thought he attacked Phoebe. BUT people on DS are saying the guy who attacked Phoebe is the same guy as the person at the end. That would make sense to explain who Graham was in the first episode - but then it wouldn't make sense for the next episode. Can you take a look to see if the squatter is the thuig that attacked Phoebe? I want the 2012 list to be accurate. lol
- I did not realise my talk page was bad lol and I did watch skins last night.Rain the 1 20:51, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Erm a little bit confusing :S i think you mean is Graham also the thug who attacked Phoebe? If that is what you mean then according to DS yes he is.

Well you could put it there for now.. We cannot really predict because Mercedes said that she had firgured out a way to earn money when she quit the cleaning job. Not sure what that meant and a spoiler for Feb 13 2012 reads "Lynsey, concerned for Mercedes, turns detective to track her down and is horrified to discover who she has gone to meet." ---Rain the 1 16:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Peer review limits changed
[edit]This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.
While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.
If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:01, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
