Sid Vere

Hey! What is your opinion on Sid Vere having an article, eg, do you think he would meet NFICTION? I'm considering forming an article for him in my Sandbox? – DarkGlow (talk) 18:44, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'd say that should there be enough sources out there (interviews, development etc.), the potential for an article should be there. Give it a go and see how far you get with! Soaper1234 - talk 19:02, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Update: I made the article at Sid Vere. Here's an invite to yourself and @JuneGloom07: to make any changes you see fit! – DarkGlow (talk) 22:39, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

I'll keep an eye out for sources as I search for other things. I'm very tempted to create a couple of episode articles, but a lack of critical reception is stopping me so far. I'm making some progress on the character list though. - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:21, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

@Soaper1234 and JuneGloom07: The only Doctors tasks left on my list are cleaning up the standalone character articles and creating an article for Ruhma Carter – so we're getting there! – DarkGlow (talk) 09:05, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

I just noticed the Sid Vere article. I see you have placed a construction tag so I am sure you will keep expanding it. A great idea is to work on the article in your sandbox until it is complete and you have exhausted all the sources.Rain the 1 08:28, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

@Raintheone: Soaper1234 placed the construction tag, and I did work on the page in my sandbox. I wasn't able to find a huge amount of sources on Sid's development so I did what I could to help it pass as a stub – feel free to add to it – DarkGlow (talk) 09:22, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

@DarkGlow: I added the construction tag as I believed it was in the process of expansion, but it can be removed if not. Soaper1234 - talk 13:22, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Hey, I was just category surfing and I noticed your fourth sandbox in a bunch of categories – just a head up that you may want to remove/hide them. Thought I'd leave a message rather than remove them myself, as I'd feel cheeky! – DarkGlow (talk)

Thank you for letting me know! Soaper1234 - talk 19:40, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Just wondering about this edit, does that mean we'll be renaming every "Others" section on every character article of every soap? – DarkGlow (talk) 20:47, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

@DarkGlow: Some are already named that way, and I believe it makes more sense than the "Others" heading. I just changed that one based on the fact I've been working on it. Soaper1234 - talk 20:55, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Unrelated to the above, but I put in a request for page protection on a large amount of EastEnders character lists, which were declined. This was my intention, as it made an admin take notice and block the Gavin Ellis obsessed IP user. Just thought I'd let you know! – DarkGlow (talk) 16:36, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Nice work, good decision. Soaper1234 - talk 16:42, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Guest stars

Unrelated to the above discussions, I wanted your thoughts on something. On the 2020 Doctors character article, what is your opinion on adding guest stars to the "Others" section? So far I've only added more notable guest stars that have a specific interaction with a regular character, but do you think it's worth adding every guest from every episode or not? Pinging @JuneGloom07: too! – DarkGlow (talk) 21:34, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

@DarkGlow: I've only just spotted this, but I think it could be worth including. I suppose it should be all or nothing. Soaper1234 - talk 22:29, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

The Voice UK Series 9

Can you please update episode 7? --Annamargarita0 (talk) 20:53, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

@Annamargarita0: Unfortunately, I'm yet to watch the episode, although until any content can be added, the episode has been hidden. Soaper1234 - talk 22:26, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Crossover title

Hey, hope you're well. I just wanted to get your opinion on something. I've been working on the Casualty/Holby City crossover article offline and was wondering if the title should be "CasualtyXHolby", which is what I've been using, or "Powerless", which is the Holby episode title? - JuneGloom07 Talk 20:31, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

@JuneGloom07: Hey, I'm good thank you, how are you? Great to hear you're working on that - it is a great opportunity! I'd say that because it spans over two different episodes on two different shows, you should use "CasualtyXHolby". Hope that helps! Soaper1234 - talk 20:52, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm doing well, thanks. Yep, I'll stick with "CasualtyXHolby" then. I had a brief moment of doubt and didn't want to upload the article only to move it soon after. Thank you! - JuneGloom07 Talk 22:05, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

@JuneGloom07: Glad to hear it. Exciting stuff - I can't wait to see it! Soaper1234 - talk 22:11, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Don't set your expectations too high! lol - JuneGloom07 Talk 23:36, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

@JuneGloom07: Great work on the crossover article! It looks great and there's lots of great stuff in there too! Soaper1234 - talk 11:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm going to get it copy edited I think, then maybe try for GA. - JuneGloom07 Talk 20:10, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

@JuneGloom07: A great idea - I think it is a real contender for GA! All the best with it. Soaper1234 - talk 11:29, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Good work

When I saw that Ben Sherwood was randomly in the Holby navbox I was like, what?! Legit thought it was going to be a merge job.. then I read it and just knew you had created it. Good work and great job at finding all those sources!Rain the 1 22:29, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

@Raintheone: Haha! Thank you - that's very kind. I noticed some odd bits here and there and just pieced them together into an article! Surprised myself! Soaper1234 - talk 22:41, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

I keep meaning to start an article for Ange! I wonder who is most likely to have broad coverage out of Chloe, Xavier, Kian and Cameron though?Rain the 1 22:57, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

@Raintheone: Ange would be an excellent article - there's a lot out there for her. I don't think any of those four would be a struggle, but I think Cameron could be good. I've been working on an article for Evan for a while, which brought up some bits for Chloe too, so she is another good choice. Soaper1234 - talk 23:33, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I randomly started a draft for Cameron, even though gathering sources for his early storylines was a struggle. I don't mind if either of you take him on though. - JuneGloom07 Talk 00:34, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

You should totally do it then as the interest is already there.Rain the 1 12:21, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Definitely go for it! Soaper1234 - talk 15:36, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

When I was editing Essie's article I put the hostage section below relationships. I was confused when I started the Ben section and just presumed I did never moved it. Just noticed you moved it and I am not losing my mind. Anyway hope it looks okay - I just thought it flowed well because Sacha is always involved in her relationships.Rain the 1

@Raintheone: Yes, definitely! I only moved it as I wasn't sure whether it was an error - sorry for jumping the gun! The article is looking nice, glad it's being expanded. Good work with the Ange article too! While I've got you, I was wondering whether you could help me out with something? I'm trying to condense a plot I've written for the Man Down episode but I'm struggling with it. It's my first time writing a plot - not my forte! Would you be able to take a look over it for me and see if you could help at all? No worries if not though! Soaper1234 - talk 15:47, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Sure! You could miss some character movements out through out. With the last paragraph it could be something like:

"After being thanked by Connor's parents, Sacha says goodbye to his friends. Serena encourages Ric to apologise to Sacha after their confrontation. Sacha returns to the hospital roof and flashbacks of events from the past year depict Sacha's thoughts. Ric locates Sacha on the rooftop and talks him down from the edge. Sacha then confides in Ric about his mental health. As Sacha leaves the hospital, Tyler asks Sacha to become his consultant and operate on him. Tyler explains to a reluctant Sacha that Connor's life was bettered by him; he agrees to become Tyler's consultant after he has taken a short leave of absence."

I do not think it detracts from the reader's understanding.Rain the 1 16:18, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

@Raintheone: That is perfect! Thank you for that, I appreciate it. Soaper1234 - talk 16:21, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Marty Kirkby

Hey – just wanted to say, the Marty Kirkby article is great. I didn't expect there to be as much content on him as there is, but you always excel in that area! Love Marty, and love the article! – DarkGlow (talk) 10:12, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
