Former to past

Hello – I noticed that you've been changing soap character classifications from "former" to "past". I agree with the changes, since it complies with the infobox rules. However, I was just wondering how you're going about it – are you working in alphabetical order? – DarkGlow (✉) 22:02, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Hey! Thank you so much for the message :) Today I was just going through random articles, but this was my planned order: 1.) Go through all the EastEnders articles by years (so go through the 1985 characters, then 1986,etc.) 2.) Hollyoaks characters by years 3.) Emmerdale Characters by years 4.) Coronation Street characters by years 5.) Home and Away characters by years 6.) Neighbours characters by years I will start now :) Do you think the priority order should be adjusted? DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 22:06, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Also! I forgot Doctors, Holby City and Casualty - I will do those too afterwards. Since I have finished university for this term, I will have more free time and hopefully finish by the end of this year :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 22:13, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Go with whatever order you want to choose! That order seems fine to me. I frequently edit soap lists, so I'll make sure to adjust "former" to "past" whenever I do. I'll take care of all of the Doctors articles since I want to do some more work on them, so don't worry about them. – DarkGlow (✉) 14:51, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Instead of doing it manually, it might be easier to use WP:AWB or get a bot to do it. Also, was there a discussion about such a mass change to hundreds of articles anywhere? Not a criticism, just curious. - JuneGloom07 Talk 18:02, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

@JuneGloom07: I assumed there had been a discussion prior to the changes being made, hence why I didn't question them – I'm guessing there was no discussion then? I do agree with the changes, but there certainly should have been a discussion. – DarkGlow (✉) 20:35, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Hey! First of all, thank you so much for your support and kindness - I really appreciate it 😊 I have gotten through lots of characters so far, which is good! As for the discussion, I apologise - I had noted that the MOS and USA soaps used "Past", and I started noticing that some UK soap characters had past, so I decided to change all the rest of the characters too, in order to avoid confusion (e.g. So a viewer wouldn't think that "past" and "former" are different things, such as past being for deceased characters). A short discussion was started but no one ever commented on it. I apologise for this - I am really sorry DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 05:40, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

When I start a discussion on changes, I usually ping editors that commonly work on that genre of article, just a tip for the future Also, all of the Doctors articles have been amended by myself! – DarkGlow (✉) 19:45, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Just to let you know ahead of time, Casualty and Holby City shouldn't need the change to be made as they are not a soap opera, and therefore use a different infobox template (and do not use classification in the infobox) - Soaper1234 - talk 11:39, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

I'll take care of the Neighbours articles as they're all on my watchlist. The reason I asked about a discussion is so that if the changes are questioned, I would have something to link back to. But I guess I can direct people to the Template documentation and MoS. I think another discussion about whether to include 'past' or 'former' at all will likely take place in the future, since "Classic" episodes are now being aired on TV and therefore those characters are technically 'present'. - JuneGloom07 Talk 20:04, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

There was a start to a discussion on Template talk:Infobox soap character; I have only just seen it as I was not watching the template until now. – DarkGlow (✉) 20:25, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

I have commented there as to why I disagree with the changes.Rain the 1 21:18, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Emmerdale task force

Hello – I notice that you are an active soap opera editor, and wanted to reach out to invite you to join the Emmerdale task force following its recent revival. There is a list of tasks that we're looking to achieve on the Emmerdale articles, you can find those on the linked page. If you want to join the community, just add your name to the list of active participants! Have a nice day – DarkGlow (contribs • talk) 16:38, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey! I was actually going to ask to be part of it! For me it would be mainly the storyline section – adding recent developments, changing from past to present tense, rewriting things etc. as well as the lead. I will put my name down later today:) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 17:08, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! I literally hate doing storyline sections, they're my least favourite thing about soap editing! – DarkGlow (contribs • talk) 17:36, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

No problem at all! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 00:55, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Updating and Adding B&B character photos.

I don't suppose if anyone can add photo's to Bold and The Beautiful characters that haven't been uploaded before such as Flo, Zende, Carter, James Warwick, Finn, Sasha, Shauna, Zoe and Paris?

I don't know how to do it well. JaydienMS (talk) 13:20, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey! Thank you for reaching out 😊 As much as I'd love to upload images for them, none of these characters have their own articles, and most don't even have their own section. If they have their own section, a photo of the actor can be used. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 19:05, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

If you want we could create a 2019 page for them ? DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 19:06, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi!

Hey, so we've seen each other around the community and we seem to agree with the same ideas! I'd just like to say thanks for the support with my suggestions! I've also been wanting to create a page for a certain Neighbours family and I was wondering if you would like to help me? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 01:57, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey!! I actually wanted to reach out to you but I was too shy... thank you for being so lovely! I would love to help you – the only problem is that I so not watch Neighbours but I am still happy to help 😊😊 DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:13, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Sounds good! I actually have a draft for the page already, is there a way to privately show you or??? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 03:39, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes! If you email me you can. If you are on desktop view, If you click on "email this user" ? DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:41, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Hmm, odd. I can't seem to see it. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 03:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

I tried to, but it says that you haven't specified a valid email address... DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:49, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

@Therealscorp1an: If you go here[[1]] and type in my username it should hopefully work :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:57, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Hey, I was just wondering: when you send an email to someone on wikipedia, is your email address visible to the receiver of said email? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 11:28, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Okay, so I'm having email issues (if you could still please answer my question above, that'd be great!). In the meantime, I've put the draft on my sandbox, so you can view it there! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 11:55, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

I think the email is visible, but don't worry, I don't do anything with it DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 15:14, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Alright. Well until I get the email sorted out, could you please check my sandbox, as I've put the draft there and we can talk about it on my sandbox talk page! (Thank you very much for the help btw!) - Therealscorp1an (talk) 21:28, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Welp, looks like it's not happening. You may want to delete this conversation. Thank you very much for all your help, though - Therealscorp1an (talk) 23:58, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Just a question

Hey. I have a quick question. If in a soap opera a character has a miscarriage, does the baby get added to the infobox? If you could when when you can, that'd be great! Thanks! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 00:03, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey! Usually, if the baby is named (e.g. Michelle Connor and Steve McDonald named the baby they miscarried, as did Ricky Butcher and Bianca Jackson, Nicole Walker, Daniel Jonas, Bernadette Taylor etc.) then they are added to the infobox. Hope this helps! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 00:39, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

What happens if a baby passes away before it is born? Does it still get added? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 01:27, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

The same thing. If the baby is named, then they are added DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 01:58, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Alright, thank you! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 10:57, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Hollyoaks

You re-added the Osbornes to Tom Cunningham's info box and stated they adopted him in 2013. Where did you get that information from?Rain the 1 08:13, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey! At the end of 2013 on screen Jack and Frankie told Tom that they would adopt him. This happened on the episode on 31 December 2013. I watched the episode online back in 2018, but it has since been removed. Although there was never actual confirmation of the adoption having taken place, Frankie and Jack acted as his legal guardians and Tom was and still is considered part of the Osbornes. So whilst on screen it was not often stated "Oh yay the adoption is finalised", it is assumed that it was. Regardless of whether Tom was completely adopted or not by them, he is their legal or at least foster child. It kind of is like the situation with Phil Mitchell adopting Dennis Jr... he stated that he wanted to adopt him, and he acted like his legal guardian, but it was never 100% confirmed that the adoption was fully finalised. However, Frankie and Jack definitely did tell Tom that they had agreed to adopt him. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:01, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

I cannot link the edit for some reason, but if you look at the edits that were made on 31 December 2013, it was stated in the storylines section that they had agreed to adopt him. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:06, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

I watched every episode from 2006 until 2016 without missing an episode. You said 2013. Tom's birthday occurs on the final day of the year and any adoption would not have been finalised until 2014. They never adopted him though. It caused an issue with Ruby and Cindy and was never mentioned again.Rain the 1 20:34, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Email

I got a notification saying that you sent me an email but for the life of me I have no idea how to read it. Can you tell me here what you wanted to say? I know it’s something about Eileen Davidson. Thanks! :) Partyclams (talk) 22:56, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

@Partyclams: Hey! I hope you are well! I was asking if Eileen Davidson appeared on the main show as well this week - I know that she appeared in Beyond Salem (Yay!) but I wasn't sure if she had appeared on the main show, as I live in the UK and thus cannot watch them properly :( (other than clips people post on instagram/twitter/youtube etc.) and I wanted to know if she had appeared on the main show as well as I love Eileen Davidson! I am asking because I saw you add "2021" to Eileen's duration on the Previous Days of Our Lives Cast Members list.

Also, thank you so so so so much for all your continuous contributions on Days Of Our Lives pages - you're a star! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 01:05, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Question

Hello. I just had a quick question. Let's say that, via information from DigitalSpy, we discovered that the father of a baby isn't actually the baby's father, but this information has not yet been aired on television. Do we update the characters' infoboxes yet or wait for it to air? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 03:30, 13 September 2021 (UTC). Apologies if that was confusing.

No worries, it is a valid question. I think we do update the information, because that is what has been done in the past :) I hope you're doing well! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:35, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your response! And yes, I am good. I hope you are too. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 04:03, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Small request

Hi, again. I've been writing a page for Neighbours character, Andrea Somers. I was hoping you could please proof read it to make sure I haven't made any mistakes? I really respect you as an editor and it would be great to have some help. Thanks. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 00:42, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey! I am really really sorry @Therealscorp1an: - I remember checking out the page, but I completely forgot to respond here! The page looks amazing, well done you! Thank you so much for creating it :) You're awesome! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 19:17, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

I just wanted to thank you for bringing up the fact that Eileen was technically playing Susan, playing Kristen. lol. Thank you for staying on top of all this! Partyclams (talk) 19:51, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

@Partyclams: No worries at all!! :) I am very happy to help :) Thank you for being so nice! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 19:19, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Merged years

I did start a discussion on the talk page and you didn't respond, so I felt free to just carry on editing the page as it was for several years (an unnecessary split and rename aside) until you suddenly took it upon yourself last year to strip it of content without discussion. If there was a discussion "years ago", then when was it, where is it and who took part? It seems at times as though a group of self-appointed watchdogs make up their own rules and expect other editors to abide by them. So I'm sorry, but I really don't see where your license is to misrepresent and inflate character's tenures by acting as though because they appeared in a couple of episodes per year that makes them a regular. Skteosk (talk) 23:37, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I hope you are doing well. The original discussion took place here several years ago and has been the standard practise since. If it was not the standard practise, I would not have changed it, but it is, so I was making it consistent with the articles, the other soap pages, the current soap pages etc. Again, had this not been discussed and agreed on years ago, I would not have changed it. I did not make up my own rules, I was following the standard practise. I understand that you want to show that there has been a break, but a duration is meant to show the years that a character has appeared on the show. Seeing long durations such as "2006–2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015" etc makes the list extremely long and hard to read and wikipedia is meant to be accessible for everyone. Additionally, this makes consistency for everything. For example, if a character appeared in December 2013 and then January 2014, one user could think that duration should be "2013, 2014" due to the one month break, whilst another would think it should be "2013–2014". And so it would be hard to discuss what counts as a separate year or not. 6 months? 3 months? 9 months? A year? It would create a lot of arguments and problems. Additionally, if a read wants to know more about when a character appeared, they can click on their page and see the casting (and for most H+A characters, the information is in the lead already).

Also, the reason I did not contribute to the discussion is because I did not see it until much later, and no one had spoken in weeks when I saw it, and I did not want to open up old wounds as I saw that people were getting very tense. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 00:04, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

I don't see why an extreme case would necessarily affect things. I mean, I do take the point than there can be some disagreement, but it's equally hard to understand if a character is listed as a permanent fixture on the show at a time when they weren't. I don't see why including a full list of tenures is "hard to read". I thank you for providing the discussion. Skteosk (talk) 09:13, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Oh my goodness, thank you! What a lovely surprise! This is the nicest thing I have ever received on Wikipedia. Thank you for being one of the loveliest and best fellow editors in Wikipedia - You are awesome! And apologies for seeing this so late, I must have missed it... DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 00:03, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

You’re welcome Blanchey (talk) 15:19, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello!

Hello, I hope you are well. 😊 I just wanted to say thank you for restoring the deleted content on Sam Mitchell. Since the user had removed content without explaining why, I left a polite generic note on their page explaining about explaining changes. There are also a couple things you may be interested in:

You may also find this useful. It’s a link to all the generic warnings you can leave on disruptive users’ talk pages. You don’t have to be an administrator to add them either. There are different levels as well. For example, the first message is like ‘Hello, I’m User…’ and the second is something like ‘Please refrain from making un-constructive edits’ and eventually ‘You may be blocked next time you disrupt’. There are many messages for many different issues. For example, vandalism, adding unsourced material, removing content without explanation and many more! What I do, is I go up in steps. I start with the polite one and eventually build up to the block warning. After 4 or 5 warnings you can file a report against them at WP:ANI or WP:AIV. Sometimes (depending on how severe the vandalism and if they have been warned in the past), I may go straight to level 2 warning.

Another thing you may like is Twinkle. Twinkle is a software which allows responsible users like yourself to revert (sometimes several) edits, warn disruptive users, report disruptive users who haven’t listened to the warnings, request page protection on articles which are persistently being disrupted and many more things. To enable it, go to preferences > gadgets and scroll down to ‘Twinkle’ and tick the box. Then save your changes, and when reading articles or looking at users talk pages, the initials ‘TW’ will appear on the options bar. It is not available on the mobile site although you can still access it on a mobile by switching to desktop version.

Let me know if you have any questions Blanchey (talk) 09:53, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

@Blanchey: Hey, I am really sorry for the lateness - I completely missed this on my talk page! Thank you for suggesting this :) I have known about warning editors but I really do not like doing this as I do not want to upset/annoy anyone. But I may start using it soon, especially as I have seen people add offensive stuff on pages and being so rude to other editors... Thank you for suggesting Twinkle! I will try to get it at some point.. but I am a bit careful about not using Wikipedia too much/getting too invested in it, as I tend to get too invested in things and that can be unhealthy. There have been times when I have gotten too invested in pages here and then other editors delete them etc... so I try to not do too much these days. And some editors can be really rude sometimes too :( DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 06:34, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey, don’t worry about it! Thanks for letting me know how you feel about it, and you’re right. Sometimes doing this can be quite investing and I will admit that I have been using Wikipedia a lot recently and it can get quite overwhelming lol! I hope you are well though!

Ratings and article archives

Hello! I am currently in the middle of writing a certain Neighbours storyline and I was wondering if you knew a few things. I am having issues trying to find television ratings for the two episodes this storyline aired on (in terms of Australian and British ratings). For Australian ratings (which I know you may not be too familiar with), I have attempted to use TV Tonight/David Knox's report, but I only have access up until the ratings from November 2019, when I am looking for October 2015 ratings. Do you know a way to find these ratings? I also cannot access old Digital Spy Neighbours articles in any archives. Would you be aware of where to find/access these? I have also asked another editor for this information, I was just curious to see if you knew either. Thank you! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 05:03, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey! I am really sorry but I am not too sure... I will look into and see if I can help. I will message you here or on your talk page and let you know if I find out anything :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 08:11, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for raising a discussion about this. I am in receipt of your private message. Apologies if you took issue with my concerns surrounding the disruptive nature of the reverts of this particular piece of prose. I have expressed my view on the talk page and rationale for why I consider this particular piece of text to be without value.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from C. J. Garrison into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:30, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey, I did not copy anything and claim it as my own – the page was deleted and I merged it onto another page, as it should have been merged rather than lost. In my edit summary I put "redirected from a deleted page" to show that it wasn't my own work. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 19:39, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey. The terms of the WP:CC BY-SA license require that to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI be included in attribution summaries, which is why it is important to include a link in the edit summary. Wikipedians agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license whenever we submit content, and links are reasonably practical to include on Wikipedia, which is why it is important to both disclose the copying and link to the copied page.

Soap character family categories

Hi, I believe that fictional family categories for soaps are largely unnecessary and in-universe, and I ask that you start a discussion about it at WP:SOAPS and/or series articles before you create any more and add them to character articles. As far as the work you've already done, my biggest concern at the moment is that you really should be disambiguating these fictional topic categories from potential real-world topic categories. For example, it should probably be Category:Buchanan family characters (One Life to Live) instead of Category:Buchanan family.— TAnthony^Talk 17:09, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey – I hope you are well! I have disambiguated the articles which already have a real life categories (e.g. the Brady family), but I will disambiguate them from now on and ask my Page Mover friend Meena to move the others. I don't think that this is an in-universe issue as it shows how the characters are linked and how families are a big part of soap operas, said by soap opera producers/actors/writers themselves, and thus helps readers by helping them make the link. Many editors have cut down the "relatives" parameters to include only interacting relatives (which I strongly disagree with as most readers do not know this and thus they will think that 2 characters are not related when they in fact are) and thus this helps readers by making it clearly rather than having to say it in the article (which I think is much more in universe). There have already been family categories before I started making more DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 17:21, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I say in-universe because we already have articles like Buchanan family that do the same thing as a category and much more, and we should avoid categorizing articles by plot-related characteristics that don't have a broader scope across other media, like Category:Fictional surgeons.— TAnthony^Talk 19:06, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red

Hi there, DaniloDaysOfOurLives, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to hear you intend to work on soap opera actresses. As you have not yet created any biographies, you should find it useful to look at some of our essays, perhaps starting with our Ten Simple Rules. Perhaps you already have some names in mind; if not you can no doubt find some deserving subjects by browsing through our Redlist index and searching for actresses or fictional women. Please let me know if you run into difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:38, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

@Ipigott: I am so sorry for the lateness. I kept meaning to reply but kept putting it off! Thank you so much for the lovely kind message and for being so lovely. It means so much! I am currently writing 3 Women in Red related articles (for actresses Katelyn MacMullen, Kelsey Wang and Garcia Brown - I am happy to direct you to the sandboxes if you would like?). I also meant to ask, do fictional women count? If so I have already published an article for one (Zoe Anderson). DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 10:15, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm glad to see you have begun to create various biographies. I'll look at them later. We welcome articles about fictional characters at Women in Red but only the biographies of real people are taken into account in the official statistics of biographies of women as a proportion of the total. Happy editing.--Ipigott (talk) 10:25, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Lola returning

Thank you for putting lola back as I have put her back now about 5 times and it keeps getting removed for some reason Adavid299 (talk) 20:13, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

No problem! 😊 I think it's because usually if a character appears in archive footage it is not counted as a return, but in this case it is (I think) newly created scenes and hence she is returning – plus, there is a source saying she is returniny DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:48, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi I was just wondering do we change lolas classification to present recurring as we did with Lucy back in 2020. Can we not change it now? Adavid299 (talk) 20:16, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey! Since Lola was a regular it should stay "Present; regular". If she has returned now (I haven't watched the new episodes yet) feel free to add her! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:47, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Neighbours 2023

Hey, there. I am assuming you've heard about the news regarding the new Neighbours characters and recasting? It is on all the Neighbours social media, if you haven't seen it. So it seems that Nell, Hugo and Leo's daughter have all been recast and there will be a time jump. Have you found any sources online for this? I've been looking around but they seem pretty scarce. Thanks! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 11:48, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey! My hugest apologies, I think I missed this. I'm so sorry! I have heard the news about the characters being recast but I only heard rumours about the time jump. It seems that the recastings have already been added to the tables etc but just in case, if there are reliable sources talking about the recasts/time jump they can be added. I hope that helps! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 21:52, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Your revert to my edit on Sinead O'Connor (Hollyoaks)

Hi DaniloDaysOfOurLives,

I'm genuinely pleased to make your acquaintance. Thanks for your very civil edit summary on reverting me, and absolutely no offence taken, but I must admit I don't understand what you mean by "makes the source page more complicated" – by definition, wiki content generally relies on complex markup/metadata, and the effect of my tiny tweaks will have been negligible.

I can see from your user page that you are a soap opera fan, and I imagine you keep a watchful eye over many related wiki pages, particularly Hollyoaks, but your revert of my edit appears to imply an element of 'ownership'. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Ownership of content. I believe my edits were useful and constructive so I was surprised (but not offended) by your revert. I see you came to wiki-editing about 6 months after me, and you've made about 14,000 mainspace edits, so you have lots of experience. Here's just a bit of explanation for my tweaks.

• The infobox contains a number of incomplete line-break tags which, although acceptable (H:BR), have the consequence of botching the markup text below (have you noticed that all the body hypertext appears pink-highlighted when it should be non-highlighted?) – this might depend on the display mode you are using in the edit area but it shows up a treat in colour display mode! Best to clear it out by simply adding the / to the br tags. It's sometimes easier (and tidier) to use list markup in infoboxes.

• The non-breaking space (nbsp) is very useful in dates as it prevents the numeral and the month being separated at the end of the line. When I first viewed the page, the "1 September 2010" was displaying for me as "1" at the end of a line, followed by "September 2010" at the start of the line below, which looks 'off' and is best avoided. It's usually best to keep the two pieces of the date 'stuck together' for all display sizes, requiring the use of the non-breaking space – see MOS:NBSP.

• The apostrophe thing is just a style preference per wiki MOS (see MOS:'S) and there are several examples in Steve Davis's article. I've reinstated that change.

At the end of the day, I'm pretty neutral on all this really, but I do love the English language and enjoy discussing it with others, so thank you for giving me this opportunity. Funnily enough, the only reason I visited the page is because I've recently been working on Sinéad O'Connor's article, following her death, but I'm mainly interested in source reviews. Have a great day! Rodney Baggins (talk) 11:30, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey! I am so sorry for my lateness - I have been feeling really unwell recently and have been not doing well and thus I missed this. I am so so terribly sorry!

First of all I completely know what ownership is as I have struggled with the same thing on Wikipedia as some editors refuse to allow good changes due to not wanting "their" articles changed (I put theirs in " as often they have not even made it!), but in this case this was not a case of ownership (I have not even edited that particular article that much).

Thank you so much for explaining your edits.

My explanation goes:

1.) I thought that just listening without the "/" was acceptable per the MOS page that you supplied (they used to advise against it but the guidance changed in the past year or so) and I removed it as I thought it was unnecessary and I was told by a more experienced editor once that adding additional characters makes the page take longer to load for those with slow internet and thus I was trying to avoid it by just using "< b r >" (I am spacing it out so it wont make a break). I also thought that using less bytes also makes the page look cleaner and easier to edit.

2.) The same thing - I thought it was just adding extra bytes.

3.) Thank you for explaining that to me!

Have a lovely week! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 08:25, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Invitation

Hello DaniloDaysOfOurLives, we need experienced volunteers.

• New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
• If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
• If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
• Cheers, and hope to see you around.

I thought I would try to reach out one last time. If you read the article on The Best Sleepover in the World in reader mode in your browser, paying only attention to the text, when you’re finished, pretend that the article was deleted and you have no backup copies. Now open a text file and try to rewrite it from scratch from your memory, not copying the words but the ideas and the concepts, using new words to write it. Let me know how it goes. It’s a helpful technique to force you to paraphrase. Viriditas (talk) 02:41, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Ryan Prescott Coronation Street Question

I had a small question about the List of Coronation Street Characters page. Ryan Prescott, who plays Ryan on CS left the programme in December and it's just been confirmed on Digital Spy and in a CS official Twitter video that he is returning shortly. A new user, Corriefan1245 has added Ryan in the returning characters section. My question is, since the character is returning 2 months after his departure, should he just be reintroduced in the Regular Characters section as his absence from CS is less than a year, just like maternity leaves and panto breaks. I thought that I had seen Meena or some other long term editor mentioning that. Can we move Ryan Prescott back into the regular cast section now before he actually returns. https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coronation-street/a46765115/coronation-street-ryan-prescott-ryan-connor-return/ Thanks, I was just curious. 135.0.252.54 (talk) 02:15, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I completely agree that he can be moved to the present "Regular characters" section, as his "departure" was never confirmed to be permanent and it was only 2 months, so I agree that he does not need to be in "Returning". Please let me know if you have anymore questions! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 18:55, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello DaniloDaysOfOurLives,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Tabyana Ali

In connection with your interest in promoting Tabyana Ali to GA status, I've been doing a bit of copy editing. I'm no expert on actresses or TV but it seems to me you should be looking for more critical assessment coverage, in other words how her performances have been appreciated by recognized critics in the press or related journals. One of the problems about going for GA now is that her career is obviously evolving quickly.--Ipigott (talk) 16:33, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your support! I am sorry for the lateness, I did not see this actually :( I did add some critical reception but I will add more. I will probably wait a few months before trying to nominate it though. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 19:06, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Confused

Confused as to why you reverted my edit and accused me of copying your draft, when you haven’t written anything. [2]

Claudette is a gay icon. She needs a page and a photo in her iconic red dress. 2A00:23EE:19F8:73C0:1844:4576:7B2E:A1D2 (talk) 16:14, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I never once accused you of taking my draft. I was saying that you took the content from List of EastEnders characters (2015)#Claudette Hubbard. I do agree that Claudette is an icon, but taking sourced content without attribution is against copyright laws and not fair to those who wrote the content in the first place. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 16:16, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Claudette Hubbard

Can I ask when will you be starting work on an article for the iconic Claudette Hubbard. EastEnders is the best soap after all 2A00:23EE:16B0:3B41:155B:804F:F98F:1EEE (talk) 13:35, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Creating Articles and Merged Years

Hello there, we spoke before about adding content, but only with sources. There are a few pages I would like to continue to edit regarding Emmerdale characters as not all the regular characters have sections. There are regular characters from 1992 or other integral characters that don't have an article and would like to merge them with the List of Emmerdale characters (1991) article. I would also like to do the same for List of Emmerdale Farm characters (1974) and merge with 1975. I would also like to create merged articles for the years 1980-1981, 1984-1985 and 1986-1987. I have some books on Emmerdale that I hope can help me with regards to sourced material. Furthermore, I would like to take my editing to the next level, as I've mentioned above, but would also like to write articles for characters, such as John Sugden, Dan Spencer, Amelia Spencer and Rishi Sharma at some point in the future, but I'm not sure how to do so. I do hope you can help me with anything I've mentioned. Thank you. EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 21:34, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

@EmmerdaleFan2001: Hey, sorry I did not see this for some reason. I agree with you about how I wish that all the characters had their own sections or pages. Raintheone (talk · contribs) and I had started a 1992 list off-wiki. Regarding the others, if you find sources for the characters that you want to do add and you do think there is enough for a full list, I can move the pages to expand it over two years (e.g. from 1980 to 1980–81). Is there anything that you would like help with specifically? DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 22:11, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. Basically, I have a few books on Emmerdale, such as 20 Years of Emmerdale, 25 years of Emmerdale and 30 years of Emmerdale, so I just go to the Index and find specific characters and write about what the books say and reference them. I just don't have a clue on how create an article. Plus I would like to change two existing articles to merged years. Those being List of Emmerdale Farm characters (1974) and List of Emmerdale characters (1991). I do also think the 1972 and 1973 pages can be split into two separate pages. EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 22:39, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Also, with regards to writing articles, there were articles for Leonard Kempinski and Nick Bates, but they've been deleted for a while now. As I wanted to do a 1984-85 characters page, I could have merged that article with it, if there was any way of retrieving deleted articles. Same with Leonard Kempinski for the proposed 1991-1992 page. EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 22:45, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the repeated messages, if you're already writing a 1992 article, that's fair enough, but the reason I wanted to merge it with 1991 is because apart from Carol Nelson and Alice Bates, I intend to move all the other sections to Other Characters on the 1991 article as they aren't developed.

SPI reports

Hi, if you could make sure to add all the sections needed for an SPI report when you file them. The tools that patrolling administrators, clerks and CUs use need these sections to work. The sections I'm talking about are the ones I added in 1240484490 for your previous report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Cebr1979. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 14:15, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

@Dreamy Jazz: Hey, I am sorry about that. I could not find a template for the investigations so I have had to go back through the history and copy and paste it each time and then fill it out with the relevant details/examples. Thank you for dealing with that! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 22:37, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

No problem. If you want a template to use, you can go WP:SPI, open the How to open an investigation banner, and then enter the username of the sock master in the box that appears there. It then opens an edit window where you can enter your report.

Alternatively, you can use WP:TWINKLE to file the reports. To do that, go to the user page of the sock master, open the twinkle menu and click "ARV". There should be an option in that for SPI. The twinkle interface is a bit easier to use than the above, but has less features. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 23:08, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Apologies.

I have put the years back, as they are your creations and I would not like my creations to be interfered with. I did not mean to offend you in any way and I am sorry if I did. 2A00:23EE:1600:1801:2CC4:3080:308E:BFD2 (talk) 02:42, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much, that really means a lot! It was rather more that I was confused as to why it was only creations being changed, but now I understand better. Thank you for being understanding, that really means a lot! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:35, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Page move redirects

Hello, DaniloDaysOfOurLives,

If you leave a redirect after an article page move, please leave one for the talk page as well. I'm coming across some broken redirects for article talk pages that have resulted from page moves and there is really no great reason not to leave a redirect for the talk page as well, even if you are correcting for a bad page move. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:48, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

@Liz: Thank you for letting me know - I did not realise, I thought it was done automatically! I am sorry. I have begun fixing that issue. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 18:54, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Adding Sections to Articles

Hello again, after you mentioned about adding sourced content, I have found certain characters in the indexes of books that I have about Coronation Street and Emmerdale, so I shall be editing a considerable number of articles so I can include these regular characters. I am also going to create Other Characters sections for the 2000 and 2009 character pages for Coronation Street all in good time. However, on these lines, I would like to create articles for Emmerdale characters 1975, 1980, 1981, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1992, some of which I would like to do over two years, eg. 1974-1975, 1980-1981, 1984-1985, 1986-1987, 1991-1992, I'm not sure how to make those changes to existing articles and I also don't know how to create articles or reference books. Please could you give me any guidance? Thank you. EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 16:40, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Hey @EmmerdaleFan2001:, I am so sorry, I have been SOOOOOOO busy with university and hosting events and so I did not see this. Have you been working with these in your sandbox? If so, I can give you guidance. Additionally, if you need me to move anything just message me and I will move them if I think it is suitable. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 13:53, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

I honestly don't know how to do sandbox or anything. Need to take some time to do some reading about these things. How is that list of 1992 characters coming along? EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 15:06, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

my story

Hi, if you get a chance, could you look at what I wrote on my User Page and tell me if it makes sense, needs more explanation, or is just too corny and needs a serious rewrite? Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 01:46, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

I am so sorry for my lateness!! I did not see this as I was soooooo busy. I had a look at it and it looks very interesting and I do not think it needs a rewrite (also, it is your userpage, so you can include anything as long as it is not offensive/advertising/illegal etc)! You could maybe add an infobox or a "Pages I have made/worked on" section if you wanted to but that is optional of course. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 13:58, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I noticed in Kindness Project, they suggested adding "People I have thanked" and "People who thanked me", so if I do that, you'll be in there. Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 00:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Wha-POW!

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Just wanted you to ensure you're aware you've double-celebrated some people's first edit days, as seen here for example. Synorem (talk) 21:07, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Synorem: You do know that in the lead of the Birthday committee it says "More than one person from the committee may send messages to the same person and belated greetings are ok too"? DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 21:09, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm aware, I wasn't necessarily saying it wasn't permitted, again - "Just wanted to ensure you're aware". One of which even had their first edit day misplaced. Synorem (talk) 21:14, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I am aware and again I do not think there is anything bad with double wishing someone well wishes. I have been on user pages where 5 users have wished someone a happy birthday. I understand you meant well, but seeing on another userpage that you are going to "WP:SMACK" me for doing something that is actually encouraged and is intending to make people a happy - it does slightly annoy me, as it makes me seem stupid. Regarding Hog Farm's first edit day, it says on the page that it is today, so I followed it. It may different because of time zones etc. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 21:20, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I apologize if it comes across that way DaniloDaysOfOurLives. I use it with ' Don't take this too seriously' being the focal point. I'm sure you ought to agree Trouts are never used for serious criticism or concerns, this just served as a lighthearted reminder. I see now it has not been taken that way. Synorem (talk) 21:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry, I understand now. TBH I have only seen Trouts be used for edit warring and other things like that (I have never received one until now though). I like wishing people well wishes on their bdays/anniversary, even if others have wished them already, and hence would like to continue :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 21:39, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Of course, it's all good. In the future I ought to use a different form of lighthearted template for small notices like this, as the trout has gained a bit of a negative reputation, despite it being used for the exact opposite. Lessons to be learnt on all sides. Regardless, @EF5 seems to be happy either way - two or one notices Synorem (talk) 21:51, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

You betcha. I seriously thank both of y'all for brightening my pretty crappy Tuesday. :) EF⁵ 22:09, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
