Coincidence?

Isn't it strange that Ln of x and Trueman 31 both returned within days of each other? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I know Ln of X is the Abi loving one, and I do remember this Trueman name, but what was his method of vandalism? I would not be surprised if it's the same guy as WHJ1990 (or whatever he's called) and User:DodgeChris, who caused massive problems while you were away, and one of his checkuser things suggests they are related Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Dodgechris. They do have one thing in common, they're all so annoying.GunGagdin^Moan 18:49, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Trueman just adds false stuff, like Dot's departure due to June Brown's age, and Steve McFadden starring in James Bond films. In fact, he used the exact same sentence as last time he was here. Maybe he copied and pasted it into a text file to save it until now. What did WHJ1990 do? Hasn't he started editing constructively now? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:19, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

supposedly....But DodgeChris made about 200 claims that he was editing contructively and it never lasted. I think WHJ used to continuously alter the duration dates and the first and last appearances in the infoboxes, often with false dates. He used to have a fetish for Frank Butcher in particular.GunGagdin^Moan 22:14, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I reckon they're all the same person. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:02, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Finally, the gay Muslim storyline we've waited for since Tamwar was invented!

Yay AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Oooh that's an interesting turn of events. Didnt expect that one! GunGagdin^Moan 18:49, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Syed's article has been well updated, I'm so proud of it! :) AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:19, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

It's looking good. You've done a great job :) GunGagdin^Moan 22:14, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I just went to Tamwar's page to see if the stuff about his gay rumours were still there, and saw the bit about "Tamwar's secrecy concerned his mother in October 2008. She concluded that he was gay, but it transpired that Tamwar was only hiding his new hobby as a stand up comic." Can you remember how Zainab reacted when she thought Tamwar might be gay? Would be interesting to see if her reaction to Syed is any different. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

She didnt seem to like the thought of it IIRC GunGagdin^Moan 23:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Nick Cotton

OK, as an article, it's a disgrace, a ramshackle shed written ad hoc by soap fans rather than those who understand our guidelines. Still, if the article is to have any merit whatsoever, it's worth writing properly, or not at all. Cheers. Rodhullandemu 23:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair dos. I rewrote the part that was actually plot summary as present anyway and I think it's worded better than the pure plot summary that was there before. but the commentary is still in past in the part I wrote. 23:15, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your improvements; some people just do not seem to get that we should write about fiction from a detached perspective as if we are watching it unfold in a different world. Tricky. Rodhullandemu 23:21, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

'Ello

How are you? I don't think I can come back full-time to be honest. Maybe part-time during the summer, but I'm really busy with college, work and girlfriend. I'd like to get back into it, I don't even help on WW anymore, which I should! -Trampikey^{(talk)(contribs)} 07:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello!!! Good to see you're well and enjoying life, much more important than Wiki, after all. So long as we get to see you every so often, i'm happy with that :) I miss my student days ... GunGagdin^Moan 19:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Owen Turner

Hello. Do you think Owen Turner should be given his own article again? He's returning this year and we can add some OOU stuff, there's already a quote from Diederick Santer and the the show received 128 complaints when he beat Denise up and she lost a tooth. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 11:23, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, yeah, if there's enough OOU stuff then definitely.What about Liz Turner? GunGagdin^Moan 18:11, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Liz I'm not so sure about. I think she is minor. But there's definitely some OOU stuff right now for Owen, and probably more to come. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Ferreira family

Check it out! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 20:41, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Wow! U have been busy. Fab! Are you gonna merge all the characters into it per the Karims?GunGagdin^Moan 20:51, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I thought about it, because they all have really really short articles. Sasha Perkins could be merged as well. I notice I haven't linked to any of the characters' pages, that's because I was just going to redirect them all straight to the new article, but I had second thoughts about that. As I put in a storylines section for the whole family, it kind of means they don't really need their own sections, which means the loss of infoboxes. How would you feel about that? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 20:54, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure i'd like that, but I do think it would be pointless repeating the same info over and over again. I don't know tbh. I suppose we could use a family promo image of all characters, like this [1].I cant decide.GunGagdin^Moan 22:08, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Ooh there's information on that page that I missed!! I don't think I'd like the loss of infoboxes either, but putting them in the new article would mean a lot of whitespace and repeated information. Expanding individual articles would be repeating what's in the new article. I'm wondering if we could create a brand new EastEnders family infobox. I'm going to experiment with that now. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:16, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

That would be good, but would we have upto 6 or 7 separate image holders, or just one family picture?GunGagdin^Moan 22:18, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I suppose one image with a caption would do the trick, as images for everyone might take up too much space. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I've tried with a template but it's broken at the moment, and just wrong in general. User:AnemoneProjectors/Template:Infobox EastEnders family and User:AnemoneProjectors/Test. Can you come up with anything better? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I dont know how to do this. Not really liking the look of a huge infobox with F/L and occupation. Maybe we should go with the separate character sections after all? GunGagdin^Moan 11:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Not sure of other ways we could use one infobox for the whole family. I'll see what I can do with sections. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:05, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I really don't think sections are going to work for this one. How about if the family infobox has the family members hidden, like the family parts of the current infoboxes? I've put that on my test template now but it's still slightly broken! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:22, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah that could work.GunGagdin^Moan 13:00, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm trying but failing! Will keep working on it. Done a separate template for the actual members, so should be able to list as few or as many as we want. Could use in other articles if we really want. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I got it to work: User:AnemoneProjectors/Test. Thoughts? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:19, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Great, I like it.GunGagdin^Moan 14:40, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I've moved it to the mainspace and put it into the article. Feel free to add any fields you think are necessary. Should we redirect all the Ferreiras there now? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 14:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Guess so, but what about an image? Sasha can probably go into minor, as can Shirley Benson.GunGagdin^Moan 14:52, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Shall we do a family image, if we can find one with Tariq in it as well? Put Sasha and maybe Shirley into minors. Remove Pushpa from minors and redirect to the family??? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 14:56, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, i'm on board with all of that. I was looking for a family image on the official site, they used to have one as wallpaper, but it's been removed, possibly because it only ever had one downloader, and that was Pooja Shah.GunGagdin^Moan 15:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

How do you know Pooja Shah was the only person to download it? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:04, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Because who else would want it? ;) GunGagdin^Moan 15:23, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

You were joking, weren't you? Well, we want it now! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but not to decorate our PCs with!! Yeah, I was joking :) GunGagdin^Moan 17:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

You know, I don't remember Kareena Ferreira ever being sexy in EastEnders. By the way, our article on Marissa Moore is very strange. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:53, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

IIRC, it got nommed for deletion, which was fine by me as she was only a guest character and probably should have just been merged into the minors, but another editor did some work on it, saving it from deletion/merge. It doesnt really follow the same layout as what we've typically done. Not that i've read it properly. What's strange about it in specific? GunGagdin^Moan 20:16, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

It's just unlike any of our other character articles, in almost every way! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 20:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I put that image in for now. You can always add the screeny of Tariq in an alternative image part at the bottom, before it's deleted? GunGagdin^Moan 12:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I noticed, cos I was editing the lead section at the time and there was an edit conflict ;) Yeah good idea about Tariq. Of course the new image is no longer a screenshot, nor personally acquired, so you should probably update that on the image description page. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:27, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I think I'll put Tariq's image somewhere else, like the storylines section. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:29, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Cool, whatever you think. It's looking good. U did an excellent job! Why have you been hiding your article writing skills for so long? if I had of known you were this skilled at doing it, I would have been on at you to do more :) Ask Frickative to have a look, see if she thinks it's good enough for GA. I think so. Sorry about edit conflict :) GunGagdin^Moan 12:36, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm I'm usually not motivated to write articles but when I saw that the Ferreiras were criticised for having a Portuguese name in an article about the Masoods, I thought... 'hmm, I bet I can write a Ferreira family article'. Went on Google News month-by-month and found all those sources. I was just about to nominate it for GA anyway :) (and now I've done it) AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:40, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

You were right! But is it too soon...?

Is it too soon to start this article - User:AnemoneProjectors/Ryan (EastEnders)? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:05, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I think so, if we had no reason to keep Theo unmerged, then we dont have much hope with Ryan with only 2 sources. Frustrating though, because I fancy him, and I have an image that i'm keen to add so I can swoon over him :) GunGagdin^Moan 12:13, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

He is gorgeous, isn't he? He reminds me of Liam from Corrie, but much better looking. And like DS said "He has the look of about four or five characters...". I say add the image to the list! Shall I add my OOU info to the list as well? I hope he gets his top off at some point. They always do that with the hunky characters. By the way, have you noticed that Whitney and Syd look like the same person, only different colours? :) AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:18, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Ooh ooh Neil McDermott played a road sweeper called Ben in EastEnders in 2003! And the stupid Daily Mirror used a picture of Tony for their news story about Ryan! Ha! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I think i'll wait to add the image until we can separate him, just because, the more images on those lists, the more they attract negative attention. He does look a bit like Liam, you're right. I hope he stays around. Syd and Whitney do share similarities. I dont like Syd, I think she's a bore.GunGagdin^Moan 13:50, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Then I'll keep updating the page in my userspace as and when, and we can go from there. Ooh you could email the picture to me if you're not going to upload it ;) AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:13, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll just uplaod then, be easier, then you can save to your pc :) GunGagdin^Moan 16:55, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I was going to send you a WikiMail, then you could have replied to that, but if you're gonna upload it then that's ok too. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:09, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Off topic, but isnt it amusing when you see that Journalists from national newspaper take things that you've personally written for wikipedia and bung them in their papers! I wrote this for the lead in Danniella Westbrook and the Daily Mail has copied it word for word! "Westbrook struggled with a much publicised cocaine addiction throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, which caused the complete erosion of her nasal septum.She sought treatment and no longer uses drugs. She is married with two children, and released her autobiography, The Other Side of Nowhere, in 2006."[2] lol. GunGagdin^Moan 17:15, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

They should pay you for that! I think you can officially say you're a journalist for the Daily Mail! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:37, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Thought you'd like to know I have confirmation that Ryan will be getting his top off quite soon! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:03, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Fabulous, i'll be sure to nab some screenies :) Shame it's pre-watershed, else we may have seen his bottom too, lol GunGagdin^Moan 17:09, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it's about time they did a post-watershed episode, with at least a bare bum in it. No don't, you'll get me too excided! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 18:11, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

More on Ryan: [3][4][5]. Do you want to write it up or shall I? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Exciting. I think you should, seeing as you've already done such a good job, and now we know his surname I think it can be unmerged, what do you reckon?GunGagdin^Moan 18:38, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll give it a go. If Adam Best can have a decent article without appearing, then Ryan certainly can. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:03, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Done! Ryan Malloy (EastEnders). I even mentioned his NAKEDNESS!!!! Can't wait to see that! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:41, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Oooh me too. I'm gonna take screenies! lol GunGagdin^Moan 20:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Please do :) But what do you think of the ar-tickle? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 20:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

looking good so far. We could possibly construct a reception section seeing as he's been branded a hunk so often.GunGagdin^Moan 23:04, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Can we not take the disambiguation away from the page name. Ryan Malloy is only aredirect to a tv show article.GunGagdin^Moan 23:06, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I reckon so. Ryan Malloy is linked in a template but the template's unused. No articles link to it. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
