Assessing articles

Just in case anybody wonders why I'm suddenly assessing lots of articles, it's because I'm working on getting all of the unassessed articles assessed. There are currently 436, so it may take a while, but it needs doing in order to know what needs work. – DarkGlow • 20:00, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Possible vandalism

Please examine the edits made by Blanchey. I don't watch the show but I think a large number of name and place changes are suspicious. Aithus (talk) 13:37, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

@Aithus: Thank you for your expression. Having looked at a number of edits of this user, I don't see anything that stands out as problematic. What I see on the surface appears to be a number of good faith edits which are updating previously outdated information to what is now relevant. Admittedly, I have not cross-checked every edit of this user, so could not say this is the case for the entirety, but the few random ones do not give me cause for concern. Very few, if any, are reliably sourced but then that is a common problem among many soap character articles, so I am using my own knowledge of the show here to pass a casual observation.

@Aithus: Hello – I saw these edits on my watchlist earlier at the time they were made. They're all in good faith and correct; the details on their home were previously outdated. I can see how from an uninvolved point of view it would look like vandalism. so thanks for bringing it up! Better to be safe. – DarkGlow • 18:59, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

@Bungle: and @DarkGlow: Thank you for your explanation. Sorry for the false alarm. Aithus (talk) 23:32, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Introducer

I have recently noticed that many Emmerdale characters list the producers as their introducers rather than the executive producers (eg Meena Jutla having Kate Brooks and Laura Shaw listed under introducer rather than Jane Hudson). This rule comes under the infobox documentation so should be followed; it's a fairly easy task to fix but could be quite time consuming. Emmerdale is quite an oddity in that there were some periods with no execs credited, to which I would say "introducer" should be removed from said years' infoboxes, with the incorrect ones amending. – DarkGlow • 23:23, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Consistency

Hello, following issues with consistency on all the yearly character articles, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me. I would like all articles’ other characters box to be consistent, the colouring needs to be grey like it is on more recent year articles and the size need to be the same as the one on List of Emmerdale characters (2022) per MOS:SMALLTEXT. I also need the actors first name to only be mentioned once in the other characters box per another mos. (E.g. if Cain Dingle was mentioned, the first time it would look like ‘Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley)’ and from then onwards, it would only have to look like ‘Cain (Hordley)’ and links would not be required either. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. @DarkGlow: has stated that he would be happy to help as well. Thank you Blanchey (talk) 20:10, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm currently working on updating the very first table to see what kind of changes it involves and how long it takes. – DarkGlow • 20:25, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I guess that this can be a trial to see how it goes and if you’d be willing to use it on all of them Blanchey (talk) 20:41, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Cleared of stubs

I'm aware there is little to no activity on here lately, but thought I'd post an update just in case. I've cleared the stub category, so focus should now be on improving start-class articles. – Meena • 11:52, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
