Nicola wheeler/Nicola King updates

Nicola Wheeler/ Nicola king is the second longest serving female cast member. She joined in 2001 but quit in Jan 2006. However she returned 18 months later and despite taking maternity leave in 2015 she has remained in the role since. She has currently been in the role for 20 years. This needs to be updated and added to the longest serving cast members of Emmerdale page please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Percy2345 (talk • contribs) 04:24, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Laurel update

Laurel update needed she has been in the show 20 years now. Please can this be added to longest serving section. Percy2345 (talk) 02:27, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

The last place on the table is 21 years, so once she gets to that, I'll add her. – Meena • 09:08, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Incorrect she should be added as she has now been in Emmerdale 20 years Percy2345 (talk) 01:27, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Not acceptable to wait until she has been in it for 21 years just because the last number is 21. There is no point in having a longest serving cast member list if a cast member doesnt match the last in the list. Chaz has almost reached 20 years so do we have to wait for 21 years again? Percy2345 (talk) 01:31, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Also 20 years is a huge milestone especially in a soap. Just because the last character in the list is 21 years is irrelevant.laurel has been in Emmerdale for 20 years which is a massive milestone. Percy2345 (talk) 03:34, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

20 years in a soap is not recognized apparently?? Percy2345 (talk) 00:36, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 14 October 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Can somebody remove the unsourced material from the Families section in the Setting and Characters category? If the text is to stay, can somebody else add some sources to back up the information as per Misplaced Pages rules? 87.114.2.209 (talk) 15:43, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi again, 87. Hope you are well. I will have a look for you in a while. :) Blanchey (talk) 19:00, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

@Meena, JuneGloom07, Soaper1234, and Raintheone: pinging a few soap editors. What are your thoughts on this? I read through the section the user above was referring to and there were only 2 sources I believe. Should all the other information be removed (and can be added back if someone wants to back it up with sources)? Also, hope you are all well. Blanchey (talk) 20:50, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm fine thank you. I think there are three unsourced material notices in that section. The ones that say citation needed.87.114.2.209 (talk) 20:53, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

It certainly would be more favourable to find a source instead of removing it, as that is the whole point in Misplaced Pages! However, I don’t know where to look nor have much time either. If you felt up to it, you could always have a look and drop the links on here? The other thing, recently, a lot of emmerdale articles have had a major cleanup of lots of content known as fancruft, which in other words is information which only concerns a very small number of people, not something most readers would need to know, and that information is better for Emmerdale Wiki on Fandom. I’d argue that a lot of this may be fancruft (particularly the newer information) so that is another reason it could be removed… Blanchey (talk) 21:19, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

I'll have a go at sourcing the info. It might be a bit in-universe, but I wouldn't call it fancruft. Personally, I'd remove that Longest-appearing actors table. Not only is it unsourced, but List of longest-serving soap opera actors exists, and the info can be conveyed through prose. - JuneGloom07 Talk 00:10, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, JuneGloom07. I will try to have a look and see if there is anything useful that can be added too. Blanchey (talk) 06:18, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

I think two of the unsourced points have been removed now from the section. There is one left however, near the bottom of the paragraph.87.114.2.209 (talk) 08:23, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

 Partly done: Since last message here was about 12 days ago I've gone ahead and boldy removed the last sentence without citation that ole' 87 mentioned. Zero complaints restoring with citation or if there is consensus to bring it back with the tag. As any further adjustments relating to this request are under discussion, gonna close this out. Cheers, everyone! —Sirdog (talk) 07:23, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Departing cast members/longest serving cast members

Cast members who have been in the show twenty years should be added but apparently this cannot be done because 21 years is last on the list. Also cast members who are departing cannot be edited until they have actually left. I would have thought it was easier to edit now rather than later. But stupid rules means that Chaz (Lucy Pargeter) cannot be added to the longest serving cast member list. No point having a longest serving list then really. Don't get me started on Diane (Elizabeth) she left but returned for the 50th anniversary episodes however on the list it says 1999- 2023 but on the page for Elizabeth and departing cast members it says 2022. So which is it. 2022 or 2023? Need i go on. Percy2345 (talk) 20:41, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
