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)

Paddy's wife affair

I think there would be a great storyline if paddy's wife was to be expecting and that the baby is Black when it is born This would lead into the existing storyline of Paddy's depression 78.147.161.107 (talk) 11:10, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
