[edit] Coronation Street overseas

This section is very good, but it really needs some references from reliable sources. I can find one or two on websites and in some print references, but any help would be massively welcome! Ben 13:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Featured article

I think that this article is almost back up to featured article standard. A few more citations are required in places (particularly Coronation Street overseas and broadcast format). Later sections may also need to be reviewed, which I am happy to get on with when I find the time. What do others think about a possible F/A nomination? Ben 00:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been watching the progress of this article with interest in recent weeks, mostly in preparation to record a spoken version. In my opinion, it's time to nominate it: you have done an excellent job in improving all aspects of the article. In particular, for an article about a programme which is still in existence today, it is good to see that equal prominence has been given to the "old days" and more recent times: each of the five decade sections are of a very similar length and structure. I have not attempted to edit the article at all so far because, unlike you, I lack the relevant published sources (apart from 40 Years of Coronation Street by Daran Little); but if it goes for -nomination and any issues are raised, I shall try to offer some help in resolving them in order to get it back to the status we both feel this excellent programme deserves. Leave a message on my talk page if you would like me to look at anything or help in any way. PS. I will probably have a go at finishing the spoken article this weekend. If any substantial edits are subsequently made to the article to get it to , I would re-record the relevant bits later. Hassocks5489 13:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your comments. The only real major change will probably be in the opening parts of 1960s:kitchen-sink drama. At the moment most of the content is unsourced as it has remained in the article for a long time. Hopefully I will be able to try and find citations for the content, if not it may require tweaking here and there. I don't think that there is anything else all that major to be done, apart from consolidating some of the later sections, especially production staff. Any help would be gratefully accepted, I'm sure that there is a lot of information in the 40 Years of Coronation Street book about production staff over the years. Ben 20:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoken version added

I have added a spoken version of this article; see the link at the top. Hassocks5489 22:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Well done, Hassocks! Very well done with the spoken version, brilliant! Ben 22:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
