[edit] EastEnders

Already a good article, vastly improved since last FA nomination, fully referenced, trivia section removed, I thiunk it deserves to be a featured article! -Trampikey^{(talk)(contribs)} 16:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose For now but is almost there. As above something needs doing with the list of people in the Characters section. Add more the the History section from the History of EastEnders article. Don't see the point of the Online section, needs to be removed. The Viewership section has no references. The References in the Awards table don't really need to be in a seperate collum, the IMDb one is linked 21 times! External links should come before the template. Buc 09:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose As television articles on Wikipedia go this is better than the majority, but I don't think it's quite up to featured standard yet. Basically the prose needs a considerable polish — in particular, there are quite a few one-sentence paragraphs, which interrupt the flow and just look ugly. Angmering 21:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
