[edit] Manchester Airport removal of reference

I can't see anywhere in Wikipedias guidelines, a guideline saying not to use .doc references. Even if there is how is one from an official local government website worse than one from a book, which most people can't access? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sheliaval (talkcontribs) 11:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User page!

Ha ha! No problem at all!.... don't tell anybody, but I stole mine in two halves from two other editors, so it's not really mine to own anyway! I say go for it!... I hope all's well with you? I must thank you for your continued watching of Shaw and Crompton! I don't know what I'd do without another editor there!... I've really got into things at the moment, and still can't believe I got Oldham to FA! Might do Middleton next, or Rochdale. -- Jza84 · (talk) 23:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tables in columns (Neighbours)

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your sandbox table, that's exactly what i had in mind. I don't know about you, but i think that would look so much better. I'll add it to my sandbox version and see whether anyone else likes it. Then I'll spend another week trying to get my head around the code! Ged UK (talk) 20:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd be grateful if you could post up your thoughts on the article proposal, because i don't know about you but i'm getting pretty bored with the constant re-editing of the 'going' table! Ged UK (talk) 20:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Old talk page

Thanks for the nudge! I hadn't noticed! I've since tackled the issues raised. I'm actually very well at the moment, which makes a change for me (thanks for asking!). I have noted your comment at Talk:Shaw and Crompton and haven't forgotten to make the changes that were proposed... infact, I may do it this afternoon! --Jza84 |  Talk  14:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Max Branning

I agree the article definitely needs a lot more real world context, as with the excellent article on Pauline Fowler, but I don't necessarily think the tense of the storyline summary will need to change as it does. I think the Pauline article does a good job of differentiating between tenses for out of universe and in-universe information, while still being very much readable. For instance, looking at the Max article as it currently stands, were the information in the Reception section to be integrated alongside the plot summary, it would still be correct for it to read:

...Tanya decides to kill him. She prepares a meal for Max, spiking his wine with crushed pills. When he collapses, she and Sean Slater take him in a van to some deserted woodland, where Sean has dug a hole and placed a coffin. They put Max in the coffin, and leave him to die. [...] This storyline prompted 167 viewer complaints, citing the inappropriate nature of the scenes, which aired prior to the 9.00 pm watershed. The BBC responded with the statement: "Whilst we appreciate that these episodes were dramatic..."[1]

I don't think it would be necessary to revert the plot summary to past tense for this to make sense - as I said, the Pauline article is structured similarly, by way of random example:

Christine makes greater demands on Arthur, threatening to tell Pauline about their affair unless he does so himself. In September 1993, the situation finally reaches a climax on-screen.[2] The scriptwriters had many conferences about ways in which Pauline would find out about the affair; "should she work it out herself or should some third party tell her the truth?"[2]

Basically, it just seems to be a matter of past tense for real world perspective, and present for in-universe information. Alas, I seem to have been reverted again whilst writing this out, so it looks as though I might have to raise the issue on the EastEnders project page. Frickative (talk) 21:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neighbours

Thanx for cleaning up the information on five life changing to Fiver :-)

I only changed the 9am to 10am slot. Do you know why Neighbours is on at 7.30pm on Monday on Fiver? I find it weird to show two new episodes of Home and Away at 6.30pm. Onshore —Preceding comment was added at 14:55, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem, glad I helped! The 7.30pm thing is weird I agree. It's even weirder that at the end of the 7pm showing on Five Life the announcer actually said that Neighbours would be back at the same time on Monday on Fiver, yet the schedule on both Radiotimes and Sky's EPG still say it'll be on at 7.30pm. I'm half expecting it to turn out to be a glitch which will suddenly disappear once the channel relaunches with no explanation. We'll see. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 18:39, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
