Lack of development
FYI, the lack of development information on characters is the reason they end up in an 'other characters' table. It could be info regarding reception, awards received for the role, casting info, etc etc from a reliable source. – Meena • 16:56, 30 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay, I do apologise. I was wanting to develop a few different characters into sections if they were regular characters or recurring but played a vital role in a particular storyline. Please can you tell me what I can do next time to do a better job of developing . EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 17:12, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It's ok! Wanting to expand the site is a good thing, it just has to be done properly. The way to do it is finding sourced information on the character, such as the actor speaking about the character's personality, what is ahead for them, etc. A recent example would be what I've done for Claudette Anderson. Do you see the difference in her section to one just composed of fictional plot? It needs real-world information. If you need any further help, please do ask – Meena • 17:16, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Well as I've been wanting to make edits to a few pages, and have done some developments on the Coronation Street 2022 characters page. Perhaps I could share with you which characters I wanted to develop and maybe you could help me? EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 17:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I noticed the movements on the 2022 page - the issue with Ted and Jon is that there is no real-world information there, just plot. And sure, go ahead. – Meena • 17:20, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * As you've mentioned those two characters, perhaps you could help me develop those. There's four pages I wanted to develop characters into sections on:
 * Coronation Street characters (2021):
 * Fergus Dunford
 * Phill Whittaker
 * Orla Crawshaw
 * Tez Wyatt
 * Stu Carpenter
 * Hashim Elamin
 * Isla Haywood
 * Dr Handley
 * Marrium Nazir
 * Coronation Street characters (2022):
 * Ted Spear
 * Jon Spear
 * Aaron Sandford
 * Ben Chancellor
 * Bridget Woodrow
 * Lucy Woodrow
 * Laurence Reeves
 * Griff Reynolds
 * Eliza Woodrow
 * Fern Lindon
 * Daryan Zahawi
 * Eric Sandford
 * Lauren Bolton
 * Emmerdale (2021):
 * Hazel
 * Alex Moore
 * Emmerdale (2022):
 * Callum Matthews
 * Kit
 * Colin Hamston EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 17:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Today's edits.
Hello again, I'm very sorry. I moved them as they didn't have a lot of information about the characters. I apologise if that was the wrong thing to do. As I've said before, there's a few sections that I would like to add to some pages, however with regards to real world information, reception and development, please could you explain what I can do to make a success of edits? EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 12:06, 5 July 2023 (UTC)


 * It's ok, we all make mistakes at the start of our editing journey, most experienced editors still do every now and again! The key factor is that a section shouldn't just consist of fictional in-universe plot info. It should have quotes from critics, award noms/wins if the actor was nominated, quotes from producers and the actor themselves too. Use List of Emmerdale characters (2022) as an example - every character with a section includes quotes, reception, etc, rather than just a storyline recap. – Meena • 13:12, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, fantastic. However, I was wondering if you could help me create some sections for certain characters for certain soap pages, which are either regular characters or even recurring ones that played a part in a storyline:
 * List of Coronation Street characters (2021):
 * Fergus Dunford
 * Phill Whittaker
 * Orla Crawshaw
 * Stu Carpenter
 * List of Coronation Street characters (2022):
 * Ben Chancellor
 * Aaron Sandford
 * Laurence Reeves
 * Griff Reynolds
 * Fern Lindon
 * Daryan Zahawi
 * List of Coronation Street characters (2023):
 * Owen Longford
 * Sabrina Adetiba
 * List of Emmerdale characters (2021):
 * Esme
 * Hazel
 * Alex Moore
 * List of Emmerdale characters (2022):
 * Callum Matthews
 * Colin Hamston
 * List of Emmerdale characters (2023):
 * Faye Helders
 * List of EastEnders characters (2022):
 * Ranveer Gulati
 * Denzel Danes
 * Davinder "Nugget" Gulati
 * List of EastEnders characters (2023):
 * Tyson EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 14:00, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm busy and like to edit things of my choice, so I won't have time for any of those. – Meena • 15:43, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Unsourced material
Hey, I hope you are doing well and having a lovely day. I wanted to first thank you for your contributions to Emmerdale articles. However, I have noticed that some of your contributions - such as at List of Emmerdale characters (2024) and List of Emmerdale characters (1997) - are completely unsourced. I do completely understand that it is hard to find sources sometimes, but unsourced material should generally not be included if it cannot be verified. I am happy to help with sourcing but please do refrain from adding material that is completely unsourced. Per the MOS and WP:SOAPS, the storylines section do not need to be sourced, as watching the show acts as a source, but the casting info etc does.

Additionally, per the MOS, abbreviated years can be used if consecutive, so there is no need to change 2022–23 or other ones like that, especially in infoboxes where there is limited space.

Please do let me know if you have any questions :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 15:35, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello there, thank you for your message. Regarding article sections in articles that are lists of soap characters from over 20 years ago, there's not a lot of sources regarding them, plus the same goes for those who were already there. EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 16:59, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * If an article does not have enough sources, the focus should be on sourcing the characters, not adding more unsourced content. There are some sources from the Wayback machine (which has archive URLs) and magazines, which users like myself and are trying to add to improve articles. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 17:58, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * DDOOL is correct in asking you to add sources. In addition to those mentioned above there are also news archives for characters from that era. The Free Library, Newspapers.com, British Newspaper Archive, Gale are just some useful tools for sourcing old information. Also can you start using edit summaries, you have been here two years now so it is about time you did.Rain the 1 18:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello there, yes I will do my best to remember to add edit summaries when I make edits. EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 21:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, I understand. It puts a project of mine on a hold though, which was to add more character sections on older pages, more importantly the regular characters as I feel they should be represented. If I can find sources for those older characters going forwards I will going forwards. EmmerdaleFan2001 (talk) 21:12, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
