Talk:Shirley Carter

Untitled

I just got the article from Shirley Carter to Shirley Wicks. Shirely is the wife of Kevin Wicks, not the ex-wife. I looked on the EastEnders website. It is wrong Wikipedia, I am so sorry. James Forde, 30 October 2006, 15:15 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.107.56 (talk • contribs)

I agree, but you should have asked someone to move the page properly. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:32, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

How can you agree when you're the one who moved it in the first place? Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 18:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I knew you'd say that. The reason I moved it is because YOU told me her name was to be Shirley Carter and I believed you. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 20:46, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Well the sae source I had for that name also revealed Li Chong days before Digital Spy did - there was no need to add it to Wikipedia! Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 22:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Why not? — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

'Cause you only had my word for it - and now you're going back on yourself by moving it back! Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 00:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Are you saying I shouldn't have believed you? Or that I should, because you were right about Li Chong? Anyway, why does it even matter? If her name actually does turn out to be Carter, we can just change it again. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Family

Were here parents and brother mentioned in the show or has someone made them up and put them on here? I was on holiday when they were put up, so I didn't see the episodes that week... :S -Trampikey^{(talk)(contribs)} 15:04, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't remember them being mentioned but a) I have a short attention span and b) I have poor short term memory so it could have been mentioned and either I didn't notice or I've forgotten. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 15:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

After all, 16 July was a long time ago in the EastEnders universe. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 15:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I think due to this source http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2011/may/18/world-of-lather-alternative-soap-awards, Shirley can have a promo pic for her article. It talks about Big fur collar, tarty skirt, knee boots – A/W 2010's "sex worker meets The Tudors" look. So if anyone has time please, look for one, there may not be one though. ;) You can add to the lead whilst your there to. MayhemMario 16:24, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand what you're meaning Mario as Shirley already has a screenshot in her infobox. I'm fairly certain we can't use promo pics, I think you'll find with them copyright will belong to the BBC and EastEnders and would therefore be a copyright violation, something that Wikipedia takes very seriously indeed.--5 albert square (talk) 17:09, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Im sure if there is a need for the promo to appear- i.e. characterization then it's allowed right? I mean look at: Mandy Salter,Tiffany Butcher,Vanessa Gold,Eddie Moon,Rob Minter, Manda Best, etc.... MayhemMario 19:11, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

To be honest I'm not sure why you need promo pics when you already have a screenshot. I think you are being a little greedy trying to use them for all of them. Eddie and Vanessa have quite a big chunk of info... It's like with Manda Best - The only part really making reference to her look is "hippy dresses and glasses" - the pic just has her glasses, which a screenshot could have done. Shirley's pic seems fine.RaintheOne ^BAM 19:33, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Promo pics are owned by the BBC, just as screenshots are. That's why we have fair use. The main thing that allows us to use this images at all is critical commentary on a character's appearance. That doesn't mean we have to use promo photos when we have this commentary. It means that if a promo photo shows the clothes/hair/make up/accessories, we can use that, but a screenshot showing the same appearance will do. It helps to strengthen our fair use claims, in order to stop photos being deleted when people claim they are replaceable by free actor photos. This seems to have stopped now though. –anemoneprojectors– 13:41, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that a number of promo pics were deleted recently from a certain medical drama. If you are to use them - make the reason for using water tight - These days, everyone seems to be no nonsense when it comes to speedy deletion and just rid of them in a flash. Regardless of a four paragraph rationale. :/RaintheOne ^BAM 13:49, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Shirley return

We don't know when or if she will be back that's why we can't add a year. Adavid299 (talk) 17:46, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
