Other characters
Hello – I'm not sure if you remember, but a few weeks ago I mentioned that I planned on doing some cleanup to the 2021 Corrie other characters section. I've finally remembered to do it! I wanted to explain some of the changes just so you can follow them in future. Basically, there is a policy called WP:OVERLINK which, in short, says that links should not be repeated within the same section. So if a character/actor is linked once in a section, they do not need to be linked again, and the first name of the actor can be missed too. Eg, the guideline would prefer (Mellor) over (Will Mellor). Let me know if you have any questions! – DarkGlow • 20:42, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, I do remember, thank you for doing and thank you for informing me. How come you put (Mellor) instead of (Will Mellor) in the other characters section? If he had already been mentioned once, surely he wouldn’t need to have his surname mentioned aswell? Thanks for the help Blanchey (talk) 21:52, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- This is how I've seen other sections done – but it would work without the surname at all if that's preferred. – DarkGlow • 23:16, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know Blanchey (talk) 08:02, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Good morning, can I ask, is it possible to put a template in a information box. If you look at my page, I want to put, this user helps newcomers into the box where I have my favourite soap characters, if that is possible do you know how? Many thanks Blanchey (talk) 07:19, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

September 2021
Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to ITV Nightscreen, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 02:41, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Sabeen Habeeb
Elaine had an exit storyline back in May. Her recent handful of appearances three months ago were written as a short visit and since then she has been off-screen despite things happening with her character that she hasn't been present for. Sabeen never received a departure scene and her character is involved with the Imran and Abi affair. If there's still no news about Sabeen in a month or so I would accept her removal but as it stands she's been missing little over six weeks! Connorguy99 (talk) 02:34, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for undoing that edit of mine – I was fixing the errors it made but noticed you'd already done it lol. – DarkGlow • 09:18, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- I don’t remember un doing anything it was probably happened automatically when I was adding a citation, but at least the article’s okay now Blanchey (talk) 09:20, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- Have there been any other characters for 2022 yet? I may start the 2022 article, perhaps as a draft while there are no regular characters, if you're interested in contributing to it? – DarkGlow • 09:23, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- That would be a great idea. I don’t actually know how to create articles but I am happy to contribute. All I know of so far, was Ted, the pensioner who was knocked down in the road by Faye. Blanchey (talk) 09:26, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- I've started the draft here, so feel free to add whenever there's a character. I'm on the draft committee so I can move the draft over when it's ready to be a main article. Oh, and we can link all the characters/actors once since it's a new page – DarkGlow • 09:45, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

- Hello DarkGlow, just want to let you know I think the 2022 article is good so far, can I suggest that you wrap (I think that’s the right word) the text box for the other characters like you did with the Emmerdale one Blanchey (talk) 13:29, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- The 2022 Corrie list is already wrapped – does it display differently on your device? – DarkGlow • 17:29, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

- Oh I see, I thought it wasn’t but you are right, it is. How long now until you will submit for review? Blanchey (talk) 19:28, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- I don't need to submit it because I have page moving rights and am on the draft committee, so I can do it myself when it's ready I'm holding off until we can get a regular character with a developed section. – DarkGlow • 19:46, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oh I see, I thought it wasn’t but you are right, it is. How long now until you will submit for review? Blanchey (talk) 19:28, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Okay! Blanchey (talk) 19:48, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- So if I started a draft for another page for example, would I be able to move it myself once it was done? It says I am an extended confirmed user because I have made more than 500 edits and there is an option to, but am I allowed to? Or do I still have to go through the draft committee? Thanks Blanchey (talk) 14:19, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- You'd have to submit it as you're not on the AfC committee like me, which basically is just a group of people that accept and deny drafts. – DarkGlow • 14:22, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

What was your message about? Connorguy99 (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Links to draft articles
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to List of former Coronation Street characters. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 21:26, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, sorry about that Blanchey (talk) 09:06, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Re: Clarification time
In August 2019 Anthony Cotton first teased the return of an old character for a "big storyline" with Sean for the end of that year. [1] None of this transpired on-screen and Sean didn't get a storyline at the end of 2019 nor did a character return. In fact it wasn't until over a year later in October 2020 that any character related to Sean returned in the form of Dylan. There have also been other times when Anthony has made things seem grander than they actually were - for example, he called both Sean's homelessness and pyramid scheme storylines "major" when in reality they only lasted for a few episodes. I personally don't think that Anthony is too much of a reliable source, but I wouldn't object to Dylan being placed in the returning character section. Connorguy99 (talk) 22:47, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Connorguy99: Oh I see what you mean, in that case then I probably won’t place Dylan in returning characters, unless we have another source. Have a good evening Blanchey (talk) 23:00, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Discussion on my behalf
I’ve now tried to talk to one of the admins roaming on the vandal report page and told them the entire story. I really hope this works. All I want is for things to be right again. WikiFlame50 (talk) 19:30, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: I’m sure it will be. In my opinion, DarkGlow is very kind and in the past has helped me with a few account issues which I was thankful for. I’m sure if you explain how you were feeling and why you did it, he’ll forgive you. Blanchey (talk) 19:33, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- I’ve apologised to him and told him that the IPS kept pissing me off and practically spammed my page with templates I didn’t want. I don’t know if he’s gonna forgive me. I think he hates me now. WikiFlame50 (talk) 19:34, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- I never said dark was evil, I know he ain’t. I just find it so strange why he would act this way towards me considering at some stages how nice I’ve been with him. WikiFlame50 (talk) 19:35, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- I’m just waiting for the outcome. WikiFlame50 (talk) 19:36, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: you can’t afford to think like that, it’s damaging. I’m sure he will forgive you as holding grudges is contrary to wikilove. Blanchey (talk) 19:37, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- I really don’t want to. I’m just scared that the report outcome will be dire. If it goes in the good direction, I’m laying low 100%. WikiFlame50 (talk) 19:39, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: would you mind if I moved this discussion back to your talk page? Blanchey (talk) 19:41, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sure. You can do that! WikiFlame50 (talk) 19:42, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
The Resilient Barnstar | |
For stepping up as an editor. You've gone from a less capable editor to a more matured and wise one. Well done and keep going! – DarkGlow • 20:00, 3 May 2022 (UTC) |
- @DarkGlow: Thank you! That is very kind Blanchey (talk) 20:03, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
What am I gonna do.
I keep making stupid mistakes because of those damn IPs following me around. Nobody seems to care about that at all. Apart from you and JBW but still. I’ve tried to remain good but every single time I try, the IPs keep following me around. And now Dark wants my head on a stick again! I keep making dumb mistakes. Just what can I do Blanchey? You are the only one who understands me. WikiFlame50 (talk) 09:20, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: In terms of Toyah Battersby, I’m very sorry that it didn’t go your way in terms of middle name. As I think JuneGloom said, articles should only have what’s really in the best interest of the public, since it’s not a fan site. Fandom on the other hand, which as you know is very much like Wikipedia, does allow the use of middle names and it does say Toyah Laverne on that, so readers who really do want to know all the little details will be able to find it there. Again, I know that this isn’t what you wanted but you did all you could by starting a discussion on the talk page. Now that a decision has been made, we have to respect it. In terms of the IPs, I haven’t had a look yet but if you feel like they are harassing you, consider taking an even longer wiki break. If their harassment gets worse, you may have to report it again because it could come a more serious matter from what I have read on project pages. Blanchey (talk) 09:58, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I’ve told JBW and hopefully they will get dealt with WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:03, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- You can find the IP stuff on Phil Mitchell WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:03, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- And now the ip yet again stalked me on Sam Mitchell. Tell me that that wasn’t a coincidence. WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:12, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: I thought they were blocked? Blanchey (talk) 10:12, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- It appears they aren’t. I think there is more than one. WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:15, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I checked their page and it says 1 month from my talkpage and not from this site itself. WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:15, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50 I think you need to take another wiki break and return when the dust has settled. It’s clear that this anonymous user has it in for you so if you take a break, they’ll get bored and forget about it. Blanchey (talk) 10:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- It’s really strange. WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:16, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I also noticed your new report on HaveSomeSoups. I think that is another ZestyLemonz sock now that you mention it. WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Perhaps you may be right. How long is necessary do you think? WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Things would only really go back to normal if all the IPs where gone. WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:18, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: a week or two at least. During your absence, I and the other soap editors will keep the articles in good shape and when you return, hopefully you will have a more pleasant experience. Then again, it’s up to you. Blanchey (talk) 10:19, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I’ll do enough time. But thanks for your advice. Just make sure those IPs don’t do anymore harm to anyone else. I suggest right now, keep an eye on Sam Mitchell and Phil Mitchell. WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:20, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
@WikiFlame50 I don’t actually edit EastEnders articles since I don’t actually watch it. However, I’m sure editors like DarkGlow and JuneGloom07 will keep an eye. Blanchey (talk) 10:22, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- As long as someone knows. It’s all good. WikiFlame50 (talk) 10:24, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: I’ve just looked through your talk page history and it seems as though the 2A01 IP user has been challenging you since January. If they have a genuine concern regarding editing, that’s fine but if they are just doing it to troll you, that’s not on. You may wish to consider changing your username to make it harder for you to be found. This IP doesn’t seem to challenge any other editor as much as they do you… Blanchey (talk) 14:35, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Wait, January? WikiFlame50 (talk) 15:09, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I never even noticed that. At all. WikiFlame50 (talk) 15:09, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Maybe a username change will do just fine. It’ll get em off my back. (I hope) WikiFlame50 (talk) 15:10, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Alright. I’ve sent in a request for a change. Hopefully it’ll fix it WikiFlame50 (talk) 15:15, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: Hopefully Blanchey (talk) 15:38, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- DUDE I THINK I MIGHT KNOW WHO COULD BE BEHIND THE IPS! WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:03, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- After reviewing the history of Phil Mitchell’s page, I saw that HaveSomeSoups guy was blocked for being ZestyLemonz. When that IP started to talk, after I made an edit that soup guy said “and as I’ve just said” when it was there first edit to the page! WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:04, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I think, just maybe. JUST MAYBE zesty is behind those IPs! He really hates me because I continuously reported him and got his sock accounts taken down. And he even sent me a death threat too! I’m not sure, but that really drives me suspicious! WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:05, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- He’s been reported before by being an IP. So maybe it’s him. I’m not sure if I’m right, but that edit history on Phil Mitchell just really says something! WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I wouldn’t be surprised as Zesty is known for this sort of thing. They probably hate me now too, since I was the one who reported HaveSomeSoups. I saw that months ago on one of their many sock accounts they said that your name was Clive and that Clive had died, and you had been using his account, even put a picture of Jimmy Savile up! Blanchey (talk) 16:29, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- The IPs have got to be him! WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:34, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
First the IP was banging on about Phil being the longest serving character, next HaveSomeSoups edited after me with the words “and as I’ve just said” He must be the one. He Must be the one tormenting me. I just know it. WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:35, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: I saw you sent a request to change your username although there maybe a bit of a wait, hopefully it’ll get done soon. You won’t believe this but I actually have had 3 previous usernames lol! Blanchey (talk) 16:36, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- He was a user name DietCola46, and he sent me and I quote “ User:WikiFlame50. There’s something you should know about me darlin, I don’t play so nice these days. Cross me and I’ll put you down. I know where you live so STOP reporting me or there’ll be trouble.” He wants revenge of some sort. 100%. Maybe that’s where the January stuff came in. WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:37, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- And yeah hopefully I’ll be safe once the change happens WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:38, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: I remember that. I believe you reported it to wp emergency since that is a threat to kill Blanchey (talk) 16:38, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- But right now I am convinced the IPs are him. WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:38, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I wasn’t even scared of it because he was trying to scare me. He doesn’t really know where I live. WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:39, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- But seriously, if he pulls something like that again. The cops will be on his tail. WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:39, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: feel free to file a report about the IPs on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ZestyLemonz Blanchey (talk) 16:39, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh trust me, I will. If the IP continues to harass me, I’m reporting it. WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:41, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: if you do make sure you say it’s coming from that entire range since it’s coming from multiple IPs. Blanchey (talk) 16:43, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- There’s so many of them. But I’ll make sure I’ll list them all. WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:48, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I think there’s 2 or 3. I’ll have to ask JBW about them WikiFlame50 (talk) 16:54, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
@WikiFlame50: YOU WERE RIGHT! Report him now Blanchey (talk) 17:21, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- So, we finally meet Zesty, my first question, what do you actually get out of vandalising Wikipedia huh? Blanchey (talk) 17:22, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Also, how am I begging to communicate with you? Blanchey (talk) 17:22, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- AHA!!! I KNEW IT WAS YOU WikiFlame50 (talk) 18:01, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I KNEW YOU WHERE THE ONE TORMENTING ME! WikiFlame50 (talk) 18:01, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I’ve reported him to the user that blocked Zestys recent sock account. So this fool should be dealt with yet again. WikiFlame50 (talk) 18:05, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @WikiFlame50: Just seen they’ve been blocked. Thanks so much for reporting them. I’m still gonna be taking a break for a couple of days because the whole situation has stressed me out a lot. After you see this, I’m gonna archive this entire discussion to get rid of it all. Have a good evening and see you on here again soon. Blanchey (talk) 18:19, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Of course buddy. It’s all over now! WikiFlame50 (talk) 18:20, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
Bare URLs
Hi Blanchey. When you add references to pages, can you fill them out as opposed to placing a bare URL link? A bare URL is at risk of link rot, you can read the article I just linked for more info on it. – DarkGlow • 16:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- @DarkGlow: Sure, thanks for letting me know! Have a good evening Blanchey (talk) 17:54, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Have you also had a chance you look at your talk page? Blanchey (talk) 17:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- @DarkGlow: hey DarkGlow, I have just added a properly filled citation to 2022 Corrie characters although had some trouble at the end, please could you have a look and let me know how to do the particular issue correctly. Thanks Blanchey (talk) 18:20, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hey, I've corrected it. Just make sure to always format access dates and dates like how we do on actual articles, like "19 May 2022" as opposed to "19-05-22" or "19/05/2022". – DarkGlow • 18:35, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- @DarkGlow: got it, thanks Blanchey (talk) 18:57, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, and another small thing. When adding the "nowrap" template to the page, make sure you put the ending brackets (}}). I always put the "nowrap" around the reference too, since it means the reference is kept on the same line as the text, so it doesn't put the [1] on the next line by itself. Does that make sense? – DarkGlow • 20:52, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I am actually about to add Ben chancellor to the other characters list so will do it this time. Thanks for letting me know Blanchey (talk) 21:00, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, and another small thing. When adding the "nowrap" template to the page, make sure you put the ending brackets (}}). I always put the "nowrap" around the reference too, since it means the reference is kept on the same line as the text, so it doesn't put the [1] on the next line by itself. Does that make sense? – DarkGlow • 20:52, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- @DarkGlow: got it, thanks Blanchey (talk) 18:57, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hey, I've corrected it. Just make sure to always format access dates and dates like how we do on actual articles, like "19 May 2022" as opposed to "19-05-22" or "19/05/2022". – DarkGlow • 18:35, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- @DarkGlow: hey DarkGlow, I have just added a properly filled citation to 2022 Corrie characters although had some trouble at the end, please could you have a look and let me know how to do the particular issue correctly. Thanks Blanchey (talk) 18:20, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to David Metcalfe: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. – DarkGlow • 12:10, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- @DarkGlow: hey, yes I know about them although I didn’t feel that one was necessary on this occasion. Should it happen again, I’ll leave a polite notice on their page. Blanchey (talk) 12:13, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Any unconstructive edit should result in a warning on their page, esp since they ignored and removed a note. Since it was the first sign of vandalism I gave them a L1 warning, which is soft and polite in wording. In future, make sure you do the same unless it really is a good faith edit. – DarkGlow • 12:15, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- @DarkGlow: Ah okay, sorry I didn’t realise, thank you for doing Blanchey (talk) 13:01, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey Blanchey. Remember how you had a problem with somebody trying to enter your account? Bad news. It’s also happened to me! Multiple failed attempts it said. Was that similar to you? LordBossMaster100 (talk) 22:19, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- Right after a huge soap moment too. It’s awfully strange. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 22:22, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100: It happened to me the other day on two occasions, I had a notification saying ‘multiple failed attempts to login to your account’ although it has now stopped. I don’t know who it could have been… Blanchey (talk) 07:45, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- I changed my password. So hopefully it won’t happen again LordBossMaster100 (talk) 11:50, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Since it happened to you. And me. I have a sense that perhaps Zesty is responsible LordBossMaster100 (talk) 11:51, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100: hopefully not… did you watch the soap awards? Are you happy that Paige won best leading performer Blanchey (talk) 11:51, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oh definitely. Mark and Paige got their recognition LordBossMaster100 (talk) 12:34, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Especially winning best soap. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 12:34, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100: totally. Also I’ve recently started watching EastEnders on Bbc three at the weekend. I don’t watch in the week because it’s on at the same time as emmerdale and I’m starting to pick up whats going on! I have to say I am enjoying it a lot so now I watch Coronation Street, Emmerdale and EastEnders. I’m not yet going to be editing many EE articles since I’m not fully aware of what’s going on although hopefully I will soon. It was pretty quick when I started the other two… Blanchey (talk) 12:41, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Do whatever you like LordBossMaster100 (talk) 12:44, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100: hi again, I just created Draft:Yasmeen Nazir. I think that Yasmeen is a pretty notable character and probably has lots of development (especially with the Geoff story). I was wondering if you’d be interested in contributing? Blanchey (talk) 14:41, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- I’ll visit every now and then. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 15:16, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
@LordBossMaster100: thanks! Blanchey (talk) 15:25, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- The IP on the Eastenders characters page is being incredibly annoying, they won’t stop reverting my edits constantly! I’ve sent in a report so hopefully something will happen to them. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 17:53, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100 @DarkGlow, I’ve reported the user. I’m not going to revert any edits because I am not going to engage in an edit war. Blanchey (talk) 17:54, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- I’ll stop now because I’m frankly getting tired of the IP now. They just will not listen. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 17:55, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- I’ve also reported the IP too. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 17:55, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Dark has sent numerous warnings. But every time he does, the IP just removes it and continues to disrupt LordBossMaster100 (talk) 17:56, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100 it’s not on. It’s pure edit warning and a blatant violation of Wikipedias policy. I hope they are blocked for a week or so to prevent further disruptions. Blanchey (talk) 17:57, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Definitely. I just hope I won’t get blamed neither. I was only defending the page. Just like when Zesty was being arrogant on Meenas page. Hopefully an admin will take care of them soon.LordBossMaster100 (talk) 17:58, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100 Hopefully not, but as I’m sure you are aware, it takes at least two to edit war. Even if you categorically know you are right, you should never edit war, skip it and report it. That’s unless it’s blatant vandalism of course which in this situation I’m sure that several admins would debate that it’s probably just a content dispute… Blanchey (talk) 18:01, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yes I know that. I was never intentionally trying at all. And the IP was the one who started the chaos. I’m sure they will only take care of the actual troublemaker LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:03, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- I’ll lay low right now and stop. I’ll let the admins deal with them LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:03, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100 sure. I see you commented on my report on the edit warring noticeboard. Hopefully this will stop, and the user will be blocked. Not as a punishment, but to stop further disruption. Blanchey (talk) 18:06, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
I also counted the summaries. I didn’t go that bad with that specific ip. Only four times which really isn’t that bad. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:07, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hopefully something will happen very soon LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:07, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100 Yes, the thing is though, it’s up to three reverts and then it’s considered warring. But for what it’s worth, should any admin speak to you about it, just admit that you did it with good intention and know that it’s wrong, and apologise, they will forgive if you show remorse. Blanchey (talk) 18:09, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- I always do. I really wasn’t intentionally being like them LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:10, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100 I just informed the user about the edit warring report. Removed the message immediately. 🤦♂️ Blanchey (talk) 18:17, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Told ya dude. Told ya LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:18, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- They just don’t listen. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:19, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Seems that more cavalry has come in on the EE page. I bet darks request will get accepted for sure LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:20, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100 The other thing, regardless of the fact that they are incorrect, they aren’t even updating the character correctly. When removing a character you should add it to departing characters and update the character article too. They have not done this, only updating the duration so they are being very unhelpful. Blanchey (talk) 18:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yep. I saw that too. If a character is leaving like the 4 that Clenshaw axed and WAS proven, they should have a departure year instead of present at the end, and it should immediately also be added to the list of departures with the reliable source. I think the IP might get more than a week at this rate. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:27, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100 Or maybe even longer, by which point the issue will be sorted hopefully. Anyway, I’m going to watch Emmerdale now. Be back soon Blanchey (talk) 18:28, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- If Lola is leaving, she should have been mentioned too. It’s frankly bizarre. But maybe in the next coming weeks and months more development should come. All characters get proven an exit very fast. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:27, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Alright then. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:28, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Anniversary
2 years ago today, I created this account. It took me a while to get started although now I am a pending changes reviewer and hoping to become a rollbacker very soon! I’d just like to thank a few editors who I have communicated with frequently
- @DarkGlow:, for all the help you gave me when I was a beginner, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am now! I’ve actually been looking back at some of my first edits from late 2020 – early 2021 and I can’t believe that that was how I edited! Thanks again
- @LordBossMaster100, Connorguy99, and DaniloDaysOfOurLives:, for being friendly and for working with me on certain things, I appreciate it a lot!
- @JuneGloom07:, for also helping me about certain things I am not sure about and being very friendly towards me.
- And @Ponyo: for helping me with things which required adminstrators attention.
Again, I appreciate all the help from everyone and I look forward to working with you all in the future. You are amazing. Have a great day! 😊 Blanchey (talk) 10:35, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Blanchey (talk) 18:43, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Each individual letter can only be one colour, as far as I am aware. That being said, you can make each letter a different colour if you use a different

- There is a software-imposed limit on the number of characters in your signature. Trying to exceed that limit just gets the signature truncated and, probably, broken. I understand there might be some fascination with having a fancy signature, but your fellow editors will tell you to spend your time improving articles and to not worry overmuch about your signature. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 22:17, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk page archive
This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can , contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
Hello there, following a conversation with an administrator this morning, it got me thinking about starting a talk page archive, so people will be able to see all the old messages. At the moment, I am just blanking them so they can only be viewed in page history although this is clearly not ideal. I’d like to start an archive although I’m not sure where to start.
- How do I request that Lowecase sigmabot routinely archives my page?
- How will I know when to start a new archive?
- Which templates do I add to the top of my talk page saying ‘welcome to Blanchey’s talk page where you can send him messages’ eg and directing users to my archives
- if I was to restore all my old discussions, would it ping any users who I pinged at the time I wrote it?
All of this has been very confusing for me and I just need some guidance, any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Blanchey 💬 • 📝 11:43, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Blanchey: The most straightforward way is outlined at: Help:Archiving (plain and simple). This also adds an archive box to the page. As for the header, you can just add {{Talk header}} to the top of your talk page. Pings only have effect if you sign your post in the same edit you use the template: see Template:Reply to.

Rollback
Hi Blanchey. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY 22:59, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
A kitten for you!
Congrats on getting rollbacker rights!

- @LordBossMaster100: yes, that is the user. I’m not reporting them as I don’t see much point since it probably won’t change anything, and since they recently expressed a desire to die, I would not like to do anything which could affect the user’s mental health. If other users do, then fine, but I’m not doing this anymore… Blanchey 💬 • 📝 16:42, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

- Now all the pressure is off, let me talk to you about a few ways to improve your editing.
- I’m aware that you are a mobile user. So am I, although the mobile site is not very good. Simply switch to desktop and you will be able to access the full site. I’ve told you about twinkle, which is an amazing tool in my opinion and you will also be able to reply to talk page messages in the correct way and even have an option to ping users so that they are notified when you message them. Also, do you have an email address linked to your account? Blanchey 💬 • 📝 18:10, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

- @LordBossMaster100 Brilliant, you will now be able to privately email users and admins, which you may find helpful, especially when reporting users. Also, how do you feel about starting a proper talk page archive like I have so everyone can see past messages? Blanchey 💬 • 📝 18:13, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Well, I haven’t really thought about it. But not much actually happens on my talkpage (Unless if it’s you or Zesty) but at some point maybe. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 18:14, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- @LordBossMaster100 Ok, also, to respond to talk page messages, make sure you put a : at the start to make sure it is in the correct format. Say if there have been five messages and you are responding, as you would be the 6th response, you would have to put :::::: . On the desktop site, it is done automatically. Blanchey 💬 • 📝 18:16, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

- Just a bystander here but if you two want to talk about personal matters about things going on in your lives, I recommend moving it to email. These conversations on User talk pages are public and anyone can read them and about your sockpuppet struggles. I think you should go to email to protect your own privacy and to not give a sockpuppet ammunition to use against you. User talk pages are really to talk about editing on Wikipedia which is not a social network. It's great that you support each other but I have learned a great deal about you two from your User pages which is really no one else's business. Just remember that these comments are all on the public record, for ANYONE to read at any time, now as well as in the future. You might chat about personal stuff on a more private platform. Thanks.

Sending good wishes
Hey, I hope you're okay. Please let me know if I can do anything at all DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 11:18, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- @DaniloDaysOfOurLives: hey, I am good thank you for asking! Thank you for your email, I didn’t respond on there because I am not sure if my email will be revealed as I’m a bit shy about revealing my real name although it shouldn’t because your email hasn’t shown up. As for the question you asked, of course you can help with Yasmeen’s article! I’m sorry I didn’t invite you originally like I did to other editors, you hadn’t responded to my previous messages so thought I’d wait for that but then I forgot! But yes, of course. I’d love your help! Kind regards, Blanchey 💬 • 📝 11:34, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Just one thing though, if you are going to write about storylines, make sure that they had some notability in the real world, like for example the Geoff storyline was very notable and high profile so there will be lots of articles, interviews etc which will be perfect for Wikipedia. Any smaller storylines should not be included since they are fictional which is not what Wikipedia is. I would also suggest writing about notable stories in the development section as most newer soap articles, like Meena Jutla and Chloe Harris don’t have a storylines section they are just put into development. 😊 Blanchey 💬 • 📝 13:00, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- It’s good to see you feeling grand. I’ll continue to keep a watch for anymore of them troublemakers just for you. LordBossMaster100 (talk) 14:22, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Archive
Hello, hope you're well after yesterday's drama! I just noticed your archive bot isn't working as you've not coded it correctly. Feel free to copy the archive template from my talk page as that automatically archives discussions after a week. – Meena • 08:42, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Meena: hey, I’m okay thanks! Thank you for letting me know, I will have a look Blanchey 💬 • 📝 09:22, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Meena: lol, I accidentally copied your username too although thankfully a bot has corrected it 😇 also, do you know why when I add the talk header to my page, it comes up with index in the archive section? Blanchey 💬 • 📝 10:16, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- I have my archives as part of my 'welcome to my talk page' banner; I personally prefer the sleek white banner to the mustard yellow box lol. – Meena • 10:20, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Meena: oh I see 😅 Blanchey 💬 • 📝 10:21, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Good morning, Meena I hope you are well. My talk page has now for the first time been archived! Although for some reason the messages did not archive to my first archive and went straight to a new one. Is this because I had been editing this one? I went through all my old messages (and even user warnings when I was new) to be held accountable and have got nothing to hide. The bot template says 200k although it seems to have stopped after 60k… Blanchey 💬 • 📝 08:21, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- That's odd, the template I use does whatever amount I put in it. I guess at least yours is now working. – Meena • 08:33, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Meena oh well, at least it works. Have a great day! Blanchey 💬 • 📝 09:25, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Tagging non-local images
I've undone this edit, because the image is not hosted locally on English Wikipedia, so our deletion processes (including WP:PROD) cannot be used. The image is at Commons, so you need to go to its description page at Commons and follow one of the procedures described at c:COM:D. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:40, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Redrose64, thank you for informing me. I will follow the steps. Have a good day, Blanchey (talk) 11:51, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
