Can somebody please remove Pastor Clayton from this list and put him in the past characters section? He is now listed as a past character on his page and his last onscreen appearance was back in June. Thanks. 150.143.113.155 (talk) 21:16, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. MadGuy7023 (talk) 21:35, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Nigel Bates returning to EastEnders - https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32176065/eastenders-queen-vic-pub-explosion/ Marwood123 (talk) 20:41, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much, but The Sun is not reliable (see WP:THESUN) and is not allowed, and I could not find another source to confirm this. If/when another source comes available and confirms the return (not just speculation) then I will add it :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:58, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

"(year)–present" notation
[edit]While "since (year)" is suggested in MOS:DATED, this appears to apply more to prose and not to tables. Almost universally across Wikipedia, tables use the "(year)–present" style. I am hard pressed to think of an example, outside of this article and a few close to it, that does not use this notation. Is there a strong reason to be inconsistent here? —C.Fred (talk) 18:15, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- It seems as if the 'consensus' reached at Talk:Penny Branning comprises just two editors' contributions, and has done nothing more than pave the way for a series of reverts and edit wars. It is clear to me that this '"since [year]" at all costs' decision does not suit everyone, hence this new thread. I invite @GuyFromEE and @TheRowdyruffBoys to wade into the debate here. ZeroAlpha87 (talk) 18:56, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- It seems only @EeFamilytree is the one routinely, stubbornly refusing to comply with the consistent agreed presentation style despite multiple contributors attempts to correct and revise this. GuyFromEE (talk) 22:22, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- There isn’t.
- Only one user @EEFamilytree is being insistent on using and creating this inconsistency. GuyFromEE (talk) 22:23, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Having read the entries on Talk:Penny Branning, that user appears to have taken his/her cue from another, livelikemusic, who, according to his/her userpage, contributes to US-based soap opera pages. Maybe the 'since [year]' is common over there, in much the same way that American English stipulates '[month] [date], [year]' over British English's '[date] [month] [year]' format. I see no reason for 'since [year]' to dominate anywhere, really, and wonder whether those that insist that it should be used no matter what are prepared to go through every relevant article with a fine-tooth comb to ensure compliance. I doubt it. What's more, the fifth pillar of Wikipedia is quite clear: 'Wikipedia has no firm rules', which I interpret to mean that Wikipedia:Manual of Style and its offshoots are not written in stone.

- @LiveLikeMusic needs informing then that british soap opera characters and their wikipedia articles are not formatted the same as US soap opera characters.
- It's not classed as vandalism by the rules of wikipedia but I'm hard pressed to find another word to describe what's going on here. Two contributors are now adding "Since year" to random UK soap opera characters on their own whim. GuyFromEE (talk) 09:19, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
