You keep deleting useful info re which series the main cast members joined and left Where the Heart is. I am watching repeats on a weekly basis and this info would enhance my viewing. Martin 2A02:C7F:563D:5100:B42F:A65C:B84A:4B90 (talk) 14:36, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I keep removing unsourced information/original research. If the information would enhance your viewing you are free to find sources for debut and departure dates and re-add them. I think it will be extremely difficult to source all of them.Rain the 1 18:35, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Diane O'Connor.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:30, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Rain, hope you're well – I was wondering if you had any sources offline (or online but I've scoured the web and can't find anything) that cover the nominations for the British Soap Awards for 2000–2003? I'm looking to add them to the main article and potentially expand articles on individual awards (eg villain of the year, potentially dramatic performances, partnerships and comedy) but am just coming to a loss with finding the other noms. – DarkGlow • 23:07, 22 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sorry for the late reply. I originally read this incorrectly and thought you wanted the Inside Soap Awards. I am not sure if I can find the British Soap Awards for you using old magazines, they seemed to just cover winners. I will look through other magazines. I can use the British News Paper Archive to piece together some of the nominations. This source [1] states that at the BSA 2003, Shane Ritchie was nominated for "Sexiest Male", "Best Comedy Moment" and "Best Newcomer". Jessie Wallace and Kacey Ainsworth were nominated for "Best Actress", which it confirms Ainsworth won. Dean Sullivan won his award. Brian Capron won "Villain of the Year", "Best Exit", "Best Storyline", "Best Actor".Rain the 1 22:52, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, raintheone. I hope you are doing well. I am aware that you are quite experienced with uploading images for Wikipedia articles and I was wondering and hoping that you would be willing to upload one for me for an article. Thank you. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 23:36, 12 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deleting information and then starting a discussion seems like the wrong way round to me. If you're willing to leave some unsourced information because, as you put it, it would cause issues, then why not leave all of it? I notice there's another comment on here from someone who found the information useful and was wondering why you deleted it. I'll discuss this further under the discussion you mentioned.

Hello, Raintheone, I hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you would please be able to find an image for Harlow Robinson? I would do it myself (and sorry if this request seems rude or lazy), but I still have not really wrapped my head around the whole images system! I am trying to learn, but have not quite gotten there yet. I hope you are having a good day. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 08:35, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done. Not rude or lazy, most editors seem to ask me so.. Basic low-res screenshots taken from episodes are less likely to be deleted. So in line with the rest of Neighbours articles, I have opted for that. I see you worked on the article offline? I have started creating an article for Nicolette offline too.Rain the 1 19:50, 15 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I mainly just used User:Therealscorp1an/Harlow and worked on the article over the course of a few days. I think an article for Nicolette would be good, since there are an array a lot of things to talk about, especially the baby storyline (if you need sources for that, there may be some in the Robinson family#2020s section). Anyways, thank you very much for uploading the image for me. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 21:16, 15 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello again. I was wondering if you have a picture of Levi Canning and Wendy Rodwell? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 05:32, 8 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Therealscorp1an: - I added the picture of Levi to his infobox. As for Wendy - Is it a good idea to create an article about her? She is quite popular and Leask definitely helped elevate Wendy's popularity with fan interaction on Twitter. Had the show continued it would be a different story no doubt.Rain the 1 21:34, 12 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Personally, I think an article for her is good, although there may not be enough storylines and 'behind-the-scenes' information, if you know what I mean. I was thinking for the meantime we could just add a photo of the character to her infobox on the 2021 article and in the future (or now if you want!) we could work on an article for her. I have actually been working on improving my skills when it comes to uploading files, such as for this article, but it's definitely been a bit difficult! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 21:44, 12 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

We cannot add non-free images to lists as it is an easy fail of the guidelines. Adding non-free images to lists of characters is frowned upon and an easy target for deletion since the article is about a collective of characters and does not illustrate the entire subjects. The image you have uploaded to the article you created about the Cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helene will unfortunately be deleted. It is already tagged for deletion. As this church can easily be photographed in real life, a non-free image is not suitable. You should photograph it yourself and upload it.Rain the 1 22:02, 12 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thought so, got it. Also, I did not know about that when adding images to the list of character articles. Thank you for clarifying. In that case, I think an article would be suitable for Wendy. I am working on a few projects at the moment, but maybe in the near future it can be worked on. If we were to write an article for her, what do you think the major subheadings in the development section should be? Anyways, thank you so much for all your help. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 22:13, 12 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I do not think there would be any subheadings since she has had no big stories. Creating an article for Wendy will only create problems for the wider Neighbours project.Rain the 1 21:05, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't know, I may write a draft up and see how much information I can get. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 00:31, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I have been asking a few other editors this too; do you know of any ways to access past television ratings (specifically 2015 ratings) for Australia and even the UK? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:02, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Editors get UK ratings from BARB. Digital Spy and others used to do daily ratings updates but those are long gone.Rain the 1 16:54, 26 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Okay, thank you so much. I am specifically trying to find March 2015 ratings for Neighbours, do you know where I may find them within BARB? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 20:25, 26 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It seems we are too late. The general public appear to only be able to search back five years in BARB. I am not sure other than the off chance the media reported on the ratings? Did you notice that someone used a curation tool on the Wendy article. I guessed this could happen. :(Rain the 1 18:12, 27 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dammit, I guess I am going to have limited ratings information then. Also, yes, I did see the notability tag on Wendy. I don't know what to think about it because the information is definately there, it's much more developed than other articles too, so I don't know. Thanks for the help, though. Now to try and access old TV Week magazine pieces... - Therealscorp1an (talk) 21:08, 27 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Therealscorp1an:They are probably incomplete articles that can be expanded or from a time we cannot easily access information from. Perhaps you could consider making the information more concise and adding Wendy to the list? Something to think about? In more positive news, I solved it, take a look at this:

Hey, @Raintheone, how are you? I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year's. Nice work on the Nicolette Stone article! I was wondering if this would be possible to upload as an image file: I have been working away at the Death and funeral of Constantine II of Greece article and I am hoping to spruce it up by adding some images to it and I stumbled upon an Instagram account that posted a photo of many European monarchs seated together at the funeral. This account is not the owner of this photo, though, and I was wondering if it is possible for one to upload this photo to the Wikimedia Commons for use? Thanks. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:50, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Therealscorp1an Hey. You can only upload a photograph if you took the photograph and want to upload it. Or if not, the original owner gives permission to release it under the correct licence so it can be added to commons. Rain the 1 10:08, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

And how would you be able to gain permission (and even prove it)? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 10:11, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Therealscorp1an if the owner had a Flickr account they can change the license and you can use a tool to upload it. Or you can ask them to release it to commons via a ticket request VRT/OTRS team can review. Search Commons:Volunteer Response Team on Wikimedia Commons to learn more. We used to explain, ask and beg people on Flickr and did gain numerous cast photos for soaps as it was easier. Rain the 1 10:30, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Alright, thank you so much for your help. I might try contacting a few people who have helped me work on the article to see if they have any images. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 10:33, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, Raintheone. After countless discussions, it seems I have been led back to you. You stated before that "We used to explain, ask and beg people on Flickr and did gain numerous cast photos for soaps", so I am presuming that you have a Flickr account? If this is the case, I was wondering if you would able to do quite a large favour for me. I have found Flickr images of what I have been looking for, but they are all licensed under "All rights reserved". Would you please be able to try and ask the owner to downgrade the rights of the images (if he says no to all of them, then specifically just at least this one or this one, despite how great the material like this and this is)? I wouldn't be able to express my gratitude if you did. Thank you in advance. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 23:07, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Therealscorp1an I haven't used Flickr for years and couldn't recover my account last time I tried a few years back. So won't be able to help with that. Sorry. Rain the 1 23:41, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Maybe you could try and learn? Those are from a journalist and freelance photographer who is probably looking to get paid for his work. Though sometimes people help out and donate. We once contacted an Australian photographer and she gave hundreds of free photos of famous people she had encountered from press events. If you don't ask, you don't get!Rain the 1 22:23, 29 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm just not too sure about creating a Flickr account and getting involved in something I'd probably use once. Also, it's my first time and I think if I stuff this up, there's really no other chance to get images for the article! Not only that, but it seems I'd have to use my real life details to sign up, if that's right? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 22:29, 29 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I pinged you on the WP:SOAPS talk page about this so sorry to double on the message but I want to get as many on-board for this as it's ambitious, even for me. Due to the recent surge in scrutiny on soap articles, we all need to come together and improve soap articles, so I've created an improvement drive with dates and articles for the soap WikiProject to focus on improving articles each week. Right now, it's focused on Hollyoaks, but the plan is to keep it going until we get to each soap. I did not include a section to sign up as I didn't want editors to feel that they are signing their life away and are expected to edit the articles mercilessly. I hope for some level of dedication but it's not a drive with huge pressure. Are you interested in joining in? – Meena • 11:42, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. As you know I did a partial revert of your own revert. Here is my rationale: HighBeam was basically an archive of regularly published material. When they pulled the plug on Highbeam, they took all of those archives and made them useless. (As you know, the same thing occurred with Questia.) So, unless the waybackers made archives of the HighBeam urls, we (as editors and readers) basically had nothing to use for Verification. Unfortunately, many of the wayback archive urls are useless. Some only give a partial repeat of the story title, some give a story title and a bit of author, journal, date info. Some give partial renditions of the original sources. With all this in mind, I think WP:Verification is fulfilled when we can point to the original-original source. That's all we need. In the particular case which I re-reverted the archive of the HighBeam archive only had two sentences from the original source. Those sentences did not Verify any original material. I hope all the verbage explains what I've been trying to do overall. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 16:24, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for explaining that to me. I understand completely. I only added it back because there were archived links in place. Like you state, the archive bot was not successful in crawling the Highbeam articles entirely and the resource is now defunct. I still view the loss of Highbeam as a terrible shame, especially since editors worked so hard extracting information from it, only to have the whole website removed and make verifiability so difficult.Rain the 1 18:07, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

In the development section, I'm trying to include a section about her sister, Krista, but I'm struggling to find sources.
