EastEnders edit

The article has GA status, and has fulfilled the criteria left on the talk page in order for it to be considered for FA status. Trampik e y ^{(talk to me)}^(contribs) 21:32, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: 1) Poor lead, not detailing much about the series at all; 2) The trivia section is the only part that is well referenced. I've not looked much further than that. There is some good content, but this isn't FA quality yet. violet/riga (t) 21:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not there yet. Lead too short, and seriously lacking in references. Sandy 02:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree about what has been said about the short lead. I also believe there are too many short, one sentence paragraphs. Some of those need to be extended to put together to form longer paragraphs.--NMajdan•talk 13:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I don't think it should have been given GA status. As Nmajdan says, there's lots of choppy writing in the form of one sentence paras. The lead is certainly too short, and worst of all there's a bullet-pointed trivia section. These should never appear in an encyclopaedia article - trivia is by definition unencyclopaedic. Even if that weren't the case, why bullet point it? Why not write it as normal prose? Worldtraveller 20:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Image:EastEnders CM.gif should not be in GIF. Is one picture enough? WP 09:24, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
