Hi Rocksey. I work for the production company. Mr. Bierdz is back to play PCIII. I can't give too much away regarding the developing storyline but it will be revealed shortly that Thom Bierdz will assume his old role. Some history will be re-written. These items should appear in the mainstream press later this week. Watch for a few more "blasts from the past" to re-join the show in the coming months.

I reported it under the title

Hey, thanks for your adds to the article ... by chance do your Soaps in Depth mags have anything on the actor Nathan Parsons himself? That article is also up for deletion ... Thanks again! — TAnthony^Talk 08:48, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, some of the articles have information on Parsons. I'm not sure what's important for an actor article so here are the scans [1], [2], and [3]. I'm still looking for sources for the Lovett article. I might have enough for a little bit of a reception section. Rocksey (talk) 20:15, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any objection to a new image for the article. Why do you have a problem with the image of Greenlee Smythe? Rocksey (talk) 04:13, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Too cutesy, like I stated above, LOL. Another editor felt the same way about it, as seen in

my #3 archive about that image

.

As for the Chloe image, I felt you would not necessarily object to the idea of a new image...but may object to a particular image (as in however the image looks, of course). If you do not like any new main image I upload for Chloe, I am just saying let me know; I would definitely be okay with compromising. That goes for any television-related article we have both been involved in.

The article has been removed from the deletion debate upon request, but it is probably best that we start fixing up that article really soon. There are other articles I have been focused on lately, and I know the same goes for you, but this article needs our focus more.

I agree. We really need to get on this. I've gathered a good deal of information on the creation and writing of the couple, so I can start on that and hopefully have something written up in a day or so. Rocksey (talk) 18:26, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good. I will pitch in when I get a good chance to. Right now, I am about to add more to the Supercouple article article, and tweak it some more, before someone tries again to take that article down (no matter the plenty of reliable sources in it backing things up).

talk) 19:02, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply

Okay, I have started on the article. It is tricky to add to the Writing section without knowing what you are typing up/going to add to it, so I only started that off with a little bit. The Cultural impact section has more. I will let you focus on the Writing section for now, and I will add to it after seeing your additions. In the meantime, I may focus more on the Cultural impact section. When AniMate gets back from his vacation, I plan to ask him if he would not mind cutting down on the article's plot; he is most definitely good at trimming plot sections. We would have three different editors focusing on three different parts of the article, which is good and may make this process go faster.

It looks great! I'm sorry I'm taking so long in getting my stuff together. I'll definitely have it up tonight. I'm thinking the rape will need it's own subsection inside of Writing. Rocksey (talk) 19:55, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I should be the one apologizing for having taken so long to fix up this article after having been the one to ask you to collaborate on it with me and when you were ready months ago.

talk) 23:04, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply

Good work on the Writing section, as expected, even though I know you have a lot more to add to it (if you are planning on having a subsection about the rape, as you indicated above). I, of course, have a lot more to add to the Cultural impact section. I went ahead and asked AniMate about trimming the plot section, since he is currently editing Wikipedia a little bit while on vacation.

talk) 00:50, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply

Thanks! I'm still going back and forth on how to format it all. There is information on the rape which could go in the writing and some that could go in the reception, so I'm not sure if they should all go in the same place or if I should split it up between the writing and the reception. I also wish I could find more on the times General Hospital revisited the rape with first Lucky and then Lulu. Rocksey (talk) 04:36, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that some of it is about the reception of the rape, I would say they should definitely be split up. You certainly would not be in my way in the Cultural impact section, of course. We are working on all this together; it is just that, individually, we are currently focusing more on different parts of the article.

Hey Rocksey, I agree with you, I was just shocked that all of them were gone. But anyway, most of the articles for Bold and the Beautiful were strictly plot, and most of the plot overviews did not need to be included. Hopefully in the future, some of these characters can get articles with more expansion that just the plot. Thanks. 98.104.165.68 (talk) 01:12, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

thanks and how am i doing on this article? im trying to get it to ga once it hits the mainstay you know any amc experts? that can help me write the article? BigPadresDude 01:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I finally got a chance to really look over the article and it has a lot of issues with grammer and the lack of sources. Also, most of the casting section looks like it's just copied from the Background and Castings sections in the Erica Kane article. It's redundant to have basically just the exact same thing in both articles. It's probably fine to mention it a little, but not just to copy and reword what's in the other article. With sources, you don't just paste a link in and call it a source. Here's some info to read up on with sourcing: Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Citation templates.

Also, articles have to be about notable subjects. Do you think you can establish notability with this couple article that would meet the Wikipedia:Notability guidelines? If not, it might be best just to elaborate more about this pairing in either the Erica Kane article or the Jackson Montgomery one.

On a side note, what are your plans at improving the Brooke Logan article?Rocksey (talk) 18:40, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Colleen Carlton

I saw that you changed the tense back stating that the character is still fictional which is obvious and it's really not a big deal, but my question is shouldn't it be in the past tense since the character no longer exist anymore even in the fictional world. Several of the profiles I've encountered of past characters on different soap operas write them in the past tense because the character is no longer on the scene so I thought that was the way it's supposed to be done. I mean it only makes sense to me but like I said no big deal I was just wondering the reasoning behind putting the profile back in present tense when the character no longer exists in the present on the show. Just thought I'd ask before changing anything again.Sparrowhawk7 (talk) 03:22, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I should have given a clearer explanation for why I made the change. I switched the line back to "Colleen Carlton is a fictional character from the American soap opera The Young and the Restless" because even if a character dies within the story and stops appearing on the series, they are still a part of that series. Colleen Carlton is still a character from this soap opera. This is done with other articles as well. For instance, the article for the Star Wars character Padmé Amidala still begins similarly because, despite the characters death, she is still a part of that series. It's the same for the Gone With the Wind character Melanie Hamilton and the Desperate Housewives character Edie Britt. Rocksey (talk) 06:22, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks for the information, it's just that in my experience with several of the General Hospital characters, once the characters no longer exists in the present on the show, their profile is changed to was and it is like that on almost every single past characters page. If you look at this page

List of General Hospital miscellaneous characters you will come across several deceased characters whose profile begins with 'was' because they are no longer a part of the series present show, so that was mainly what made it confusing for me. I understand them still being a part of the series but they are a part of the series' past, and not the present. I don't know it just seems weird to me, but I can see how it would be correct. So thanks for the information and I will leave it as it is. Sparrowhawk7 (talk) 04:37, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply

Abby Carlton/Newman

However, of course all of the sources concerning Hayley Erin will be Carlton because that was the character's name during her stint. Marcy Rylan was specifically credited as Abby Newman in the closing credits of Wednesday's episode, and I am attempting to find a verifiable source for it. Candyo32 (talk) 00:07, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• The media with Marcy Rylan also points to the name Abby Carlton. I'll add a few more sources in a minute. Even though the series is changing the character's name, the common name, or name that the character is most recognizable as, is Abby Carlton. That may change in the future, but we don't know that.

Brenda Dickson

Your best bet is going to be the library. Unfortunately, alot of the press from back then hasn't made it onto the internet, and what has is usually hidden in a pay archived site. Good old fashioned microfiche is probably your best bet. There was an E! True Hollywood special on Y&R that had some information as well. Google News archive is usually a great starting point to figure out what articles you need, and if they're not available on line, you can know exactly what you need at the library.

Hey Flyer. Yes, I was serious. Those "articles" don't meet the standards for notability. As they are, they're just plot, like way too many of the articles in this project. Rocksey (talk) 06:58, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We aren't supposed to judge whether or not a topic is notable based on the current state of its article. That is the mistake the nominator is making and has gotten criticized for. We are supposed to judge these topics on whether or not reliable third-party sources can be provided to establish notability for them. And from what I have seen, there can be, at least for Brooke English. The administrator who closed the AfD also saw some notability for Brooke English. On further examination, it seems the Google Books sources mentioning Myrtle Fargate are just mentions. Single lines mentioning her name. I'd have to read through those books to see if they actually discuss the character in detail.
