Hi I'm just wondering with regards to discussion further up on a ratings table what the criteria for 'sourcing' of ratings averages would be. I see a user at Corriepedia has managed to source the entire ratings history from various contemporary publications; however many of these are not available online or available without education institution linked subscription. This makes the episode by episode viewing figures on their site the only online source of this data, I assume this data-set wouldn't meet the threshold for use towards a table on Wikipedia, despite the overall sources being explained on their site. If it did I'd be happy to start putting such a ratings table together over the next few weeks or so, by collating the data but wouldn't want to do so if it can't be used without direct sourcing of the magazines, which is frankly impossible at present.

I'm just wondering if it would be a good idea to add more information about this storyline? At the moment, the only details are that we saw the conclusion of it in the anniversary week. It was one of the most controversial and despised storylines, so I think it might be worth noting A) Geoff died and B) how the dramatic showdown fit within social distancing guidelines?

@ SFVP: I agree. However, please remember to discuss the storyline from a neutral point of view (NPOV) Bry lin997 ( talk) 18:24, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
The Storylines section in this article seems a little strange. It's just a long list of topics / keywords, which I've never really seen on other articles. Seems like it would be better to replace this with the first summary paragraph, or a rewrite of that, from the Storylines of Coronation Street article. I wasn't sure if this was appropriate so I wanted to post here. Jmbld ( talk) 19:23, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Since Corrie used to be a 6x half-hourly soap, we used to count hour-long episodes as 2 episodes. However, in March, ITV stated from then onwards the show would transmit 3x hour-long episodes. So are we now counting an hour-long episode as one episode in regards to updating the infobox? This would make sense to me, since the producers are now considering an hour-long episode whilst writing/filming the ep rather than having the mindset of two half-hourly eps. Thoughts? – DarkGlow • 10:51, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

In the "Popular Culture" bit, it has a news article about CS being in an April Fools Prank. This has been removed as its called "befitting", but it is not as it actually part of the "popular culture" – it is not randomly in there. It shows how the soap is well known and part of popular culture. However, some authors want it removed. What is everyone's thoughts on this? DaniloDaysOfOurLives ( talk) 11:35, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Jeremy Corbyn tried to set up a last minute rebuttal on tonight’s Coronation Street but locals there are still in mourning over the knicker factory tragedy last month.
By the way, I have restored the revision as this is a big sourced piece of text and thus it shouldn't be removed without consensus DaniloDaysOfOurLives ( talk) 11:43, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
@ User:Meena, @ User:Blanchey, @ User:JuneGloom07 and @ User:Raintheone – what are your thoughts? DaniloDaysOfOurLives ( talk) 00:48, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Theme Tune: what a derge
Might not the section on Music be adjusted to mention that - as well as the same boring derge it always was - the theme tune has now become hopelessly dated? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.161 ( talk) 17:31, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
The information in this article on major changes to the production in terms of the number of characters being included at any given time being cut to save costs as well as updated viewing figures should be worked into the article "Coronation Street stars in panic as their hours are cut by ITV bosses to save cash". Wellington Bay ( talk) 15:16, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
ITV2 has confirmed that Coronation Street will finally be coming to an end due to those boring storylines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.187.197 ( talk) 18:46, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
