past tense apologies in advance for any typos bad keyboard and limited time also i'll try to put across a coherent argument without letting emotions get in the way but i am really angry about this for reasons i'll explain later it is incorrect english to say that events happening over a year span all happened at once i e in the present for example to say that eastenders begins is incorrect eastenders began in the article as it is at the moment in present tense reads like eastenders is a film with a set end which we know it is not it keeps running it is my strong belief that events that happened in the past in something that runs in real time should also be written in real time i e past tense for things that hapened in the past an argument that i have seen all three editors above use at different times one of the reasons i am angry about this is that certain editors seem to have such a disregard for our language and the way it should be written that they are willing to forget all about grammar and write this article which in my opinion and as stated by gungadin elsewhere is harder to read than it was before in past tense just to get this article to fa status how glory seeking is that don't get me wrong it'd be great for this article to get to fa status but to totally forget about good grammar just because the policy pushers may i add that wp tense is a guideline not a policy say that it needs to be in present tense juts takes the biscuit wp tense was obviously decided without taking into account real time series something myself and elonka have raised on various talk pages to try and change this but as soon as i have gone away it seems everyone has changed their minds and are happy to have this article written in bad hard to read english just to get it to fa status i say we should have it in readable tense past and screw tha fa status if the voters can't see this is better in past tense at least we all know it is deserving of fa status anyway and readable '''''' contribs
