Template talk:Editnotices/Page/Border Security: Australia's Front Line

In much the same vein as my recent approved request for the article Beach Cops here, I would request a similar or identical warning for this article. An unregistered IP user has made a few recent edits, adding episode synopsis that is almost certainly copyrighted and ripped word for word from the network's description of the episode without their permission. More worringly, he/she does not provide any source to their episode synopsis. If the notice could specifically highlight that all additions to Wikipedia must have a reliable source that would be helpful. I'm hoping a prominent edit notice may alert them to follow Wikipedia policies regarding references and copyright violations. Thanks for your consideration, User:Whats new?(talk) 04:26, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Done – I set the expiry to "indefinite". Would you prefer the notice to expire after a time like the one at Beach Cops? Paine  07:30, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also made an edit notice for The Force: Behind the Line. Paine  07:51, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Paine Ellsworth: Thanks for both of those. I don't think an expiry date is needed, as both the latter programs are long running and have been renewed for future seasons. I didn't request the Beach Cops expiry, but I think it was given because it is a new show and may not proceed beyond its current season (although it premiered to strong ratings last night so its more likely now to be renewed). I can make a request through the appropriate page, but Highway Patrol (Australian TV series) is another article that suffers the same problem (it's off air at the moment but has been renewed for 2016), so if you wouldn't mind the same template there if you also think it appropriate. Thanks again, User:Whats new?(talk) 09:09, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
