Screening of soap operas in Australia

Hello, I'm AusSoaps. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Screening of soap operas in Australia, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

I know the information is true but one of Wikipedia's guidelines is that any unsourced material found needs to be removed. You can use some episodes from Network Ten as citations. If you need help creating citations, see Template:Cite episode. AusSoaps (talk) 23:29, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is an example of what a citation for an episode looks like:

<ref>{{cite episode |title=Episode 1,234 |series=[[The Bold and the Beautiful]] |network=[[Network Ten]] |airdate=January 13, 1999}}</ref>

Do you know any episodes Network Ten have aired that support what is said in the paragraph? If so, then we can use those episodes as citations in the article. No, I don't watch Bold. I'm more of a Days of Our Lives fan. AusSoaps (talk) 22:11, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When you add the paragraph back in the article, copy and paste the citation example above and put it beside each sentence in the paragraph (that's how editors will know the information is sourced). Make sure the citation has the correct episode title/number and airdate on Network Ten. Since the timing edits started on 23 February 2012, you can use that airdate in the citation. Hope this helps. Yes, I'm so happy Days is back on TV. :) AusSoaps (talk) 23:49, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I fixed a few things. Just remember that citations go after full stops. Feel free to add more citations with different episodes that support what is said in the paragraph. AusSoaps (talk) 23:31, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Diving somewhat late into this conversation -- unfortunately this isn't a reasonable use of sourcing. To include the material about the cuts, Wikipedia requires specific discussions of those cuts, from reliable sources. Your own conversations with Network Ten unfortunately don't meet that requirement, and merely pointing to an episode number isn't sufficient justification for the detailed analysis of how it was cut that followed. Possible sources for that kind of information would be soap opera magazines, newspapers or TV web sites -- if we can find those, the information can be restored.
