==Use of schedule in (insert name here)==

Hi there

I noticed that you added a schedule to the [[(insert name here)]] article in [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|good faith]]. Sadly I had to revert [this edit] you made for the following reasons:

* According to [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]] policy, Wikipedia is not a [[Electronic program guide|Electronic Program(me) Guide]], TV or Radio Guide.

* Schedules can constitute [[original research]] and therefore fail [[Wikipedia:No original research|no original research]] policy.

* If you have taken a schedule from a website, they are copyrighted and the schedule could be in violation of [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright policy]].

Apologies for reverting your changes. Please refrain from adding current schedules to articles in the future. Thank you. ~~~~

For use on a user talk page if a schedule is added to an article (with the exception of the BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1, ITV regions, GMTV or Channel 4 articles, see below):
