Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Service Information has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1gg6t1ahea, http://www.youtube.com/index?ytsession=S6JlsO4ly4q6Eh9sUPd9ufhi_eEL2YJHO58lMYPCMCLyTcWdIQq7QJYZZMp-StVJ_lGf4FAQThdmUeqY_79_tSdIzcUCl-Ss4ZZBHtv16yYlbY-Lm-HyDNk8JnA6PkiURlzpSRpCG_3aD-FCvZyzq2KT3x4gjCnJPge9wk-U6NO4U1RUETdrvuvBrwLlwFFz8OIzBSLQg0IGPrYoyfWf5s5zSb_8-lMMMFyIaRNso-nmAoUov0E7CVvXFJwd9-C7CsIq-aSxSF6M4SNiGbPh4EC3sqEofDkQWI21vyA0hA571W-tHjOzDfrZFnkcO9G5DrArGcP55eOkJNtXFBILR-IFWxDhgPJxqBsyk15ZJO0yFsnbEbrBQ8HUGOtCg_sJo388JXus5G_64ORi9_esSPMa_DpsqkL1LNGFRK2QrTX-1RC1u2hkGzKzr_wt1iCr (redirect from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1gg6t1ahea)). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Trade Test Colour Films
You've added a section to this article with a typical schedule. While I think this section could be a good illustration of a broadcast day dominated by the trade test films, can you come up with a formal reference for it? If you're unfamiliar with the consensus about references, see: Verifiability. Cheers, Easchiff (talk) 06:02, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I almost removed that section because in response to the request above you identified it as original research, a no-no at Wikipedia. But the information is so relevant and interesting that I left it, removed your statement that it is original research, and reformatted it for readability. While your statement that "[your] own daily records [were] verified at the BBC Written Archive Centre" is a step in the right direction (the BBC Archives would indeed be considered a reliable source of information), the reference to the archive should be more specific. You did come up with a good source; now you just need to make it verifiable.

From Citing_sources:

Since your information is not about living persons or likely to be plagiarism, the relevant points in that list are the first two and the last two; but the most important is the first point: any reader should be able to check the source him- or herself. Saying simply "the BBC Written Archive Centre," even if that reference were properly formatted, does not give anyone enough information to duplicate your research. You should specify exactly which document(s) in the archive you consulted and which gave the claimed verification of your own records, so that anyone else would be able to find exactly the same document(s). If there is an online BBC document you could cite (this is the first time I'd even heard of the BBC Archives, so I have no idea myself), that would be even better.

So thanks for at least providing a reliable source for the interesting schedule you added; now you just need to make the reference more usable for other readers.--Jim10701 (talk) 23:25, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A Question of Sport, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Stuart Hall (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
