Episode summaries
I noticed you re-added episode summaries to List of Chase episodes. Episode summaries are to be written in your own words, not copied from a press release, IMDb, official website, fan website, etc. Those summaries are from tv.com, which in turn are merely abbreviated versions of the press release summaries. Episode summaries are one of the few things on Wikipedia that are to be written entirely in your own words. If you happpen to be the person who writes the press releases for NBC about Chase then the copyright would belong to NBC as it is a work product, thus they still could not be used here. If you want to write summaries for Chase that would be wonderful, just make sure you follow the rule as laid out in copyright violations. I wrote summaries for two of the episodes just to give you an idea of how they still convey the story told in the episode but are not necessarily based on a press release description. This would also apply to all other tv shows' articles. If you have any questions, my talk page can be found by clicking the "~hugs~" in my signature.

not so Fairly Legal episode summaries ;)
Your additions ( and ) to List of Fairly Legal episodes have been removed, as they fairly illegally added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. The notes from myself and Logical Fuzz above explain what can and can not be used in writing episode summaries. The ones you added on 27 January 2011 are found on tv.com as well as many download sites for tvrips of the show. As you added the summaries 7 days after the premiere those sites offering tvrips the night of the premiere didn't get the summary from your subsequent contribution to Wikipedia. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. delirious &amp;  lost  ☯ ~hugs~ 07:40, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
