 * Hi. Regarding your edits to The Real World: London and The Real World, here are a few tips about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines:


 * All content needs to be supported by citations of reliable sources. Although there has admittedly been some unsourced content in the article for some time, most of it can be found in the episodes. I have nonetheless removed much of the material that seems to constitute personal opinion, or which is not explicitly depicted in the episodes. Should MTV make the episodes available on their website, I would use them to improve the article's adherence to Wikipedia policy, much as I did some time ago with The Real World: San Francisco article.
 * Sites with user-generated content like imdb cannot be used as sources under USERG. The Independent is the far more appropriate source, and even if you wished to add another to the passage, that does not justify removing a valid one already present.
 * The firstflight page you linked to in the London article makes no mention of the material that cites that source.
 * In general, autobiographical edits are strictly discouraged. If you feel that any material in the article is inaccurate, defamatory, libelous, or could use improvement, it is far preferable that you speak to editors involved in that article, rather than fix it yourself, since the latter would constitute a Conflict of Interest. You can always contact me if you like, by leaving a message at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 17:28, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
