About Flashpoint episode list
I removed the episode summaries that you added to List of Flashpoint episodes earlier today as they are exactly what the CBS press releases have. Using press releases, or anything else, as the source of episode summaries is considered copyright violations, even if you include a reference for the summary. Episode summaries are one of those few things on Wikipedia where it is not only ok but expected that you write it yourself and not include a reference. Future episodes may/can should have the title and air date referenced until the episode has been broadcast. I left in the episode "Collateral Damage" as it is listed on ctv.ca and the summary is not a word-for-word copy from ctv.ca. Ratings for episodes should be referenced. In the case of Flashpoint ratings for Canada there are no references for the ratings of the early episodes as the ratings company removed the information from its online archive. That is more of an exception than the rule to leave those without references as they were formerly covered by a general reference that is now a dead link.

If you have any questions feel free to ask myself. I frequently edit in the television corner of Wikipedia and if i don't know i can usually direct you to someone more familiar with whatever you might query. delirious &amp;  lost  ☯ ~hugs~ 16:29, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
