[edit] "Slogans used"
Hi Kecske! Making a judgment from the IP range, this user has done this to almost every ITV article. The editing is hamfisted, leading to damage to the rest of the article, as you saw. But I'm pretty sure it's well-intentioned if misguided.
On the WWN talk page, there seems to be a consensus to remove these entries on ITV articles. I fear I'm ultimately responsible, having added such sections to companies that used notable on-air slogans about 18 months ago. This bit of editing has clearly come back to haunt me (this is Wikipedia, where no good deed goes unpunished). I don't think authority announcements are particularly the stuff of an encyclopedia, as they lack context without the back-up of a site like Transdiffusion to make clear what they're about, so we can afford to lose them.
The user is on a dynamic IP address, so it's hard to try to reason with them. Nevertheless, you did right in reverting the entry and the damage and eventually we'll turn our collective might on removing the entries from other articles too.
