==Use of schedule in (insert name here)==

Hi there

I noticed that you added a schedule to the [[(insert name here)]] article. Sadly I had to revert the edit you made for the following reasons:

* According to [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]] policy under section 1.7.3. Wikipedia is not a TV/Radio Guide.

* Schedules can consitute [[original research]] and therefore fail [[Wikipedia:Attribution|attribution]] policy.

* If you have taken a schedule from a website, they are copyrighted and the schedule could be in violation of [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright policy]].

Apologies for reverting your changes. Please refrain from adding schedules to articles in the future. Thank you. --~~~~

For use on a user talk page if a schedule is added to an article (with the exception of the BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1, ITV regions, GMTV or Channel 4 articles, see below):
