Source?

Hi there, re: this edit at List of longest-running Australian television series is there any way you can support this data (and the data at Behind the News) with a reference? Numerical vandalism is prevalent, and the only way to combat it is with references. You changed it to X without a reference, someone can come by and change it to Y. The only things that makes Wikipedia worth anything, are references Also, if you have a connection to the subject, you should probably declare that per WP:COI, as you likely have a conflict of interest. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:37, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Yes, I am very much trying to do things the proper way to avoid these sorts of issues. I didn't put a reference because the reference for the 1968 date was already in the current reference that was there originally. If you read that article it explains that we discovered a new date. There's more to this though that would take a while to write out and explain and I have been putting the feelers out to see if there was a wikipedian out there that wouldn't mind helping us make the right steps to get the information we have onto Wikipedia. Would you be interested in helping? Maybe a brief phone call to explain where we're at? I could provide a phone number if you DM me on Twitter or Facebook.

With regards to COI, I am trying to avoid writing any large edits atm as I know I need to get someone else to do that for us. However, I did think the couple of changes I did on the BTN and longest-running TV shows page weren't particularly COI - but reading the COI link you provide I see that I need to make it clear each time. So I'll use the template {{connected contributor}} and add it to my page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielmee (talk • contribs) 00:00, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably add the COI declaration to your userpage as well since that's where it's likely to be noticed by anyone trying to figure out who you are and why you are editing a particular article. Template:Connected contributor should be added to the tops of the talk pages of any articles you're editing for which you have a COI. See WP:TPL for where it generally should be added. If you're being paid or compensated in any way for your edits (see WP:PAID), then you need to declare this on your user page. You should also add Template:Connected contributor (paid) to the talk pages of a relevant articles. A paid editor always has a COI, but a COI editor may not always be paid. Which applies to you might be something to be sorted out at WP:COIN, but I believe there's a general tendency to treat employees editing articles about their employer as paid editors, especially if they are doing on company time, even if they are not getting any extra compensation specifically to do such a thing.

Finally, please try and remember to sign your talk page posts. There a few different ways to do this, but the easiest is explained in WP:TILDE. Signing your posts lets others know who posted what and when they posted it. Signatures are also required to contain at least one link to either your userpage or your usertalk page, and such a link will be automatically added when you sigh things Wikipedia style. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:32, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Marchjuly:, I have added the paid COI banner to the BTN page and I added one to this page last night. I do try and remember the tilde each time I make an edit but it's just forgetten most times and I can't go back and correct that unless I delete the edit, redo it and put it in again.

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
