Add sources when adding finds to the "Availability" section.
Something that I'm surprised this wiki doesn't have is sources proving where a logo appeared where, whether it be a YouTube video, a forum saying that someone remembers seeing the logo somewhere. I know "please cite your sources" is a rule on this wiki, but that primarily focuses on people composing jingles. "Please source your captures" is another rule on here, but mainly goes to adding images. I know we do have a videos section where users can also add logo captures to pages, but again, a lot of these are just regular captures that usually aren't listed on the availability section.
What I'm suggesting is pretty basic, from now on, whenever someone adds a new availability section to the list, they have to end it off with a link proving the logo appeared where, like this (for the 2nd CBS Broadcast International logo for example):
- It appeared on a later printing of the 1971 TV movie Goodbye, Raggedy Ann. [1]
Because of this, we'll need to put this at the end of each page:
=== References === (without the spaces)
For finds that have been added prior to this change, I suggest either add them with a "citation needed" notice, or remove them until proof that they exist (only if they sound ridiculously fake) until an official source for them has been found. If this change goes through, more people will be exposed to logo captures, as people like me occasionally like to binge them, heh, and we'll be able to tell more on whether or not a capture added to the list is authentic or not.
