I have recently found on-line via both the Internet Archive from the Library of Congress and a website entitled American Radio History via a magazine that was in use for quite some years, Radio Mirror, and some more information for the story lines for The Guiding Light from the radio years, including the years 1937 to 1949. Much of what is written is from Irna Phillips herself, in a novel format, and it looks as though the story line information from 1937 to the end of 1940 is fairly well intact (it becomes bit spotty afterwards, but I can find some more information other places.) I won't mind quoting the resources and some of these resources would also help in clarifying some backstage comings and goings and issues during that time period. Including the fact NBC cancelled the series twice (the third time brought back by CBS), change in sponsorship, and then back, and for a time part of The General Mills Hour, where stories got interwoven by Phillips with stories and characters on her other two serials Today's Children and Woman in White. So, I am wondering if people would be interested in me, starting with this time period, and hopefully moving forward all the way at least into the 1990's with improving the story line summaries and the what was going on backstage or behind the scenes? I would also like to start to do something, starting with this time period, moving forward, in the summaries that I would want to seek approval to do so (don't know if others writing about other serials might pick this up) that I saw in writings of a book about soaps in the 1970's of introducing new characters by having their names written in all caps? Example: Such as introducing characters as: MARY RUTHLEDGE. --Petjbr03 (talk) 02:05, 7 August 2014 (UTC)petjbr03 22:04, 6 August 2014--Petjbr03 (talk) 02:05, 7 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Please do not link individual years, per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Date_formatting and WP:CONTEXT. The exception is if the year is from a different decade than the current article, for example referencing something which happened in the previous or next decade. Then, the year should be piped to the appropriate article:
