Hi. In your recent edit summary, "no cause for dep in ELs, however", what is "dep"? Thanks, and Happy New Year. Nightscream (talk) 02:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Sun as a depreciated source

Hi, with regards to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartan_Army_Sunshine_Appeal, I did explain my choice to use The Sun in the talk page. Please note:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#The_Sun that for sports reporting (which is what this is) it can be considered reliable. With that in mind, would you agree to revert the edit? CT55555 (talk) 17:40, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

PS Actually the same content is covered in sources that are not the sun, so maybe it better to have it removed....maybe just ignore this request. CT55555 (talk) 17:44, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's always better to use another source :-) In the actual RFC, it did not find a general open-slather permission for sports - that was something an editor added to RSP later and resisted the removal of, and not the finding of the RFC. I think that note at RSP is misleading and open to hazards like this, but oh well - David Gerard (talk) 17:46, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, one less link to The Sun in the world is a good thing. :-) Have a good one. CT55555 (talk) 21:11, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Yat Siu#Where was the consensus to redirect this page to Animoca Brands?

I started a talk page discussion at Talk:Yat Siu#Where was the consensus to redirect this page to Animoca Brands? where I have asked you a question about where a consensus to redirect was formed after you reverted to a redirect with the edit summary "Please keep to consensus".
