Edit on the Andrew Callaghan

Hello, I noticed that you reverted an edit citing WP:RSN. I can't find that particular source listed at RSN or WP:RSP. Maybe I just missed it; could you show me where it's listed?

Thanks,  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 01:59, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

It's not in WP:RS/PS, but based on my search of the RSN archives, it seems as though the consensus each time there's a discussion about Sportskeeda is that it is unreliable.

Thank you for showing me the RSN discussion archives, I understand now. Hopefully one day there can be a formal discussion to get it added to RS/P, but until then, I agree that it's probably best to avoid using it when possible. Cheers!  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 02:14, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Good Humor
We don't get enough quality articles here about funny things. People like writing about death and violence, but for some reason it's the lightest topics that want for contributors. It always warms the heart to see someone take the time to sit down, research, and write out a detailed article on a particular humorous phenomenon. And when I think of the people who write those kinds of articles, the thing I think most of all is that there's a drive into deep left field by castellanos; that will be a home run. And so that will make it a four nothing ballgame.

Happy editing. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 06:41, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

@Tamzin: You got me. I don't know why I didn't expect it lol  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 07:37, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron: Do you know what this is about? I know it's been a while since I've made a DYK submission, but I thought I did everything right, procedure-wise.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 05:55, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
@Bait30: Yep, don't worry, that's totally my fault :) I moved the April Fools' page, so DYKHousekeepingBot doesn't recognize it anymore. Sorry about that, my bad! Pinging dying to relay the same. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 05:58, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
