Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Ten Sports, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. 3mi1y (talk) 09:38, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- We are adding the original URL!
- In 2016, Ten Sports was bought by UK-based Japan's Sony Corporation's subsidiary company called MSM Asia Limited. MSM Asia formed a company called Tower Sports Private Limited to operate Ten Sports In Pakistan.
- The official website is www.tensports.com that redirects to https://www.sonypicturessportsnetwork.com/ JohnCarter66 (talk) 09:47, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- I'm confused - the URL that's currently in the article seems to still be working, and neither of the two you mentioned here are the same as the one you're trying to add. 3mi1y (talk) 10:02, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the response. That is because in Pakistan, there is no OTT rights! Ten Sports Pakistan has television rights. Secondly, https://www.sonypicturessportsnetwork.com is the official website and all the broadcasting rights are owned by Sony Pictures Network India. SonyLiv App is the Official OTT Live Streaming Service provider owned by Sony Pictures Network India which is why in the Live Streaming tab, we are adding https://www.sonyliv.com/. There is a major difference between OTT and TV media rights.
- Secondly, the website that you are mentioning is working in the article is not the official website of Ten Sports. That website is not owned by Sony Pictures Network India. The official website is https://www.sonypicturessportsnetwork.com while the Official Website for OTT (Live Streaming) is https://www.sonyliv.com/ JohnCarter66 (talk) 10:15, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hm. I apologize for starting this thread with a big spam warning then (I'm pretty sure I meant to select the severity level below that, but still). At the time it looked a lot like the usual pattern of someone trying to change an existing link to a spam site, and sonyliv.com is not available where I am, which did not help my confidence.
- I can't tell which of you is correct (honestly, it's not clear to me that any of the five URLs I've seen so far are real), but you and the other editor appear to be in an edit war, and I encourage you to read the policies about that before continuing to edit, notably WP:3RR. Please discuss it on the talk page before continuing. 3mi1y (talk) 19:49, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
