Locked page prevents news documentation
Anyway... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-sky-m-a-comcast/comcast-challenges-murdoch-and-disney-with-31-billion-offer-for-sky-idUSKCN1GB0M3 ...maybe some admin can update this article. 172.58.200.237 (talk) 13:33, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, however I'm a bit concerned about WP:RECENTISM and WP:CRYSTAL here. It could all change quite rapidly. Best wait to see what happens.--15:46, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Sky plc
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Sky plc's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto": From Wikipedia: Noam Cohen, "Conspiracy videos? Fake news? Enter Wikipedia, the ‘good cop’ of the Internet" Washington Post April 7, 2018 From Sky Sports:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:48, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

James Murdoch
Has Jmaes Murdoch stepped down as Chairman of Sky? Or is he going to step down when Comcast take full ownership of Sky?, Im just wondering because of comcast's 76.8% stake in sky and i've not heard anything about it yet, Thanks. Pepper Gaming (talk) 19:42, 5 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, he has been stepped down from Sky to be replaced by Jeremy Dardoch. Cheers. Reaper  Dawn  11:53, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Sky Limited Redirect
Hi there, is it ok if I restore everything back to Sky limited as this blocked user changed the redirect to this page and now this page's redirect has been changed to Sky's UK division. Thanks. Pepper Gaming (talk) 22:09, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Sky (United Kingdom) → Talk: Sky Limited – unable to move the talk page back myself as it's my first ever page move and this page was redirected to here by via a cut and paste move. This page was restored by an admin to undo the cut and paste move which is why I'm asking an admin to do a proper page move back to talk: Sky Limited .Pepper Gaming (talk) 11:02, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Sky shouldn't be referred to as Sky plc
Sky shouldn't be referred to as a plc in the main article as its now delisted from the stock exchange and 100% owned by comcast so until its name is confirmed can it be kept as just 'sky' until we know it's actual name is 'sky limited' (im not requesting a page move but wanting to reach an agreement as to we should call it in the article). Thanks Pepper Gaming (talk) 23:12, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I know, but let's just wait until the company's registered name changes to "Sky Limited". JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 13:44, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I just decided to go with Sky (company) and avoid any suffixes all together. ViperSnake151   Talk  15:11, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * idk why but wouldnt Sky (comcast) be better since there is another company called sky too which is not related to this company. Anyway thats just my thoughts. Pepper Gaming (talk) 18:16, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * What is this "other" company? Do they have a Wikipedia article? ViperSnake151   Talk  19:48, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure it's at the top of the main artice wwhere it says 'not to be confused with Sky (cable company)'. Pepper Gaming (talk) 21:05, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Well the other is Sky Cable Corporation doing business as Sky. ViperSnake151   Talk  15:48, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, thats the other Sky that I was on about. Pepper Gaming (talk) 16:02, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
