Wikipedia talk:Reliable South African Sources

RS
Hello, as an editor who's laser focused on the South African side of the encyclopedia I noticed that Independent Online and TimesLIVE where identified as marginally reliable or no consensus (yellow) from generally reliable (green) by the CiteHighliter script, and when I reached out to the (here), I was told that the domains were moved here but I do not see any discussion where consensus to move the sites was reached. TimesLIVE was deemed reliable by admin approximately 11 years ago here ( raised concern about IOL here) and consensus was reached last year making the aforementioned sites and The South African reliable at WP:NPPSG citing this discussion. After creating the articles Nandipha Magudumana and Tracking Thabo Bester I noticed that GroundUp suddenly turned green out of nowhere and it was never assessed at WP:RS/Noticeboard, was it because of the airing of Tracking Thabo Bester on Showmax and how they gave information on apprehending the most searched individual in 2023 in South Africa? I truly think you're doing a great job but wiki is a collaborative site where users come together to work on a certain task, so my question is why was the above-mentioned sites moved from reliable to no consensus? I'll be on the lookout for your response.  dxneo  (talk) 01:30, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hey, Sorry for the late response, life has been crazy.
 * My intention with all “Usable but be cautious” sources are that they are still green, just that certain articles from those sources might be biased. TapticInfo (talk) 17:55, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Those sources have been assessed at WP:RS/Noticeboard as mentioned above. So a sole decision going against multiple users' consensus is not the way to go. Would you consider moving the sources back to "reliable" then consider opening an assessment discussion at WP:RS/Noticeboard to reach (new) consensus?  dxneo  (talk) 20:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I come back I think https://theofficialsacharts.co.za/ should be listed under generally reliable sources as it issues musical charts and updates on music news and releases. Thoughts?  dxneo  (talk) 20:19, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
