Nonvandal
Cytkory did not do any vandalism. Are you sure he/she did vandalism? --220.255.209.39 (talk) 14:22, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
- Yes I'm afraid he is vandalising the site, of that this user is fully aware. Removing sources that are still valid and verify the statement without replacing with another source is vandalism. Cytkory is fully aware of this and has been invited to into discussions and warned plenty of times, but refused to cooperate or discuss. This is an encyclopaedia run on reliable, verifiable information.Blethering Scot 19:02, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

- Are they new logos entirely or replacing something.Blethering Scot 18:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- Each of the logos will be used on articles of the 2015 versions of the tournament, but will also be used on main article page itself. So for instance this logo will used on 2015 Snooker Shoot-Out & Snooker Shoot-Out. I've already removed the old logo from the Snooker Shoot-Out as it was a different sponsor, but that logo is still need for 2014 Snooker Shoot-Out. So I guess you would say new, sorry long winded. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 18:15, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
