Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Bar Rafaeli SI 2009 Swimsuit Cover.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Bar Rafaeli SI 2009 Swimsuit Cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 01:47, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Re: Tobacco (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver)

Thanks for advocating for this article, which I still believe clearly meets notability criteria. I commented again at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 December 10, which was a closed discussion, in case you wish to comment on the new version of the article. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:19, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

This is now the 3rd fight, so I'm a little battle weary. --Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 02:53, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited J. R. Martinez, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SPC. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Brock Turner

Just to let you know that I moved back Brock_Turner_sentencing_controversy article to its original title Brock Turner, because there's currently lack of consensus and already a discussion open on article's talk page on what should an appropriate title be for this article. You are encouraged to participate in the discussion. Anup [Talk] 19:25, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Seniority in the House of Representatives.

Hi. The Clerk of the House is the official source for members' seniority dates. The press gallery is run by media sources. Even though they use a house.gov address, it's not a government agency. If there's a conflict, the Clerk's office is definitive. JTRH (talk) 15:43, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 15:51, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

WP:DOY editing

RE your edit summary reply. Just one question. Did you check them all? Yours, Quis separabit? 12:50, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes, it seems that the person deleting them arbitrarily chose to delete them. They all have articles in multiple languages. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk)

Edit conflict

user:Sometimes the sky is blue I am working too. Not picking a fight. I want to work together. Rhadow (talk) 22:02, 7 August 2017 (UTC) It appears we are at loggerheads with the good doctor. He will not stop his effort to inject doubt into the assertions you and I have made. I am too tired to take this on tonight. Sorry for bumping into you. A pleasure to work with you.

SNL 43

Thanks for your input on Saturday Night Live's Season 43 page. I think we disagree on how Alec Baldwin should be labeled. It has always been that anyone not in the cast (meaning not in the opening credits) who make an appearance be noted. I hope we can talk about this on the SNL talk page to see what the rest of the community has to say. As for now, I have reverted back to the way it was, since Baldwin is not a member of the cast, and that is how it is labeled for the other 42 seasons. BIK89 (talk) 02:58, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

We can (and I will) change it for Season 42. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 04:57, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Edit war?

While I'm not sure you've technically broken the 3-revert rule, you haven't begun any discussion and are singlehandedly making changes to Saturday Night Live (season 43). I've opened a thread at Talk:Saturday Night Live (season 43) § Baldwin, again and invite you to give your input. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 22:30, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Not true. I did continue the conversation in the talk page. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 22:32, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Saturday Night Live (season 43), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cameo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Discussion regarding your reverts on Nancy Kerrigan

As per your request, I've started a discussion on the talk page regarding your repeated reverts on constructive edits to the Nancy Kerrigan page.

I would prefer to go down this path first, rather than report you for edit warring.

Please feel free to express your views on the talk page. Before doing so, I invite you to read Wikipedia's style manual with regards to using plain English and avoiding loaded verbs such as "endured" and "suffered" in favour of neutral terms such as "had".

Launch fairing

Just a quick hint: There is no such thing as a launch fairing ;) You could say upper stage or payload adapter. Payload fairing is a different thing and it's not attached to the satellite, but rather upper stage itself. SkywalkerPL (talk) 17:37, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to point out the distinction. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 17:38, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

What is a revert

This edit summary seems to indicate that you don't understand what a revert is. Per WP:3RR, "An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert" and "A 'revert' means any edit (or administrative action) that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material." Every one of the diffs I listed counts as a revert:

• [1] Edit summary "Undid revision 820048204 by Favre1fan93 (talk)" - obvious revert
• [2] Edit summary "'cameo appearance as himself' is redundant. That's the definition of cameo appearance.)" - Not so obvious but partially undid this edit, which removed "in the episode "A Patch, a Modem, and a Zantac" in a flashforward scene 27 years into the future.", which you restored in your edit. That still counts as a revert.
• [3] Edit summary "Undid revision 820342025 by AlexTheWhovian" - another obvious revert
• [4] Edit summary "Undid revision 820342549 by AlexTheWhovian" - also an obvious revert

WP:3RR is a bright-line rule. It doesn't matter if you think your edit is legitimate, if it is a revert then it counts towards a 3RR breach. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:37, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Oooops. Looks like I miscounted and mis-read the time stamps of the edits. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 08:42, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
