Ideally, please use this link to post new messages at the bottom. If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago. Cheers :)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Regarding slakr: Why did my page get deleted? Please see Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted? first. I have no idea what you're talking about. What's vandalism? If you received a warning from me and you're not logged in, you might have gotten an old warning I sent to someone who shares your IP address. On the other hand, if you've made recent edits and received a recent warning message from me and you genuinely believe that it's not vandalism, don't fret-- simply drop me a message below, because I could have simply made a silly mistake. :) Regarding SineBot: Why does SineBot keep signing stuff I've already signed? All comments should have a signature that includes both a link to your user page (slakr) and a datestamp (05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)) (per signatures - internal links). This is most easily generated by placing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your contributions, which makes something like "slakr 05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)". If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing. If you're still having problems after trying that, post a message below. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. I don't want my comments signed by SineBot. How do I get it to ignore me or my talk page? Please use one of the opt-out methods listed on its user page. SineBot forgot to sign something it should have signed. Usually this happens because the bot isn't sure if it really should sign something, so it defaults to not signing it (e.g., in cases of complex edits). It does this to avoid being annoying. Other times, a comment might be made when the bot is down for maintenance, so the bot simply never sees it. SineBot signed something that it genuinely should not have signed. Please let me know-- especially if you think it's not a one-time thing. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. Is SineBot's source code available? Not currently. I'm signing with four tildes (~~~~) but it's still saying I didn't! You likely enabled raw signatures. Open your preferences, click the "User profile" tab, make sure that "Treat the above as wiki markup" is NOT checked, and click Save; it should be fixed. If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing.

Spotfixer block

Just as an FYI, I extended the spotfixer block to indefinite, given the amount of disruption and consternation that socking episode represented. If you feel this is in direct contravention to our intent or it is otherwise uncool, please let me know at your convenience and I'll reverse myself immediately. I'll watchlist this page but you can leave me a message if you like. Protonk (talk) 20:19, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

User talk:218.75.23.110 unblock request

According to User talk:218.75.23.110, the IP address is no longer a proxy. Since you blocked it in January, what do you think? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:07, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Misblock?

My account is always blocked by your ProcseeBot, which is very annoying to frequent editors like me. Please check if it has misblocked me or not. AdeKaka' (talk) 13:21, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

If you're able to edit this page, you're not blocked. --slakr^\ talk / 16:21, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

80.77.199.167

I was looking at this IP's link additions for possible blacklisting; when I looked more closely, I realized that these were benign edits. This IP was updating existing links to reflect a change in URLs. (Yahoo is discontinuing it's Geocities hosting, so the content for these links is moving to another provider). --A.

Additional point

Didn't want to say it at ANI but see also [1]. Sort of an interesting meta-review of what's going on. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Assuming that it's not a fictional persona, I have to admit, it takes a special type of person to take pot shots at some poor guy suffering from apparent mental disability. I thought that as a society we had moved past making fun of those types of people (to the point where no social group in real life would ever allow it to happen), but I guess we've made a giant step backwards. If it is a fictional persona, then bringing it here seems to be spitting in the faces of people who volunteer their time, patience, and keystrokes to try to make this meaningless and ultimately insignificant life suck a little less for everyone else. So really, either way, I don't really understand the justification for it all. --slakr^\ talk / 05:10, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I say it takes a special type of person to get to the point where they are ranting and raving about how an online encyclopedia is written (including blocks, bans, personal real-life calls, complaints), but I agree. The internet is a weird, weird place. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:23, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

SineBot at en_wikinews

Hi, sorry to bother you again, but User:SineBot seems to have gone inactive at Wikinews after April 1, 2009. See the contributions. Cheers, --SVTCobra (talk) 23:26, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
