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 If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago.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.

SineBot / warnings

After a 'final warning', when SineBot adds its l1 warning, this can mislead administrators and other users.

A specific example, on User_talk:70.116.134.247.

• I issued a 'final warning'.

• SineBot then issued its l1 warning.

• The user continued to disrupt, so I requested a block on AN[1] - but it was turned down, because the administrator did not see the previous final warning.

This results in the editor receiving confusing message - a 'final warning' followed by further warnings.  Chzz  ►  07:15, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

it's more complicated code/greater development time/greater maintenance to parse the numerous forms of warning / final warning that are out there, so I didn't. :P If an admin declines it, either bring it up on his talk page or ask someone else. :P --slakr^\ talk / 19:13, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Accusation

I received a link to this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:89.101.75.147#December_2009 when I opened Wikipedia this morning. I have never had a Wikipedia account and am not responsible for the two revisions for which I have been accused. I wrote this on the page as you can see, proving my ineptitude with even the notion of editing Wikipedia. I demand an explanation and a rebuttal of these accusations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.101.75.147 (talk) 10:48, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

IP addresses are a finite resource on the internet. Typical ISPs recycle them using DHCP. You are/were likely using an IP address someone else had used at another point in time. Creating an account can eliminate these sort of things, as messages on your talk page are only directed toward you. --slakr^\ talk / 19:09, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

SineBot nudity?

I have a question about SineBot's page. is it supposed to have that "enjoys editing wikipedia without wearing clothes" thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monk Preston (talk • contribs) 22:00, 18 May 2010 (UTC) Thanks SineBot! Monk~Preston (talk) 22:01, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes. Much like the other user boxes, it merely serves to set the tone/enumerate some basic concepts on Wikipedia, including WP:HUMOR. --slakr^\ talk / 19:11, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

All right, just checking. ~Monk (^Chat _Harrass) 21:22, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Proxy through a proxy

Hi there slakr! I have a question regarding your ProcseeBot. The other day, I stumbled upon this list of proxies, and decided to try a few. I was happy to see that almost all servers on that page were blocked on Wikipedia by your bot.

However, I noticed something after setting 74.115.1.10:80 as my proxy. Currently, this ip can still be found on the 3rd page of the list, the check date being "23-may-10 17:02". After that, when I went to Special:MyTalk, I noticed that my address had become 69.22.184.10. Apparently, the 74 server redirects my traffic through 69. Neither of these addresses are blocked, which made me wonder: does Procsee checks this? Maybe it does, and perhaps Procsee just doesn't monitor the site I linked to, but I couldn't resist notifying you about this.

Side note: this address has also been used by serial troll User:JohnRamirez, but I am not him.

Greetings, 69.22.184.10 (talk) 08:56, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Because JohnRamirez has again used this address to swear at someone (along with 75.180.57.61),[2] and because you seem too busy to respond, I have now reported it to WP:OP. Cheers, 69.22.184.10 (talk) 18:50, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for blocking you while you were editing :) The procsee bot does catch (at least some of) these asymmetric exit servers. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 18:53, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Lol, doesn't matter. ;-) Thanks for the quick reaction. Yeah, it was wrong of me to think that procsee wouldn't check that. It just doesn't check http://spys.ru/en/ it seems. Perhaps slakr can add that one to the list? Cheers, theFace 19:08, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

MR KURT

zOMG! No way! I never knew that. Anyway, thanks for the heads up, and cheers. --slakr^\ talk / 13:16, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Request for using Sinebot at wiki-pt

Hello Slakr, is there any possibility for you running this bot at the Portuguese wikipedia? If not, do you know any similar bot that can be used there? Thanks, --Darwinius (talk) 21:28, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
