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.

Hubcaps.com

I don't work for the site, i'm barely a fan, i just thought that it would turn into a possibly high veiwed page. It certaily is not a spam, it's not trying to get you to go to the site or anything, it's like the wikipedian YouTube page, it has the same information, and isn't trying to encourage anyone to go there. Please re-think the deletion of Hubcaps.com.

  -Thank you and sincerely, Crowz RSA

Youssef Chahine and Omar Sharif.

Hello, I really need help and I will really appreciate it if you can help me. The following two articles, Youssef Chahine and Omar Sharif had some information missing from them and I added the information regarding their countries of origin (Egyptian born but Lebanese Christians by origin) , I also used reliable sources. And I added a wikiproject tag on them as well. And there is a user on both of these articles who keeps undoing my changes. What can I do although I am using reliable sources? I am really feeling harassed! I would really appreciate your help thanks :):) Lebanese bebe (talk) 20:27, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

With respect to your block of 80.254.146.36 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

January 26, 2009, Slakr (talk | contribs | block) blocked 80.254.146.36 (talk) (expires on January 26, 2011 at 08:01, account creation blocked) (Template:blocked proxy )

The users of this ip are on unblock-en-l asking for an unblock. Could you confirm that this ip remains an open proxy and needs to continue to be blocked. (I am supposed to know about this too, but could use some tips on how to answer this question). Fred Talk 13:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Whois shows this ip and all of 80.254.144.0/22 belongs to scansafe.com, which filters traffic through a cloud. So, it is always a portal, but is it an open one? Fred Talk 17:08, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy, such as a VPN service. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

If you are using an open proxy or VPN service, you will need to disable it or turn it off in order to edit Wikipedia.

If you believe you are not using an anonymizing proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer using your IP address who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. You may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the Unblock Ticket Request System.

More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). For more information, see the WikiProject on Open Proxies.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using an open or anonymizing proxies in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

66.210.188.136:80 ) What is the meaning of 66.210.188.136:80 with respect to the blocked address? Fred Talk 20:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

212.22.180.2

This is the IP address of a proxy operated by an ISP in Kenya. It is not (or should not be!) an open proxy. I access it from 212.22.182.82 (fixed IP, in fact a premises NAT box).

What is going on? It shouldn't have triggered anything (and hasn't previously over several years). Robert Ullmann (talk) 23:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
