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 marking edits minor

Sinebot marked this edit as minor, which hid it from my watchlist. Kind of annoying - I saw the bar appear on my watchlist and no edit to User talk:Gwern, and had to ponder for a minute before I realized why that was so. Perhaps user talk edits should not be marked minor. --Gwern (contribs) 14:33 15 February 2010 (GMT)

Edit war

Hi there.

Thanks for a taking a look at my post on the 3RR board. You closed it as protected, but I think we need a different solution.

As I see it, there are two problems as things stand. First, the user has been edit warring on both Drum and Drum kit, but only Drum has been granted page protection. The edit warring is continuing at Drum kit, although it has died down in the past two days while everyone waited for action from 3RR.

Second, full page protection seems to be overkill for a page that is only being abused by a single user. No one can make even grammatical changes until the protection lapses, and when it does lapse, the user in question has clearly stated that he plans to disregard consensus and 3RR.

I hope you'll take another look and reconsider.

Thanks. — Bdb484 (talk) 19:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Don't know if you're still too busy with real life to take a look at this, but I've reposted the notice now that the page protection has lapsed. The offending user has, of course, returned to continue the edit war. — Bdb484 (talk) 14:24, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I wanna know why dis gay dude deleted my fucking article

Hmm, Plant Music? The main reason was, of course, that it was an obvious hoax and/or was vandalism. Apart from that, it was my pet fern that told me to. It heard through the grapevine that none of the other ferns knew of the music to which the article referred. Then again, the grapevine and/or my fern might be lying to me (much like they did that one time when they misled me into thinking that they would make beets taste yummier if I left a dime-bag of fertilizer under the fern). So, if you feel that an error was made, feel free to suggest undeletion. --slakr^\ talk / 14:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Then we have

as for pet fwerns and dudes - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citra_Indah_Residence - 9 month free advertising - what would you do? (user name and name and phone number at bottom of art :( ) SatuSuro 13:44, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Zapped. For obvious spam/advertising like that, in the future feel free to simply tag it with {{db-spam}}. --slakr^\ talk / 14:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, so considering I wrote the article, I don't understand how it could be copyright infringement. Could you perhaps help me put the article together please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smittysaint (talk • contribs) 17:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

In that case, it would also meet criteria for speedy deletion - blatant advertising due to its overwhelmingly promotional tone. I would also highly suggest that you read our spamming, conflict of interest, and your first article guidelines. --slakr^\ talk / 06:12, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Oi.

Give me an archive of my article, I need to show it to someone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dilsl (talk • contribs) 00:02, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Why delete a valid account of ' Mark Boardman '

Hello,

I wish to note that a very worthy page on a notable person was deleted. The relevant sources were checked and the addition of Mark Boardman page has all the details relevant to the page. He is a TV personality and has been on BBC, Channel 4 and runs the promotions for all the UK film premiere and is listed on many websites as a celebrity.

Myself and several other people complied the page and before removing as it was deleted before, for the sake of history add this.

Please review this file as deleting it is a very lazy way of not being impartial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.152.0.2 (talk) 11:32, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
