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 If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago.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

Thank you

Hello Slakr I am Gameroffun, I just wanted to give you a BIG thanks for blocking Thevideogameexpert. He was really annoying. I am very happy that you could understand my report on him. Now I can have some peace. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gameroffun (talk • contribs) 21:03, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello slakr, i have noticed that you deleted an article that i was working on it, i was just wondering why? thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauraharvey (talk • contribs) 15:35, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

It was clearly a hoax, as the claim to notability for the person is patently false; they obviously are not a professional athlete for the Dallas Mavericks. If you were using, e.g., an article about a professional basketball player as a template, I'd suggest placing it in your sandbox instead of the main article space while you work on it. --slakr^\ talk / 02:30, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Amon Carter Museum Edit-a-thon Update

The date of the upcoming edit-a-thon at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth has been changed to October 10, 2015. An event page for the event should be forthcoming shortly. I'll be serving as the technical adviser for the event and your participation would be very much appreciated. I'll let you know when the event page is up.

Emergency block request

Thanks for your help at AIV, but......

Unless you have information otherwise, I think you may have misinterpreted what was going on. The 96 IP address popped up yesterday making strictly non productive edits on highway articles in the US Northeast. I am pretty sure the 50 IP address is related to an ongoing stalking issue I've been having due to the pattern of a PA on my talk combined with multiple blind reverts. This is the third or fourth time this has happened. Other IPs were in the 138 and 174 groups, along with some IPv6 addresses. I don't think 96 is related at all.

User:SineBot adds signature even when I sign

Hi Slark, earlier I wrote my first two sections in talk pages on the English Wikipedia, and I noticed that User:SineBot added the automatic signature even though I had signed. You can see this here, but maybe it will add the automatic signature to this post too so as you can have a closer proof. :) --Tanonero (msg) 18:36, 13 August 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanonero (talk • contribs)

Nevermind, I figured it by myself. I had copied the signature from the Italian version and it was redirecting to Utente:Tanonero rather than User:Tanonero. --Tanonero (msg) 18:46, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! Can I still get the Manix Abrera article back? Ill cite the reference you provided. I was very poor in doing my research and cited another wiki instead. I mean no harm in creating this wiki. Thanks!
