slakr's life is currently frolicking with chaos, so his activity and response times to queries will be highly variable. Leave a message and he will respond whenever he gets a chance— that is, assuming he gets a chance. Cheers =) zOMG!!! I need urgent assistance!!!1!! — banana? — kiwi? |
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 If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago.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 :)

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. |

Procseebot outing issue
Hi. Procseebot's unblock request asks (perhaps) the wrongly blocked user to write down his/her ip address along with the unblock request template. If that's the case, could you kindly look into it and see whether this needs correction (as it might lead logged in wrongly blocked users to reveal their ip address forcefully, and might cause an outing concern). If that's not the case, give me a kick and get me rolling out of the way :) Best ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 11:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- The same concern exists in cases of general non-anon-only ip blocks. Anyone concerned about outing is free to privately contact a checkuser or an admin, depending on how concerned they are about their privacy. Also, depending on the scenario, other options exist:
- The block is no longer accurate i.e., there isn't an open proxy on their computer/network. They can simply edit their ip's talk page while logged out to request an unblock. This could happen in the event that it's an issue with a shared ip pool being reassigned from a computer with the proxy to another user without one. The request to unblock could go something like this:
{{unblock|zOMG! I'm like...totally blocked from...like...the site. I'm a legit user, but I really don't want to post my ip in my unblock request on my user talk page, so I'm posting it here for someone to check to make sure there's no world-usable proxies still running on it.}} - They need to request an ip block exemption. If for some reason an ip block exemption is needed and #1 somehow doesn't apply, then they'll probably need to contact a checkuser to figure out what's going on. In either case, they can place a non-revealing request to unblock using something like the following:
{{unblock|zOMG! Dude! I... it's just... argh... DUDE! I'm soooo wrongly blocked, but I don't want to reveal my ip address, 'cause I'm wanted by the feds. Just kidding about the feds part, but yeah, I guess I need a checkuser to help with this.}}.
- The block is no longer accurate i.e., there isn't an open proxy on their computer/network. They can simply edit their ip's talk page while logged out to request an unblock. This could happen in the event that it's an issue with a shared ip pool being reassigned from a computer with the proxy to another user without one. The request to unblock could go something like this:
- Worst case, if you accidentally post your ip/any other personal details to your user talk page, contact the oversighters immediately and it will be deleted from the page history and any future, publicly-available database dumps.
- In the particular case of ProcseeBot, any admin is always free to reverse the bot's block at any time and it will not be re-blocked by the bot.

User Nmate " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Nmate " makes vandalism, delete historical relevant fact, espetialy in slovak-hungarian history. Problem in Wikipedia is nationalism. Geographical name in all Hungarian Kingdom was till the 19th century LATIN, than it was local names and in 1907 after Lex Apponyi was changed to Hungarian in all kingdom. They put hungarian names in all history of kingdom. Its big problem in thousand articles. i have 3 solutions, we can use official historical names in that period for exmaple: 1001 - 1867 LATIN NAME, 1867 - 1918 HUNGARIAN NAMES, 1918 to present SLOVAK, ROMANIAN etc. geographical names. Next use the local names in that time, if not we can use name from solution one. In the 3th solution we can use present geographical names in countries where this personality or region belongs. STOP WITH HUNGARIAN NATIONALISM AND MAGYARIZATION OF WIKIPEDIA! Thanx for answer (Samofi (talk) 11:25, 21 April 2010 (UTC))
Signature
Your pet robot keeps harassing me about signing my posts. I don't see the point when my IP address signature will be automatically added for my by your pet bot. I'm just too lazy. Let's see if he does it for this post to... :-D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.148.206.90 (talk) 01:14, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
- Of course, the same thing can be said of littering-- eventually someone will come along and pick it up, but ideally it never comes to that. :P --slakr\ talk / 01:42, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- And of course since sinebot isn't currently working (at least I think so since it hasn't made any contribs since the 24th) if you did post without signing now someone else is going to have to spend 30 seconds or more finding out who made the post if they want to sign it for you, something which would have taken you like 2 seconds Nil Einne (talk) 08:40, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome message
You probably know that when XLinkBot is about to create a new user talk page, it includes a welcome message. Perhaps SineBot should do the same? mechamind90 02:48, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Any chance of it starting work again? DuncanHill (talk) 14:40, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Done. --slakr\ talk / 20:30, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

SineBot apparently added the {{tilde}} note to a user who didn't make any open discussion page edits in at least 5 days. mechamind90 02:58, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Editor VandalismKnighttrain (talk) 22:41, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello I am an editor here on wikipedia. There is this other editor cosmic latte who has been vandalising the Michael jackson Page with the last 24 hours he has made over 50 edits to major parts of the article without even discussing with other editors who have been warning him. he has in the passed been guilty of vandalism. Please speak with him. I also believe that he uses other names such as TimothyHorrigan and Rodhullandemu. please speak with this individual he has put block on his vandalism so you cant undo what he has done. This is making wikipedia look really bad as Michael Jackson is one of the most searched article .Knighttrain (talk) 22:41, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
