User talk:slakr

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 =)

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 If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago.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

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.

Oh great...

Now that disruptive IP is at it again on Smalljim's talk page. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 08:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SineBot down?

SineBot appears to be down (it last edited on May 2). Would you be able to investigate? Thanks, House Blaster (talk · he/they) 01:31, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies... I wasn't paying attention and I apparently need to verify the texting number it uses (that I'd normally get as a notification when it dies). :P --slakr^\ talk / 06:07, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering why @SineBot was down. There’s been a couple people on a big discussion (about F/EF5 tornadoes) on one of my WikiProjects that have forgotten to sign stuff and SineBot never signed any of the comments. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 01:53, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Slight mistake by Sinebot

Morning Slak

[1] Looks like Sinebot wiped out… whatever the new user was saying (I dunno what they were going for) while signing. Dunno what Sinebot’s coding can learn from this one, but I’m no tech genius, and you might see something that I don’t.

Danke. MM (Give me info.) ^(Victories) 10:48, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
