Presently, the Polish Strategy is to wait until you relent and make the code public, at which time, we will steal it.


Hello,
However, the time behavior of the above algorithm is best formally expressed, in Versed Polish Notation, as ''czekanie do usranej śmierci'', which is highly nonlinear, and some even go on to allege, nondeterministically polypointless (], and being stoned by the entire village while tied to a ten-foot pole).

Actually, studies have shown that when deprived of outside input, humans slip into a 25-hour cycle...

:The real reason is probably because I'm still young and comprise the ~80% of youth that cite themselves more active+energetic+whatever at later hours of the day. Apparently what happens is that when you're young and when you're old, there's instead a 20%/80% distribution of evening-active to morning-active, but during adolescence and young adulthood, the trend is reversed quickly to 80/20, then gradually returns to the original 20/80 by late adulthood.
:Some evolutionary psychs have posited that it might have something to do with it being advantageous for youth to break away from their "loser parents," which presumably would increase the chances of mating (through increased chances of buttsecks). Some social psychs say it might just be due to the pressures of traditional 9to5 jobs to establish rigorous sleep schedules during early adulthood. Don't have cites for it all nor do I remember what the technical terms are, but I'm almost certain we have it mentioned in an article somewhere on here. :P

== The bot's message ==

For the record, here's what your bot writes:

''Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes (...) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 16:43, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

In general, I'm not a fan of WP bots, but your bot actually does something useful. One suggestion though, you could improve your bot by making the message less condescending. The current text assumes that the poster doesn't know about signing; when, in fact, they probably just forgot. Why not reword your bot's message along the following lines:

''Hi there. I noticed that you forgot to sign a recent post you made to talk page XXX <put a link to the page there>. I have taken the liberty of signing your post for you. In case you aren't familiar with signing talk pages content, here are a couple of tips: you can sign entries by typing four tildes (...) at the end of your comment or by clicking the signature button located above the edit window. Signing talk pages content is useful because other contributors are able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!

:It performs a {{tls|Tilde}}, a template that other editors also use. So, basically, if you think that {{tlx|Tilde}} could use for a change for the better for the bot, chances are everyone else would benefit, too.

'''Role of Jimmy Page'''

According to The Who's Official Website and various rock magazines, Jimmy Page has been credited for lead guitar work on the B-side of Bald Headed Woman.

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 =)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Comment

Regarding slakr:

Why did my page get deleted? Please see Misplaced Pages: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.
