Hello,
== SineBot source code ==


I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ].
Hello. Is source code of your bot available for download? I was asked to run a signing bot on another project, so it would be quite useful (there is no point in re-inventing the wheel:). ] (]) 12:19, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
:Hello. I think you missed my question (excluding my nick it was serious). ] (]) 12:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, yes, I think this was the issue. Hello :) Actually, I also spotted your bot in action and would be extremely happy to make it possible for it to work on plwiki, which is my home project (as well as the Invisible Idiont's, who's known as Beau on plwiki). Cheers. ] (]) 10:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
::Well... If you didn't want to share it with us you should have written it. The worst kind of refusal is deferment... ] (]) 15:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
:::''*breaks cheerful and lighthearted demeanor for a moment*''


Take the survey ''''''.
:::First and foremost, deferment isn't the worst kind of refusal&mdash; refusal is. I would have just said "no" if I never intended on releasing it, but as you'll see from my talk page archives, I actually ''was'' planning on doing it at some point in the future.


Kind Regards,
:::Another idea: you might consider living life from another person's perspective and attempt to understand possible motives for certain actions he or she may take. With enough experience in coding, you quickly realize that very unskilled, unimaginative, and otherwise selfish people are more than happy to run off with your code and claim it as their own work&mdash; sometimes for a profit&mdash; while you sit there in stupor wondering wtf just happened, all the while every last drop of your generative drive is sucked away, leaving you feeling unmotivated, alone, and betrayed.


]
:::As a result, I'm slightly less than eager to wantonly release code on-demand any more&mdash; particularly if I've started a project with internal motivation and have put a decent amount of work into it to fix the many bugs/issues people have brought up. Of course, it doesn't really help that there are sites out there that, at the same time as running Mediawiki, indirectly and/or directly blast the very people who help maintain it, either. It also doesn't help that people come along and say that I shouldn't have even written something at all if I'm not going to by-default let everyone and their mother use it for whatever purpose they want and/or proceed to repeatedly post to my talk page in an effort to get their way.

== Signbot Oopsies ==


I am pretty sure I know what's going on here. I have a non alphanumeric username and am linking through the romanized version of my username which redirect to my correct username, but signbot is signing it anyway. I realize this is probably more of a coding headache than is worth fixing, but I thought it might be worth noting for anyone else who decides to follow wikipedia's suggestion when they have foreign character usernames Does signbot look to make sure that the user links to their own talk page?

The easiest logical solution I can think of from a programming perspective would be to check if the username links to their own talk page, and if not, check to see if that talk page is a simple redirect to the proper one before having signbot sign the comment.

Let me know if you need any more clarification or want me to test anything for you!

&nbsp;--]<sup>]</sup> 00:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

:I have temporarily corrected the problem with SineBot automatically signing your comments by adding '''<code><nowiki>]|<nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</nowiki><nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>''' to ] user page. If you wish to hide this category on your user page, you can instead add '''<code>{{tl|NoAutosign}}</code>''' instead of the category. Anyway... hope that helps (for the time being at least).

:::Understood. However, don't you think signbot ought to be following policy, though? This is going to happen to anyone who follows the policy that also has a non-roman username... Yeah? Just a thought. I don't suppose there's a way for signbot to simply keep a list of non-roman usernames on wikipedia and ignore them so long as they link to *some* usertalk page? &nbsp;--]<sup>]</sup> 21:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

== Sinebot detection algorithm ==

Hi - Per Sinebot is signing edits made by this anonymous user who I believe is manually signing using 5 tildes to produce the date. Any chance you would consider changing the detection algorithm to consider something that ends in a UTC date (without a link to a user or talk page) as a sig? -- ] <small>(])</small> 01:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
:Please see ]. --]<small><sup>\&nbsp;]&nbsp;/</sup></small> 05:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
::I gather you mean "no"? I've suggested this user obtain a userid, although I think a user entering "this is me <nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki>" at the end of a post is clearly signing. Yeah, there's no link but anyone actually interested can always find it from the article history. -- ] <small>(])</small> 05:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Signing is four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), which automatically puts a link to the user page + timestamp, as per ]. --]<small><sup>\&nbsp;]&nbsp;/</sup></small> 06:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
::Yes, I know how one autosigns and what happens. However, I am puzzled by your seeming resistance to entertaining this idea. Are you saying an anonymous user who types "Matt <nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki>" is not making a good faith effort to sign? In this case, the user's IP address seems to move around a bit so what he's doing is actually MORE informative than four tildes. Or are you worried about spoofed sigs? Or is there some other issue I'm not seeing? -- ] <small>(])</small> 13:56, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm not assuming bad faith or anything&mdash; nor does the bot. If anything, the bot serves to gently introduce people to the concept of signatures, how they work, and how to properly use them. I was also considering adding a small link to the tutorial into {{t1|tilde}}. In any case, if a particular user's signature fails ], the bot will let them know after they do it a few times, and the problem is solved. Also, if I changed the logic to acknowledge ''only'' datestamps as a valid signature, then it renders its {{t1|unsigned}} functionality that drops the time argument useless, which will cause people as well-meaning as you to come storm to my talk page demanding I program the bot to only use {{tlx|Unsigned|User}} instead of {{tlx|Unsigned|User|Date}}, as well as the {{tlx|Undated}} stuff useless as well.

:::Trust me, I've already been through this dance, so feel free to surf my talk page archives if you have free time to see how easy it is for people to complain to me about the ]. :P Of course, I figure that if someone else wants to make something better, than they're more than welcome to do so.

Curious about the revision of my comment, admittedly I am not familiar with the ins and outs of wikipedia guidelines, so I'm sorry if I stepped over the line in some regard. My guess would be the listing of the vandals IP address in the comment. If this is the reason I don't especially mind, although I would be interested in knowing which Misplaced Pages user utilizes that IP if you have the ability to use checkuser on them. I believe it is pertinent to the ongoing debate over the inclusion of the ED article, especially concerning issues of NPOV which have come up. --] (]) 07:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

::The edits weren't made by administrators, they were made on ED by the account User:FaggotryreignsED (as noted in the post that was reverted). You can verify this by checking that account's contributions at ED (I can't provide a link).

:::::I didn't list edit summaries that THEY made in particular, I listed a group of ED articles that were just vandalized by a particular individual, in a seemingly non-coincidental way in regards to the revival of the attempt to re-create an ED article on Misplaced Pages. While this may not directly be relevant, I feel that the act of someone who is obviously very personally involved in Misplaced Pages/ED drama to deface our wiki could very well be related to the discussion we are currently having. Especially in regards to the question of NPOV of the parties involved. Permit me to degenerate into internet speak to illustrate this point. butthurt fgts from TOW are trolling our wiki because they are pissed someone had the cojones to re-create that shitstub. The notice on the talk page in and of itself is enough for anyone to see there are some obvious conflicts in interest in regards to this article.

== Three-revert rule violation on List of Sort Codes of the United Kingdom ==

Can you please reconsider this result. The editor concerned is continuing to make disputed edits here. ] (]) 14:07, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
:I've made some minor style and formating tweaks, none of which Chrisieboy has disputed on the talk page. I thought it was the bigger style change to the tables that was the issue. However, if minor edits are also ruled out, then I'm happy to stop. In the meantime, I've been accused of lying by Chrisieboy (about the removal of my comment on the third user's talk page, and despite giving the diff showing that action, an apology was refused ), and Chrisieboy still won't explain exactly what his/her problem with my edits is.
:It's all very unhelpful and unconstructive, and my only motivation continues to be to improve this article, which I'd like to be able to get on with. I've no problem with criticism, but none has really been given yet (or not in any more detail than 'I don't like it').

Back in June 17, 2007 you deleted a page I created called Investing Strategy. You called it copywrited. I cannot figure out how to 'see' that page now, so I cannot review it. I presume you know how.

Can you please say what exactly was copywrited. Since it was mostly word-for-word what I have posted on my website I do not want to be in infringment there either.

But really, I do not believe anything was infringed. In fact the whole point of my website is to post the truths that are not available ANYWHERE else on the web. Certainly, if you thought the Wiki page was the same as my webpage, that is no problem. I certainly do not copywrite it ... I encourage its dissemination. ] ] (]) 15:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

== SineBot editing excluded(?) page ==

Hello, here to bug you about your bot. Earlier today, an IP editor left a comment on my talk page but forgot to sign it. Naturally, SineBot dutifully came by and added the unsigned template . Problem is, I have the {{tlp|bots|deny=SineBot}} template on my talk page header ], which is in turn transcluded onto my talk page. What I'm not sure about, and why I'm contacting you about it, is whether this is SineBot ignoring the exclusion template for some reason, or if he's simply not seeing it because it's transcluded through another template. If that's the case, then it would be my fault, for which I apologize for bugging you about it. Either way, thanks for your time. ] <sup>(]/]/])</sup> 04:02, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, it doesn't see it because {{t1|Bots}} produces no visible output; and, the bot doesn't check pages recursively.

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)
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.
