| I do not think that anyone disputes that Robertson did publish "the Free Zone decree", that he did claim the provenance for it that is stated, or that the use of "Free Zone" as an umbrella term evolved out of its use to designate this one group.

When I pointed these warnings and notices (including those from your SineBot) out to him, noting that he was disregarding their intent in his ongoing actions, his response was to first erase them all from his talk page (isolating my replies and wikiquette reminders), then blank that page completely. I showed him links to MoS and editing standards, and asked him to stop leaving unsigned comments on my talk page; I told him I would approach an admin if he continued. He of course left ''yet another'' unsigned reply, on my talk page. I've heard enough. Could you please look into this matter? Thanks. ] (]) 03:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC) | |||

I filed ] because Propastop's activities are almost identical to Pabopa's multiple socks..

Finally, it's smaller, more user-friendly in its meaning, less obtrusive, and I never had to deal with a complaint in the last few years over bugs in it rendering due to CSS issues in modern browsers.

| Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | |
|
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. |
