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?

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.

AGB Investigative Services, Inc. Deletion

Slakr,

I'm confused as to why the page AGB Investigative Services, Inc. was deleted. As far as I could tell, there were no violations of Misplaced Pages's policies. Please give me a detailed explanation of the deletion.

SineBot down?

I noticed two unsigned comments on my user talk page today, and oh boy it IRRITATED ME TO THE POINT I WANTED TO SPIT OUT FIRE! Aside from a visit from the fire department, I assume you are aware that the bot is down and are working on the problem, seeing that you were on earlier today. K6ka (talk | contribs) 00:34, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

@K6ka: totally didn't see it, but back up now. It looks like it gave up trying to authenticate due to some temporary issue in MediaWiki (probably similar to the one that caused other bots to edit while signed out), as it was authenticating fine but the site wasn't actually reporting the bot as signed in when it went to make edits. Whatever was causing it seems to be fixed now. Thanks for the heads up =) --slakr 04:05, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
It appears the bot is down again, as it hasn't edited in a few hours (as of this writing). --k6ka (talk | contribs) 02:13, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Sinebot weird edit

An anon posted a comment of '' on a talk page and the bot signed it. Probably does not happen too often, but it was odd. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:35, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

GA reviews

I was doing a review on Talk:Obsessed (2009 film)/GA4 and SineBot likes to add my signature after I do a review. I had to block all bots from that page, but for less confusion in the future, can SineBot not edit GA reviews? WooHoo!Talk to me! 02:30, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Swimming with Dolphins

Hello,

I have just read the deletion archive for this page related to the musical project and wanted to ask why it was deleted though. It was stated in the archive that Adam Young was the sole member of the project but that is not true, the project was created by Austin Tofte and Adam Young, but only Austin Tofte was left and the project is still ongoing.

It can be seen here that the project is still ongoing: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/swimming-with-dolphins-catharsis

An interview with Austin Tofte related to the new album: http://www.bluefreedomblog.org/2013/09/this-album-saves-dolphins-interview.html

Some stroopwafels for you!

Thanks for barnstar - I have spruced up Viktor ... but he is still not a DYK. We have 5 days to make it so. Intriguing for me is that he lived in Vinohrady which I have have written several DYKs for because there are QRpedia codes there as part of Praguepedia. Thanks for the thanks Victuallers (talk) 21:32, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Your experience of "Article Protection" Pages

Hi User:Slakr: During the last week I had noticed a large amount of reverting and disruptive editing taking place on the Barack Obama by a single user:TBS who is trying to blank out the "Legacy" section there. On looking closer to send a disruptive editing message to that User:TBS, I then noticed that his/her Talk page was already on edit warring notices from other editors. After that, I looked at the Obama Talk page and discovered that User:TBS had opened four (4) contentious new sections there to do the section blanking on the Obama "Legacy" section. Apparently this single User:TBS has little regard for the amount of other editors time which is being used up in this section blanking effort by User:TBS. Since you have more experience than most on wikipages that are already on "Article Protection" status, I thought you might glance at this. Below is posted the sequences of diffs for disruptive edits made by User:TBS from the Edit History page there. Finally, User:TBS found one editor over the weekend to agree and decided to call it a "Consensus", and then proceeded to blank out the section against the "Article Protection" status. Could you glance at this.
