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.

Recreate jits bodunaxa as xpq -> en redirect_en_redirect-20220825140700">

Hi! Many years ago I created an insufficiently detailed article about Jits Bodunaxa, which you rightly nominated for deletion. Since that same person now has a proper article about her, I think it would be appropriate to recreate the page as a redirect. I think a redirect under this spelling of her name is appropriate because it is the spelling used in the title of Modern Mohegan: The Dialect of Jits Bodunaxa. Since this book was the first I heard of her, I think it's quite likely that people finding it for the first time will search it in Misplaced Pages to find out more, and currently that search finds nothing. I would add this name to her page, but it is already there under a different orthographic system. ave mathju at ase manoya (talk) 14:07, 25 August 2022 (UTC)_en_redirect"> _en_redirect">

@Ave matthew: Jits bodunaxa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) wasn't sent to WP:AFD; it was speedily deleted, so you're likely free to recreate it as a redirect to the destination article if you feel it applies. Sorry for the late reply. --slakr 18:57, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
I have "recreated" it, although I realized while doing so that I made an error in the original page, as the B should be capitalized. I think when I originally made the page I didn't realize Misplaced Pages had case sensitive page titles. So, I have actually created it under Jits Bodunaxa using the "From an alternative language" template.
No problem with the slow reply, look how long it took me to get around to appropriately remedying the error on my part! ave mathju at ase manoya (talk) 15:06, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

SineBot signing addition to list

Hey! I noticed that in this edit SineBot added a signature to something that was just an addition to a list in a comment. I don't think the bot should've done this since the comment is already signed. ― Blaze WolfBlaze Wolf#6545 21:48, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Was speaking with SineBot but I needed to talk to you personally

@Slakr Hi! Only wanted to check how to add content to a protected page, or request it to be added by someone else as I find it extremely important to be added in the protected page. I was looking to add in the See Also section, the actress Tunisha Sharma's suicide, but in Sushant Singh Rajput's high profile suicide case (Internationally recognized) I saw a protection button which I could not infiltrate. Please help. I did add Sushant Singh Rajput in Tunisha Sharma's page. These are extremely popular Indian celebrities affecting different age groups, Tunisha was very popular in teen crowd and male crowds. While Sushant was Internationally acclaimed actor. Personally, I am devastated by these stories and cannot not think of helping Indian celebrities more and more, whatever it takes. To honor their contribution in my life.

@ SpottedCheetah
I added a request to Misplaced Pages:Help desk / April 30 / Misplaced Pages:Help desk #Edit request to a blocked page.

Call the SineBot's attention?

Once in a while I've come across a contribution which was not signed, e.g. from 2007, on Talk:Hinterland.

Is there a way to call the bot's attention to a specific contribution or talk page like with a template?
