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?
Ideally, please 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 If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago.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 :)
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. :)
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.
Please take a moment to review and update your status at the membership page. If you have been semi-inactive, we would love to have you back in action!
If you have not already, you may want to consider adding Wikipedia:BAG/Status to your watchlist, it is a bot generated list of all in progress requests.
Thank you! — xaosfluxTalk 23:32, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Spam blacklist log
Slakr, do you think Procseebot could check hits on the spam-blacklist log (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/spamblacklist&type=spamblacklist&user=) and check IPs that hit more than XX times in the last YY edits (5 in 100 or so)? The log becomes quite useless because of IPs continuously hitting the blacklist filter (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&offset=&limit=500&type=spamblacklist&user=175.44.5.169&page=&tagfilter=&hide_thanks_log=1&hide_patrol_log=1&hide_tag_log=1&hide_review_log=1 - 0 edits, between 2500 and 3000 hits on the blacklist). I blocked the editor today .. guess that tomorrow it is another IP. --Dirk BeetstraTC 13:57, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
It appears that the AbuseFilter is tested after the blacklist .. no log entries there. --Dirk BeetstraTC 10:34, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
Balkan topics
Crovata still continues to vandalize articles on Balkans topics and edit warring on them. --198.105.117.74 (talk) 16:23, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
See Talk:Kanasubigi#Etymology, and that's the 4th revert by the IP, after 5 reverts by IP 109.234.157.99. The edit summary, editing style, and information they push is the same as those of the socks by User:PavelStaykov who edited related articles. These days several articles had the same activity because of no protection, or if had a user account was made, for example see User talk:500ГОДИНИСТИГАТ.--Crovata (talk) 18:10, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Now showed up third IP 125.212.216.201, by which edit summary is it obvious to be related or following the recent activity by other IPs on related articles.--Crovata (talk) 10:11, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
Sinebot signed in an article
I've never seen this before. The bot made edits three times in an article. Probably something goofy in the article or GIGO issue, but just in case. Bgwhite (talk) 06:59, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
That would explain it. In all the years I've been here, I still sometimes forget to sign. Thank you for your bot and correcting my brain farts. Bgwhite (talk) 04:18, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
SineBot
I suggest adding {{uw-sign}} when automaticly signing so people know that they should sign in the first place. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 20:51, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
