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 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 If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago.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.

Changing the Protection on the Feng Shui

Hello,

Can you please tell me why you have lifted the protection on the Feng Shui page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sedonafengshui (talkcontribs) 19:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC) --Sedonafengshui (talk) 20:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

It was originally protected due to an edit war, which has since seemed to have died down. Per our protection policy, the protection was removed. --slakr 20:21, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

The only reason the edit war stopped was because of the protection. If you read the discussion board you will see that there is no consensus on this page. Removing the protection without consensus will only lead to more problems. I would request that you review the discussion page and put this page back under protection until consensus is reached. Thank you. --216.19.43.241 (talk) 05:00, 22 August 2008 (UTC)--Sedonafengshui (talk) 05:01, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome to request that, but they'll probably tell you the same thing I have. --slakr 15:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

User requesting unblock who is affected by your rangeblock

See User_talk:Florin92. He may have been hit by a rangeblock that you placed. You may want to comment on his User talk. I did not want to give him any advice without consulting you first. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 18:01, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

(un)Blocking of Opera Mini servers

Hi!

I work for Opera Software as system administrator for Opera Mini.

I understand you have blocked users from Opera Mini server IPs from editing Misplaced Pages due to abuse.

To address this issue, I've now had our IP ranges added to the XFF project (we were already forwarding the x-forwarded-for header).

The Opera Mini Demo application specifically mentioned in your block will have a unique IP in it's x-forwarded-for header, and can be permanently blacklisted. It's not intended for regular use, only as a test-drive of the product.

I have verified that the addresses are listed in http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/trusted-xff.txt.

But still, I get blocked from some of our IPs, but not others. Are only parts or the ranges blocked, or are not all Misplaced Pages servers using the same configuration?

Please contact me (kronberg (at) opera.com) to resolve this as soon as possible, or direct me to someone who can help. Since these servers are not normal web proxies, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go through the normal process for unblocking an open proxy.

Regards,

//Mats Operamk (talk) 18:54, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Cool. I'll drop you an email in a second, but I figured I'd reply here just in case. Since it looks like you've placed the demo on 195.189.142.176, and Ryulong has already blocked that one; and, on top of that, all of the XFF stuff is in place now, I've now unblocked 195.189.142.0/23 and 91.203.96.0/22. Those were the two ranges that I think I was originally able to proxy through using the demo. Anyway, thanks a million for your help, and keep up the great work. :) Cheers. =) --slakr 22:07, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't appear to be excessive enough to warrant automatic semi protection for the time being, though the user is free to request it him/herself as per our protection policy. --slakr 02:32, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, it declined to semi-protect Aleenf1's profile. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.96.110.167 (talk) 07:25, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Keenyah Hill

Hi Slakr, Can you please lock the page of Keenyah Hill (America's Next Top Model, Cycle 4 third placer) for full-protection to recreate the article again. Which it was deleted back in November 2006. --ApprenticeFan (talk) 15:49, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Sinebot mis-sign

Just thought I'd let you know that Sinebot signed a message on an AFD vote I made, which had a date and a link to my userpage. Here is my signature:

{{SUBST:User|Byeitical}}

Diff: — ] (] · ]) 17:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

That's because your signature is malformed. You have two colons preceding each wikilink (e.g., "::User:Byeitical"). Technically speaking, this denotes a page in the article namespace called ":User:Byeitical"; however, Mediawiki will still guess and render the link correctly because there is no article named that (yet). Remove the two preceding colons and all will be well in the world. Alternatively, simply opt out of auto-signing. --slakr 19:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
