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 If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago.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

Regarding slakr: Why did my page get deleted?
Please see Wikipedia: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. |

Howdy. As a new administrator, I stumbled on an unblock request from a user account that was blocked by IP. Details are here. I initially enabled "Anon only" on the block, but then reverted after reading the policy about open proxies. I'd like to make a suggestion though. Could you please have ProcseeBot use some sort of "Report unblock requests here" type message in the block rationale in the future? It would've saved me the confusion.--v/r - TP 01:46, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Question
In view of your earlier statement (and what little I may know of you in regards to your desire to not be involved in arbitration stuff), I've asked you a question at the MickMacNee case workshop; the question is in response to the comment you made there. Regards, Ncmvocalist (talk) 09:32, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- And I've asked a follow up (hopefully it's distilled enough so that there is no lack of clarity in what I am trying to ascertain). Ncmvocalist (talk) 01:07, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- I have left you with a response there which may be of relevance in the future. Unless you wish to clarify anything you've said earlier, I have no further questions. Thank you for your responses and I'll leave it at that. Ncmvocalist (talk) 06:47, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Coat of Arms of Nepal file on wikimedia needs to be replaced
Hi,
Thanks for your kind note on my talk page. I am new to editing Wikipedia and I am mainly interested in working on materials related to Nepal. Currently (and actually for about a year now) I am trying to upgrade the .svg image of the Coat of Arms of Nepal (Image). I even uploaded an upgraded version of the .svg file last summer but at some point later on an administrator took off the new image. I also uploaded a .gif file which was converted to .png by another user. This image (fortunately) has not been taken down image.
The continued use of this inaccurate image is particularly bothering because almost everyone on the Internet seems to be using the current image.
Also, it seems I can't re-upload the upgraded version of the file because it has already faced deletion once. Therefore I thought of asking you for help.
Thanks a lot for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely PraShree (talk) 04:16, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- This matter has been resolved (almost). Thanks. PraShree (talk) 23:39, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Charge Bikes page
Hi, just trying to understand how to have my page not deleted in future. I read up on making it objective and about information and including external references etc. however, it was still deleted, reason given that it was blatant advertising however there was not even a logo included, there was an extensive and accurate history of the brand and a brief objective introduction. There was no text designed to be advertising the brand. There are many pages of other bicycle companies that are constructed in a similar style and these have not been deleted. Please elaborate so that I don't make the same mistake again. Thanks (JamesC85 (talk) 08:35, 7 July 2011 (UTC))

- With regard to Jeff Harris (soldier), especially in this instance, the page must meet the biographies of living persons policy or it will be deleted. It must contain sources, on the page, and all negative statements should be unquestionably sourced. Also, if the reason the person is notable is because of their involvement in a single, widely-publicized event, then and article should be created for the event and not the person. --slakr\ talk / 00:19, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
What absolute crap... if you had let me finish the article, then there could have been sources for the statements.
