 | Regardingslakr: Why did my page get deleted? Please seeWikipedia:Why was my page deleted? first. I have no idea what you're talking about. What'svandalism? 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 yourIP 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 notvandalism, don't fret-- simply drop me a message below, because I could have simply made a silly mistake. :) RegardingSineBot: Why doesSineBot keep signing stuff I've already signed? All comments should havea signature that includesboth a link to your user page (slakr) and a datestamp (05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)) (persignatures - internal links). This is most easily generated by placing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your contributions, which makes something like "slakr05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)".[reply] If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simplyopting out of automatic signing. If you're still having problems after trying that, post a message below. Be sure to includediffs to make sure I can reference the problem.I don't want my comments signed bySineBot. How do I get it to ignore me or my talk page? Please use one of the opt-out methods listed onits user page. SineBot forgot to sign something it should have signed. Usually this happens because the bot isn't sure if it reallyshould 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 includediffs 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. Openyour preferences, click the "User profile" tab, make sure that "Treat the above as wiki markup" isNOT 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 simplyopting out of automatic signing. |

Hello! I noticed you're a bot operator, so I thought you might be interested in a hackathon we're organizing: theWikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026, on 13–14 March in Arnhem, Netherlands.
It's a two-day, technically oriented hackathon bringing together Wikimedians from the region. Whether you want to work on bot frameworks, tools, or other technical projects, this could be a great opportunity to collaborate with fellow developers. Registration closes mid-January or when full. Let me know if there are any questions. Hope to see you there!Daanvr (talk)23:21, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It would appear as if SineBot is down. Because as @Sugar Tax noted, the bot hasn’t edited since January 1st. A link to the diff is on SineBot’s talk page.Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page!19:52, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
SineBot keeps signing comments left byAnonymsiy (talk ·contribs), see e.g.Talk:Ganymede_(moon)#Request_to_process_the_True_color_of_these_Galileo_images. Their signature looks like this:
[[User:Anonymsiy|<spanstyle="color:green;">'''anonymsiy.user'''</span>]] 20:46, 20 January 2026 (UTC)anonymsiy.user 20:46, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Slakr! Hope you are doing well. I wanted to let you know that aftera recent ArbCom motion, page protections areautomatically logged, so you no longer need to do this manually. SeeWikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/Protections § About this page for exact details.
I am reaching out as a fellow admin, not as an arb; you are absolutely not in trouble :)
