ON one own's Talk page

Unless there is a new standard recently made, signing one own's Talk page is not neccessary. At least up until now. LanceBarber 17:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Bug?

I added some text to HagermanBot's talk page expecting SineBot to step up to the plate. You did, but you described my edit as "signed but undated" when in fact it was unsigned as well as undated. RossPatterson 22:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm assuming that was due to the fact that "SineBot has stepped up to the task" could, in a way, be the kind of thing to appear in a signature. In fact, I'm willing to guess that if the line didn't start with "SineBot", it would be classed as unsigned. Let's give it a test, shall we?

It would appear that SineBot has stepped up to the task.

...And it hasn't been signed at all. Okay, then I give in. Still, keep up the good work SineBot! :) --Dreaded Walrus t c 09:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Opt out without category

I followed the instructions on {{Bots}} to protect my own pages, but the bot will still sign updates to pointers, {{userlinks}}, etc. on other pages if the category is not added to them.

Please provide a one-edit opt-out

This bot just added a lengthy signature to a table I am creating on a talk page. This makes it very difficult to follow. I am opting out entirely; but I would prefer to have a method that did not waste limited summary space. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Please do. I supposedly opted out of the this adjective bot, and it's still spamming my talkpage. This is after the alleged fix. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:16, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

True love

I love you SineBot! I miss Hagermanbot and am very happy that you have stepped up to fill its shoes. --ElKevbo 02:53, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. With all the negative comments you've been getting (and the frankly silly "vandalism" warnings given above even after explaining to him), I figured you could use a little praise. I am useless at adding the timestamp to unsigned templates, so you do it for me. Thanks! :) --Dreaded Walrus t c 03:08, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I don't know what the guy's problem is. He's now flat refusing to use the opt-out option. Great work on the bot, though. -- Ned Scott 07:17, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Not true love

Just a warning Ned, I'd stop accusing others of having "problems" if I were you. It isn't that hard to be civil, and attacking me, [2], [3], just makes the matter worse. Last I checked, this category case wasn't a requirement, see here. Lord Sesshomaru 07:29, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

One, your two examples don't show me being uncivil, two, you're freaking out for no good reason. -- Ned Scott 07:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Signed but undated

Hello SineBot. I noticed here that you signed for someone and added the date, but not the username. You said it was 'Signed but undated', but the comment was not signed at all in the first place. I don't know if that's a situation you want to cater for, but even if the non-signing was intentional (per #3 above), you may wish to provide a different comment, thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:22, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Or here. Suggest a little more sandboxing with this bot ;) The Evil Spartan 21:20, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
This is mainly due to people having a [[User:link]] in their last added line, so the bot simply assumes that they're signing (mainly because when we tried to verify the link belonging to the signer, we ran in the issues with people having really funky cross-page signatures, so we moved toward that generic approach. However, since {{undated}}, as a template, is funky, I went ahead and simply disabled its use for now. Sure, it'll be redundant to include the user AND the date (should a post simply be undated), but at least we won't run into this problem again.
If you have other issues/problems, please don't post them here; instead use my talk page. --slakr (talk) 07:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Broken bot

Your bot is stalking me, marking my edits as "unsigned" when in fact they are. Why don't you turn this thing off?

Thanks Cleduc 18:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC) (soon to be marked "unsigned")

"Me too!" Eaglizard 19:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
They are being marked as unsigned because according to the signature guidelines, a signature must contain a link to either your talk page, or your userpage, at absolute minimum. Which yours doesn't. --Dreaded Walrus t c 00:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
1) They're guidelines. 2) if there isn't a link, that doesn't mean it's "unsigned" -- it means there isn't a link. So add a link if it's all that important. Bots are supposed to improve things, not screw them up -- and if it screws stuff up, the bot is broken. Cleduc 01:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
You shouldn't have to opt out of malfunctioning malware like this. Note: several comments of mine have been mangled. According to WP:BOTS#Good form it is the responsibility of the bot operator to go fix the problems. So I respectfully request that you fix them. And maybe fix your bot... Cleduc 01:56, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
The bot doesn't seem to be malfunctioning. It is rightly designed to mark comments without a signature (with a link to the user or user talk namespace) as unsigned. The easy ways to stop it are to opt out or to leave the raw signature box unchecked in your preferences. WODUP 02:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Wrong. See above. It says "unsigned" when it clearly is not. Cleduc 03:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
He responded to that point in the post you directly responded to. To wit: "It is rightly designed to mark comments without a signature (with a link to the user or user talk namespace) as unsigned." --Dreaded Walrus t c 03:45, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
So, it is my fault he designed his bot poorly? And I am supposed to fix his mess? Policy says bot owners fix bot messes. Cleduc 05:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
The bot works fine. You've both added yourself to Category:Users who have opted out of automatic signing and added a link to your userpage in your signatures to comply with WP:SIG#Internal_links, so there shouldn't be any more problems. Cheers! WODUP 05:47, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm addressing the bot owner, not you. In any case, he hasn't repaired the damage his bot has done. Cleduc 06:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Alright; just trying to help. The bot operator did reply to your message here. WODUP 06:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Response

There are two huge boxes at the top of this talk page. The very first sentence of the first huge box (that is, Frequently Asked Question #1) solves this issue, because it's a non-issue. Second, there's another huge box at the top of the talk page with an admonishing red warning icon that explicitly asks that all problems/bugs be reported to me so that I can address them as quickly as possible. If anyone has any other questions/concerns related to the bot, please check the FAQ first (again, at the top of this page), then drop by my talk page if that doesn't solve anything. Cheers. --slakr (talk) 07:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Treatment of commented signatures

I'm wondering how you, SineBot, handle hidden-by-commenting signatures. For instance, this you would ignore if it was properly formatted (referring to the big box at the top): --~~~~. However, how would you handle this: <!-- --~~~~ --> ? Thanks for the information. (have tried running a test in your Sandbox with inconclusive results) --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:50, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, actually you caught it on a technicality. It thought you were messing around with commented contribs (I saw you doing that while I was doing some development work) :P. It should be okay now. Be sure to use my talk page in the future. --slakr(talk) 00:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
OK - I just did a test right after yours and it did not recognize the commented sig as a sig. Thanks. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Right, and it worked. :P --slakr(talk) 02:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

What?!?

What?!?
You mean to tell me that a bot that was engineered to sign names doesn't have the signiture of the man whose name has become synonomous with signitures!?

To do lists

Please don't sign items on to do lists. Thank you. – Ilse@ 14:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

You're Stalking Me Aren't You?

Usually you sign unsigned comments fast, like on me for example before I can correct them. You do so very quickly. However, I then noticed one editor who hadn't signed. I was about to sign them but I was dealing with vandalism that took about 2 - 3 minutes. I then go to put a substunsigned up for them and POW! edit conflict! How do you time that?!? (Seriously though; nice work.) :P -WarthogDemon 06:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

LOL! :D. You're probably talking about a page that's in the bot's high priority list because it's frequently modified. Unsigned edits to pages/subpages matching those masks will be signed by the bot as soon as possible to avoid edit conflicts. All other normal talk pages have a 90 second "oops" delay.
... but yes-- it's stalking you. I'm not supposed to say anything, though, because it'll probably get mad at me. But, between you and me, it tends to do that when it has a crush on someone. Is love in the air? Are wikihearts flying: <3 ? :P --slakr(talk) 19:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
o_o;;; Maybe. But I just got SineBot back: [5]. Two minutes pass and it doesn't tag it's own speedy sandbox? For shame, Bot! For shame! :D -WarthogDemon 20:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Problems

This bot is causing great irritation on this talk page. If it isn't resolved, I'm going to block it. Raul654 01:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Blocking isn't necessary, at the bot isn't malfunctioning. However, if it is, please provide diffs so that I can look into the problem. There are plenty of ways for users and talk pages to opt out of autosigning, as is apparent on the bot's user page and the frequently asked questions section on this page. In the future, please contact me on my talk page when reporting potential problems (as is also requested above) so that I can more quickly address them. --slakrtalk / 17:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Error

diff, I signed ;\ --- DarthRahn(u/t\c) 15:52, April 30, 2024 (UTC)

DarthRahn, the code that you're using is not a valid timestamp. It changes with each page visit and does not reflect the time when you made your post. You try could using something like {{subst:CURRENTTIME}} for a normal timestamp, but even after that the SineBot (and some archiving bots as well) will probably not recognize it because of those links (which are imho totally unnecessary) ∴ Alex Smotrov 18:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Too bad. I use {{subst:time}} --- DarthRahn(u/t\c) 15:52, April 30, 2024 (UTC)

lol, this bot just signed the comment ;) --- DarthRahn(u/t\c) 21:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, well, on the upside at least there's a delay in the first place. :P That's the main reason that was added-- being able to revert vandalism or spam without having to worry about reverting to the bot's signing of the vandalism comment-- just so long as you catch within a couple minutes. I would increase the limit, but it would probably end up causing redundant msg notification boxes and actual edit conflicts whereby the comment won't get signed at all, both of which I figure are more annoying than having to do reverts via page history for the minority of comments that are pure vandalism. --slakrtalk / 00:48, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I want some too :)

Hi there, excellent work on the bot, I have seen it in action in a lots of places and I really like it. But how come it never signs my talk page? I had my fair share of unsigned comments on my talk (including the very last one), but never received a visit from SineBot? Is there something I have to do to for SineBot to sign my talk? Regards, --Kudret abi 19:06, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

It already does. It didn't sign that one because the bot thought that {{Asteroid}}, which is likely supposed to be Asteroid, was a template. --slakrtalk / 00:42, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Slakr, thanks for your explanation, but there were also past occasions of unsigned comments on my talk which SineBot did not attend. Anyway, I just left an unsigned comment on my talk to see if SineBot will sign it, I will let you know what happens. --Kudret abi 05:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmm didn't work, but perhaps it won't sign one's own comments on one's own talk. I will request that someone else leave an unsigned comment on my talk and see what happens. --Kudret abi 06:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Ah, it worked! I am so happy, I thought I was outcast for some reason :) Thanks for the help, take care --Kudret abi 06:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

signatures

SineBot and I crossing paths.

Hello, I'd kind of like to report a query. Over the past few days, I dealt with a few vandals going after talk pages. SineBot put his mark and we edit conflicted while I tried to revert. Not to mention that when SineBot does his thing, no one pays any mind. So vandalism can stay for days. I'd like to suggest that maybe it could identify vandalism and maybe report it. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 02:08, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, the bot waits a small delay (~90 seconds) in order to allow vandalism reverts, but I'm thinking I need to bump it to 2 minutes. The downside is that the higher the delay, the greater the likelihood that there will be an edit conflict, and the greater the likelihood that comments will go unsigned. :\ --slakrtalk / 04:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

(Just kidding, slakr. I'm not really upset about it. But seriously, you should get your bot to check edit summaries for a key phrase such as "[nosign]". That way, people who are knowingly posting material, without signing, for good reason, can warn you off in their edit summary. Hesperian 06:47, 12 October 2007 (UTC))

Ha, that was funny. But I recall SineBot (or its predecessor) used to wait a while before butting in. Perhaps that wasn't intentional behaviour, but I recall having a few minutes to finish and sign, and having done so a few times. If you can make it do so, that would be good. P.S.: Yeah, I could leave this on your user page, but really, why not just direct people to leave feedback here? You are monitoring it after all.

This edit by the bot is no good. [9] A signature is a link to a user page and a timestamp, not neccesarily a link to the user page of the person who left the comment.

SineBot bug with edited Talk page entries.

Hi there. In case you didn't know, sometimes people go back and edit their comments on a talk page. When they do that, they don't necessarily resign their edits, it's not really necessary when it's done within a reasonable amount of time. Yet Sinebot apparently sees the edit in the history. This appears to be related to the spacing in the comments as well. I'm adding this sentence (right before a blank line), lets see if Sinebot signs this for me like it has in the past.

So Sinebot, if you see a signature in a thread from that user, please dont try to be so helpful and go to all the trouble of adding the automated signature (usually in the wrong place) and tagging the users talk page. It's a waste of time.--Rtphokie (talk) 00:10, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Your recent edits

Yes, I do know. In fact, I almost always do that. But in regards to the edits you're referring to, I'm copying relevant comments made by other editors to the appropriate peer review pages, in which case I do not want to claim those contributions as my own. Please don't sign those as mine. Thanks. — Cinemaniac (talkcontribs) 20:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Arnold Murray Article

Yes, I did know that four tildes sign my name and no, I do not always do it because I forget to sometimes.

Your comment about admins reading what is written made me laugh. The only thing they did was mindlessly lock the arnold murray article. The version locked is the gutted version which started on 10 Dec 2007.

Then they put a dispute tag on it, lol. What exactly is the dispute? The other person doing this is gone, his version is on the main page. Last I knew, it takes two people to have a dispute.

It is amazing that a person here goes to all the trouble of letting someone know about four tildes but gutted articles are passed over.

The people doing this also gutted the 'roy gilaspie' article because it mentions 'arnold murray'. The article was gutted down to one sentence.

Perhaps they could lock the one sentence version as well, as long as four tildes are used, lol.Tss8071 (talk) 15:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I added a "#" to the Oppose section of Warlordjohncarter's RfA, here. It was purely a formatting edit, consisting of one character - but Sinebot added a signature anyway, here.

Consequences of SineBot

I, like many Wikipedians, try to keep a concise edit history with as few minor edits as possible. Fewer edits means fewer bits to describe the edit history, which means less time loading the edit page, less traffic spent on adding to the edit page, and a more clutter free Wikipedia. Bots like SineBot occupy much of the edit history of a given page rather than contributing, which creates a butterfly effect of bandwidth use as every user viewing any page history must view the same notice for an added signature, exponentially increasing the cost of maintaining Wikipedia until more donation funds are required. Actions from this bot should be considered a loose form of vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.28.156.54 (talk) 18:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

True, but as they say, don't worry about performance. I made extra certain that the bot would not be a bane on system resources/bandwidth. More importantly, it would seem that most editors would rather SineBot eat an extra revision than have to track down who, exactly, made a contribution and when. --slakrtalk / 13:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk page vandalism problem - perhaps a delay?

SineBot makes it harder to roll back talk-page vandalism in the form of inappropriate material with no signature. Because SineBot makes an intervening edit, it is not possible to simply use the rollback button on the vandalism (meaning editors dealing with a stream of talk page vandals must take time-consuming extra steps). Perhaps you could increase the delay before SineBot tags a signature (especially if the comment is from an IP)? Cheers! bd2412 T 05:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

No it's not. The Looney Tunes all exist in other dimensions of our universe; it repeats itself from different perspectives in each galaxy. This means that the characters of South Park, the Simpsons, Futurama, King of the Hill, and Family Guy, and all the other shows we watch on television exist somewhere else. We just have yet to make physical contact with them. It will be done soon, and all those alternate worlds will be explored, and they will explore ours, and I'll finally see him - Ohh! It will be wonderful, when the day comes! Do you not agree? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 23:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Where did you get that idea? If we're an accident caused by a Big Bang, it's highly improbable that a universe should be created where creatures can exist, much less more. If we're created by God, why would he care so much about this universe if he has so many others? Besides, I don't think we'll get to those alternate world. First off, we'd need a ship faster than the speed of light, otherwise it'll be years before we reach the nearest solar system. Second, look at politics. There's a lot of tension in the world, our money will be spent on wars instead of space exploration. In fact, this may lead to a nuclear holocaust, and all our technology will be destroyed as a result. Finally, will it really be so wonderful when we get there? Maybe they'll be having a nuclear holocaust and their planet won't be a fun place to visit. --69.234.198.52 (talk) 21:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Well we aren't an accident. We are created by God. And God is everywhere. He is standing in the room where I am when I write this, and at the same time, He is in the room you are in at that moment. So of course, He would be able to pay as much attention to other universes as He does ours. But I was not talking about other universes, I was talking about our universe being divided into parts, all of which are replays of each other. By mentality, some of us are connected to some of these worlds. For instance, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are mentally connected to the dimension in which exists South Park, therefore, they are able to write about what goes on there. Matt Groening is connected to the dimensions in which Futurama and The Simpsons exist, therefore, he is able to document what happens over there. And there are probably hidden ways in which we can get to these worlds and dimensions, without the use of a speedy starship. If you have watched the Star Trek series, or any of its spin-offs, you might know of the theory of wormholes in space leading from one place to another. We just have to pinpoint them; that's all. It seems, however, that I am the only one in our dimension, who wants to try. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 00:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, I suppose that would explain why Christ hasn't returned to our dimension yet. But you'll need a little more evidence to persuade me about all these other "parts" of "our" universe. There are so many things a planet needs to support life, and so many ways life can kill itself in the meantime.--69.234.212.126 (talk) 16:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Sinebot does not have a crush on you. I happen to know for a fact that she is already in a long term relationship with the office stapling machine. Sinebot was given this job to stop her causing trouble with Jimbo Wales' chequebook. And you can't get me with WP:BIO for revealing all this as I am not writing about a living person. Sinebot, please sign on the dotted line ......................................... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spinningspark (talkcontribs) 14:58, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Give me a break. I don't think Bots can be attracted to anything, and if they can, a relationship between a stapler and a bot would be bestiality, right? At any rate, I don't think there are genetic similarities enough for them to produce offspring. I think those staples are a result of parthenogenesis.--69.234.178.247 (talk) 17:18, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the valuable suggestions. --202.164.134.254 (talk) 16:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I find the thought of a human-computer code robot relationship very interesting. :) Perhaps, Redyva, SineBot just wants to be loved? vıdıoman 03:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

In case you know

i did sign my name but its in the discussion area of battle of thymbra! were i put the incomplete Xenophons account a greek historian, and he has a seperate version from the sometimes ficticious accounts of Herodotus.

SineBot's edit summary for signing anonymous users' comments

Anonymous users should not have a user page. In cases of reverting and signatures on talk pages, the IP address is usually linked to their contributions page. I suggest that SineBot's edit summary for anons link to their contributions instead of their user page. --209.244.43.112 (talk) 18:18, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Uh-huh, yeah. I don't know of any politer way to put this, so: "In case you didn't notice, your signature does link to your contributions page." Sorry. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 22:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
209.244.43.112 said, "I suggest that SineBot's edit summary for anons link to their contributions instead of their user page." The IP address mentioned in the edit summary does indeed link to the IP's user page, not its contributions page. I think you should read carefully before belittling others. --Bowlhover 02:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

This robot must be stopped

I have reason to believe that the SineBot has reprogrammed itself to take over the planet. While I agree with much of its reasoning in doing so, I fear that to place our destiny in the hands of a piece of software may well prove disastrous in the long run. Also, I'm thirsty. 24.186.190.202 (talk)

Somehow this user has discovered our plan. Now we must assimilate him into our collective --SineBot 23:30, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. Resistance is futile. --slakrtalk / 23:30, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know if this robot can take over the world. It doesn't seem possible, considering that it's impossible to control Watts and LA. Too much racism-caused violence, a problem they say is all over the world, will eliminate any short unity this world has. Let it try-its attempts will end when some Muslim thinks he should destroy an 'infidel' who has taken control of the world.--69.234.183.233 (talk) 16:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Malfunctioning?

Although one of my sub-talkpages has the {{nobot}} template, your bot signed. This hasn't happened before. – sgeureka t•c 20:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Never mind. I'll be trying {{NoAutosign}} like you suggested on your bot's userpage. – sgeureka t•c 15:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
{{nobot}} isn't supported, as it is a convenient typo redirect to {{bots}}. {{nobots}} will work, though, since that's in the "official" functionality of the {{bots}} template. --slakrtalk / 13:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Must be a tough life being a bot. With only your so-called "Master" as rare company (hope he at least treats you well), you work tirelessly against the ever growing tide of unsigned messages, without as little as taking a minute off, just to pause, perhaps, in the middle of a vast bit field, climb a B-tree and, while all the B's are still asleep, admire the stars of the digital sky, enjoy the ones and zeroes of the digital wind gently brushing against your signature lines... But, on the other hand, you have a purpose in life. A noble goal to make our common home a tidier and cleaner place. Not every one of us, carbon based lifeforms is fortunate enough to have such a goal or focused enough to pursue it so selflessly and single-mindedly! :raises digital hat: --Illythr (talk) 11:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Re why is it unconstructive

It's unconstructive because it doesn't provide any verifiable information from a reliable source. I could set up a similar Facebook group called "I bet I can find a million people who love Heather Mills"; it would be meaningless.

Help with the Harvard Extension article

It's hard to create a balanced article when there are trolls bent on demeaning the school's reputation. They are constantly overstating some of the things they find to be unworthy of a higher institution like Harvard. They cite material from the website but it's usually taken out of context and used for demeaning purposes. It's hard to explain unless you are a student of the school but they make it plain obvious that they're aren't. The talk page has gone totally bonkers and its turned into a spat usually found on College Confidential or Auto Admit. Is there anything that you can do to clean it up.

Also, there is this person who is constantly editing without making a statement about it on the talk page. His name is AVECAESAR. Firstinline2009 (talk) 05:33, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry for not signing a comment that I had left on the discussion page for the article on the Holocaust (TV miniseries). I normally do sign comments that I leave but after I left my comment, I went immediately to the Amazon site to get the information on the miniseries DVD Release for the article. I will try to remember to sign my comments in the near future each and every time I leave one.

Thanks though. Frschoonover (talk) 02:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
