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)

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.

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)

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.

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)

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.

Error

diff, I signed ;\ --- DarthRahn(^u/_t\^c) 12:46, May 10, 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)

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. --slakr^\ talk / 00:48, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

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. --slakr^\ talk / 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)

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,Je t Lover (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. :\ --slakr^\ talk / 04:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Please do not follow me around to every talk page I comment on and sign my name. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.210.248.112 (talk) 00:13, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Please see your user talk page for a reply. --slakr^\ talk / 20:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Stop

Can you please stop putting that unsigned thing on my images on my sandbox discussion.Swirlex 19:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Usually sandboxes aren't in the User talk: namespace, but rather the User: namespace. However, if you would like the bot to ignore a particular page, please see its user page for opt out instructions. --slakr^\ talk / 20:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Cheers for telling me about that signing thing, so i think its only fair that this is the first page that i actually do it on!! --Brain 8915 22:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)Brian 8915 xxx

Thanks, but no thanks.

Sinebot signed a comment on my page that was already signed. It has now been removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidFarmbrough (talk • contribs) 13:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Good work on the "undated" thing

I'm impressed to see how SineBot handles three-tilde sigs now. Thanks for doing that. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 04:51, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Guido Avesnes 15:29, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I, however, despise it. When I choose to leave a comment undated, I do it for a very specific reason. It's rare but it is intentional. I dislike your bot overriding my judgment. Please SHUT THAT FUNCTION DOWN! Rossami (talk) 15:59, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

While I understand your concerns, the consensus is that that functionality is a good thing. Please see the FAQ for opting out instructions if you personally disapprove. --slakr^\ talk / 12:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Dating comment -- Please WB ASAP!!!

Can you please do me a favor and not do that??? I wrote my username, date and time!!!

Hmm... I'll try to add this strange datestamp in an upcoming revision. --slakr^\ talk / 12:34, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks For the Information!!!

Thank you for the information, but another editor is insulting myself and its said that I don't speak English just because I made some mistakes at some articles, please do something to stop him! --Charlie White 23:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Sinebot

I just wanted to say I love your work. I tend to forget my signature sometimes, and your always there to make it better. Thanks!

What happens if I only sign with the time? 03:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

EDIT: Aha! Looks like I outsmarted you, little Sinebot. Try this one out → 04:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)Rocket000

Picture

Thank you SineBot for using a picture I created on your user page. I thought I was the only one to have looked at it... but I really like it! Auroranorth 12:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

What part of "sod off" don't you understand?![7] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hesperian (talk • contribs) 06:43, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Oooh, classy response. Hesperian 06:47, 12 October 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))

Actually, it checks for !nosign! (with exclamation points). Check out its user page for more opt out methods. Cheers =) --slakr^\ talk / 17:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Super, thanks! Hesperian 05:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Do we really need to add a whole new section to add his religion?

Can't we mention it somewhere in the body of the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.222.159 (talk) 03:14, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info on signing.I knew that,but someties my keyboard doesn't work and the buttonm does not either.Coolgirly88 13:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Greetings.It is very kind of you to asist me. This is new and like all new tasks the jargon and methods will take time to learn. I entered a number of additions which appear to have been struck down. Any assistance I can get I very much appreciate. Thanks again.--WingateChristopher 01:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

O.K,yo,My signature when I prees the thing the code for it comes up like you know a fancy sig?Thats the problem.And yes,I knew —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolgirly88 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Opt-out

I cannot opt-out if I do not have a login as I cannot create my own user page to put an opt-out category or template on it. 64.122.14.55 17:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Signature problem

Hi SineBot, I have a problem with my signature. Each time I sign my username with four tildes, (S.C.Ruffeyfan 19:09, 27 October 2007 (UTC)) it has my real name clickable. Why is this? S.C.Ruffeyfan

Sinebot is sexy

well duh —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.220.106.25 (talk) 12:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for picking up on my missed signature at WT:CLINMED - I could not undertand what was occuring as I got an edit conflict when I tried then adding it and also correct the spelling for the thread. Decided to leave my faux pas that you kindly corrected :-) David Ruben ^Talk 01:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your notification.

Thanks for reminding my to sign my posts whenever I contribute to a discussion thread. However, I did know to do that already; I just figured that when you're contributing to a list, it doesn't matter as much. But if you'd rather that I sign my posts at all times, even when it was just one more icon added in, I'd be more than happy to comply with that! Wilhelmina Will 01:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.

I must admit that I still do not understand everything about this website so I appreciate any useful information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M5891 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Signshare

You are so stupid, I named my section Signshare, which means I did sign and plus I wasn't finished and I had just written two paragraphs and you ruin that to make me sign my name after my comment, which I did, I got this so you leave my sections, except this one alone. If my name is on the top of a section it means that only myself and the user should edit NOT you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Signshare (talk • contribs) 20:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I forgot!

I'm sorry I forgot to sign my name and comment in Talk:Iggy Arbuckle. I was just so excited by the prospect of getting something done about the problems I mentioned, that I didn't notice that one key factor was still missing! Once again, sorry! Wilhelmina Will 01:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

In case you did not know

There are hundreds of these annoying rascal bots roaming wikipedia and being annoying. Do we REALLY need another? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.238.179.195 (talk) 08:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes. --AutorespondToCommentsBot 03:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC) just kidding. it's me. :P slakr^\ talk / 03:30, 7 November 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. No reply needed; just some feedback. --Elvey 01:05, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

hi mr bot

hi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.130.26.74 (talk) 02:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

auto addition of date

If this isnt optional, why is there a choice of signing method. Please stop signing my edits Sandpiper —Preceding comment was added at 19:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

addaed date stamp

sorry, but you did it again. Please do not add unnecessary date stamps to articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandpiper (talk • contribs) 20:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

re recent response on my talk page

Thank you, yes I did. If signing was compulsory, why is it necessary for editors to type the relevant sigils onto the end of an edit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandpiper (talk • contribs) 20:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

THANK YOU

Thank you from Rianon, I'm still learning how to use this website, but I love it!!!! Don't worry about those other people, I guess some just don't have any patience. I really apreciate your comments and suggestions....

Rianon 20:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Question

Can you help me with my page, I don't know how to put pictures up or design it. Can you help me please................ :)

--Rianon 20:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

You might check out info about wikipedia userpages. --slakr^\ talk / 20:54, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

hey Sinebot !

Thanks for helping me out with the signature. Appreciate it !

Have a great week to you.

--PATRICK RIBBSAETER (talk) 15:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Templates

You shouldn't be sending signature templates to experienced suers, especially as my problem is signing with the wrong number of squiggles a couple of times today, leaving just the date stamp. Please do not send me or any experienced user silly templates like this in the future, it is unacceptable. Thanks, SqueakBox 21:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Something it should not have signed...

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. I know I can opt out if you don't want to fix this bug, but fixing it would be better. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

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)

Sorry SineBot

I always do such nonsense . Thank u to remind my fault. I always miss to sign. You are correct.Happy new year to you --Dralansun (talk) 15:25, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
