I usually have warnings disabled, because 95% of what I revert are IP edits and I don't see a sense in warning an IP. Most of them have only done exact the one edit I revert. So I try to activate warnings when I revert something a registered user did, but that relies on me checking the user name. If it isn't to much work, can you implement an option to only issue a warning if the user is a registered one? Or maybe give a visual feedback if the editor is register or an IP, like a red frame or something? -- Windharp ( talk) 12:29, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Persistent vandals should definitely be warned. The case of an IP that makes a single edit is an interesting one suitable for A/B testing, similar to the A/B test on warning wording. Vandals can reform but they can also enjoy provoking. There is also the chance that the next user of the IP address will be someone totally different (Andrew has attempted to deal with that by putting a time limit on IP warnings, but it doesn't remove the possibility). The test would probably be attached to Huggle (That was how the warning test worked so the infrastructure should be in place). For vandal reverts where there was no previous edits, the test would only warn 50% of IPs, creating two sets of IPs. The test would look for differences in the number of following edits that were vandalism and the number of following edits that were not vandalism.
Perhaps an A/B test of single IPs would be a good suggestion for the vandalism studies people. They seem open to suggestion.
Or maybe we should suggest it to the editor engagement experiments people who did the warning-wording trial.

I've been on Wikipedia for a while now and was wondering if I could use Stiki. I revert using Twinkle and even with permission will for most of my vandal reverts. Thanks ♠♥♣Shaun9876♠♥♣ Talk Email 00:31, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Good morning to all! This might be of interest. Sincerely, -- Gareth Griffith-Jones ( GG-J's Talk) 10:08, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, i would love to be granted permission to use this tool. I update football statistics and other sport related stats and have helped cleared up vandalism and i thought it was time i got my own account so i would be grateful to be able to use this superb tool. Thanks, Telfordbuck ( talk) 16:44, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
Excellent start here, as I agree with your reasoning on all examples. I'd like to see a few more cases, though. Please concentrate on the *borderline* cases. Blatant vandalism is rarely something anyone has difficulty with. Six more examples should suffice. Please also submit them all together, for the sanity of those who closely watch this page. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 19:28, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Healthy,_Hunger-Free_Kids_Act_of_2010&diff=prev&oldid=514862607 This is one i found difficult to decide as i don't know if it was genuine or a sarcastic one so i would leave it for another editor to authenticate http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Flozell_Adams&diff=prev&oldid=514870822 This one, although many would say is blatant vandalism, i would say it is a good faith edit as the editor may think they are a good sportsperson and just went the wrong way about displaying this opinion http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Bridge&diff=prev&oldid=514875753 I would say this is a good faith edit because this fact easily could be true but needs to back up information with a reference. Telfordbuck ( talk) 21:08, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
I want to revert vandalism more efficiently using STiki. I am reverting vandalism using Twinkle. I have currently made 371 edits to the article namespace. I made mistakes in distinguishing vandalism and good-faith edits. So I do not want to make mistakes in distinguishing blatant vandalism and good faith edits by detecting vandalism. Hope you grant me permission to use STiki Sriharsh1234 10:29, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Andrew, I'm just letting you know that without prejudice to the Stiki request, I have declined a request from this user for the Rollback tool until they have successfully completed a CVUA course. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 08:56, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Is there any logic in the program to remind or stop me from reverting an edit more than twice in a 24 hour period? If I make a few hundred RVs in a day I could easily forget whether I've encountered that page already in the last 24 hours. Thanks. Alanl ( talk) 09:19, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
STiki has been constanly freezing just now. It can't be my laptop because it's fairly new (less than a year old). I haven't been able to perform many edits on it because of this. Thanks. Lighthead þ 06:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the trace, Fox. Things seem to go south around line 275. I am curious, you above mentioned that it "periodically freezes"? Did you see any edits when you produced this trace, or did things just fail immediately? It seems to be a database connection issue, but I couldn't find a single database Java class getting loaded before the errors (thus it would seem a connection was *never* established). You shouldn't have been able to see an edit without talking to the database first. Let's start with this... Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 14:19, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi guys, I've recently come back to Wikipedia after a break and downloaded the new version of STiki and I'm experiencing similar problems that weren't apparent in the older versions that I was using back near April. First it froze like this: http://i.imgur.com/eJjz6.jpg - the edit did show up in my contributions. Then this happened: http://i.imgur.com/KrhzX.jpg. S D 5 18:23, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Glad to see things seem to be working out for you both. Yes, the initial delay will tend to happen (though 15 seconds is quite a while; it depends on your network speed and where in the world relative to STiki's servers in Philadelphia, USA). This is because everything has to be re-fetched whenever the queue is changed or you login (e.g., to avoid those edits you previously "passed"). Hopefully after that the queuing and pre-fetch system makes for rather responsive operation. Let me know if these problems happen in the future, and if they do, try to produce a very precise time of exactly "when". Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 17:34, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
hi andrew, i'm a very long-term editor on the project although have been editing only sporadically since 2006. i started going through my watchlist today and noticed quite a large number of simple vandalism or test edits (nothing too offensive, really, just cruft). i downloaded stiki and ran it and was surprised at how effective the algorithm(s) are at detecting this sort of stuff and decided it would be nice to help with the development of the project (that is, stiki, not wikipedia). i would hope that you'd be willing to "grant me special permission" or whatever to use the tool. i've some thousands of article edits (slightly > 50%) since 2004-ish. a further third are interacting with other editors trying to fix things.
the other thing i'd mention is that i tend to keep myself through tor at home because i'm a paranoiac. this means that my traffic to sites i trust goes through ssl and bypasses the proxy (tor). unfortunately i don't see a way to tell stiki to use https instead of straight http. since we're communicating a cookie and i assume the network i live upon to be hostile, it would make my life easier and me feel safer. anyways.
slick tool. (honestly, i'm a perl guy and want to not like it, but it does work well!) –alex (... aa: talk 03:34, 5 October 2012 (UTC))
Couldn't parse the language of this chain of events perfectly, here's what I can respond: (1) No, you won't be able to use Tor. (2) Did the login issues fix themselves, it works for you over both http/https now? (3) Database lag (on the Wikipedia) side is out of my control, can't do much about that. (4) Pay attention to the "last revert panel" in STiki. Threading allows the GUI to advance while communication with Wikipedia happens in the background. When a revert eventually commits, this panel will report that. If an editor beat you to the revert, the panel will also report that. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 19:12, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm running STiki in Wineskin on a Mac, and around 6-7 the database seems to lag an exorbitant amount of time... have you already offloaded data/whatever the original plans to speed it up were to do? I have to wait 5-10 minutes to see the first diff, and after hitting a button I have to wait another 2-5 minutes to see the next diff... Cheers! Theo polisme 07:07, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
I am requesting permission to use STiki to help fight vandalism. I have 14,000+ edits, have reverted quite a lot of vandalism by patrolling recent changes and I have just requested rollback rights. Many thanks. – MrX 01:29, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello STiki team,
I have been using Wikipedia for a while now. I switched accounts and would like to regain my STiki privileges. My old username is Jakebarrington. Thanks, FXtraderFX ( talk) 23:08, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Stiki these days refuses to open up at all, and shows up a box saying either I don't have internet, have no MySQL access or a new version of Stiki has been released. This is happening across multiple systems with different internet connections. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 20:55, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Sometimes edit the article in the wiki interface, instead of reverting the edit with the STiki interface. When I go back to the STiki interface I usually press the button that best approximates what I have done. For example, if the edit found was vandalism, but there was other vandalism, I tend to remove all the vandalism in the wiki interface and then press "vandalism" in STiki. The STiki interface should just inform me that I have been beaten to the revert (by myself) and make no edit. This has all worked fine .... until now.
Check out this edit!
STiki is reverting the edits by 194.75.169.163, to give the version by CBNG. ( confirmation). This despite the fact that I had already reverted to an older version using Twinkle.
This is obviously a bug that doesn't crop up very often but I thought you should know.
Yaris678 ( talk) 12:07, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Andrew. Presumably people will get the same issue with vandalism reverts if they don't have the rollbacker right. -- Yaris678 ( talk) 10:33, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
This is a really minor issue, but the leaderboard uses a rather excessive amount of RAM and CPU loading on my computer (~400MB and a full thread for ~30 seconds respectively), which is far more than it should. Perhaps it would be prudent to cut it down a bit, so that users with less than 50 or 100 users aren't displayed? Or, similar to Wikipedia: List of Wikipedians by number of edits, list them on another page? It's not a huge issue right now, but it's only going to keep growing, and 400MB RAM usage is already a fairly large amount. Sellyme Talk 17:29, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
STiki's server appears to be down, as it is currently unreachable via SSH and other services. I will be heading into my office shortly to investigate the issue. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 22:19, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, I've been reverting vandalism for the past few days and found this tool. I think it'd be so much easier for me to revert and I'd love to use a tool such as this, even though I don't have rollback. Please consider giving me access as it'd be so much easier on my part. Thanks, Hair Talk 00:56, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
I'd now like to use my STiki for faster vandalism reverts. Have rollback, have more than a thousand edits, but no approval yet. TruPepitoM Talk To Me 02:07, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi there I would like to help fight vandalism and I try to revert vandalism when I can and I think it would make it much easier for me to fight vandalism with this tool and I'd love to use a tool such as this, even though I don't have the rollback permission/right, nor do I have at least 1000 article edits I only have 445 edits, but I do try to be on Wikipedia everyday when I can and hope to get over 1000 article edits in the next few months if possible, so please consider giving me access as it'd be so much easier on my part. Thanks. Sk8terguy27 Talk 23:10, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Vacation9. I would like to be able to revert vandalism easier (I already use Twinkle and have made around 200 Article Namespace vandalism/speedy deletion edits). I think STiki would be a great tool to do this and believe I am worthy of holding this tool. Please let me know your decision and be free to look at my talk page.

Hey, In-case anyone was wanting to use STiki to update Wiki Defcon here is a handy dandy chart to put the Stats up STIKI USERS: You'll need to do some math in order to garner the Reverts/Minute. Do the following: - In STiki, click "Rev. Queue", then "Recent usage stats." -Next, note the number of classifications (total, from all queues) from the last hour. - Multiply this number by the percentage of reverts (in parentheses). - Round to a whole number, and then ?? multiply it by ??? in order to adjust for less use of STiki vs. Huggle. - Divide your result by 60 (minutes in an hour). ♠♥♣Shaun9876♠♥♣ Talk 02:35, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi all (particularly Andrew). Any explanation for why STiki made this report? (see why it was declined)? — Theo polisme 22:18, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Apologies. I had looked only at the time and missed the date of the last warning. Daniel Case ( talk) 03:02, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Andrew. When will the next release be? You did a bug fix a while ago but it hasn't been released yet. Without the fix, STiki users could potentially revert to the wrong version. Yaris678 ( talk) 17:33, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Any chance I could get Stiki approval? Fighting vandalism through recent changes is tedious. Thx.

Nothing earth-shattering in this release. However, with no pressing work on the horizon I though it wise to go ahead and push out these few minor improvements we've accumulated lately. As always, thanks for your continued support. West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I'd like to ask for approval to use STiki. The majority of my edits are anti-vandalism edits, however, I think I'd be more efficient using STiki over the default editing tools and Twinkle. Fox Wilson ( talk) 02:17, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I would like permission to use STiki. I have 241 edits on Wikipedia, and most are vandalism reversion and warnings. I realise that 241 is somewhat under the limit of 500, but I do have 790 changes on Simple English Wikipedia that are mainly vandalism reversion. I've recently become more interested in the English Wikipedia, partly because there's so much more vandalism to revert...
What he says is true, and technically it isn't a limit but a reasonable guideline... §h₳un 9∞76 01:07, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
I support this request. And the last editor's comment line could be longer—it gets truncated. -- Greenmaven ( talk) 01:06, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
It's been quite a few months; is a new release in the pipeline? It seems we've accumulated enough bug fixes/changes/etc...then I again, I may be misjudging things again. — Theo polisme 02:17, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
Sometimes Stiki appears to "skip" a diff (the screen flashes very quickly). I can't tell if it is actually skipping a diff for me to review or not. My fear is I think that sometimes Stiki might be capturing a double "I" and marking a diff innocent before I actually had a chance to review this. When this happens for G or V, its no big deal as I can look in my contribution history and manually check the edit there. But is there a way to scroll through all the diffs I have previously reviewed? Thanks.

Also, in response to the idea of an 'action log': perhaps some sort of undo (one click for both warning and reversion undo—could have some sort of basic error handling if revids didn't match up (i.e. a link to the history)) button? Somewhat like what Huggle has? Just throwing that out there. — Theo polisme 22:05, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

I'd now like to use my STiki for faster vandalism reverts. Have rollback, have more than a thousand edits, but no approval yet. TruPepitoM Talk To Me 02:07, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi there I would like to help fight vandalism and I try to revert vandalism when I can and I think it would make it much easier for me to fight vandalism with this tool and I'd love to use a tool such as this, even though I don't have the rollback permission/right, nor do I have at least 1000 article edits I only have 445 edits, but I do try to be on Wikipedia everyday when I can and hope to get over 1000 article edits in the next few months if possible, so please consider giving me access as it'd be so much easier on my part. Thanks. Sk8terguy27 Talk 23:10, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Vacation9. I would like to be able to revert vandalism easier (I already use Twinkle and have made around 200 Article Namespace vandalism/speedy deletion edits). I think STiki would be a great tool to do this and believe I am worthy of holding this tool. Please let me know your decision and be free to look at my talk page.

Hey, In-case anyone was wanting to use STiki to update Wiki Defcon here is a handy dandy chart to put the Stats up STIKI USERS: You'll need to do some math in order to garner the Reverts/Minute. Do the following: - In STiki, click "Rev. Queue", then "Recent usage stats." -Next, note the number of classifications (total, from all queues) from the last hour. - Multiply this number by the percentage of reverts (in parentheses). - Round to a whole number, and then ?? multiply it by ??? in order to adjust for less use of STiki vs. Huggle. - Divide your result by 60 (minutes in an hour). ♠♥♣Shaun9876♠♥♣ Talk 02:35, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi all (particularly Andrew). Any explanation for why STiki made this report? (see why it was declined)? — Theo polisme 22:18, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Apologies. I had looked only at the time and missed the date of the last warning. Daniel Case ( talk) 03:02, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Andrew. When will the next release be? You did a bug fix a while ago but it hasn't been released yet. Without the fix, STiki users could potentially revert to the wrong version. Yaris678 ( talk) 17:33, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Any chance I could get Stiki approval? Fighting vandalism through recent changes is tedious. Thx.

Nothing earth-shattering in this release. However, with no pressing work on the horizon I though it wise to go ahead and push out these few minor improvements we've accumulated lately. As always, thanks for your continued support. West.andrew.g ( talk) 20:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I'd like to ask for approval to use STiki. The majority of my edits are anti-vandalism edits, however, I think I'd be more efficient using STiki over the default editing tools and Twinkle. Fox Wilson ( talk) 02:17, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I would like permission to use STiki. I have 241 edits on Wikipedia, and most are vandalism reversion and warnings. I realise that 241 is somewhat under the limit of 500, but I do have 790 changes on Simple English Wikipedia that are mainly vandalism reversion. I've recently become more interested in the English Wikipedia, partly because there's so much more vandalism to revert...
What he says is true, and technically it isn't a limit but a reasonable guideline... §h₳un 9∞76 01:07, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
I support this request. And the last editor's comment line could be longer—it gets truncated. -- Greenmaven ( talk) 01:06, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
It's been quite a few months; is a new release in the pipeline? It seems we've accumulated enough bug fixes/changes/etc...then I again, I may be misjudging things again. — Theo polisme 02:17, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
Sometimes Stiki appears to "skip" a diff (the screen flashes very quickly). I can't tell if it is actually skipping a diff for me to review or not. My fear is I think that sometimes Stiki might be capturing a double "I" and marking a diff innocent before I actually had a chance to review this. When this happens for G or V, its no big deal as I can look in my contribution history and manually check the edit there. But is there a way to scroll through all the diffs I have previously reviewed? Thanks.

Also, in response to the idea of an 'action log': perhaps some sort of undo (one click for both warning and reversion undo—could have some sort of basic error handling if revids didn't match up (i.e. a link to the history)) button? Somewhat like what Huggle has? Just throwing that out there. — Theo polisme 22:05, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
