Is someone still using the old version? See Special:Contributions/108.74.160.246? - Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 09:40, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I've been using TW and Lupin's for a little while to revert vandalism. I currently have 1,098 total edits, with 391 in article space. Several people with fewer article space edits than me have been given rollback rights, but I've been turned down because I haven't been here as long. I can appreciate this viewpoint, but thought I'd ask here for stiki privileges as lupin's is horribly slow and TW doesn't have an auto-refreshing feed. I try to revert obvious vandalism mostly and I do know I've made a mistake or two, but feel I've handled them properly. Either way I appreciate your feedback. Thanks! C1776M Talk 19:56, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
A useful and clever feature of STiki is how it pops up a warning before reverting an established editor. How difficult would it be to do something similar if it detects a particular talk page banner (presence of a certain template)? --— Rhododendrites talk | 05:21, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Fellow STiki-ers/STikees, I'm looking for a little help with the design of the new barnstar for reaching 250,000 classifications with STiki. I've had a think the past couple of days and come up with very little. The best idea I've had so far was to in some way use the superman S logo and add Tiki to it. (For a rough mock up see here albeit minus the "Tiki").
Andrew has kindly let me choose the design for reaching the 250,000 milestone but as we're a community and we'll hopefully be needing this barnstar quite a few times in the future (certainly for Widr very soon) I'm interested to know what others think. Thanks Fraggle81 ( talk) 02:08, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
STiki is giving me blank diffs, such as this and this. I don't recall this happening before - is this intended behavior? Thanks. :-) Sunrise ( talk) 20:55, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
First noticed this in a specific revert taken from some posts above " IP still using STiki?". These specific edits, involve two successive vandalisms by an IP but only one of it getting reverted by the STiki user. Is this a usual occurrence? I always thought it rollbacks all the successive edits and have never noticed this happening so far...or has it just got something to do with the IP using the old version? - Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 11:39, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
This appears related to the "IP using STiki" bug. STiki queries for the user's permission set to determine whether they have "native" rollback or not. If a user does not have native rollback, I can do a lot of queries and logic to give a user" software rollback" capability. This user had native rollback, so when reverting edits it was sending the server a rollback token and attempting to do reverts that way. However, because of the bug, the user's login cookie was not correctly set. Thus it was an IP editor (w/o rollback permissions) trying to perform rollback actions. The server's response was "you can't do that; we'll let you do a single revert instead". Problem solved with the fix. West.andrew.g ( talk) 14:06, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
Requesting an STiki account merge from Andrew per the discussion on my talk page ( my previous account). Thanks! Sunrise ( talk) 05:42, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed this happens quite often but it hasn't caused me an issue until just now. When the edit summary of the shown edit is lengthy such as this one STiki only shows the very end of it, "uses out modded wording/sources (over 100 years old)." So it appears the editor deleted a large amount of sourced data because the language isn't current from sources over 100 years old. As it turns out this was far from the truth. Obviously this specific case isn't going to happen all the time, but others may. I fully admit I should have gone to the article and investigated further and accept that. I'm just trying to find out if there is any way to include the full edit summary? Thanks! C1776M Talk 20:58, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello! Due to a security problems with the WMFLabs, older versions of STiki are no longer fully functional. You've been identified as a user of STiki, and are kindly asked to upgrade to the current version at Wikipedia:STiki#Download before continuing with use of the tool. Continuing to use older versions will be detrimental to the STiki project. Please see Wikipedia talk:STiki#Problems for a discussion of this issue or to respond to this message. Thank you! |

If it would display a portion of the article's recent history, it would be really improve our efficiency. Many instances, viewing the article history helps a lot but it would be time consuming to inspect it everytime. This has been asked before at Wikipedia talk:STiki/Archive 3#Recent history and Wikipedia talk:STiki/Archive 14#Digging into an article.27s history by Yaris.

I have the latest release of Stiki(the March 25th release). The last time I used it was 4-5 days ago. I am connected to the Internet(that's why I am able to post the problem here). I am not able to run Stiki. What can be the cause?-- Skr15081997 ( talk) 03:39, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Solved and changed in source. The WMF thought it a good idea to change the way pagination is done when counting user edit quantity. Why this wasn't made backwards compatible is a little puzzling. Is there some place where we can see what patches are applied to en.wp and search in particular for "API" fixes? This bug affects the edit count done as a permissions check and sometimes the "don't template the regulars" logic. How common are users with >1000 edits and no rollback? Because they are no longer going to be able to use the tool. I'm inclined to make an emergency release with just this change, with no fan-fare surrounding it.

(just in case @ West.andrew.g: doesn't check GitHub often) -- I have found myself needing three kinds of AGF messages often in using STiki, so I've added them for my own use. I remember discussing it about a year ago and being told more message would be added soon, but that does not seem to have happened so far. Now that the source code is on GitHub, it's easy to adopt (and adapt, as needed) my changes, via this pull request, if you wish. Ijon ( talk) 02:31, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Cool. Did you take the wikicode from Wikipedia:STiki/Good-faith-revert messages? Are all the messages there implemented now? Yaris678 ( talk) 18:04, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
I do realize that I don't have many edits in main but everyone of them is either reverting vandalism or improving an article. I'm an enrollee in the CVUA and I have received training in this tool. I have read WP:STiki, WP:VANDALISM, WP:RCP and any CVUA documentation/training on this tool. I have been vandalized two times for vandalism that I have reverted and both have resulted in a block. I think that I will be able to use this tool with responsibility and maturity. -24 Talk 23:37, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
I've a Wikipedian since 2011 and presently have Rollback privileges which is one of the requirements for using STiki, I also have watched and rolled back various articles that were either vandalized or were unconstructive. TheGoofyGolfer ( talk) 03:02, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi there! User:Tutelary recommended [1] that I request permission to use STiki. I know I have a low number of article space edits, but I do a lot of vandal hunting, and I think that this tool would help me fight vandalism a lot. -- Lixxx235 ( talk) 15:04, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
I'd like to have permission to use STiki please. I really want to help out. Thanks, TheQ Editor (Talk) 02:17, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Can the edit test messages be added to STiki. I don't know if these messages should be categorized under AGF or vandalism. Wikipedia says that test edits should be treated with good faith but the templates are multi-level thus implying the need to be categorized as vandalism. Let me know what you think. Cheers, -24 Talk 22:53, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
AGF warnings do not have any type of severity associated. Presumably, repeated instances of damaging "in good faith" is a bit of an oxymoron. Moreover, the whole basis of severity escalation is that the hierarchy is standardized and can be parsed by both users and tools. Nothing like that exists in the AGF case. Also, very cool that Ijon is building from source. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 01:49, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I am Lil' Miss Rarity Wikia Profile and I would like to be granted access to the STiki tool. I am an active counter vandalism user on Wikia and I would like to extend that to Wikimedia as well. Lil' Miss Rarity ( talk) 01:42, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
I agree. Completing WP:CVUA would be sufficient for me to grant access. Alternatively, those who grant rollback requests may look more favorably on your Wikia experience (which I do appreciate). It feels a bit silly for me to pass the buck elsewhere, but this is the reality in a highly distributed collaborative system. West.andrew.g ( talk) 01:58, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello. I would like to request permission to use STiki. Although I am a new user, I am now trying to remove and clean up vandalism for the Wikipedia community. This is what I want to do on Wikipedia as I want to make Wikipedia a reliable source of information. I believe this tool will help me to look for vandals on Wikipedia. Warrenkychu ( talk) 06:54, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Sometimes, using STiki, I encounter some edits with no diffs at all. The edits were not constructive but reverting it will not be constructive too. I was thinking of maybe only warning them but not actually revert them. Is that an option? Thanks, TheQ Editor (Talk) 01:49, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
I wound love to use WP:STIKI, I have been active in anti-vandalism and I think this tool would allow me to revert edits much faster and easier than using Twinkle rollback and patrolling the recent changes list. 123chess456 ( talk) 02:21, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I'm B14709, and I would really like to use STiki to revert vandalism. I've been using Twinkle, but I still can't fight vandalism as efficiently as I would like. Could someone give me permission to use STiki? B14709 ( talk) 19:54, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure whether this is the right place to put this, but I'd like to have either a "handle off STiki" button, which opens the web browser and goes to the next edit, or a full list of AGF messages- the full list used by Twinkle. I find myself restricted in my ability to use only 4 custom messages without automatic headers, so what happens on some reverts is that I use the view-diff link and use Twinkle to actually revert the vandalism, and when this happens, I don't know which button I should press- pass sends to another person for review, the revert ones for obvious reasons, so that leaves the Innocent button, which is what I've been going with, but I'm pretty sure that trains the software to think certain types of edits are good edits. -- Lixxx235 ( talk) 04:28, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
:@
Lixxx235: Actually the documentation encourages users to use the innocent button in this case. This doesn't hurt anything because STiki doesn't learn the way bots do. All recent changes go through STiki (except some edits, like bots).

Talk 12:39, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Suggestion: Rather than the current edit conflict/check history "error" message. Perhaps the message should be something like "No revert, due to edit conflict. The classification is still useful. If you haven't edited the article, check it's history."
Of course, it would be even cooler if STiki could check if the conflicting edits were by the STiki user, but I imagine that is more difficult to implement than changing the text of a message. Yaris678 ( talk) 17:13, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Would it also be possible to use the full list of warning templates used by Twinkle? Thanks -- Lixxx235 ( talk) 20:23, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I've been reverting vandalism using Twinkle for a while now, but it would be a lot quicker and more efficient if I could use STIKI. I have the required 200 mainspace edits, and would love to increase this. Thanks. FriendlyCaribou ( talk) 17:14, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
No action needed: Since your recent Request for Rollback has been accepted, you can automatically use this tool now. Happy reverting. - Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 10:06, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Request - Hello, I would like to request permission for the use of STiki. I am a regular user of Twinkle and have dedicated a significant amount of my time to fighting vandalism under both this account and my old one DJAMP4444 ( talk) 23:15, 4 June 2014 (UTC).
Done -- @ DJAMP4444: -- This meets the threshold for me, ~500 edits half of them being in talk space, and sufficient tagging/vandalism/welcoming experience. I don't expect requesters to be full-time anti-vandals, only a history that demonstrates good judgement and adherence to Wikipedia norms. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:40, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
In the STiki leaderboard, I found out that my username was on it for 2 times. One time, it was TheQ_Editor. The second time was TheQ Editor (without an underscore). I don't check back there often, but I hadn't been using STiki for 2 weeks and just started using it again, and it's just a little annoying. Thanks, TheQ Editor (Talk) 14:35, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
This might be a good idea, and I'm holding off on filing a feature request because it may have already been denied in some way. I've seen my edits before, and of course I'll classify them as innocent. But is that the proper procedure? Wouldn't it be a conflict of interest to review your own edits? Novato 123chess456 ( talk) 01:55, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
I'm not so keen on the idea of watching every page I revert through STiki, but it WOULD be good to watch the userpages I template in case they respond. Is there any way to do this either through STiki or otherwise? --— Rhododendrites talk | 20:48, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
I'll note that STiki's login panel *already has* a "never watchlist" option. If that is checked, it will override whatever exists in your preferences. This way, people can continue automatically adding the pages they meaningfully edit to their watchlist, but the rather ephemeral interaction with an article via STiki won't crowd one's watchlist. I like your idea about the user-talk watchlisting (it is quite straightforward to implement), and I've added to it to the tracking table as T#042, likely to take the form of a checkbox below the "never watchlist" one.

Would like to ask for permission to use this tool. I have more than 1000 edits in the Main articles. Want to use this to detect vandalism better. -- TerryAlex ( talk) 16:13, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

I have been reverting the vandalism by hand, and I would like to use this tool to be more efficient at it. I have read up on all of the rules and I would like a chance to get to work. Banjohunter ( talk) 00:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the pointer to CVUA. I will work through the training and see where it takes me. Almost all of the edits I have reverted are from anonymous IP address users, and I did not realize it was appropriate to put warnings on their pages. Banjohunter ( talk) 23:11, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
I feel that now I have finally accrued some valuable experience as most of my -albeit limited- edits have been counter vandalism edits. I have now read up on (and attempted to employ) all the correct policies, this includes browsing the WP:CVUA curriculum, reading different Wiki policies (like WP:AGF and WP:Vandalism) and generally just trying to improve my editing. I would like to think that this has been displayed in my contributions to date, especially my more recent ones. Furthermore, as the STiki program says "Well-intentioned novice editors.... adopted by an experienced STiki user", I would like the chance to prove my intentions and further fight vandalism. Thank you in advance, for reading this and for taking the time to reply. QuartzReload ( talk) 22:37, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Does the STiki can be used with pt.wikipedia.org? Guiwp ( talk) 11:39, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
I have been having a couple of issues launching STiki of late; upon trying to launch, I get the standard error message saying "you may not be connected to the internet" etc. The problem persists even after several attempts and waiting for quite a while; BUT when I download the jar file again, it works just fine for the next day or so, until the pattern repeats. If this had happened a couple of times, I would have blamed my computer, but after four repetitions I can't help but think there may be some issue here......has anyone got any words of wisdom to share? Vanamonde93 ( talk) 08:04, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
@ Vanamonde93: I completely believe in your description of the symptoms, but STiki in no way "evolves" such that re-downloading the JAR should suddenly fix things. If we arrive at that conclusion, I'll be very surprised. As a diagnosis starting point, the next time STiki gives you the "can't connect" message, try visiting [2] in a web browser. If you are able to get to my homepage, it tells us you are able to reach the STiki server (over port 80, at minimum). Are you always using the same Internet connection and/or wireless network? Some institutions, companies, and ISPs(?) will block the port that STiki communicates over. Let's start with this. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:22, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

(just in case @ West.andrew.g: doesn't check GitHub often) -- I have found myself needing three kinds of AGF messages often in using STiki, so I've added them for my own use. I remember discussing it about a year ago and being told more message would be added soon, but that does not seem to have happened so far. Now that the source code is on GitHub, it's easy to adopt (and adapt, as needed) my changes, via this pull request, if you wish. Ijon ( talk) 02:31, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Cool. Did you take the wikicode from Wikipedia:STiki/Good-faith-revert messages? Are all the messages there implemented now? Yaris678 ( talk) 18:04, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
I do realize that I don't have many edits in main but everyone of them is either reverting vandalism or improving an article. I'm an enrollee in the CVUA and I have received training in this tool. I have read WP:STiki, WP:VANDALISM, WP:RCP and any CVUA documentation/training on this tool. I have been vandalized two times for vandalism that I have reverted and both have resulted in a block. I think that I will be able to use this tool with responsibility and maturity. -24 Talk 23:37, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
I've a Wikipedian since 2011 and presently have Rollback privileges which is one of the requirements for using STiki, I also have watched and rolled back various articles that were either vandalized or were unconstructive. TheGoofyGolfer ( talk) 03:02, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi there! User:Tutelary recommended [1] that I request permission to use STiki. I know I have a low number of article space edits, but I do a lot of vandal hunting, and I think that this tool would help me fight vandalism a lot. -- Lixxx235 ( talk) 15:04, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
I'd like to have permission to use STiki please. I really want to help out. Thanks, TheQ Editor (Talk) 02:17, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Can the edit test messages be added to STiki. I don't know if these messages should be categorized under AGF or vandalism. Wikipedia says that test edits should be treated with good faith but the templates are multi-level thus implying the need to be categorized as vandalism. Let me know what you think. Cheers, -24 Talk 22:53, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
AGF warnings do not have any type of severity associated. Presumably, repeated instances of damaging "in good faith" is a bit of an oxymoron. Moreover, the whole basis of severity escalation is that the hierarchy is standardized and can be parsed by both users and tools. Nothing like that exists in the AGF case. Also, very cool that Ijon is building from source. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 01:49, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I am Lil' Miss Rarity Wikia Profile and I would like to be granted access to the STiki tool. I am an active counter vandalism user on Wikia and I would like to extend that to Wikimedia as well. Lil' Miss Rarity ( talk) 01:42, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
I agree. Completing WP:CVUA would be sufficient for me to grant access. Alternatively, those who grant rollback requests may look more favorably on your Wikia experience (which I do appreciate). It feels a bit silly for me to pass the buck elsewhere, but this is the reality in a highly distributed collaborative system. West.andrew.g ( talk) 01:58, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello. I would like to request permission to use STiki. Although I am a new user, I am now trying to remove and clean up vandalism for the Wikipedia community. This is what I want to do on Wikipedia as I want to make Wikipedia a reliable source of information. I believe this tool will help me to look for vandals on Wikipedia. Warrenkychu ( talk) 06:54, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Sometimes, using STiki, I encounter some edits with no diffs at all. The edits were not constructive but reverting it will not be constructive too. I was thinking of maybe only warning them but not actually revert them. Is that an option? Thanks, TheQ Editor (Talk) 01:49, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
I wound love to use WP:STIKI, I have been active in anti-vandalism and I think this tool would allow me to revert edits much faster and easier than using Twinkle rollback and patrolling the recent changes list. 123chess456 ( talk) 02:21, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I'm B14709, and I would really like to use STiki to revert vandalism. I've been using Twinkle, but I still can't fight vandalism as efficiently as I would like. Could someone give me permission to use STiki? B14709 ( talk) 19:54, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure whether this is the right place to put this, but I'd like to have either a "handle off STiki" button, which opens the web browser and goes to the next edit, or a full list of AGF messages- the full list used by Twinkle. I find myself restricted in my ability to use only 4 custom messages without automatic headers, so what happens on some reverts is that I use the view-diff link and use Twinkle to actually revert the vandalism, and when this happens, I don't know which button I should press- pass sends to another person for review, the revert ones for obvious reasons, so that leaves the Innocent button, which is what I've been going with, but I'm pretty sure that trains the software to think certain types of edits are good edits. -- Lixxx235 ( talk) 04:28, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
:@
Lixxx235: Actually the documentation encourages users to use the innocent button in this case. This doesn't hurt anything because STiki doesn't learn the way bots do. All recent changes go through STiki (except some edits, like bots).

Suggestion: Rather than the current edit conflict/check history "error" message. Perhaps the message should be something like "No revert, due to edit conflict. The classification is still useful. If you haven't edited the article, check it's history."
Of course, it would be even cooler if STiki could check if the conflicting edits were by the STiki user, but I imagine that is more difficult to implement than changing the text of a message. Yaris678 ( talk) 17:13, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Would it also be possible to use the full list of warning templates used by Twinkle? Thanks -- Lixxx235 ( talk) 20:23, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I've been reverting vandalism using Twinkle for a while now, but it would be a lot quicker and more efficient if I could use STIKI. I have the required 200 mainspace edits, and would love to increase this. Thanks. FriendlyCaribou ( talk) 17:14, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
No action needed: Since your recent Request for Rollback has been accepted, you can automatically use this tool now. Happy reverting. - Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 10:06, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Request - Hello, I would like to request permission for the use of STiki. I am a regular user of Twinkle and have dedicated a significant amount of my time to fighting vandalism under both this account and my old one DJAMP4444 ( talk) 23:15, 4 June 2014 (UTC).
Done -- @ DJAMP4444: -- This meets the threshold for me, ~500 edits half of them being in talk space, and sufficient tagging/vandalism/welcoming experience. I don't expect requesters to be full-time anti-vandals, only a history that demonstrates good judgement and adherence to Wikipedia norms. West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:40, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
In the STiki leaderboard, I found out that my username was on it for 2 times. One time, it was TheQ_Editor. The second time was TheQ Editor (without an underscore). I don't check back there often, but I hadn't been using STiki for 2 weeks and just started using it again, and it's just a little annoying. Thanks, TheQ Editor (Talk) 14:35, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
This might be a good idea, and I'm holding off on filing a feature request because it may have already been denied in some way. I've seen my edits before, and of course I'll classify them as innocent. But is that the proper procedure? Wouldn't it be a conflict of interest to review your own edits? Novato 123chess456 ( talk) 01:55, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
I'm not so keen on the idea of watching every page I revert through STiki, but it WOULD be good to watch the userpages I template in case they respond. Is there any way to do this either through STiki or otherwise? --— Rhododendrites talk | 20:48, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
I'll note that STiki's login panel *already has* a "never watchlist" option. If that is checked, it will override whatever exists in your preferences. This way, people can continue automatically adding the pages they meaningfully edit to their watchlist, but the rather ephemeral interaction with an article via STiki won't crowd one's watchlist. I like your idea about the user-talk watchlisting (it is quite straightforward to implement), and I've added to it to the tracking table as T#042, likely to take the form of a checkbox below the "never watchlist" one.

I have been reverting the vandalism by hand, and I would like to use this tool to be more efficient at it. I have read up on all of the rules and I would like a chance to get to work. Banjohunter ( talk) 00:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the pointer to CVUA. I will work through the training and see where it takes me. Almost all of the edits I have reverted are from anonymous IP address users, and I did not realize it was appropriate to put warnings on their pages. Banjohunter ( talk) 23:11, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
I feel that now I have finally accrued some valuable experience as most of my -albeit limited- edits have been counter vandalism edits. I have now read up on (and attempted to employ) all the correct policies, this includes browsing the WP:CVUA curriculum, reading different Wiki policies (like WP:AGF and WP:Vandalism) and generally just trying to improve my editing. I would like to think that this has been displayed in my contributions to date, especially my more recent ones. Furthermore, as the STiki program says "Well-intentioned novice editors.... adopted by an experienced STiki user", I would like the chance to prove my intentions and further fight vandalism. Thank you in advance, for reading this and for taking the time to reply. QuartzReload ( talk) 22:37, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Does the STiki can be used with pt.wikipedia.org? Guiwp ( talk) 11:39, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
I have been having a couple of issues launching STiki of late; upon trying to launch, I get the standard error message saying "you may not be connected to the internet" etc. The problem persists even after several attempts and waiting for quite a while; BUT when I download the jar file again, it works just fine for the next day or so, until the pattern repeats. If this had happened a couple of times, I would have blamed my computer, but after four repetitions I can't help but think there may be some issue here......has anyone got any words of wisdom to share? Vanamonde93 ( talk) 08:04, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
@ Vanamonde93: I completely believe in your description of the symptoms, but STiki in no way "evolves" such that re-downloading the JAR should suddenly fix things. If we arrive at that conclusion, I'll be very surprised. As a diagnosis starting point, the next time STiki gives you the "can't connect" message, try visiting [2] in a web browser. If you are able to get to my homepage, it tells us you are able to reach the STiki server (over port 80, at minimum). Are you always using the same Internet connection and/or wireless network? Some institutions, companies, and ISPs(?) will block the port that STiki communicates over. Let's start with this. Thanks, West.andrew.g ( talk) 16:22, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
