fatal error

When I try to connect to Igloo, I get the session key and then the page 404's. Could you look into the problem please? Thanks! Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) T or M/Sign mine 18:59, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Never mind. Igloo started working again just right now :) Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) T or M/Sign mine 23:45, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
Glad to hear it! Ale_Jrbtalk 09:35, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

igloo server

You said that igloo connects to a remote,non-Wikimedia server.What is the name of that server? A520 | Talk me away!/sign it! 18:10, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

My web server, it doesn't have a name. Ale_Jrbtalk 19:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Status check suggestion

Hi Ale jrb, I was wondering, could you alter it so that when a user views their on Contribs, talk or user page that they will see online, regardless of whether they have made an edit, it makes sense but I don't know if that's a possible addition to the script. —James (Talk • Contribs) • 10:03am • 00:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey. Unfortunately, there is no way of detecting if a user is online if they haven't been editing, so that isn't going to happen. Sorry. :( Ale_Jrbtalk 09:45, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Oh well, the script is still mighty helpful nonetheless, saves me from having to check myself! :P —James (Talk • Contribs) • 8:57pm • 10:57, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

igloo error

igloo is continuously showing me this error:"igloo has closed lost connection to iglooNet".Can you explain this and is there any fix to this?It happened 7 times. A520 | Talk me away!/sign it! 16:06, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Not really. igloo periodically requests information from the server - this is a standard web request, and if it times out more than three times in a row, igloo disconnects you. Some people seem to have this happen a lot, and it never happens to me ever. Not sure why, and I'm too busy to try and fix it at the moment. Ale_Jrbtalk 17:44, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Igloo Suggestion - add links

Thanks for this tool - it really helps! I find that I have to often go to the article's history page in order to understand the user's change(s) in context.

Would you mind adding the following?

  • Make the article title a link to the article,
  • Add a (hist) link (after the title) that goes to the article's history page,
  • Make both the before and after users's names/ip adresses links that go to the user's talk page, and
  • Add a (contrib) link after the user's name that goes to the user's contribution page

That would help me reduce the number of 'false positives' , make it easier to use, etc.

Thanks! —Safety Cap (talk) 17:31, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

You can view the article history, and access it, from the history clock in the top right. I'm not currently working on igloo, too busy offline, but I'll keep your thoughts in mind. Cheers. Ale_Jrbtalk 17:48, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Mike fantastic

The beginning of the article is copied straight from the band's facebook page. I have removed it numerous times but the author keeps adding it back. The rest of the article is written with lines like "The audience were blown away whilst giving a standing ovation" and "Unfortunately they didn't get through to the semi-finals but still made the top 200!" That seemed kinda promotional to me. PTJoshua (talk) 22:22, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey. For G11 to apply, the entire article must be blatantly copied from another location without permission. If extracts from the article are copied, you should remove them, revert if they are added again, and warn the person re-adding them using the {{uw-copyright}} template, and report them to WP:AIV if they continue to repost it. Hope that helps. Ale_Jrbtalk 22:27, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Dear Ale jrb, greetings from Khmer Wikipedia! Just a question - if the Igloo tool use-able in other project? Thank you! --វ័ណថារិទ្ធ (talk) 13:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Heya. No, it's not possible at the moment, though it might be in the future. Sorry. Ale_Jrbtalk 15:59, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
I see. Hope it will be applicable to other smaller projects too! Will check out here from time to time! Thanks, --វ័ណថារិទ្ធ (talk) 14:38, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
