HI Gryllida, it would be for Glenn Hetrick |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Hetrick I have an image that is public domain with no copyright issues, that is much more up to date than what is currently displaying publicly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‪Scoony11‬ (talk • contribs)

Hi ‪Scoony11‬ have you uploaded your better image to commons? --Gryllida (talk) 22:55, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

YesGryllida‪‬ I have uploaded to commons a few months ago with no update since.

Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Freenode, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Elizium23 (talk) 04:10, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gryllida! I think you are the person to talk to about the Duplication Detector? It is currently showing a status of "503 - Service Not Available". This has been happening for at least a few days. If you have time to look at it that would be great. Thanks,— Diannaa (talk) 17:30, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Restarted the webservice. Should work now. --Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 18:36, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I am once again getting "503 - Service Not Available".— Diannaa (talk) 20:02, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - confirmed this error is happening now still. (Previous times, it crashed on some complicated page compares, and restarting webservice normally fixed it before.) I am checking now, will keep you updated. --Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 20:17, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please try now. (Needed to stop the webservice completely, wait a minute, and start it again. Appears to work for me.) --Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 21:21, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's just sitting there spinning. It looks like it's going to time out.— Diannaa (talk) 21:24, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What about v2? It is the same software, just in a subdirectory - possibly not that many people trying to access it at the same time. Appears to load much faster for me. --Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 21:29, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

https://dupdet.toolforge.org/v2/index.php loaded once on the Chromebook but I can't get it to load a second time. I got https://dupdet.toolforge.org/ to load once on a Window-based machine but now it won't load either verson - the're just sitting there spinning for ~10 minutes and then went to "502 bad gateway".— Diannaa (talk) 21:40, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I get the same results on the Windows-based machine using Chrome or Firefox.— Diannaa (talk) 21:48, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, for troubleshooting, now I've disabled the index.php and left only v2 available. (I'm trying to understand whether it's a bug with the server, or a bug with one specific page comparison request that someone keeps trying to make. Disabling the normal URL helps with eliminating the latter problem.) Could you please try to compare the two pages 'https://en.wikipedia.org' and 'https://en.wiktionary.org' as a first test? If that works, then try to compare your desired pages again. Sorry for the inconvenience; it might be an intermittent problem. --Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 22:03, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might be misunderstanding me. I can't even get the webpage to load. It's timing out with errors 502 bad gateway or 503 service not available. It occasionally loads after about 10 minutes but that's useless to patrollers. — Diannaa (talk) 22:15, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I will request help from other toolforge users and keep you updated. This seems like persistent and intermittent issue. Thank you for testing it. --Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 22:45, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stuck because of hardware issues, exacerbated by issues from heavy rain. :-( Sorry for the delay. If you post on this list or Wikipedia Technical Village Pump, and someone wishes to volunteer with debugging, I can give them access. PHP knowledge and debian-based sysadmin knowledge are required. Prior experience with running a tool at Wikimedia is desired. Presence on IRC at Libera Chat at the #wikimedia-cloud channel highly recommended. Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 04:22, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Curious if anyone else has taken a look at this yet as you suggested! Thanks. -- Wikipedical (talk) 21:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just checking on the status of this - if it looks like it's going to be permanent I've been asked to update the relevant templates, but if there's a chance it can be restored at some point then I'll keep the temporary fix I recently made to avoid the deadlinks in the short term. (please ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 11:01, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're back now, just checking on the status. Primefac (talk) 20:39, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, this is 503 still. I'm attempting to regain ssh access now. Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 07:43, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Loaded fine for me today morning as I was just going to query a few php related forums for assistance... Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 01:11, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Gryllida. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Activ8me Internet Service Provider".

I know you're trying to help the user, but because all of the content at issue was deleted, which you can't see, you have no way of understanding what happened. This is exacerbated by the fact that the user's English is subpar, and although they characterize the deleted content as "articles", no articles or even potential articles were deleted. Indeed, I don't even understand why the user is so desperate to copy the deleted content. Thanks for your understanding.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:52, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do not create an unblock request for the user. I reverted it. You're going well beyond what you are entitled to do.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:29, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23 perhaps a sprinkling of WP:AGF would be in order here? Gryllida was actively assisting MrPathetic89 in the live chat at the time, so this is hardly the egregious problem that your warning would make it seem to be. stwalkerster (talk) 21:47, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Stwalkerster: As you can see in my first post above, I did assume good faith, and regardless of what you think, I assumed good faith even in Gryllida's fashioning an unblock request for the user. I just don't think it's acceptable for them to do that. It's one thing if the user obviously attempts to create an unblock request but, for example, mangles the template, and another user fixes it, but Gryllida just made various assumptions as to what the user wishes. As have you in your edit summaries and your decline of the unblock request (reinstated by you). What the user wants is to be able to take all those deleted pages and copy them somewhere off-wiki. The fact that they are unencyclopedic is irrelevant, at least to what the user wants.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:53, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you entirely about the substance of the unblock request (hence why I've declined it). They're clearly not here to build an encyclopedia. I have no objection if someone else wants to copy-paste the content of the deleted pages and send it to them off-wiki, but a restoration is inappropriate. This user was attempting to request an unblock, and did mangle the template (by taking the "Reason for unblock ~~~~" bit instead of the full "{{unblock|reason=Reason for unblock ~~~~}}" - I'll accept that it may not be the most obvious point given the lack of transparency from the IRC chat though. Gryllida made no assumptions about the user's wishes. stwalkerster (talk) 22:03, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it was by their live chat request; thanks for helping them access their deleted content. Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 03:25, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Gryllida,

I'm here to remind you of the fact that I have archived your abandoned essay in an old version of User:Gryllida to my userpage User:NmWTfs85lXusaybq/Gryllida. I did this to fixed three redirects you left in the project space, including Wikipedia:SEEL, Wikipedia:SERV and Wikipedia:SRV. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks, NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 14:22, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, this looks awesome, NmWTfs85lXusaybq. I've now added a link to your copy from my user page. Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 00:45, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kia ora! I see you left a message on the New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board, and was wondering you would be able to help me with my draft Draft:Nate Wilbourne? I'm not too sure how to make it 'neutral' as I believe it already is... Cheers, Max Maxclayman (talk) 06:38, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it is already published. Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 16:24, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Heyyyy Grillyda, I wanted to see if you can help take a look at this draft I submitted for review Draft:Dotts Media House. I'm still looking at ways to make it better and doing that but also thought it was ready to be published. Kindly help take a look if you can as this will also improve my editing as well. Thanks mate! Olakunle Rufai (talk) 23:26, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on getting it published. Are you writing another draft soon? Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 22:13, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Gryllida:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 900 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
