Expansion
editAny chance we could get a few columns of extra info added to this page to make it easier to deal with them, namely When each was created, to make it easier to spot the ones who do belong to users but older users, and who created it, to look for failed attempts at creating doppelgangers, IP vandalism or Bot mistakes. Cheers--Jac16888Talk 02:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks--Jac16888Talk 15:32, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- For reference, done here. --MZMcBride (talk) 06:22, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Re-run
editCan you run this again please, just to clear it out, I've cleared the majority of these and it shouldn't get very long again since most of them are very old, misnamed pages or ones not moved during usernames changes etc, thanks--Jac16888Talk 13:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Thanks for all of your hard work. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 06:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. That's the kind of update I love to see, 1048 pages down to 85.--Jac16888Talk 09:45, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Odd
editAny idea whats going on with this guy, User:Sir Lestaty de Lioncourt and all the odd bot named pages hes created, including monobooks, for non-existent accounts--Jac16888Talk 11:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Looks like he tried to reserve bot accounts without actually registering them. --MZMcBride (talk) 15:04, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Run
editCan you run this again please?--Jac16888Talk 21:49, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hm, shit, sorry I missed your note earlier. I've upgraded my stalking abilities a bit, so that shouldn't happen again. It's set to run on the 11th day of the month, but there's no issue running it manually. I just started it a minute ago. ... and I see it just finished. I'll set it to weekly. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 21:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- No worries. Cleared this lot, the only one left is User:Webapp, any idea what to do with him? Apparently he was blocked for socking, somehow got an unblock and was renamed to User:On.Elpeleg, who was then blocked again. There's even this Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Webapp--Jac16888Talk 22:20, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Create the account and block it indefinitely? Seems reasonable. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Done, nice idea. Odd though. His block log and deleted contributions have been given to me. Didn't know that happened. If i'm right then, every single one should be done, could you run it again please, just I can just once see it empty (I hope).--Jac16888Talk 22:32, 5 May 2009 (UTC) --Jac16888Talk 22:32, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Block logs and deleted contributions used to stay with the old account when RenameUser was used. (Bureaucrats used to annotate to new block log with a 1 second block.) Those bugs have been fixed within the last few months / years. Running the report again now. Should be finished in a few minutes. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:34, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Beautiful. Totally empty. Now that I like. Thanks--Jac16888Talk 23:08, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Broken
editIs there something wrong with this report? Most of the entries for the last run do belong to users--Jac16888Talk 13:30, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- See here. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:37, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, missed that. Cheers--Jac16888Talk 19:46, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
User talk:Tim Thomasons Temporary Username
editI've validly registered User:Tim Thomasons Temporary Username as an alternate account, so it and its talk page should not be listed from this page or deleted. I doubt anyone else would have wanted to register as "Tim Thomasons Temporary Username" and if they did, it would likely be mischievous.--Tim Thomason 07:46, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Looks like the report updated today and it's no longer listed. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:25, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
IPv6 user pages
editA lot of IPv6 user talk pages are appearing in this list. As IPv6 was only recently enabled the report generating software probably needs to be updated to exclude them. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:03, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
