On ACC not storing antispoof results

Hey FastLizard4 - I've been using the ACC process for a while and so far it's been fine. Just a question about request #170659 - I've noticed that while the tool didn't log anything under the antispoof extension, when going to create the account it tripped the extension stating the name was too similar to another. I'm concerned about this because if an account has two or more similar usernames, and none of them are logged in the tool, will MediaWiki list all of the similar usernames or just one? If it lists just one then overriding the extension might be an error if I don't know the username of the other similar account(s). Either way, do you know why the tool isn't logging these similar usernames?

Also, as a sidenote I currently don't have access to the IRC with the username 'NottNott' - hopefully it would be fine to be whitelisted. Thanks for your help up to this point by the way NottNott|talk 16:30, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

@NottNott: Hello! I went ahead and whitelisted you on IRC, so you should be all set to join the channel now. Also, I sent you an email a few minutes ago regarding ACC; please read it as soon as you can, as it's important.
Now, to answer your question about antispoof - the problem stems from the fact that ACC does not have access to CentralAuth's antispoof results, so it may not always display the same results. This is a known upstream bug in the tool, and is tracked over on our GitHub repository here. (By the way, if you encounter any bugs with ACC, the GitHub repository I linked to is the place to both search to see if they've been reported before, and to report any new bugs or make feature requests.) As for the MediaWiki software, though I'm not 100% sure (i.e., I haven't read the code), I do believe it will show all spoof conflicts on attempted account creation.
Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good one! --FastLizard4 (talk•contribs) 05:56, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your email, I've just sent a response to it which responds to your concerns. Thanks for the whitelisting! I'll probably nuzzle my way in once in a while to check in (I should really be preparing for my exams...) Thanks for all the help. TeacupY NottNott|talk 09:07, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Request for opinion

Hi FastLizard4: Sorry to trouble you, but I could not help but notice your expression of affection for TOS on the Wikipedians who like Star Trek: The Original Series page, and so I would be curious of your thoughts on the notability of a Star Trek author for whom I just created a Wikipedia article -- which may be promptly destined for the trash pile. As a newcomer here at Wikipedia, my first article attempt was indeed recommended for deletion within hours of its creation by a senior user named JzG who seems to me to be overly hostile and dismissive of Star Trek, calling it fancruft (= trivial, obscure, of importance to just a tiny group of fanatics) . Since you are a Trek fan, if it is also your good faith opinion that my subject is in no way deserving of an article on this site; and you could let me know, I would feel much more comfortable with the justice of the pending deletion action. My proposed article may be seen here, assuming you visit the page soon enough ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Gurian Kind Regards. Tosresearcher (talk) 05:37, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Account creation

Hey there Lizard! I am contacting you as an OTRS volunteer. I understand you were involved in the decision not to open up an account for a user named John Lawrence Matthews pending verification of identity (I have a reference for you for that: ACC# 186978). I have now verified this individual's identity via VRTS ticket # 2016120910025548— could I get you to agree to open up the account? Please let me know if not so I can contact the individual requesting the account. Thank you! KDS4444 (talk) 02:56, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

@KDS4444: Hello! Unfortunately, that account request is too old for us to handle - we regularly clear the private data (IP and email addresses, etc.) associated with old requests to protect the requesters' privacy. Please ask the user to submit a new account request at https://accounts.wmflabs.org/index.php, ensuring that they enter the same email address that they used to email OTRS and including the OTRS ticket number in the "Comments" box, and we'll get right on it (or, if you'd prefer, you can assign the OTRS ticket to me and I can respond directly, since I have OTRS access myself). Thanks! --FastLizard4 (talk•contribs) 11:45, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Sweet! The ticket is now yours! Good luck! KDS4444 (talk) 20:00, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
@KDS4444: Thank you kindly! Happy editing! --FastLizard4 (talk•contribs) 23:11, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
