Hi, I tried to upload the following list of usernames:

Opice1956
Rowerin
Melanie anna
Bonifac-cz
Jistefi
BaÄkovskÃ¡
Lidabey
NÅ O-ÄI
Stana123
Pauza
OmaOla
AntonÃn Ryska
LibuÅ¡e KrokovÃ¡
VETA 7O
IlÄa53
Wlady
MarkÃ©ta z e Lhoty
KlenÄa
VlaMaul

I extracted this list of usernames from the ListStudents API. Strangely,
three usernames are not valid when uploaded to Wikimetrics:

Jistefi invalid user_name Pauza invalid user_name VlaMaul invalid
user_name
Do you have any idea why these? The order of usernames does not seem to
produce any difference, it is always these three.

thanks

Hi VojtÄch,

Which project are you trying to validate those users on? I can take a
look. If they're registered users on that project, but they just signed
up, sometimes we have replication lag and they can take a day or so to get
into the labs databases where we read from.

Hi! Thanks for assistance. This is Czech Wikipedia, sorry for not
mentioning that.

See for yourself the 3 problematic cases:

Thanks, that confirmed that there is a problem in the replication. These
users exist in the production database but not in the labs databases that
are available for us. I have filed this bug to track the issue:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72908

We will update that as soon as we resolve the problem. Thanks again for
the report.

Dan
