This usually happens because the edits were imported from the UseModWiki database in September 2002 under user ID 0 (because the accounts didn't exist then), and then other edits were imported from the Nostalgia Wikipedia later or the account was compromised. Compare this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/LarrySanger with this: http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/LarrySanger Also, the edits that are assigned to the username "0" from 2002 don't show up with Special:Contributions either, presumably because they are listed under several userids: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/special:Contributions/0 The same is true of Conversion scrip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/conversion_script This is also true of the truncated IP address 11.105, which has many many edits due to a bug in the first version of MediaWiki (I created an account under that name to avoid impersonation): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/11.105 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
