Created attachment 14030
  --> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=14030&action=edit
Random user names for the test of Wikimetrics (taken from it.wikisource 10th
anniversary contest participants)

Step to reproduce:
* create a new cohort
* choose a name (e.g. "it_wikisource_test_2")
* fill in a description
* choose a default project (e.g. "itwikisource")
* upload file "it_ws_contest_participants.csv" attached
* Validate as "User names"
* Hit "Upload CSV"

You will get "Error! Server error while processing your upload".

In this case some names should be quoted and following the same procedure while
uploading the file named "it_ws_contest_participants_quoted.csv" works.

The example currently used seems to stress the fact that quoting is not
necessary (cfr. User Names can even contain commas, but these need a project at
the end,en).

A more descriptive error message could help, also a couple of words about
quoting CSV files would not hurt (also note that spreadsheet softwares like
LibreOffice Calc can automatically quote values when exporting to CSV).
