As far as I know, the account approval process on the toolserver is fairly lax. As long as you have some credible Wikipedia-related reason to use the toolserver, whether tools or research, you should be able to get an account. Am I wrong? Have any researchers been rejected from the toolserver? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
