Description Riley Huntley 2012-12-24 06:35:40 UTC 
When creating an account, I have noticed a few times that it says the account is too similar to another account. While this is not a problem for me as I am an account creator, I have noticed that the similar account reported does NOT exist. 

Here is the error notice: 
http://puu.sh/1Dxu9 
Here is the account:
http://puu.sh/1Dxuk

"User account "Hamed-eng" is not registered"
Comment 1 TyA 2012-12-24 06:38:55 UTC 
There does exist a global account for "Hamed-eng" though.
Comment 2 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2012-12-24 06:39:48 UTC 
User:Hamed-eng is an account registered at fa.wikipedia.org ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Hamed-eng ). I don't think this is a bug. Closing as invalid.
Comment 3 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2012-12-24 06:45:25 UTC 
Actually on second thought - Well the behaviour is correct, the error message is clearly confusing. re-opening since the error message should be more clear.
Comment 4 Riley Huntley 2012-12-24 06:47:39 UTC 
Sorry about that, the conflicting account was not detected on ACC and I never thought to check the SUL. Thanks for re-opening to fix the error message though
Comment 5 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2012-12-24 07:49:27 UTC 
changing component to CentralAuth (The CentralAuth ext has the glue code linking centralAuth and AntiSpoof, so I think that's where the message change would have to be made)
Comment 6 Dereckson 2012-12-24 13:13:24 UTC 
What do you offer as better and clearer formulation?
Comment 7 Dereckson 2012-12-24 13:15:04 UTC
