Hiya Maurice! Thank you for working on this.

Regarding the aforementioned user, are you using the report I linked you to, the one Scratchpad’s Application Programming Interface (API) generates at http://scratchpad.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&aulimit=100&aufrom=Andy1999 ?

The reason I ask is that I would bet that the account he made his first edits with here at Scratchpad is one of the five lowest  numbers on that list. I tried to find a way to sort that list by, but it is not possible. So, try this: &mdash; Spike  Toronto  09:43, December 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * that report lists every  account that has ever edited here
 * this means you don’t have to hunt them down; the list is complete
 * that account – User:Andy199999999999999999999999999999999999999999997 – is one of his most recent accounts
 * it has one of the highest  numbers of the accounts on that list
 * also, its edits are all late November
 * therefore, we can rule out that account as being the source of his earliest Scratchpad edits
 * 1) Go to http://scratchpad.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&aulimit=100&aufrom=Andy1999
 * 2) Pluck out the FIVE (5) accounts with the lowest id numbers
 * 3) Which ONE (1) of those five has the earliest edit?
