Hi, The case I found says:
- Registered: XX feb 2011 (4 years ago), which is actually the date when the CentralAuth claims that the account was "attached on". But: - First edit: XX may 2006 This dates do not match when an account was created locally and when an account was created globally. Also, the field says "registered" but shows something else. I believe Asaf could be right, and would agree on a one-time job to backdate the SUL accounts to the actual first edit of each now-unified account happened, of course, when things settle down. Thanks.
