While we were discussing setting YurikBot bot flag on

accounts all over wikipedia , someone created a YurikBot account on
jawikipedia (according to Yurik, I can not read japanese)
It could OF COURSE just be a unexpected creation, but I fear it was
rather done on purpose.
I'd like that a check is run on who did this, and that this person is
politely ask to hand out the password to Yurik. Can someone help ?
Thanks
PS : I tried to use the check user, but it seems not to be working.
Just ask a bureaucrat to rename the account using Special:Renameuser,
then you can recreate it with a different password. I don't think
there's any need to find out who did it. It's just one of those silly
little things that bored kids do sometimes.
