Thanks very much for keeping us up to date, Keegan. When I look at the Special:UsersWhoWillBeRenamed on enwiki, I note a large number of accounts whose registration date is listed as today, even though I realise that's not possible. It might be helpful to include an explanation of that apparent anomaly in the announcement and/or the schema. (I'm assuming it has something to do with the accounts being very old, but it sure looks weird.)

Hey Risker,
Those accounts are ones older than our registration tables. The date listed in that special page will be changed once we agree on the format:

This should be fixed before any major explanation or reworded is needed, I didn't want to let that hold this up even more :)
