Thanks for the report Laura. Could you attach the csv that's giving you the problem? And I assume you're selecting enwiki as the default project.

file trying to upload
Attaching file I was trying to upload. I also tried to upload a version that said enwiki in the project column, and one without the name of the project in the second column.

Ok, it looks like the problem is a mac-os specific character in one user's name. I'll add some code to fail gracefully, but as far as I can tell her name with that character in it is not valid. Here's where it would point if it was valid:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sarah_sof%EF%BF%BDa.
I'll reply back when the graceful failure is implemented.

Thank you very much for identifying the problem. I very much appreciate that. I have no idea there was a character like that in there. :/ It shows up when I view it as í on my file. I removed it and successfully uploaded it.

Ok Laura, this has been fixed and you can upload the file as you originally uploaded it. It's ok that character is in there, Wikimetrics was definitely at fault for failing like that. Thanks for pointing it out! Also, if there were any hiccups for the last 10 minutes or so, it's because I was kicking the tires on the server.
