I try to follow new my project in github from dashboard (url `https://circleci.com/add-projects/gh/wreulicke`).  
But the following failed.

I also try to follow using CircleCI API v1.1.  
As a result, deploy keys and webhook is registerd to github my repository.  
But my project is not found in dashboard `https://circleci.com/add-projects/gh/wreulicke`.

```auto

Renames aren’t always smoothlu handled, based on the data GitHub API gives us.

I believe we were also having issues connecting to GitHub API at that time, but I haven’t seen any recent issues.

Can you please have an admin follow these steps:

1. Remove all CircleCI webhooks and services from your GitHub repo settings.
2. Tell the project to stop building on CircleCI through “Project settings”.
3. Add the project back on CircleCI.
