User talk:Bot-386

October 2020[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Bot-386", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it contains the prefix "-bot", which is generally reserved for authorized bot accounts. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 19:29, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Bot-386, contains the suffix "-bot", which is generally reserved for authorized bot accounts.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice,. Alexf^(talk) 19:34, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are a positive contributor. But note per WP: SOCKLEGIT, if you do make a new account, state this was your old account. Then you won't be reblocked. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 19:36, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
