December 2021
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Carry on bot", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because usernames that end in "bot" are reserved to authorized bot accounts. I realize this is not at all obvious, but you will need to start a new account with a different name, if you continue using this one it will need to be blocked.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Carry on bot, 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 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.
 * Your requested new username cannot already be 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 below this notice.
 * I'm a little puzzled as to why you chose to override my choice to drop a notice without blocking, since they have not edited since I posted it. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:58, 22 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I didn't choose to override your choice; I discovered that you had posted that message after I blocked. As a matter of fact, I almost never block for a username offence alone without other problems, preferring to give a friendly warning, but this time I was influenced by the use of more than one account, each with a bot name. Also it is not true that the editor had not edited since your warning, only that they had not done so using this account. Anyway, the editor is perfectly welcome to create another account without a -bot name. JBW (talk) 22:59, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
