Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Jakethebot) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it Your username ends in "bot", which is reserved for 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 ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. demize (t · c) 03:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * i will be happy to change my name but it is all put together and it is in reffrenced to the comic the bot man made back in the 1840 i belive so jakethebot should not be giving off the inpressions it is a robot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakethebot (talk • contribs) 03:35, 19 January 2011
 * As per the Username Policy, it should not end in "bot" as the ending is reserved for bot accounts. If you have another username you can think of that isn't taken (see Special:ListUsers to see if it is taken) then you can ask for a username change at WP:CHUS and it will be completed rather quickly.
 * Also, when you leave a comment on a talk page you should sign it with 4 tildes ( ~ ) so that people know who was commenting.  demize  (t · c) 03:44, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Jakethebot, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Materialscientist (talk) 03:49, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
