User talk:Lincolnbot42

September 2021
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Lincolnbot42", 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.

 * 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.
