User talk:Minorhbot

October 2012
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Minorhbot", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it contains the suffix "-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. Alexf(talk) 11:37, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

From Minorhbot: Hi! My apologies, i didn't know that 'bot' in a username wasn't allowed. we are medical students from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, we research the therapy and clinical evidence of hyperbaric medicine, also known as HBOT. We apologise for the misunderstanding and we will change our username immediately.

Apparently, it's easier to create a new account. We continue our work on MinorHBOerasmus. I hope that does not violate the wikipedia policy. Is there a way to delete this account?
 * It is not possible to delete accounts. Accounts can be locked to prevent further use. Please confirm, using this account when you have a new one and we will block this one.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Minorhbot, contains the suffix "-bot", which is generally reserved for authorized bot accounts. 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. Alexf(talk) 13:39, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
