User talk:Mofembot

June 2009
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your article contributions. This is a simple mistake to make and is easy to correct. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience!

usernames
Hi. Sorry for the inconvenience, but names that end with the string "-bot" are typically reserved for authorized bot accounts. I strongly suggest — although this is not an order — that you ask to have your username changed.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. You're doing well in general; keep it up. DS (talk) 17:58, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi there — this is the first time I've used the "talk" feature, so hopefully I will get it right. I am very reluctant to change my username — I've been "mofembot" since the sometime in the late 1980s (yes, I've been online for a long time, and was a listserv owner and admin back in the dawn of time; I even remember when the internet was arpanet and all). Anyway, I don't really have a good alternative online name to fall back on, either… so … I hope it won't create any problems if I keep my name (which pre-dates the bots, honestly!)

Proposed deletion of Sue Booth-Forbes
Hello, Mofembot. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Sue Booth-Forbes, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Sue Booth-Forbes to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks,

tips for creating new pages
Hi Mofembot,

I noticed that some pages of Mormon feminists you started were deleted. Often it's easier to make a page in your sandbox (there's a link at the top of the page next to "talk"). That way you can add citations at your leisure, and then when you're happy with the page, you can move it to the mainspace. I've made a few pages for women in the LDS church, and it can be frustrating because sometimes even if other Mofems would consider them notable there simply aren't enough sources for them to pass Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If you like I can help you determine if the people you'd like to make pages for are notable and what kinds of sources exist for them--just let me know :-).

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Mofembot, 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) and continue editing.'''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 and create the account yourself. 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 below. 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 "Email 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 think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. 331dot (talk) 15:46, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

I see that this was discussed a few years ago and kind of withered; but it is true that usernames cannot end in 'bot' as that is reserved for authorized bot accounts. I would suggest simply rearranging your name might suffice("botmofem"). 331dot (talk) 15:49, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Upon some personal reflection, I would apologize for my hastiness and I have ended the block. I should have continued the discussion from earlier since you have used your username here for many years. I responded to a report at WP:UAA about this username. I would strongly advise you to consider changing it, perhaps as I advised above- but I will not make you do so. I do think you would save yourself some grief if you did, though. 331dot (talk) 16:09, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
