User talk:Nal-Bot

February 2013
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Nal-Bot", 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) 12:53, 15 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Alexf. I'm Nalzogul, member of vi.wiki. Nal-Bot is a bot owned by me. It is used to exchange interwiki links with the Vietnamese Wikipedia. You can visit Nal-Bot page in vi.wiki. Nalzogul (talk) 15:28, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * You're not listed as a regigstered bot account on this Wikipedia (I don't know if you need registration on viwiki, but you do here). You should let the bot approvals group know of your presence to keep this from happening again. Daniel Case (talk) 18:18, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Two things: I would echo what has already been said, if you do not gain approval from WP:BAG this account will be blocked as a n unauthorized bot. We don't really have a choice in the matter, all bots must be approved. Secondly, I am fairly sure that the introduction of Wikidata is going to make interwiki links obolete/automatic anyway.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for running a bot script on this account without approval. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Under the bot policy, all automated scripts must be approved by the Bot Approvals Group to ensure that they perform safe and useful functions without stressing system resources.
