User talk:SinBot~enwiki

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: Names that end in "bot" are reserved for authorized bot accounts. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

April 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

I beg to differ. It was constructive. Check their reference for yourself as someone else did with a name I can't remember. They agree with me. You say your reverted that to a level 1 warning. What is that? You know, if your going to be an administrator, you should check the references first. SinBot (talk) 21:37, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Username Concern
Just dropping by to see if you have had a chance to review the message I left for you (above). Did you get a chance to look at the username change page? TN X Man 21:29, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Check your talk page dude. SinBot (talk) 21:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Your account has been blocked indefinitely, as your username does not meet the username policy. However, you are welcome to contribute under a different username. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. TN X Man  21:57, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to chime in here and see if I can calm things down a bit. First: I 100% agree with the edit you made that Firestorm reverted as vandalism, as does another editor at that page, and I have restored your edit. Second, though: I find it somewhat bothersome that you are a teacher or professor, because you seem to be unable to read and follow directions, which is something you should be teaching all your students to do. At Tnxman's talk page he specifically requests that if he posts on your talk page, you should respond there instead of at his own talk page. He 's [was] watching changes to this page, so you don't [didn't] have to worry about making sure he knows you replied. On the same note, the page where you chose your username and password specifically says this:
 * Your username must not:
 * be offensive or confusing
 * contain names of celebrities, notable world figures or events, or known Wikipedians
 * contain existing company, organization, or group names (including non-profit organizations)
 * contain words like "bot" or "script" that refer to automated editing processes
 * contain titles like "admin" or "sysop" that imply authority on Wikipedia
 * contain domain names or email addresses
 * Yes, the system allows you to create an account with this name, but the instructions specifically say not to. This is because a name with bot is acceptable for accounts that are used by automated bots. No one is trying to force you to delete your account or even get rid of your history and talk page, just select a new name that is within those guidelines and use the change username process so that you can abide by Wikipedia's rules and return to editing. Thanks for understanding! Khalfani  Khaldun  22:10, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for stepping in! I do still have this page watchlisted, because I hope that the user will agree to a name change and start contributing constructively. SinBot, if you're reading this, your account is still allowed to edit this page. If you would like to request that your account be unblocked, place below this message and we can go from there.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called SinBot. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name SinBot~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:44, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
