User talk:Svrbot

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Svrbot, 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 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 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 think 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) 10:57, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Request for change of username
I am a new user to Wikipedia and apologise for my ignorance in not knowing that 'bot' was not permitted as part of a username. Please heed this request for a change of my username and if my new requested username is found acceptable, I would be grateful if you could unblock me.

Svrbot → svr1981

 * I've gone ahead and unblocked you so you may request to change your username. Please proceed to WP:CHUS to do so. Thanks. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:19, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Request for administrator assistance
Hi there,

I am new to Wikipedia and have been blocked because my username contains 'bot'. I want to change my username and regain access to editing. How do I do this? At present, I cannot seem to even post a message to the administrator who blocked me, Alexf (I accept that this might be because I do not know how to manouevre around the system). Please help.
