User talk:Team87gBOT

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: it ends with the phrase "bot", which is disallowed per Wikipedia's username policy. 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.

Hi,

Sorry for the slow reply. I thought the name bot was supposed to be used for accounts that are going to be bots. I create an account called Team87g and then under that I created the team87gBot (following convention - I think!). We are working on how to do the bot at the moment with plans on submitting something for approval in the next few weeks.

Does this make sense?

Thanks

Dan.

How about I change the name of the account to mutabot or genemutationbot. The aim of this bot is under discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Molecular_and_Cellular_Biology/Proposals#Mutabox:_a_bot-generated_box_in_mammalian_gene_pages.2C_referring_to_mutant_knocked-out_alleles_in_mice
