edit'I noticed that your username, AusTerrapinBotEdits, 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. Wifione ....... Leave a message 18:58, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below). 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. 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:
{{unblock|Your reason here}} , but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 04:42, 28 September 2010 (UTC)AusTerrapinBotEdits (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: This is now moot as I have been approved for a bot trial (AWB approval here. The account needs to be unblocked before I can conduct the trial. Decline reason: You're wikilawyering. The username implies that the account is a bot, which it isn't, so it's a violation of the policy. You can change your username (use {{unblock-un}} for that) to, say, AusTerrapin (AWB) or something or create a new account with a username that doesn't imply it's a bot or file a BRFA if this account is supposed to be doing fully automatic editing with no human pressing the save button.

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. |
