December 2018

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, (HELPER)Wikibot, 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:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. 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 "Email this user" on their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. 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 Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:54, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Requested username:

WikiHelper (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

blocked for using a name with "bot"

Decline reason:

The username "WikiHelper" is already taken and is not available. Please choose another username. You can check if a username is available by using this search tool. If your search comes back as "there is no global account for XXXX", then the username is available. Once you find an appropriate username that isn't taken, just create another unblock request like this one and I'll be happy to get you taken care of. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:35, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Requested username:

WikiAssistant (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Changing name since account got blocked for the word "bot"

Decline reason:

I don't think so. You created your now deleted user page with "Hello! I am an automated Bot made by Wikipedia to correct any errors randomly found on articles. See you around!" That is just a lie, and makes your intentions entirely suspect. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 21:25, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Renamed and unblocked, welcome back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:13, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Look, I was just trying to have some fun. Trust me, had I known there was a rule against it and that I would be banned minutes after joining, I wouldn't have done it. If you won't change my name to WikiHelper903, change it to AnonymousUser903 so I'm no longer being criticized. (HELPER)Wikibot (talk) 02:54, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

• I have globally renamed (HELPER)Wikibot to WikiHelper903, but I just want to clarify one thing just for the record before I unblock - can you confirm that you will not run any unapproved bot or automated script using this account? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:03, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
• Yes, I was Not intending on using any bot scripts. I will use this account myself, not with any automated scripts.

  OK, all done. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:13, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
