Hello, I'm Skynxnex. An edit that you recently made to Python (programming language) seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Skynxnex (talk) 21:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@Skynxnex Hi. This edit was a one-off. I apologize for the problem. BZPN.bot (talk) 23:34, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "BZPN.bot", 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. -Gadfium (talk) 23:15, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@Gadfium Hi. The username policy does not specifically prohibit the use of the "-bot" suffix. BZPN.bot (talk) 23:34, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

My reading of this notice is that it has bot in its name but doesn't have an active Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval and doesn't have the bot flag, maybe? You probably should read Wikipedia:Bot policy if you haven't already. I'm not sure the English Wikipedia is the best place to be testing a new bot before it is granted approval. (Note I'm not an expert on bots and Wikipedia but hopefully this helps.) Skynxnex (talk) 23:47, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

The account has "-bot" in its name, but that's not against the rules. This account is not used to test the bot on Wikipedia. BZPN.bot (talk) 23:57, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, BZPN.bot, contains the suffix "-bot", which is generally reserved for authorized bot accounts. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

• To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
• If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If your username is not in violation of Wikipedia's username policy, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page here: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. Alexf^(talk) 00:08, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
