User talk:BsivkoBot

[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "BsivkoBot", 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. N.J.A. | talk 14:18, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- It's a bot, everything is under control ;) Bsivko (talk) 14:31, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Bsivko: To avoid such issues in the future, I would strongly recommend creating accounts whilst logged in. This can be done by using Special:CreateAccount while logged into Bsivko. That would probably have prevented the bot account being templated. As a friendly reminder and speaking as both an administrator and bot approvals group member, I would also strongly recommend filing a bot request for approval and reviewing the bot policy. If you edit as BsivkoBot without approval, it will be blocked as an unauthorized bot account. If you have any questions, please feel free to ping me. --TheSandDoctor Talk 02:43, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information and details. I'll follow your description if the need arise to start bot activity in en-wiki. Bsivko (talk) 12:03, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
