Cluebot

Cluebot is listing User:ClueBot/PossibleVandalism for speedy deletion when something like this happens.-Wafulz 15:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know. I have taken the bot offline until I fix it. :) Winbots 17:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Your bot has removed my warning. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
That is because you edited the page while my bot was trying to edit the page. By the way, why were you trying to warn that user even though my bot reverted the vandalism? Winbots 17:19, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

My concern about your username

Hello, Winbots, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet 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:

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. Q T C 10:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'd say the username is fine, it it was WinBot, then I could understand the problem, but WinBots is quite alright, I'd say. Nick 12:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
The policy is Rather clear on this. Q T C 13:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Winbots is derived from an organization that I was president of. It now no longer exists. The only reason I used this name was when I tried to create a username with the name I usually use, it was already taken. At the time of the account creation I was not aware of the Username policy. I wouldn't even consider it advertising because at the time of the account creation, my organization had ceased to exist. If you insist on me changing my name, I will.
