Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: Use of the suffix "-bot" is LIMITED TO AUTHORIZED BOT ACCOUNTS. 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:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 02:17, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know the policy. The fact is I'm waiting for an account usurpation request (Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL): when they'll give me that account, I'll use it instead of this, that I keep for an eventual future contribution as interwiki bot. I'm sorry, I thought was necessary to register myself to advance an account usurpation request SynthBot (talk) 13:26, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. I'll take this off UAA. Daniel Case (talk) 18:39, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
