June 2022[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "RealLifeRobot", 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. 0xDeadbeef 10:46, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello 0xDEADBEEF and thanks for the information. I did not know that. Looking at the username policy, the only relevant entry seems to be "Usernames that could be easily misunderstood to refer to a bot". I don't believe that my account name can be "easily misunderstood" because bot accounts typically write the "bot" suffix in upper case or camel case, my user page makes it clear that I am in fact a human and also (and that is my opinion) it is clear that my name is a small joke. I hope that this helps to clear this up. RealLifeRobot (talk) 11:39, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with RealLifeRobot, @0xDeadbeef: the policy reads "Usernames that could be easily misunderstood to refer to a "bot" (which is used to identify bot accounts) or a "script" (which alludes to automated editing processes), unless the account is of that type." The username RealLifeRobot (the term here is obviously Robot, not Bot) can't 'easily' be misunderstood to refer to a bot account in any way. Instead, I think you're at fault here: this looks more like a case of biting a newcomer and over-officiousness. — TREY MATURIN has spoken 18:45, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure that no one will ever believe that this account is a bot account? If this account reverts someone else's edit, are you sure that no one will believe "a robot reverted my edit" instead of "a real person reverted my edit"? 0xDeadbeef 22:50, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that this is definitely not a clear violation of the username policy, but the potential of confusing the account as a robot cannot be denied. Happy editing! 0xDeadbeef 22:58, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Warning vandals[edit]

Hello. First I'd like to thank you for your great anti-vandalism work. I notice you haven't warned users when reverting their problematic edits until today when you installed Twinkle. Make sure you always warn them in the future, as it is very important for them to know they're editing unconstructively. Kind regards ~~ lol1VNIO (I made a mistake? talk to me • contribs) 19:39, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello lol1VNIO. Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I think I'm slowly learning and should write a warning on their talk page if I revert someones edits. I first wanted to learn Wikipedia a bit without tools, but then today started to write a few warnings manually and decided to activate Twinkle after maybe 3-4 warnings that I've written by hand. I'll use Twinkle from now on. Thanks for the hint and happy editing! RealLifeRobot (talk) 19:53, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
