User talk:Strohbot

March 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Strohbot", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because Your name contains 'bot', which is normally reserved for bots on Wikipedia. See WP:MISLEADNAME. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 23:18, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Strohbot, contains the suffix "-bot", which is generally reserved for authorized bot accounts. 

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf^(talk) 12:30, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
