Apologies for the mistaken warning. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

We all make mistakes :) Winbots 04:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Cluebot

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

Thanks for letting me know. I have taken the bot offline until I fix it. :) Winbots 17:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Your bot has removed my warning. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

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)

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:

• 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 asking for a "third opinion", or 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.

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)

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)

The policy is Rather clear on this. Q ^{T C} 13:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

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. Winbots 17:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Wasn't the advertising that worried me, was the Bot part, a less scrupulous editor could report directly to UFA and you'd probably get blocked. Q ^{T C} 17:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok, names that I would accept (assuming an admin can move everything to the new name) are, in order of preference: Cobi or ClueNet. Though you may have problems with ClueNet since it is the name of the current organization that I am co-founder of. See here. Winbots 17:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I personally dont have a problem with naming yourself ClueNet, the {{UsernameConcern}} template is preloaded with some slightly loaded phrases which makes it sound like I'm more upset then I really am. Really was looking for more of a "Hey here's the guidelines, just a FYI incase you might want to change your name so you dont have to worry about accidentally getting banned as a rogue bot" Q ^{T C} 18:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Clue Bot

Hi, great work with the bot! But in cases like this can you make the report the user to AIV thanks. --Chris ^g 11:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

The bot tries to normally. In that case it had an unusual tag on the end of the warning which confused the bot. The bot usually looks for <!-- Template:uw-*N[im] -->, where N is the number of the warning, and [im] is optional. So it didn't detect the last warning, so it added it's own.
