Stefan, you can really have only one account. Drmies (talk) 00:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I created this account to keep better track of script assisted updating of about 120 pages, one time pass. Not continuous updating, just help with a manual repetitive one time task Demogstef (talk) 00:55, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the bot policy and this seemed not to be a bot, but a script, as I approve every change manually Demogstef (talk) 00:57, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if I violated any policies, I was just trying to do a good job as a Wikipedia editor who's still learning.

Thank you for understanding! Demogstef (talk) 01:12, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing for running unapproved bot scripts, according to checkuser data.~~

Under the bot policy, all automated scripts must be approved by the Bot Approvals Group to ensure that they perform safe and useful functions without stressing system resources.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:36, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:ToBeFree, thanks--I had no idea. Perhaps that explains the alternate account; perhaps they will respond and explain. Drmies (talk) 00:41, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, thanks from me too: your message was very helpful; I didn't think about running a check before I saw it. Yeah, I hope so too. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:43, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I created this account to keep better track of script assisted updating of about 120 pages, one time pass.

I checked the bot policy and this seemed not to be a bot, but a script, as I don't post any changes until I approve them manually.

Sorry if I violated any policies, I was just trying to do a good job as a Wikipedia editor who's still learning.

Thank you for understanding! Demogstef (talk) 01:12, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for the clarification, Demogstef. This is fine! If you manually approve each edit, you don't need a bot request for approval. You should disclose the connection to your main account on your user page, however. Please take a moment to create your user page by clicking your currently-red name; the user page should mention which main account is behind this secondary account, and it should probably explain that you're not running a bot but approve each edit manually before it is made. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
