Username

Your username may be under WP:MISLEADNAME as usernames with "Bot" in them are used for authorised bot accounts and I don't think you are. Please read Wikipedia:Changing username and decide on a new username which meets the username policy instead of using this misleading "JoeBotG" one.

Thank you for taking an interest in my username, JoeBotG. While it may appear whimsical or arbitrary at first glance, it actually holds a great deal of personal significance to me. The name was originally coined by my grandfather during my childhood — a playful yet affectionate nickname that he created especially for me. Over time, it became more than just a name; it evolved into a symbol of our bond and a reminder of the warmth and creativity he brought into my life.

I’ve chosen to retain JoeBotG as my online identity not only out of sentimentality, but also as a quiet tribute to him. It serves as a small but meaningful way of keeping that connection alive in the digital spaces I inhabit. I appreciate the opportunity to share that context, and I hope it adds a layer of understanding to what might otherwise seem like a simple username. JoeBotG (talk) 09:41, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

While your username may have personal meaning to you, I'm afraid it is not permitted on Wikipedia, as outlined here. 'Bot' accounts have specific names and use on Wikipedia, and you are not permitted to use an account name that may be confused as being a bot account. Please request a change of name, or your account will most likely be blocked. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 16:40, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello there, welcome to my talk page. Im unsure why people care so much about other members usernames. If they cared more about articles and pages, vandalism would reduce! But hey-ho, some people are just the way they are... JoeBotG (talk) 14:27, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, JoeBotG, contains the letters "-bot", which is generally reserved for authorized bot accounts. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy .

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.

• To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then make a new one.
• If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Important items to note:

• The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
• The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available.
