August 2023[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Bot5654", 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. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 23:12, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Bot5654, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia.

If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 23:13, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- I have opened a different account under a new name and linked my ip to that account. Is there a way to archive or remove this account since a made a mistake within the name? I don't want to do anything that is improper and don't want it to look like a Sock puppet or "multiple accounts". What actions should I take on my new account to help with transparency and legitimacy? Bot5654 (talk) 01:18, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- All you need to do is post a link on the two userpages associating the accounts. Instructions on how to post a link are at WP:ALTACCN, but basically:
- With your new account, post this on the userpage for this old account: {{User alternative account | main account}}, replacing "main account" with the name of your new account.
- Also with your new account, post this on the new account's userpage: {{User alternative account name|Bot5654}}
- Then you're done, and can just go on using the new account from now. -- Euryalus (talk) 02:32, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
