Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "GrinBot", 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.

- This bot is being a bot since about 2005. It is named bot because it is a bot. You can find old edits on its pre-SUL account (and don't ask me who and why hve renamed it here, since there shall not have been any clashing, or not any I'm aware of).
- It is not a "permanent bot", and usually sleeps but when I am required to make automated edits (as right now fixing up CommonsDelinker buggy edits) the bot does the work, to make it easy to see separate edits from mine.
- I do not think there's a need to make it more botty (espcially since it's not botflagged so it's clearly visible in the revhistory) but feel free to request reasonable actions. Thank you. grin ✎ 21:26, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
