Bot flag and bot username rename request

Seems like Utilizator:Romihaitza is inactive. I have already asked about this but here it is:

I'd also like to have a bot flag here on ro.wikipedia. My bot here is named User:WOPR. I would also like user:WOPR to be renamed to user:Computer.

I'm not sure username Computer is recommended, it might be confused by inexperienced users with a system account. For bot status requests please see Wikipedia:Bot/Cereri de aprobare. --Gutza _D^D+ 9 martie 2008 22:32 (EET)

Hi, I have a tradition of naming the bot after the local word for "Computer". "Computer" seems to be the word for Computer in Romanian. I filed the bot request as you asked but would still like the username rename. -- Cat ^chi? 10 martie 2008 00:12 (EET)

Ok, add your request in section "Cereri curente" (at the bottom of the page) in Wikipedia:Schimbarea numelui de utilizator. Make sure you make the request while being logged in as that user. The title of the section must be the current username; explain the request in the body of the newly-created section. That should be it. --Gutza _D^D+ 10 martie 2008 00:16 (EET)

Please explain your actual reason for the request in English, the current request is absurd (you copied someone else's request, and it now reads "I don't want to use my real name anymore"). --Gutza _D^D+ 12 martie 2008 00:35 (EET)

The account Utilizator:Computer exists, but it has zero edits, so it should be available by usurpation. For that, you will need to leave a message on the talk page of that account and request permission to use that name. If no reply comes in a week (which is the most probable outcome) then the account will be moved from Utilizator:Computer to Utilizator:Computer (uzurpat) to make room for you. More on this procedure in English at en:Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. — AdiJapan 12 martie 2008 07:02 (EET)

I know about usurption. However I do not know Romanian. Can you tell me what to post on the talk page? -- Cat ^chi? 13 martie 2008 18:15 (EET)

I left a message at Discuţie Utilizator:Computer. You will have to wait 7 days for an answer. Cheers. — AdiJapan 13 martie 2008 18:22 (EET)

Robot flag set

Congratulations, WOPR has the robot flag set on the Romanian Wikipedia! --Gutza _D^D+ 18 martie 2008 21:59 (EET)

Hi, why was the bot rename denied? :/ -- Cat ^chi? 21 martie 2008 11:40 (EET)

I have already explained above why I didn't consider your request for renaming the robot's account. --Gutza _D^D+ 21 martie 2008 13:26 (EET)

I do not think that would happen. Computers by nature are automated and I use this for my bot name on many other wikis. No one complained about a confusion to date. Bear in mind each of the bots edit are clearly marked as a bot edit. -- Cat ^chi? 30 martie 2008 18:35 (EEST)

I'm not sure what you're talking about, I was referring to this. --Gutza _D^D+ 30 martie 2008 20:21 (EEST)

Oh. Sorry I was trying to copy the Romanian template and this happened. It was an accident, I apologize. I name my bot under the local word for "Computer" on all wikis I operate my bot. I'd like to do the same here. -- Cat ^chi? 2 aprilie 2008 15:25 (EEST)

Great, please write that explanation in English at Wikipedia:Schimbarea numelui de utilizator. --Gutza _D^D+ 2 aprilie 2008 21:20 (EEST)
