Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. You have violated one or more of our rules, including rules against adding spam links, posting advertisements, using Wikipedia for promotion, and editing inappropriately with a conflict of interest. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. See Conflict of interest for the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals here, you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

If you do intend to make contributions that are in line with Wikipedia's policies, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames.  Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

See also Appealing a block for more information.

A name change would indeed solve one of the two problems. The other problem was editing with a conflict of interest- we avoid editing related to our own businesses and enterprises. What kinds of edits would you be making with your new username? There's no problem with a name change, as long as you're going to be avoiding writing about CPLE and are now interested in helping write the encyclopedia as a volunteer. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cple
A tag has been placed on Cple, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

To avoid the charge of conflict of interest, I will fundamentally redo the CPLE entry to make sure it fits the wikipedia guidelines. This is not intended to be a page that shamelessly promotes. It is supposed to be an informative page about the research. Sorry for the confusion!
 * Reason: please state a reason CPLEstaff (talk) 14:22, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry; I must not have explained it well the first time. You are a person with a conflict of interest, because you are writing about your own organization.  To avoid a conflict of interest, you should not write about your own organization.  If your organization is truly notable, then someone outside the organization will write about it.  Now that you know that you won't be writing about your organization, do you still want an account?  There's no need to have one, unless you're interesting in volunteering to help write the encyclopedia. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I would still like to have an account. Will the current cple entry be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CPLEstaff (talk • contribs)
 * You were supposed to tell us what new user name you want. I echo what FisherQueen has said: you should wait until someone with no COI writes about the CPLE. Given that, please tell us what you intend to write about here if you get a new account. &mdash; RHaworth 18:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
