User talk:CPLOLeu

Welcome!
Hello, CPLOLeu, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as European Day of Speech and Language Therapy, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! MelanieN (talk) 23:46, 19 October 2014 (UTC) Hello John or Melanie I would very much appreciate your help as this is my first time to try to post an entry on Wikipedia and this is on behalf of a genuine not-for-profit organization. I am sorry to say that I have found the instructions difficult to follow but hope that I have understood sufficiently the types of improvements I need to make for this entry to be acceptable. If it is possible I would like to request that this entry is not deleted but is moved to what I see you call a "sandbox" page, so that I can work on it further. On Saturday (25th Oct) I spent a long time to improve the first entry but I have seen today to my disappointment that wasn't accepted - or possibly I had not clicked properly to save my changes. In any case, I had not thought to copy and save the revised text myself, so I will now have to start again. I will be very happy to work with you if you will allow me some additional time before this entry is permanently deleted. Thank you, Hazel CPLOLeu (talk) 14:37, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of European Day of Speech and Language Therapy


The article European Day of Speech and Language Therapy has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This anniversary or "day" does not appear to be notable as Wikipedia defines it. The only reference I could find was on the web page of the sponsoring association. That association has no article here, so there is no possibility of a redirect.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 14:37, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Alexf This is my first entry on Wikipedia and I am trying to understand the guidance notes so that I can follow these. I tried to improve the entry on 25th Oct in response to the warning that the page would be deleted, but think that possibly I didn't save that properly. I am now asking if it is possible to have this moved to a "sandbox" page so that I can have more time to improve this item. I think that I also need to change my user name according to your policy - I will do that next but don't want to click off this page yet in case I can't find my way back again! I very much appreciate your assistance and hope that I am submitting this correspondence properly. Very best wishes Dr Hazel Roddam CPLOLeu (talk) 14:47, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
