 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Alexf(talk) 01:57, 16 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Alex, for reviewing my article.
 * While it may appear to be advertizing or promotion, it is not. I have zero affiliation with the CELBAN, which is owned by CCLB, and administrated by the CELBAN Centre, a subsiduary of Touchstone Institute. I do not know anyone at these organizations. Nor am I getting paid to write anything. As such there is no conflict of interest. And there are zero intentions to share my account.
 * The CELBAN is an exam akin to the CELPIP (Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program), which are based in the CLB (Canadian Language Benchmarks). It is an exam created in 2004 by Red River College for Internationally Educated Nurses to get licensed in Canada. When I started the article, I was informed that one had been created previously, but that it had been abandoned. So I started afresh only to discover that many of the terms used in Canada in reference to the CLB are not included in Wikipedia: so there is a body of knowledge that is missing here, to the detriment to nurses seeking licensure and employment in Canada.
 * I have a BSc and an MEd, so I know how to write in may styles and formats and can certainly create unbiased articles on topics no one else seems to know about when it comes to the Canadian Language Benchmarks and potentially other Canadian terms, concepts, etc.
 * I did get a message from Uhai about the name. I swiftly replied, "When choosing a name, they were all taken. When I used the Global account name search I saw several other business type names, so I created this one. I just requested the name change adding my name before CELBANPrep Publishing. Thanks for catching that!"
 * When it comes to the name I chose to open this account, I had problems because all of them were taken. When I used the look-up, Global account information (Special:CentralAuth) as suggested. I typed in "A" and saw 3 A & A businesses. I typed in "B" and saw 5 more. So I was like, "Ok, I can use CELBANPrep Publishing."
 * My name change was rejected. "The request to rename "CELBANPrep Publishing" to "World of Input" could not be completed.
 * Note from the declining user: There's more to your block than just the username. Your account has also been used for advertising and/or promotion. Please deal with the problem through an unblock request on your user talk page according to the instructions given. (Se the message posted by Alexf on 01:57 hrs, 16 November 2023 (UTC).)
 * I attempted the name change the way you suggested. I don't know if I did it correctly. There is nothing there to show that I did.
 * I appreciate what you do for Wikipedia, however, assumptions were made. I hope that I have been able to clarify them.

 * You need to follow the instructions in the block notice above to request an unblock where you both propose a new username for your account and address the concerns regarding your account being used for advertising or promotion. Uhai (talk) 17:29, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you Uhai. I attempted so many things, last night. I could not figure out how to follow the instructions. With your prompting I made another attempt, and now I see and understand how it works. I appreciate you taking the time to guide me! :) CELBANPrep Publishing (talk) 18:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Uhai, I just wanted to add a note to you, thanking you for your patience, kindness, guidance, and direction. I felt welcomed and informed by your response. Thank you for being a human being on the other side of this computer, adding humanity to the learning process I began. CELBANPrep Publishing (talk) 13:50, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

I've renamed you. 331dot (talk) 10:27, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Unblock discussion
No one will willingly read the massive WP:WALLOFTEXT you've persistently posted, compete with quotes of what others wrote. Please concisely and clearly describe what you did to get blocked, what you would do instead, and what non promotional, constructive edits you would make. It is unlikely you will be unblocked to edit about anything with which you have a conflict of interest or about anything you have written about promotionally. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:26, 6 January 2024 (UTC)


 * This is hard to wade through, but is it OK to unblock? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No. His name at the time of block was User:CELBANPrep Publishing (see filter log). Now he claims no connection to the company. Massive wall of text will not help this case. I am not convinced user plans to contribute to other subjects constructively, but continue advertising with COI. User must explain in two sentences the reasoning,. At this moment I would not agree to unblock. -- Alexf(talk) 02:51, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I knew that WP:WALLOFTEXT was too big to make sense of. At least for me. A week ago I left a note asking you to concisely and clearly describe what you did to get blocked, what you would do instead, and what non promotional, constructive edits you would make. It is unlikely you will be unblocked to edit about anything with which you have a conflict of interest or about anything you have written about promotionally. My first thought was to decline this out-of-hand. I was right. --  Deepfriedokra (talk) 06:18, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
