Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia, because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes of a company or group. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

In addition, accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing, and your username should reflect this.

Wikipedia is not a promotion website; this kind of activity is considered spam on Wikipedia, and forbidden by policies, and usernames that appear to be promotional also violate our username policy. Editing on Wikipedia is not intended to be used to promote anyone, or anything, and its use for that purpose will result in blocking of the account involved.

If you feel that there has been a mistake, please appeal this block by adding the text ((unblock|Your reason here)) below or contacting the administrator who has blocked you. Your reason should include a clear response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy. Please check that your new username has not already been taken here. Law type! snype? 23:39, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guys / gals -this is a bit harsh! As explained earlier I only created the Ellatron page in order to avoid the 'red link of death' on Nick Awde's bio page - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nick_Awde - how do you propose we resolve this? Surely Google news is not deemed sufficiently font of all wisdom that it guides all actions round here? Surely?

OK, now I get it - this is now about my account name, no longer about the Ellatron page.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Explanation of name is fair and I would like to see you available to comment at AfD.

Proposed deletion of Ellatron[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ellatron, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

A non-notable piece of software - absolutely no mention on google news. This article was created by the company that produces the software

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod)) notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
