[edit]Hi, thanks for email. So many problems, I'm afraid
- The username issue is straightforward. You cannot edit under a name which appears to represent a company or organisation. if you wish to be unblocked to change your username, please read the box above which will tell you what to do (you can still edit this page). The request will be dealt with by a different administator.
- I deleted your article because
- it was a copyright violation of this page, marked Facebook ©2013. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
- it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines.
- It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Encyclopaedia articles do not include contact details or claim to promote various goals. Some specific examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: will become the platform for experts... maximum gain for the participants... reinforce understanding and tap into the participants' potential and experience... highly informative and stimulating and aim to enhance presentation skills... The course will be delivered by renown experts... and so on
- You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If you are are unblocked or can edit from a personal account, you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

- I don't normally watch my blocked pages because it's obviously not fair for me to arbitrate on my own blocks. However, I did notice your request above. Make sure you you understand the implications of a request for unblocking as explained in the top shaded block Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:07, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
I've put your draft here for now, I'll have a look and comment shortly
- I've tidied up a bit. I've assumed that you made a conscious decision to use American spelling (center, -ize). You could move (don't cut-and-paste) to article space, but I'm not sure that the notability is transparent. Although you have a couple of references, they are not in-line, so it's hard to tell what bits of the text they are supporting, and the non-web reference won't be accessible to most people. So the notability depends on one reference in Croatian. You might be OK, but if I were you, I'd try to find a couple more decent references Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:47, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
- I made these edits. I can't see what else you can do, I'd be inclined to move to article space and see what happens Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:24, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- I've removed the tags above. Don't cut and paste. It's better if you move the article to its correct title so that the edit history is consistent. You should see a move button somewhere. Any problems, let me know Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:40, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
