You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest policy and notability guidelines, as you did at Rankmaniac 2012. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

We at Wikipedia are aware of caltech's "Rankmaniac" project. While you are free to do whatever you want on the web, you are not free to do it at Wikipedia. Because you have created a Rankmaniac page (since deleted), you have been blocked from editing for one month. However if you undertake to not create an article or edit Wikipedia concerning anything to do with this Rankmaniac project, then the block will be lifted. Please advise any of your colleagues that the same will happen to them if they attempt to breach our policy on this matter. Manning - Administrator (talk) 05:26, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
