Thanks for uploading File:The Imperial Crown of Russia.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:56, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at File:The Imperial Crown of Russia.jpg. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A Smile in the Mind, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Michael Johnson, Alan Fletcher and John Gorham. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 09:32, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
hi. I'm sorry - lack of experience. all noted, will not happen again. If I be allowed to make corrections, I will make it right Brandstrategy ( talk) 09:38, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article A Smile in the Mind is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A Smile in the Mind until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 22:26, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
@DGG| talk hi thank you for making edits to A Smile in the Mind article. As admitted in discussion, the book is influential in design world, therefore it will be good to have an article on it, especially that as admitted over 18 contributors has own wikipedia articles already. Please note in current edited version the country of origin stated is US, which is incorrect - should be UK. ISBN number is 978-0714838120. thank you. Brandstrategy ( talk) 10:04, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Unfortunately, there have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.
If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{
unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}
at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See
Special:CentralAuth 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:
{{

at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the
guide to appealing blocks first.

Hi all! thank you for a very constructive and helpful feedback. I understand wikipedia policies and must assure you that none of my submissions were made on a paid basis. I would like to learn from your experience to make it better, and assure you it will not happen again
Decline reason:
Please follow the instructions in the block message and request a new username. Also, I've checked some of your contributions and, as Tokyogirl79 suggests, they were written in a very promotional "marketing speak" style - you will not be allowed to continue writing in that style.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again.

Hello, Brandstrategy. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:30, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
