Thought it would be good to add a list of projects that NBBJ has worked on, since many other entries for architects and architect firms have listed projects.

License tagging for File:Shanghai Bund 002.tif
Thanks for uploading File:Shanghai Bund 002.tif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:07, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

The NBBJ article
Hello Daniel,

You haven't been welcomed yet, so let me first do that:

welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users - please check it out! If you need help, visit Questions or place   on this page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Of course, NBBJ is a good company that deserves a good article. Unfortunately, the way you edited it does not meet our quality criteria, and I had to edit the article accordingly. (See the article's talk page Talk:NBBJ for details.) Please, be aware that Wikipedia is not a means of promotion, nor an indiscriminate collection of information.

Many people at Wikipedia are particularly wary of editors who have a conflict of interest; in particular, your edits seem to fall under our policy WP:SELFPROMOTE. That does not mean that you can't edit the article; it just means that you need to be particularly careful and open to criticism. The first step is to use the article talk page to understand other editors' concerns and explain your edits to them.

I had to remove a number of items from your list because they appeared not notable, since we currently do not have an article on them. That offers a good chance to contribute beyond just that one article, which will help show the Wikipedia community that you are really interested in improving Wikipedia, not just in promoting your company. If, e.g., you feel that the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge and the U.S. Federal Courthouse, Seattle (is that the same as the U.S. Courthouse (Seattle) which is listed at National Register of Historic Places listings in Seattle, Washington?) are noteworthy buildings, then why not create an article on them? I can help you with that. That would be a win-win situation: Wikipedia gets an article about an interesting building, and for you it would provide a less controversial environment to familiarize yourself with editing at Wikipedia, and if the building is described nicely it will be clear to everyone that it will be worth being listed in the NBBJ article.

Similarly, I see that you were having some trouble with images above. The solution to that is simply to allow the pictures to be used under one of these licenses. That would be another win-win situation for Wikipedia and NBBJ: We could offer our readers nice pictures, and you could improve the appearance of NBBJ article and demonstrate the beauty of your buildings to the world.

I can help you with any of these; please don't hesitate to ask me. &mdash; Sebastian 07:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
