Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Pockets of Brilliance Research Institute", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Home Lander (talk) 00:50, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Your draft
Welcome to Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that your draft, User:Pockets of Brilliance Research Institute/sandbox, would be unlikely to be accepted as it stands as a Wikipedia article. The following includes some links to basic policies and guidelines which I hope will help explain this.

First, we discourage the writing of an autobiography. It is hard for people to write about themselves in the neutral way that is expected, without seeming to promote or convey a favourable view of the subject.

Furthermore, articles about living people should always be based on reliable published sources independent of the person. Any statement of opinion about the person's work and achievements should be cited to such sources.

Our Introduction page will introduce you to what Wikipedia is really about. If you are looking to create a new article, this page will be extremely helpful. And finally, if you have any questions, you may ask at the Teahouse, a friendly place for newcomers where experienced editors can answer your questions.

August 2017
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, 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 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bishonen &#124; talk 09:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
