RFC discussion of your username (Franchise Consultant)
Hello, Franchise Consultant, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Wikipedia has a policy on what usernames editors can use. Unfortunately, concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with that policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. -- ¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 02:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Franchise Consultant. While there had been some discussion here about whether your username met Wikipedia policy on what usernames editors can use, the result was to allow it, and that discussion has now been closed. If you would like to see what concerns were raised, you can still find that discussion in the archive (). You do not need to change your username. However, if you ever wish to do so, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. -- High InBC (Need help? Ask me) 03:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Brand Expansion
A tag has been placed on Brand Expansion, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Onorem 02:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Your commercial link
I see you have already encountered trouble in trying to promote BrandExpansion.com here at Wikipedia. Please stop adding this unnecessary commercial link to the Brand article. - David Oberst 00:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Re:Brand Expansion
QUESTION....I have tried to post several times and each time I change content per your request.....I then finally get and acceptable post and then you forward that post to a more comprehensive post....so I say OK...looks good let me add a link with all the other external links that provide the same information......and you delete and give me a stop or die warning....Please explain...I do not understand how or what you want....I think I could add great value to the viewer but for some reason you don't see it the same....Please explain??
 * I redirected the article because I didn't think there was any information there that couldn't be found in the Brand article, and it appeared that you were going to continue to change "brand expansion" to "brandEXPANSION" to try to get some sort of advertisement out of it.
 * Wikipedia is not here for you to advertise on. The link you kept adding, after being asked to stop, was to a site that primarily exists to sell products or services.  This is against the external links policy.  You may also want to read WP:COI, WP:CORP, and WP:SPAM.
 * If you want to edit the Brand Expansion article, feel free. It doesn't need to remain a redirect if there is going to be more information there. If you do decide to edit there, please be sure to have reliable secondary sources.
 * As far as the stop or die warning goes - You had received multiple warnings which you had apparently chosen to ignore completely. At least this one inspired you to attempt to have a conversation.--Onorem 10:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
