Galerie kreo, you are invited on a Wikipedia Adventure!
 The Adventure

Username policy, conflict of interest, and promotional editing

 * 1) Your username suggests that this account represents an organisation or business, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. An account must be for personal use of an individual, and no account may have a username which suggests that it is editing on behalf of any group or organisation. Therefore, you must not continue to edit under the present username.
 * 2) Wikipedia's guidelines of conflict of interest strongly discourage editing about a subject which you have a close connection to, such as a business you work for. A Wikipedia article needs to be written from a neutral point of view, which is most likely to be achieved if it is written by an uninvolved outsider.
 * 3) Such language as "original creations by the most important contemporary designers" comes across as an attempt to use Wikipedia for promotion of the gallery, which is contrary to policy. Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion or advertising. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:06, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

As explained above, your username is contrary to Wikipedia policy. Perhaps you did not notice the message above, which, among other things, says "you must not continue to edit under the present username", as you have in fact continued to edit from this account, without a change of username. Your account has therefore been blocked indefinitely from editing. Your username is the only reason for this block, and you are welcome to choose a new username and continue editing. To do so, at the bottom of this page add the text, replacing "your new username here" with a new username you are willing to use. You may like to include "Galerie kreo" in the username, as for example "Paul Dubois at Galerie kreo"; that would make your connection to the gallery clear, but would at the same time satisfy Wikipedia's username policy by making it clear that the account is for an individual. To avoid wasting time asking for a name which is already in use by another editor, you may go to Special:CentralAuth and type your chosen username in to see whether any account of that name already exists. If the username is free, there will be a message in large red letters saying that there is no global account for the username in question. An administrator will assess your request for an unblock, and if there are no problems he or she will accept your request, in which case you will be invited to post the request for change of username at Changing username/Simple.

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Max Semenik (talk) 16:49, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
