Your recent edits

No offense, but I've reverted your recent editions to Emotional Design and Experience design because they could be seen by other editors as self-promotion on your part. Please look over WP:COI, WP:EL, and WP:SPAM to better understand the situation. I hope you'll continue to contribute to Wikipedia. It certainly looks like you have much to offer. --Ronz 17:57, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Emotional Design

(Below is copied from my talk --Ronz 16:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Hi Ronz,

Why was my contribution to Emotional Design and Experience Design removed?

On the Emotional Design page there is even a REAL promotion piece for a company (Sotopia). My piece was only to inform people who want to read about "emotional design" about my non-commercial weblog, where I have many interviews with leading experts who have a lot to say on the topic.

I am also thinking of re-editing the page to make it more general and not only promoting Don Norman, so as you said, I think I have some thoughts and knowledge to offer to that page. But again, I don't think posting my weblog for people to read more about the subject was a conflict of interests.

Thanks, Marco

You're correct about the Sotopia link which I've now removed. Did you look at any of the links I recommended? The immediate problem is that you're placing links to your own site (see WP:COI). It has nothing to do with Don Norman.

As for the book, I've not read it cover to cover, but am fairly familiar with it. You might want to read Wikipedia:Notability (books). I think Don_Norman#User_Centered_Design started as an article on The Design of Everyday Things was started and then merged. --Ronz 16:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
