Hello @Yash_04
Kudos for a great shot.
BTW, do you also contribute to the website mumbai.org.uk? I find a striking resemblance in the opening paragraph of a webpage on that site describing the Gateway of India!

Thank you for acknowledging my previous reply @Yash_04 with a change in your profile avatar.
BTW, the Pegman is part of the already mentioned copyrighted material.
What about to use something yours, to avoid to mislead the people that, looking at your profile, can believe you are working or cooperating with Google?
If you have problem with me @ErmesT , unfortunately because of your behaviour I will prefer to delete my local guides connect account and also this post!( If yes pls tell how to delete these)
Thank u so much! BTW I need a help from u regarding @ErmesT , this person is disturbing me on my profile photo every time that’s it’s copy right.

I don’t have any problem with you @Yash_04 , nor with any other Local Guide.
I like the photo you posted, and reminding about the rules is a way to avoid future problem for you, because the use of copyrighted material is not permitted @Yash_04 , as indicated in the rules I shared with you on my previous reply.
The use of that material is clearly defined by the owner (Google), not by the Moderator. When I see this kind of possible problem, I want to always inform the Local Guides, exactly for help them to face unwanted issues.
If your feeling is different, this is not something that I can change.
I want to share a post with you, where a Googler is talking about the same subject: “Choose a profile photo and username that represents who you are. People want to connect with other people, not a logo or business name. Accounts with photos that are obviously branded as businesses may be flagged by the community”. This is one more reason for me to inform you. What you do next, is of course up to you only.
Regards
Ermes
Edit: I am tagging @Deskata for your last request

Hello @Yash_04 ,
As @C_T uncovered the content following your picture may not be yours original. You might not know but it is not allowed to post images or any other content in the forum that infringes on anyone else’s legal rights, including copyright. We always encourage guides to share their original content, so I would like to recommend you edit the text of the post or I’m going to have to move it to the off-topic posts archive.
I would also like to clarify one of the main goals of Connect — and Local Guides — is bringing people together no matter where they are from or what language they speak. We all have the same passion: share our world with others. We want Connect to be a warm and welcoming place for all. @ErmesT simply explained to you to edit your profile pic to adhere to the rules of the program. Thank you for your cooperation.
