User talk:CornwallHeritageTrust

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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

 * To unpick the above, it causes several concerns. Firstly, I suspect you may be breaching our paid disclosure rules, which would require disclosure before making any edits. It's possible you just have a more "regular" conflict of interest, which should still require a notification that you have a conflict of interest. Your phrasing "with details of the heritage sites that people can visit in Cornwall" sounds a lot like you want to create a page for promotional reasons, which is one of the reasons your account was blocked in the first instance (and the actual problematic one). An article would exist to inform about the organisation, even if that includes short coverage about individual locations.
 * I don't know if the CHT is notable or not, but English Heritage is notable because there are a large number of reliable secondary sources (newspapers, mainly) that discuss it in-depth.
 * Your Treffry edit was not egregiously promotional, by any means. Looking at counterparts (both English Heritage and a couple of others, it generally seems that locations do name the charity that owns/oversees them, but when it comes to external links, they only include external links if there's a specific informative page about it (as opposed to just visiting details, or the general charity page).
