COI, websites etc
Changing username doesn't get around the fact that you are still the website owner and should not be promoting it on Wikipedia - see WP:COI. I would also encourage you to look at WP:ELNO together with other sections of the same page, which sets out what external links are acceptable. Your website is undoubtedly interesting but it only contains low resolution images and I suspect in many cases you are not the copyright owner (see WP:ELNEVER). If you do own any pictures then perhaps you could make a difference to Wikipedia by releasing them under a compatible licence and uploading them to Wikimedia Commons. --Simple Boba.k.a.

With respect, what you say is patronising. The website is free of charge, no log in and no password, no need to register: it is a free resource. The images are sketches of my photographs and I own all pictures and hence I own the copyright: the only exceptions are a few photos before my time and old postcards. I'm not interested in making a difference to W by releasing my photos as such!

I have no objection if you would prefer W to not have a link to my site, that's okay, but your comments are not impressive. I changed my user name because frankly it was easier to start a new account than try to understand how to go about changing the user name of my first account.

Re the other external links, Ledbury Poetry Festival is a profit-making organisation yet the link is allowed. Ledbury and District Society Trust Ltd (of which I used to be chairman, and whose link I entered on W) is in the business of generating revenue. Ledbury Reporter is a business.

Re other info on the Ledbury page, some of the history content is inaccurate. For example, Ledbury dates back to some 300 years before the Domesday Book. The Feathers is a 16th inn. The majority of the houses in Ledbury are from well before the Georgian period.

Re industry, Ledbury is the most important town in Herefordshire (outside Hereford) for tourist income.

Anyway, you have obviously made up your mind!

PS - I have edited some content on the Ledbury page notwithstanding.
