Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~.
 * I deleted your recent article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines. It may be notable, but all we are told is that it's an old country house. The rest is about people who have lived there, but the fact that notable people have lived there doesn't make the house itself notable. Nothing to suggest that it's a listed building, National Trust or anything else significant,
 * It was written in a promotional tone. It presents an opportunity to enjoy the ambience of a genuine Welsh gentleman's home largely unspoilt by its conversion to a country house hotel
 * Your email comes from the hotel, and it's clear that the purpose of the article is to promote the hotel; I assume that's why there is so much about the famous people. Your only edits have been to this article and adding spam links to related pages. I'm therefore going to block this account. The appeal procedure is described in the box.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the 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 by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  12:37, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

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 three important principles above. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 10:20, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

So, not only have you chosen not to tell me what the difference is between what I put up and a similar entry for Egerton Grey - I'm sure I can find many more examples if you wish, but you also don't tell me who this Jim person is. I put one individual article up and am not only given no opportunity of amending it when I'm told as a new user that it needs amending but remain blocked so I can't try a new version. Nothing in there was copywrighted so you are completely incorrect. Peregrine Armstrong-Jones, the person who wrote it wrote it for us in order to have an accurate description of the history of the house and the famous family as he actually lived here and owned the house. I used the user name of the place I live purely asa convenience - I could have just as easily used my own name so I don't see the relavence of this. As I feel so strongly that this house should be recorded in history, can I get someone else to research the subject and add an article?
