For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

Hello, Tonia7lu. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Lostwithiel Stannary Palace, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 13:04, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dormskirk, thank you for your messages and responses. It's been a while since I edited anything on Wikipedia (with a different account), so it's helpful to know the new rules. I am working with Cornwall Buildings Preservation Trust (CBPT) to make their resources more available to the public online, and updating relevant Wikipedia pages to include information CBPT has on the entries is part of this. Therefore, I do have permission to use the text on the CBPT website for this, and I wasn't going to link to the CBPT website until I was asked to provide reference. Your guidance on the correct way to do this will be appreciated. Tonia7lu (talk) 13:32, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - If you are working for the Cornwall Buildings Preservation Trust, in any capacity, you need to disclose your conflict of interest on the talk page as described above. Also you need to paraphrase and summarise material: you cannot just copy from their website because it is clearly marked as copyrighted. Also please bear in mind WP:UNDUE: this building has been in existence for over 500 years, so the events of 2013 should not have more than a couple of lines. I hope this helps.
