User talk:Dr Simon Selby

Welcome!

Hello, Dr Simon Selby, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Fenny Castle, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Hi, yes, sorry about that, I’m new to all this. The edit was due to the fact that I own the castle and need to show that it is now privately owned. People are still very welcome to go on there, but due to health and safety liability factors they need to contact me to arrange it. Hopefully that addition makes sense and the additions can be added. Thank you Dr Simon Selby [redacted] 81.178.161.88 (talk) 21:25, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've been looking for secondary sources that say the castle is privately owned. I haven't found any. —C.Fred (talk) 21:28, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It always has been. It’s registered with the land registry and I can send you a picture of our CIC through company house. Plus, I’m telling you as the co-owner that it is….three people jointly own it. Dr Simon Selby (talk) 21:34, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is our contact at Historic England who we agreed the management plan with if you want confirmation of ownership and access requirements:

It's not practical for every reader to email HE to verify a management plan. —C.Fred (talk) 21:48, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Then perhaps you’d like to take my word for it…….failing that, perhaps you can suggest a solution, and/or forward me details about who I complain to…….I accept articles need to be protected, but some sense must prevail…..I am simply trying to add a legitimate amendment. You said you wanted secondary evidence….Nick Croxson is a simple email or phone call (redacted) Dr Simon Selby (talk) 21:58, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

24.8.2011 it was sold to Andrew Webb…..he is still a director/owner and we became owners on the formation of our CIC company last year. Here are the other previous owners according to the Land Registry:

Our chaotic non-management style

Wikipedia is strange. We are basically crowd-sourced. In any given 30-day period we generally have more that 100,000 editors. Each editor does whatever tasks they wish to do, with no deadlines and no explicit management or co-ordination. I like to answer questions on the help desk. I answer whichever ones I want to, and if I do not answer or if I wished to take a day or a week, or a month off, nobody would know or care. Due to this chaotic approach, it is not a good idea to use e-mail to me as an individual, because none of the other volunteers would be able to help if I suddenly go off-line due to health issues or simple lack of interest. Instead. reply on the relvant talk page or help page, or even on an editor's talk page, where another editor can see it if interested.

I think your Fenny Castle project is quite interesting, and I will enjoy tracking your progress. -Arch dude (talk) 15:56, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
