License tagging for File:T.K. Godbey.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:T.K. Godbey.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:30, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Donald Albury. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Waldo, Florida have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Donald Albury 19:12, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

I've got your email. I replied to it. The city needs to grow. I've been on the city council 10 years and we're trying to get past the negative publicity we received from "AAA" about the Speed Trap. I didn't add anything to that section other than the title. The section only had pieces removed. I don't understand why the Education section had the section removed about the school that opened in Waldo. The city is trying to grow. Please let me know what I need to do. Thank you for your understanding and help. Glen. Glenajohnson (talk) 20:02, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Glenajohnson. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Waldo, Florida, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Glenajohnson. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Glenajohnson|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:05, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I created the page. I am retired and my only interest is in helping the city. I make no money other than the monthly pay I get as a member of the city council, (Which is minor, believe me). If you have any other questions, please contact me. Thank you. Glenajohnson (talk) 22:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Nevertheless, as a member of the city council, you have a conflict of interest, and you should follow the practices listed in the section "COI editing" in that guideline. Also, please read our policy on verifiability and our guideline on reliable sources. Donald Albury 22:35, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
