Hello, Sandytrevor. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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. Llll5032 (talk) 21:54, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing out to me the requirement for disclosing COI. I have added COI tags to my personal page, and added a statement to the talk page for John B Trevor, Jr. I do not know how to go back and add COI to my previous edits, but let me add an explanation here:

I am a grandson of John B Trevor, Sr., and realize that editing Wikipedia articles of relatives is strongly discouraged. However, my edits of May 24 corrects a factual error that originated with a misunderstanding on the part of Atlanta Constitution columnist Ralph McGill. He published a column which stated that the American Coalition has been indicted for sedition, which it had not. McGill published a retraction on the front page of the Atlanta Constitution on January 23, 1957, "Misunderstanding Corrected." This was further corroborated by the deposition of William Mahoney on January 15, 1957 https://nuvocom.com/JBT/1957-Jan-15-Mahoney2.pdf. Unfortunately, some authors including Adam Miller, whose 1994 article is referenced by this Wikipedia article, did not see or chose to ignore the retraction and quote the original false allegation.

I am an infrequent Wikipedia editor and don't know all the rules, but no one else has seen to correct this serious error so I have felt it necessary to do so despite my obvious COI. BTW, I had used by real name ("Sandytrevor") in all my edits.

If any more disclosure is required, please let me know. Or if there is a better way to make such corrections in the future, I would love to know.

File source problem with File:Smaa-interior-2024.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Smaa-interior-2024.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:14, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Smaa-sign2024e.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Smaa-sign2024e.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. jlwoodwa (talk) 00:26, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Smaa-interior-2024.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Smaa-interior-2024.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 00:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
