Hello, I'm Julietdeltalima. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Sun Country Airlines have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, please ask the editors at WP:TEAHOUSE, or take a look at our guidelines about links. ''Do not add inline external links. Why did you feel the need to single out this one airport? Are you involved in its marketing? You CANNOT do that here.  Julietdeltalima   (talk) '' 17:43, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello CThamesPGD. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Sanibel, 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:CThamesPGD. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. 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. ''Do not add any more inline external links to Wikipedia articles. Please ask the editors at WP:TEAHOUSE any questions.

 * I do apologize for this. I was not intentionally trying to break your policies. I work for the Punta Gorda Airport. I was trying add our airport information to nearby city pages. Is there a way for me to do this?
 * Thank you,

 * Or am I allowed to edit our wikipedia page (Punta Gorda Airport) with a section that includes nearby cities and neighborhoods?
 * Thank you,
