Hello Erondigital. The nature of your edits 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:Erondigital. 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.  Ravensfire  (talk) 04:14, 1 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello @Ravensfire! We are not paid directly for any edits to Wikipedia. If that ever changes in the future, we will absolutely disclose this via a statement in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure.
 * As a courtesy for one of our partners, we are cleaning up their Wikipedia presence to ensure their information is objectively correct. It was clear that their Wikipedia article had been vandalized and contained highly inaccurate information, with limited citations that largely went to broken pages. This is not useful for Wikipedia users. Our goal is simply to update data in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines to ensure objective information with a neutral point of view. We will not allow the scope of any of our changes to be influenced by anything other than this goal in alignment with Wikipedia's purpose.
 * Thank you for checking in here - if there is anything else we can provide to further communicate our adherence to Wikipedia guidelines and policies, we are happy to provide it. Otherwise, we will proceed with additional "cleanup" edits as needed to ensure the objective, neutral, accurate state of Wikipedia. Thanks again! Erondigital (talk) 19:03, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * That's a very clear WP:COI here and you really should be using the article talk page and requesting edits. From your comment, I'm questioning that this still doesn't fall into WP:PAID territory.  I'm going to raise this at the COI noticeboard and ask for comments.  I will leave you a notice about the post when it's up.  There's also a problem with your account name, I'll leave a standardized message below for that.  Ravensfire  (talk) 20:01, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Erondigital", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because Promotional username - WP:CORPNAME. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. ''As you've edited again, there's an issue with your user name. It's considered a promotional username and your edit suggests that this could be a shared account which is also not allowed on Wikipedia. Accounts need to be specific to each individual person and cannot be a business name. Changing the user name is pretty simple, see Changing username.''

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:47, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
