Welcome
Hello MetalPromo. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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:MetalPromo. 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. -- VViking Talk Edits 13:52, 5 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Afternoon,
 * I am not being paid for me to add useful information nor was that my intention. YES, we are a company that manufactures custom metal products and we do have over 20 years in the business. The discussion of challenge coins is one that can be very confusing and tricky for people trying to learn more about it. We have spent an immense amount of money and time building and creating useful resources to help the public learn more about what challenge coins are and how to design or make one. Helping the public understand helps us as well. Please let me know what we need to do to not be blacklisted . Thanks MetalPromo (talk) 19:02, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Challenge coin, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.-- VViking Talk Edits 14:05, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
