Paid contributions
Your username and contributions gives the impression that you might be contributing to Wikipedia for pay. If this is the case, you must disclose this fact along with the identity of any entity that might be paying you for your contributions. Also, your username gives the impression that this account might be shared by more than one person, which is prohibited. You might want to consider changing your username.

Hi ,

Thank you for your feedback. I created a page for Cotton Incorporated, without realising there is a basic page already (which needs work). I noticed that the content was removed; should I wait for the original draft to be approved/rejected before I continue.

Just to clarify, I did not get paid for writing this article. Should I change my username? I am not part of a team, although I chose a username that is the same as my business name for ease of use. I'll change it if I need to.

Thanks again.
 * Yes, you should definitely change your username, since the existence of a company named JLT Creative, whose stated service is "content creation," will definitely give this username the appearance of a conflict of interest in any given contribution. As for your question about your draft: your draft will not be approved, because there is already an article on the topic. Once you have chosen a username that resolves the policy issues, you can update the existing Cotton Incorporated article, but only using neutral language, and relying on reliable sources for all information. I reverted your prior change to the article because it was largely promotional and, with only a few exceptions, entirely unsourced. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:55, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, much appreciated. I'm still new here but I understand the points you are making. I'll try to remove the draft (if possible?) and then change my username before contributing changes to the existing article. I'll try and see where the content is too promotional, as that is not the intention at all, so perhaps I'll remove some of it and just stick to facts. Thanks again.
 * You can remove the draft by blanking the contents and replacing them with the db-author tag. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:12, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
