Help me!
Please help me with... this draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Bette_Stuy&action=history

The last information I have on it is that it was deleted but I don't see why it was disapproved or anything, and I can't figure out how to contact anyone to find out!

 * Apparently there were some copyright violations on the page that saw parts of it deleted. The remainder still exists, though. Huon (talk) 20:04, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with... So how do I find out about how to get this approved? It's still in draft form and even if some stuff has to be deleted, that's fine. I just need to figure out how to get it moving again because it's been stagnant for more than a month with no approval or disapproval.

 * I regret that this is a less helpful reply than I hoped to give, but the more I looked into this situation, the less I liked it.


 * The history of this draft begins with user Umais Bin Sajjad, who has been blocked for copyright violations and undisclosed paid editing, and has admitted to at least one sockpuppet account.


 * I have deleted it as a copyright violation, because many of its sentences were copied from this article. Please read Copying text from other sources. It is also suspected that Umais copied it without attribution from another user's draft, which would be another copyright violation.


 * Your account was created the day after Umais was blocked, and immediately began to edit this page, while it was still in Umais' sandbox. This immediately raises the suspicion that you are another sockpuppet account; and I have raised a request at Sockpuppet investigations/Umais Bin Sajjad for a Checkuser, a technical investigation to determine whether two accounts are the same user. You are welcome to comment there, in the section headed "Comments by other users".


 * If you are not Umais, it is clear that you have some connection. I therefore have to ask you whether you are being paid for your edits, by Fiverr or anyone else, and to remind you that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use ("Paid contributions without disclosure" under section 4) to disclose your interest in any edits for which you expect to receive remuneration.

 * The Checkuser says that you are not the same as Umais. The question about paid editing still needs an answer. JohnCD (talk) 10:07, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Re: Paid Editing
I hope I'm doing this right, as this is my first time doing any of this on Wikipedia. The singer in the article is a client for whom I've done writing, editing, and social media work, and as part of my work with her, I am assisting her in uploading this to Wikipedia. I apparently missed needing to disclose that this was paid editing or writing? I really don't know. The article I submitted I wrote myself, and unless I missed something, I am pretty sure I referenced everything when I submitted the draft, and included the links to the articles in the draft. All of the links were given to me by the singer in question.

Since this was my first time, I had sent the article to the aforementioned user to ask him to assist me in getting it ready for upload to Wikipedia, in case I missed anything. I'm not sure what happened, but I never paid him and he told me that his account was suspended. I didn't know there was anything in his sandbox. Like I said, this is all really new to me so I'm just trying to figure out how to get this thing on Wikipedia. Sarita1126 (talk) 18:56, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You also need to disclosed the PR firm or website that the transaction took place through. Best Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 10:41, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Read Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. You should post on your user page User:Sarita1126 a statement on the lines of "I am editing about Bette Stuy in the course of my employment with the XXXX agency of which she is a client" or whatever the actual situation is. I am afraid I am very short of time at this moment, but within the next week I will give more advice about how you should proceed. Meanwhile, read WP:Your first article, WP:Notability (people), WP:Notability (summary) and User:Uncle G/On notability. JohnCD (talk) 21:32, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Advice
I am sorry to have taken longer than the promised week. Looking again at the draft and its rather complicated history, I now don't think it is a close enough copy for copyright to be a concern, and I am willing to restore it for you to work on; but first I would like to see on your user page the disclosure statement discussed above.
