Hello Seedjean. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Hisham Al Gurg, 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:Seedjean. 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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 12:21, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. Although I must admit that it felt too technical for me that I barely understood what went wrong. Nonetheless, I want to make it clear to you that this whole draft was given to me by Mr. Hisham Al Gurg himself and only instructed me to publish. I work for Mr. Hisham Al Gurg and I can provide proof on this. Also, I got the message that the "File:The Big Deal - A 6-Step Formula to Kill Your Low Sales Stress and Help You to Close the Biggest Deals Ever.png has been marked as a possible copyright violation." when, in fact, I was the one who also published it on Amazon. We own the copyright of the book, so this feels like a joke to us.

Can you just please instruct me on how to solve all of this in simple terms?

 * Hi. Being instructed by the subject of an article to write it on their behalf doesn't help. On the contrary. Having a connection to the person the article is about is a conflict of interest. Wikipedia isn't a place for free advertising. If you copy something that has already been published elsewhere then that is not a joke but is a copyright violation, contrary to international law and the terms of use for Wikipedia which you agreed to when you submitted the edit. See WP:DCM. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 19:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Can you please help me how will I be able to resolve this? What exactly do we need to change so this gets approved? If this is all that we have now, then does that mean that we can not be ever approved on Wikipedia, like ever?
