Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. Since the article is in daft space now, it's probably better to concentrate on that, it's better than the deleted version and as a draft it gets a degree of protection.

 * You have to provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that she meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the she claims or interviewing her. Your refs are better than previously, but some are still suspect, for example the charitybuzz link is effectively a sales site. Make sure that your refs are complete, for example, the first ref should say it's the New York Times, the books and other print sources should have page numbers, and you should use a consistent date style.
 * Much of your text is unreferenced, including all the awards and exhibitions. None of the awrds are linked to Wikipedia articles, which makes me wonder if they are notable enough to help establish notability as defined in my link above
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. It's not as bad as it was, but be careful of making value judgements, you should avoid using "notable" or saying "known for her glossy and slightly aggressive money shots" as if it's a fact rather than one writer's opinion. same with "many people were outraged"
 * Be careful with Further reading. it's too often a junk heap of every related to the subject. if it's important it should probably be in the article. similarly External links should normally be just her own main website
 * I notice that you have only written about her and her brother. If you have a conflict of interest you must declare it. In particular, if you work directly or indirectly for her or an associated organisation, or otherwise are acting on her behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by her or an organisation, 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:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Thank you for your help. It is my first article on wikipedia so I have a lot to learn. I am not being paid to write it, and only edited the page of her brother as was trying to link to her on it. I will work on adding more references and improving the article!
