Hello TheConsultant360. 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are 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 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:TheConsultant360. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=TheConsultant360|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. 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. 331dot (talk) 16:36, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I confirm there is no compensation of any nature for posting this article. TheConsultant360 (talk) 16:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

So you are not a consultant in the employ or otherwise associated with Mr. Jabotian? 331dot (talk) 17:00, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Correct, I am not an employed consultant, he is a relative, and I am only helping in creating a wikipedia page for him. TheConsultant360 (talk) 17:03, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thanks, you will need to declare an unpaid conflict of interest(click for instructions). 331dot (talk) 17:05, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for helping me with this, I will check the link you sent. Unfortunately I faced an issue with the photos I uploaded to Wikimedia commons, Do you suggest I get photos that are not published online at all? TheConsultant360 (talk) 17:09, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Photos are not relevant to the draft approval process, which only considers the text and sources, so you don't need to worry about images until the draft is accepted and placed in the encyclopedia. Unless you personally took the photo, it isn't easy to use photos found on the internet as then copyright issues need to be looked at. If no copyright is provided with an image, it must be assumed the copyright is incompatible with Wikipedia(to be on Wikipedia, generally an image must be released for use by anyone for any purpose with attribution). 331dot (talk) 17:38, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

The photo in the draft article was nominated for deletion because it appears to have been taken from an external website here. Wikimedia Commons cannot accept images that are copyrighted in any way. The solution would be to take a new photograph and upload it with a CC license.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:39, 21 March 2024 (UTC):

All clear, I can surely get new photographs for the profile.

I really appreciate your help and providing me the necessary information TheConsultant360 (talk) 18:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
