Calling Anyone with Wikipedia Experience

Wikipedia, a necessary evil. If anyone has experience editing or publishing new articles on Wikipedia I would appreciate the help (even if it's just resources such as a dummy's guide to Wikipedia!).

I really dislike Wikipedia's own resources and I find the whole system extremely non-intuitive. I created a draft page for a brand which has repeatedly been declined due to: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. ". All links are from established news/media sources.

Perhaps most importantly, I was asked to insert a disclaimer that I worked for the company. No problem doing that at all. The method of inputting the disclaimer however caused me endless confusion and I believe I may have done it wrong as the draft's talk page is now displaying the following in display box:

The Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use require that editors disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation" with respect to any paid contribution; see WP:PAID. For advice about reviewing paid contributions, see WP:COIRESPONSE.

[[User:}|}]] ([[User talk:}|talk]] · [[Special:Contribs/}|contribs]]) has been paid by unknown. Insert diff to disclosure on your User page.

I can no longer see or edit the talk page, only the above message. Can anyone help?
