Hi Rajibarber, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for reaching out! What do you mean by "safe" on Wikipedia? You can check out Help:Introduction for a tutorial for new editors to help you learn the policies and guidelines here. In general, it's good to pay attention to not disclosing more personal information than you want to disclose, because most activity on Wikipedia is completely public, but I don't know of other safety concerns really.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing were:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Olamide Subulade Alao-Akala and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Hello, Rajibarber!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there!

Hello Rajibarber. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Olamide Subulade Alao-Akala, 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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:Rajibarber. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Rajibarber|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.

I feel honored having you as my reviewer, and thanks for the good job done.
Truth be told, I am expected to receive a compensation for this particular edit/creation, that's not my major motivating factor for its creation though. On this, I should follow your directive to include: {{paid|user=Rajibarber|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}} in the specified template, and on my user page.
It is about stating the character as a fact of history in her local environment such that the younger generations could know that it is possible to rise through diligent hard-work and consistency and not through just by "any means" that is devised on a daily basis.
Forward, I sincerely wanted to take time and learn all the ropes of what works on Wikipedia till my last breathe. Being a trained cultural historian myself, I know there are a lot to learn on this platform, and maybe much more to give back.
Aside the guidelines you gave above Dear erudite, what best ways do you think I can have a safe stay on Wikipedia without running foul of the guidelines
