That page is not currently submitted for review. Please feel free to submit it for review once you have added more detail and sources. Wikipedia:VRS might give you ideas about the sort of sources that would be useful. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 06:24, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@71.62.199.172: You have to be an autoconfirmed user to upload an image, hence why you should register your own account. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:05, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is normal. There is currently a very large backlog of submissions awaiting review, so it can take from several weeks to over a month for a submission to be reviewed. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 06:23, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been struggling to insert two photographs into my first article, entitled: Walsall Lithographic Co. Ltd., in my Sandbox. Having spent a couple of hours and re-doing them several times, I finally managed to upload them into Wikimedia Commons, then had a bad time trying to insert them into my article with my own, proper captions, instead of the rather stilted, awkward captions I had to give them at the Uploading process. Try as I might, however, I could not get them to appear in the Preview of my article at all, much less get them to appear as I wanted them to appear, in a box down the right-hand-side. There is nowhere I could find any help or instructions how to do that, which is VERY frustrating! My latest draft, which has now been submitted for Review, only has the edited, written lines for the two photographs at the bottom of it, so I have no idea whether or not they will be included in the final page, if it passes review.

Hi, Sparkoparkes. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do with the pictures, but the basics can be found in the picture tutorial.

With that being said, though, I don't think your article will be accepted, with or without pictures. There are absolutely no outside sources cited for the information. Wikipedia needs sources. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 18:46, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Sparkoparkes: I moved your draft to Draft:Walsall Lithographic Company, so you can use your sandbox for something else. I subsequently declined it, as it had no sources. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:05, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
