Help me!
Please help me with... I need help with my Jim Oblon article. Does it take several weeks to publish an new article from a new user? Also, I edited the page and added a picture shot of Jim Oblon; but I don't see it in the edit. Perhaps, I didn't reference him as the photographer. Please advise and thank you for your help!!!

 * The edit in which you say you added a photo only added blank spaces, so whatever you did didn't work. You cannot upload images to Wikipedia directly until you are autoconfirmed(your account is four days old with 10 edits or more, you only have 3 edits).  In some circumstances you can upload images to Commons, please see WP:UPIMAGE for more information.
 * You have not submitted your draft for a review- and if you did, it would not be accepted, as it is completely unsourced.  A Wikipedia article must do more than merely tell about the subject; it must only summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a subject, showing how they meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability; in this case, the definition of a notable musician. Wikipedia is not interested in how they describe themselves or in any content that directly comes from them(interviews, a personal website, etc.).  Please see Your First Article for more information; you may also wish to use the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia.
 * Please keep in mind that successfully writing a new article is the absolute hardest thing to do on Wikipedia. New users are much more successful when they first spend time editing existing articles in areas that interest them, to get a feel for how Wikipedia operates and what is expected of article content. If you do still want to attempt to create a new article- be prepared to fail in the first few attempts- this is normal.  You will find it helpful to use Articles for Creation to create and submit a draft for review by another editor before it is formally placed in the encyclopedia. This way you find out any problems first. 331dot (talk) 19:39, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
