how do I upload an image to an unpublished article?

 * I have moved your work to Draft:Turtle Doves, the usual location for unpublished articles. It is a long way from meeting Wikipedia' notability inclusion criteria, and the presence or absence of images will have no effect on whether it is approved, so I advise you not to focus on images at present. Company logos may not be uploaded to drafts. Doing so does not qualify as fair use. That changes if and when a draft becomes a published article. Whether other images may be used depends on many factors, beginning with who created them. Worldbruce (talk) 01:55, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Pictogram voting comment.svg|20px]] This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. I added a bare bones infobox to American School Foundation of Guadalajara for you. Template:Infobox school explains the many options. How to add pictures depends on many factors, beginning with who took the photographs. Please consider asking this question at the Help desk. - This is where editors will try to answer any question regarding how to use Wikipedia. Just follow the link, select the relevant section, and ask away. You could always try [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=help&fulltext=Search searching Wikipedia] for any help related to the topic you want to know more about.
 * More important than cosmetic changes is that the article cites no sources. Unsourced material may be removed at any time. Worldbruce (talk) 00:22, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

109.155.219.61 (talk) 18:15, 11 September 2015 (UTC) Two Questions: 1. Could you please give an example from the article that is not written in the 'formal tone' required by Wikipedia. 2 Could you please give an examples or 'peacock terms' used in the article? Many thanks.


 * I'm not sure that the Draft has or ever had serious promotional problems. The version that was declined by User:Onel5969 had "ranked among the top 100 in the United States" about his high school, which is somewhat peacockery, but User:DGG has since removed that. The existing version has "fostering wider connections between such diverse platforms" which sounds like what I call brochure-speak. Anyway I have resubmitted the Draft as I think it merits further review.


 * If User:Ldearlove is your account, it would be helpful if you signed into it when asking questions or editing, as it helps us to keep track of who needs what help. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 09:10, 16 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The real problem is whether he meets WP:PROF; I think it's marginal, and I would therefore be reluctant to accept it into mainspace, because it's quite possibly going to be deleted. Only one book of which he is sole author, from a very minor academic press, but it was reviewed in the usual places. Other books are editions of classics, or co-ed. with his advisor, of guest ed. of a journal issue. The many journal article are very little cited, but that's usual in this subject--it's books that are important. I gathe from this Durham Web Page he's writing another book. I would wait until it comes out & is reviewed  before trying this article,  It never does anyone's career any good to have an article about them deleted for lack of notability.
 * As for style, the "informal style" template is the closest we have, but it can be misleading. The actual problem is that the links and the refs are many of them a little unnecessary. The article links the people who taught courses when he was working for his Masters. (His doctoral advisor is linked, but that is quite proper). There's extensive references to support which elementary and high school he attended, and essays he wrote in high school.  This sort of article writing is common when the actual accomplishments show the person is not yet notable.  I'm Declining the article, & summarizing this to the Draft page as the reason.
