OK, so we know we can't have a free book cover. So it will be a non-free one, and has to be uploaded here, not commons. Copy the stuff in the box below to notepad or similar and edit accordingly - only add data to the right of the "=" sign. The "Article" parameter must be the same as the article it will be used in. Note this only works for articles, if the page is in "Draft" or a sandbox, then you can't use it until it is a full article. Go to Special:Upload, pick the file to upload, copy and paste all the text in (don't touch the licensing drop down box, it's already included in the text below), and upload the file. (you don't have to fill all the fields in - except "Article")

== Summary ==
{{Non-free use rationale book cover 
| Article           = 
| Use               = Infobox
<!-- OPTIONAL FIELDS -->

Hope that all makes sense. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 16:04, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If the image is over 100,000 pixels you will get a message (from my Bot) that it's too big, do nothing, another bot will reduce it for you. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 16:07, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Ronhjones ! That makes complete sense and I will go ahead and follow that procedure. The only issue now is that my article (The Spirit Photographer) is in Draft form (and has been so for some 3 weeks now). I don't know if there's anything you can do for me to expedite its publication. If not, we will just wait! Thanks so much for all the guidance . . .

I leave the reviewing to those who do it better than me. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:22, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK Ronhjones  -- thanks a million! Moviemaker325 (talk) 22:25, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by K.e.coffman was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Suggest integrating the reviews into Draft:Jon Michael Varese instead.

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 when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:The Spirit Photographer and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:The Spirit Photographer, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
• You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

RESPONSE: Thank you for the review K.e.coffman. I've followed your suggestions and:

• Removed all "peacock" text from the article submission
• Added "Critical Reception" section from The Spirit Photographer article to the main article
• Disclosed COI on my User page. (I am the subject's third cousin.)

Please let me know if there is anything else you need me to do. Thanks, Alexander Moviemaker325 (talk) 02:39, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
