Small image problem from new user

Dear Hajatvrc, Thank you for welcoming me to the American Wikipedia and being a perfect host. I am a user in the Greek Wikipedia since June 2012. Among the entries that I have contributed is the one on the stage director Fotos Politis (1890-1934). Out of curiosity, I checked with en.wikipedia to see if he was included. Unfortunately he was, with an appalling entry by someone who was not even familiar with basic English. Of course, I noticed that he has been blocked from Wikipedia since 2010, but the entry remains for all to see. I thought I had an obligation to remedy the situation for such an important personage in the Greek theater scene, and I am now over halfway through. However, in the process of uploading a 1926 drawing of Politis, which I have already used in the Greek version and have also uploaded it on Wikimedia Commons, I seem to have made an error and it doesn't appear. If you had some time to visit the entry, and could give me some advice as to where I went wrong, I would appreciate it greatly. All my best.--Johnbastias (talk) 16:30, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, there. In this infobox template, you would use the same code as you would to put an image elsewhere. For example,

 |image = [[File:Φώτος_Πολίτης.jpg|180px]]

But, I see that you are providing other information in the infobox that is not showing up. Instead of using {{infobox}}, I would use {{infobox playwright}}, as that template seems to have all of the variables you wish to specify. Just look at the documentation for that template, where it gives you the code to use. Though it is important to note that in that template, you would use the code for the image that you had before (not [[File:...) For example:

Fotos Politis
Drawing of stage director Fotos Politis at his office in 1926, by Antonis Protopatsis (Pazzi)
Born	1890 Athens, Greece
Died	1934 Athens, Greece

{{Infobox playwright

| birth_name    = 
| birth_date    = 1890
