The screenshots on Wowhead go through an approval process. If you do not see your screenshot, it is either awaiting approval or has been declined for use. In the case of the latter, you should refer to the
Screenshots: Tips & Tricks
guide for tips on how to take screenshots that meet the standards of Wowhead's screenshot moderation team.

I typically go through screenshots in the afternoon, daily, and approve/delete/whatever as appropriate. Pending screenshots will
usually
be checked multiple times a day. :)
I want to take this moment to point out some ideal "guidelines" you can follow when preparing a shot for submission:
Be sure to turn up your graphics settings to make sure the shot looks good!
Model viewer and dressing room shots are deleted on sight. (this also includes character select, typically)
Don't include the onscreen text and the selection circle of a NPC.
Don't include any UI in the shot if you can help it.
Screenshots depicting obvious private server activity will be deleted on sight and appropriate action will be taken on the Wowhead user account.
Be sure to check out the
Tips & Tricks
for more helpful hints!
Also please, please, please use the screenshot cropping tool to focus on the item as much as possible and reduce any unnecessary surrounding. Remember that these images will be scaled down, and I am unable to further crop an image once it has been submitted so please crop it the first time or it may not be accepted. Whenever you have pending screenshots, it will show in your profile in parenthesis after 'Screenshots' on mouseover.

Could we perhaps get a message or something if the screenshot we sent in didn't get approved?
As Miyari mentioned above, there is a "pending" feature on your profile that shows you how many are in queue. If there are none in queue and you don't see the screenshot in your profile, then it has been declined.
At the moment we have no kind of notification system in place, so this should be sufficient to determine whether or not your screenshot was added until/if such a notification feature is added.

The quality of the screenshot was awesome, just retake the screenshot in-game without UI or player name and resubmit it please so I can sticky it!

For some of us, who occasionally get carried away with screenshotting projects, notification emails might put us over our mail quotas. ;)
