I help a small online gallery and archive that features the artwork of Jerry Garcia. As such I am in a position of some expertise, having personally handled many of Garcia's artworks when the gallery was in a storefront in Berkeley open to the public, and having knowledge and expertise in printmaking and fine art. As I am new to this I want to avoid any real conflict of interest, and will do my best to avoid self-serving references. For example: as a native of Berkeley, California, who came of age in the sixties, I was a direct witness to a considerable slice of history through direct observation. Some of these anecdotal observations may not be verifiable, but could contribute to the knowledge base of the Encyclopedia. Can I cite myself?P.g.duffy (talk) 22:58, 28 March 2014 (UTC) PGD[reply]

No, you are unacceptable as a source, because you would be a primary and unverifiable source. Fiddle Faddle 08:00, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I finally saw your (TimFidddleFaddleTrent) comment from 22 May; thanks...You are right, it's a bad sentence as well.P.g.duffy (talk) 22:45, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

April 2014

Noting that in the Hawaiian language, a word doubled lends a new meaning to the word: "wiki-wiki" = P.D.Q.(Pretty Darn Quick), "wai"(water), "wai-wai" (wealth)...^[1]P.g.duffy (talk) 22:07, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sent 1st article for review. Hope it fits criteria.P.g.duffy (talk) 23:37, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Will no doubt make revisions and add relevant facts as I find references; will upload photo of bronze sculpture at Mills ("Power of Woman").P.g.duffy (talk) 23:19, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Added file photo, but see that it needs cropping; will try again.P.g.duffy (talk) 00:25, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to add relevant illustration to article awaiting review, but unable to upload as the article is still a "talk page". Previous upload deleted by another user, though it was a fair use image of the artist's public work.P.g.duffy (talk) 23:51, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Roberta Joy Weir

Hello P.g.duffy. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Roberta Joy Weir".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:Roberta Joy Weir}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
