Help me!
Please help me with referencing. I have added some early history to the page on Australian actor Damien Garvey. I was a work colleague and friend of Damien's in the 1980's, and all material I have added is from knowing him and from personal conversations with him. I am not sure if there is an acceptable way to reference this material?

So does that mean that, being uncitable, it is not permitted to be used at all?

 * Yes, that's exactly right. One of the fundamental principles of Wikipedia is that the information we present has to be verifiable - which unpublished personal conversations by definition are not. Sorry, but if no-one has produced a publicly-available document which confirms your statements, we cannot include your information in Wikipedia. Yunshui 雲 水 14:17, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
