The Phantom Tollbooth illustration
That's exactly the sort of source which is terrific to the originator (you) but completely un-verifiable, and therefore can't be used in wikipedia. Can you imagine what sort of glop would be added to articles if "I heard so-and-so say this at a public gathering" was allowed as a source? I shudder to think of it! I really think that unless you can find a linkable (is that a word?) we shouldn't include the statement in the story. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 15:53, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Archives of American Art Update!
Hi! I just wanted to deliver a little news about the Archives of American Art partnership project! We have released our amazing barnstar to the world, learn how you can earn one here! We will be having a Backstage Pass tour later this month which will be announced this week, and an upcoming contest in which major contributors can win some amazing goodies from the Archives and Smithsonian, allowing for international involvement! Thanks again for your interest and I look forward to your continued participation in this ongoing project to better coverage on American art history on Wikipedia!
