User talk:Davemartsolf

I am sort of alone here and trying to make a short non-promotional article regarding the professional artistic work of surreal artist David Martsolf. I have started a draft in my Sandbox, but other articles in Wikipedia talk about using draft pages or subpages, so that I think I am completely lost in this effort. For instance, where do I get the template insert that shows the site Contents. And, then how do I make the titles for each section? Are there any people willing to take a moment to direct me? I do not want to do anything wrong or inappropriate, or break the rules, or get kicked out. The whole thing makes me very nervous. I don't even know how to reach anyone else with this post. But, I will save it and try to learn somehow. Sorry to be so unsavvy about all this.

Regards,

Art Links are few and far between

Another problem with documenting anything regarding artist Dave Martsolf is that all old references such as art show caatalogs and the like are not ISBN publsihed works. Martsolf's last publicly reviewed show was in 2012. Two Internet published reviews are all that are left regarding the show. Regarding the artist's biography, nothing is available save the artist's own testamony of fact. Nothing can be corroborated other than by submitting images of birth certificates or college degrees. I feel this project is stillborn.
