Hi BanyanTree! Thanks for your message.

I think I may end up contributing more than I was planning, as I am quite surprised by the lack of articles on refugee issues.

MyNameIsClare 11:57, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That would be much appreciated! The entire field is shamefully sparse on WP; I created articles on internally displaced person and forced migration only in November, and there is almost nothing on country- or region-specific displacement, nevertheless refugee assistance/protection structures.

W. Mark Felt

Salve!
I nominated W. Mark Felt as a WP:FAC. As you commented on the Deep Throat talk page, I'd appreciate your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. Mark Felt/archive1. PedanticallySpeaking 15:49, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

Hi PedanticallySpeaking. I don't really know anything about the feature article process, so I think it would be better left to the people who know more about what criteria need to be met MyNameIsClare talk 10:42, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Watchlist Bookmarklet

I assume you were referring to: User:JesseW#The_code. For more information on how to use bookmarklets, see http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets. If that isn't enough information, I can explain further. Are you using Firefox or IE (or something else)? Do you know how to create a new bookmark with it? Do you know how to edit an existing bookmarklet? I really appreciate your interest. Thanks! JesseW 22:46, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes that's the one. I'm using Internet Explorer at university and Firefox at home, and I know how to make bookmarks but I've never heard of bookmarklets before. The site you posted says to just drag the bookmarklet link onto the toolbar but it does not mention how to use the plain javascript when it's not made into a link. MyNameIsClare talk 12:39, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Very good point. To use the plain javascript, create a new bookmark, then copy the javascript text into the address part of the bookmark. Then it will work. Again, let me know if you need more information. JesseW 19:37, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Jesse, that works perfectly :) MyNameIsClare talk 20:08, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hypno toad

Thanks, but I didn't actually make it myself, it's from here. It's scary, a google search for Futurama ascii art gets 26,300 results - some people must have a lot of time on their hands! the wub "?/!" 14:14, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Guardian Unlimited

Just to let you know, I'm probably going to try to edit this down quite a lot once the dust settles a bit. I'm not sure it's terribly... encyclopaedic, shall we say? Still, I remember my time as a regular in the Haven well enough to let it roll for today. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 15:41, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Yes I agree. Still, it's a good bit of fun for a Friday afternoon :) MyNameIsClare talk 15:54, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't write about yourself. Secret london 15:55, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't really, I was reverting stuff that someone else removed MyNameIsClare talk 15:57, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Clare. The sex lives of the Havenites are a complete mystery to me, and may they stay so ;o) I really removed it for more gallant reasons than NPOV but the last thing I needed was to get into a debate about it with enthusiastic GU folk, so I thought taking it down on a technicality was the best way to nip it in the bud. --bodnotbod 22:25, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Hello, MyNameIsClare! This message is to inform you that round three of Wikipedia Mind Benders will open on Wednesday, September 21, at approximately 22:00 UTC. While the opening time may vary by two or three hours, the round will open no earlier than 22:00 UTC. In addition, there are several rule changes, which will be detailed when the round opens. Everyone who answers a question correctly will receive points, but speed does give some extra points! Round three offers 11 new exciting and mind-bogglind questions, written by Deryck C.. These promise to be lots of fun! We sincerely hope you join us.

Also, congratulations to ROYGBIV for winning round two; it was an extremely close game, with the runner-up, Spondoolicks, only two points behind. Let's keep round three competitive! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MIND

Hello. Round four of Wikipedia Mind Benders will open on Thursday, December 1. This round will be drastically different from round three; part one will consist of a creative project, and part two will be developed from there. The full details will be released when the round opens. Time and speed should not be major factors in this round; thus, there is no exact opening time for the round as speed will not factor into the scoring. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:04, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Please add Wikipedia:Mind Benders/to do to your watchlist to receive further announcements; the NotificationBot is currently down and all notifications will be placed on that page. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Block

Not my block, other admin blocked 1/4th of the Tiscali range, not all of it. I asked him if the block of logged in users was intentional, and are waiting for his answer. As for now, sorry again for the inconvenience. As only 1/4th of the tiscali range is blocked, it may help to just log in again. -- Chris 73 | Talk 10:49, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for your reply. I also contacted Fred Bauder, before I found all this stuff about why the IP address was blocked. MyNameIsClare talk 10:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Refugee Council

I spotted that you created the Refugee Council article. It's not been updated much, and could do with expanding a bit. Any chance you could help? I think the campaigns section in particular could do with an update. Cordless Larry 22:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see what I can do. But I am not really involved with the Refugee Council myself, so mostly only know what is available on their website etc MyNameIsClare talk 16:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copy and paste moving

Hello, MyNameIsClare. It appears that you copied and pasted Marwell Zoo to Marwell Zoological Park. Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself using the move link at the top of the page, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you, Atomic1609 20:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for starting the list of famous refugees on Wikipedia, Clare! I dunno if you knew in 2005 how useful it would become, but I'm grateful for your foresight:) Czajniku (talk) 16:12, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
