- @Missvain: Just a response to the comment that the article on Claire Barclay appears to be an article about the user, User:ClareEBrennan - I can absolutely verify that that is not the case, having been one of the trainers at the event where the article was created on Friday. The user works at the University of Abertay, which hosted the event, and is not the artist in question. I acknowledge the article is a stub and needs work and clarification, but I'm 100% sure that it's not a question of COI --ACrockford (talk) 21:15, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- OMG I am a total freaking idiot. The names are so not the same. Tells you that I should NOT be editing Wikipedia BEFORE I have my coffee. I'm a total idiot. I'm so so so so so sorry. I'm going to redo the welcome here. Sorry Ally...I'm so so sorry CLARE!!! #dohMissvain (talk) 21:41, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- No worries at all! I WISH I was Claire Barclay :) Thank you for the welcome and offer of support. Just a newby so may take you up on that! Kind regards, 193.60.166.136 (talk) 10:04, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Missvain: Haha aww no apologies needed! We've all done silly things when deprived of caffeine - I once poured my cereal *into* my coffee mug... which was full of coffee at the time! Just was worried that the article would get a speedy deletion nom :D --ACrockford (talk) 13:26, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
A kitten for you!

So sorry for the mistake Clare! I just need to not edit Wikipedia without coffee in the morning. :)
Welcome!
editHello, ClareEBrennan! Thank you so much for coming to the Abertay Art + Feminism editathon - it was great to meet you!
I do hope you'll stay around and become a regular editor. Don't worry about being perfect, Wiki is a constantly evolving entity. Fortunately there's a whole team of editors just like you who can help.
You can't break Wikipedia, but in case you're still nervous here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Is your topic notable enough for an article?
- Be Bold!
- Don't let grumpy users scare you off.
- Learn from others
- How to write a great article
- A simplified manual of style
