User talk:Clarelockhart

Welcome!
Hi,, Welcome  to Wikipedia! I hope you like this place &mdash; I sure do &mdash; and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Help and the FAQ, plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page. ---

Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
 * You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
 * If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing.

Ashraf Ghani
I noticed that you re-wrote, and added quite a lot of text to the Ashraf Ghani article. Thanks for doing that. I haven't looked it over in detail, but it looks good; however, I'm curious where it came from? Are you the Clare Lockhart mentioned as a collegue of Ashraf Ghani? Are you aware that material uploaded to Wikipedia for which you hold the copyright must be released under the GFDL allowing anyone to use it for any purpose, forever? If it was from a forthcoming book, or column, you might want to mention this on the talk page, Talk:Ashraf Ghani, just so people don't get confused. Also, if you'd like to confirm that you are the Clare Lockhart who works at ODI, you can do this by adding a link to this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Clarelockhart to your staff bio, at: http://www.odi.org.uk/PPPG/staff/clare_lockhart/ or another page that is clearly only editable by you or someone you authorize. Thanks again for contributing to Wikipedia! JesseW, the juggling janitor 00:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
