A barnstar for you!

The Special Barnstar
I know I already gave you a barnstar, but about a month ago I would've thought that there was no way William Rundell would be featured in the DYK section of the main page. When I saw it, it was literally only 1 sentence. Yet here we are now, the article having undergone a major expansion and having been featured as a DYK. Way to go! You definitely deserve this for managing to do something like that. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#0001 14:41, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you kindly, I had some help and the advantage of knowing where to look for the sources. I wish he was slightly more exciting but these dull but worthy articles have their place and add to the richness of the encyclopedia. You could set yourself the challenge of going from one line to the front page, but choose your article carefully. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:02, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clarice Cliff

Thank you for your contributions to Clarice Cliff, some busy body had removed the page about The Newport Pottery, can this be reinstated? BTW It wasn't my page. I have other pages removed for no good reason though. Mariegriffiths (talk) 10:30, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
