User talk:Randykitty
Add topic | I am online only intermittently. If you need an admin, please go to WP:AN. If you came here because I speedily deleted an article, please see WP:REFUND first. If you have questions/problems concerning academic journals, Headbomb is very knowledgeable on this subject and always very helpful. Thanks. |
Hi, and welcome to my User Talk page! For new discussions, please add your comments at the very bottom and use a section heading (e.g., by using the "+" tab, or, depending on your settings, the "new section" tab at the top of this page). I will respond on this page unless specifically requested otherwise. I dislike talk-back templates and fragmented discussions. If I post on your page you may assume that I will watch it for a response. If you post here I will assume the same (and that you lost interest if you stop following the discussion).
