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).
Hey Randykitty--als je een minuutje hebt, can you maybe make this biography more "scientific"? Thanks! Drmies (talk) 14:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Looks pretty good to me. What would you like me to add, some citation parameters (#of citations, h-index)? That about those insects is rather sad, because you don't need to do a thorough counting to know something nefarious is going on: Not too long ago, one had to regularly clean the windshield of one's car because of all the bugs that had splashed onto it while driving. Nowadays, you can drive around for hours and not a single bug gets hit... --Randykitty (talk) 17:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Note on Talk page discussion, new information edit
Hi Randykitty and Drmies:
I'd like to call your attention to these two (1 and 2) new revelations on the Talk page of Rootbeerlc. I find it extremely difficult to believe someone purporting to be a full professor at a public Ivy has such a perilous understanding of plagiarism that they believe attribution of large volumes of copy/paste is unnecessary if one is copying from friends and relatives. (I mean, I guess, maybe if they were a CS professor ... j/k.)
That rather shocking statement, in concert with the revelation that the article Byron Randall was created to help boost the value of an art collection the editor owns and is actively in the process of selling, causes me to rekindle my concern that this account may be impersonating the aforementioned professor and it's not impossible it might be controlled by another party (i.e. a gallery) with a pecuniary interest in retailing the art the Randall article was created to promote.
