About
Hello, my name is Francis a.k.a. Rand Freeman. I have interests in journalism, newspapers, 19th-century politics and San Bernardino County.
While you're here, feel free to sign my guestbook.
For one-on-one matters you may email me here, where I will respond quicker than if you post on my talk page. I am also on Discord as @tbd855. I have an iNaturalist account under the same name as here, RandFreeman.
I have no other active accounts on Wikipedia and, unless this one becomes compromised or I get locked out of it, never will; if that happens, I will make a disclosure of my previous account on my new account. But I do have a doppelgänger account, RandFreeman mobile, that I have created to prevent impersonation; the password to that account is scrambled, and it will never be logged into or used to make edits.| Wikipedia:Babel | ||||
