About me
I chose my username because I am a Utah fan, and I lived in Washington, D.C. when I registered for Wikipedia.
Now I have graduated from law school and am back in Salt Lake City, but I kept my original username.
I am active in WikiProject College football. I also enjoy welcoming newcomers as well as reverting vandalism, which I find therapeutic.
I love barnstars. I have four so far, but always appreciate more. So if I've done something you think is worthy of recognition, show some WikiLove and award me one on my talk page, okay?
I endorse more pictures and visual media on Wikipedia. To that end, I put the picture of the day on my profile page to raise awareness of the power of visual media.
The wood stork (Mycteria americana) is a large wading bird found in warmer parts of the Americas. North American birds may disperse to South America, where it is resident. Its bare head and neck are dark grey and the plumage is mostly white, with black on the tail and part of the wing. The sexes are similar, but the juvenile has a feathered head and a yellow, not black, bill. The wood stork nests colonially in wetlands, building its one-metre-diameter (3.3-foot) nest in trees; the breeding season starting when water levels drop. The clutch of three to five eggs is incubated for around 30 days, and the chicks fledge 60 to 65 days after hatching, although many die during their first two weeks. The chicks are fed fish while the adult also eats insects, frogs and crabs as available, foraging by touch in shallow water. This wood stork was photographed with a Yacare caiman in the Pantanal, Brazil.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
Great work on your edits to Holy War (Utah vs. BYU). You did a good job of making balanced edits to an article that sees some very partisan and biased edits. I tried to find a 'Keeping It Real' barnstar, but I don't think there is one. So thanks for not letting your own views get in the way of writing a fair and complete article.
