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? |

Picture of the day
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 dusky seaside sparrow (Ammospiza maritima nigrescens) was a non-migratory subspecies of the seaside sparrow, found in Florida in the natural salt marshes of Merritt Island and along the St. Johns River. Discovered in 1872 by Charles Johnson Maynard, it was distinguished from other seaside sparrows by its dark coloration and distinct song. From the 1940s onwards, the dusky seaside sparrow population declined and eventually went extinct. This was the result of human activity in the area including pesticides and flooding applied to reduce mosquito populations, industrial expansion, and highway construction. The last definite known individual died on Discovery Island in Walt Disney World in 1987, and the species was declared extinct in 1990.Photograph credit: P. W.

Barnstars
The Original Barnstar | ||
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.
