[[File:Falco peregrinus Morro Rock.jpg|center|550px|thumb|"Suddenly I stopped, unable to breathe. As the image flew overhead, I could see the smooth blue feathers, the arced, pointed wings, and the jet-black head of a peregrine falcon. [...] I had been taken full circle. I was watching a wild peregrine falcon flying freely in a field—outside my own front door."

Hello, and welcome to my user page.

I'm Mz7, and I am a volunteer editor at Wikipedia. I made my first edits to Wikipedia in 2008 as an anonymous user. I created an account in March 2010, but I really only started actively editing in late 2011. Most of my work here is behind-the-scenes:


 * As an administrator, lately I've been helping with various administrative backlogs, such as:
 * conducting sockpuppet investigations
 * intervening against ongoing vandalism
 * Every now and then, I create and develop articles. See here for a list of pages I've created, and below for a list of pages I have significantly contributed to. I have several DYK credits, listed at the bottom of my user page.

I have three alternative user accounts: User:Mz7 (alt), which I use on non-personal or otherwise insecure computers; User:Mz7 (test account), which I use to see how Wikipedia looks to new users; and User:Mz7 (bot), which I am currently using to update the case table you see at WP:SPI.

Articles I have significantly contributed to:
 * Wings for My Flight
 * Vinicius and Tom
 * Feathers: The Evolution of a Natural Miracle
 * Plumhoff v. Rickard
 * McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission
 * Safford Unified School District v. Redding
 * Miraitowa and Someity
 * On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
 * Hydraulic Press Channel
 * The Prairie Keepers
 * Poppy (novel)
 * Praying Drunk
 * Thor Hanson (biologist)

Wikipedia essays I've written:
 * Wikipedia is stressful
 * Core administrator rights
 * Avoid political banners
 * G5 is not a firm rule
 * User:Mz7/Running Arbitration Committee elections
 * User:Mz7/Attack ideas, not people

Well then, I'll see you around! —Mz7
