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.

Old user page

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: I use STiki or Huggle to monitor recent edits and revert vandalism. As an administrator, lately I've been helping with various administrative backlogs, such as: intervening against ongoing vandalism evaluating candidates for speedy deletion patrolling sockpuppet investigations 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 three DYK credits, listed at the bottom of my user page. Recently, I joined the account creation team, where I help create accounts for people who can't do it by themselves. When I joined in January 2019, there was a backlog of nearly 2500 requests extending back 2 months. I help write the monthly administrators' newsletter, which aims to keep administrators up-to-date on various goings-on affecting administrators, such as changes to policies and guidelines and changes to who has access to the administrator toolset. I have two alternative user accounts: one called User:Mz7 (alt) which I use on non-personal or otherwise insecure computers, and another called User:Mz7 (test account) which I use to see how Wikipedia looks to new users. Articles I have significantly contributed to: Wings for My Flight Vinicius and Tom Feathers: The Evolution of a Natural Miracle 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:Wikipedia is stressful User:Mz7/Avoid political banners User:Mz7/Core admin rights User:Mz7/Running Arbitration Committee elections Well then, I'll see you around! —Mz7 Current events In the news Bong Joon-ho South Korean film Parasite wins four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Bong Joon-ho (pictured).

After an RfC, partial blocks are now enabled. A draft policy is at Wikipedia:Partial blocks. Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. An RfC closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No process received consensus. The Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

Thank you (again)! — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 14:27, 26 February 2014 (UTC) The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar *opens up visor* Hey there. *removes helmet* Sorry, I need to wear this thick, heavy suit for protection when the vandals start attacking us. Anyways, thanks for your barnstar! I am usually on every day, but today I was particularly driven to stay on as ClueBot NG was down earlier. It's down a lot recently, don't you think? School got in the way, but as soon as I had some Internet access that was fast enough, I was fighting vandalism using Twinkle, Huggle, and STiki. Now that the bot is back up, I can hopefully get out of this suit. *unzips zipper* Anyways, I think I'll repay a barnstar with a barnstar, so here it is! Have a great day! ...now if you can give me a hand with this heavy suit...
