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. 
Pelléas et Mélisande is an opera in five acts with music by the French composer Claude Debussy. The French-language libretto was adapted from Maurice Maeterlinck's symbolist play Pelléas and Mélisande. The plot concerns a love triangle between Prince Golaud, Mélisande (a mysterious young woman he had found lost in a forest), and Golaud's younger half-brother Pelléas. The only opera Debussy ever completed, Pelléas et Mélisande premiered on 30 April 1902 at the Salle Favart in Paris, performed by the Opéra-Comique, with Jean Périer as Pelléas and Mary Garden as Mélisande. The premiere was conducted by André Messager, who was instrumental in getting the Opéra-Comique to stage the work. This poster by the French painter Georges Rochegrosse was produced for the premiere.Poster credit: Georges Rochegrosse; restored by Adam Cuerden

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.
