Misplaced Pages editor
This is a Wikipedia user page.
This is not an encyclopedia article or the talk page for an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site. Be aware that the page may be outdated and that the user whom this page is about may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia. The original page is located at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Montanabw.
The sanity of this user is disputed. There. You don't believe me? Well, look at the rest of the page...

Welcome

Hi! I am Montanabw, I really do live in Montana and I really do own horses—who graciously allow me to upload their images into Commons from time to time. On Misplaced Pages, I've been around for a while, and am glad to assist other editors as I can. In real life, I am a small-town lawyer in private practice, which explains why sometimes I am not around to answer questions quickly and other times seem to live online; my work ebbs and flows. I occasionally write about legal topics, but in general, I do enough legal writing in my work; I prefer to work on other topics here. I also write books and do other freelance writing off-wiki. I am not compensated for anything I write on Misplaced Pages.

I sometimes fullfill requests for photos of objects or locations in Montana, particularly for National Register of Historic Places listings in Montana. I take random images when I travel, too, so check out my contributions at Commons. I can also access documents in hardcopy at the Montana Historical Society. I choose not to use my real name on WP, but I've met a number of wikipedians off-wiki, helped facilitate some editathons in Montana, and I've been to a few WP-related events such as WikiConference North America/USA, so if you met me in real life, feel free to pop over to my talkpage and say hello!
